Today, an old lady savagely shoved me out of a queue, after I'd been waiting for twenty minutes. I couldn't bring myself to fight back or say anything, and ended up dragging my sorry arse to the back of the queue. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while queuing in a shop, a girl appeared to bunk the line. When I asked her about it, she said it was nothing to do with me. She then asked me what was I going to do about it, before kneeing me in the nuts. I was overtaken by everyone in the queue. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a bunch of angry people because I couldn't physically move out of the way while 10 more tried to force their way onto a subway in Shanghai. Then one old lady started hitting me with her purse to get me to move even more. FML
Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML
Today, I went to an over-crowded grocery store. As I reached the front of a long line, I noticed that a cart had been abandoned in everybody's way. Trying to be helpful, I moved it to the side. An enormous woman then shoved me and yelled at me for "pushing her property around." FML
Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML
Today, I was on the train next to an elderly woman. When I told her it was my stop, she turned her knees towards the aisle, and I, thinking that she was letting me go by, began to edge past. She screamed, "DON'T PUSH ME!" and the whole train turned to look. I was thus the asshole pushing the old lady. FML
Today, the slow, incompetent kitchen staff was keeping customers waiting for their food for 20 minutes. I got sick of a bunch of grown adults with kids my age ganging up on me, so I quit on the spot, and walked. Some guy grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back to the register. People cheered. FML
Today, I shouted, "Fuck off!" out of reflex when I felt someone behind me grab my bag and pull it off my shoulder. It turned out to be an elderly man with a walking stick, who was trying to steady himself in a busy crowd. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML
Today, I was taking a walk, when an elderly lady in a motorized wheelchair slammed into me from behind. There was plenty of room to pass by, but noooo, trying to run me down like a dog, then giving me the finger and yelling "Watch where you're walking!" is so damn preferable. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take a stand. People like that will continue to think they are the boss of everything if you don't defy them.

Evil people do get old you know. They don't lose their evil just because they're older and wiser. No! Now they're even more evil cause they can't do as many evil things as they used to and have more time to think of how to use the respect they've gained from being so damn old. Get your ass back in that queue!

Did this same old lady get stopped by airport security for carrying a pocket knife?

Press charges for assault. People like that need to know consequences.

I assume because nowhere else in the world is anything like as litigious. No really, if you tried to sue someone for a shove (in which it doesn't appear like the OP was even hurt)... well, the CPS wouldn't touch it, you'd have to pursue it privately and frankly I a) doubt any court in the UK would hear it, and b) even if they did, you'd lose both the case and your money.

Yeah that's definitely not grounds for assault in the US.

Don't you know? Old people do what they want. I'm gonna be such a troll when I'm old... just like this old lady.

Seeing as though you were in a queue (and being British you should know all about queuing etiquette :P) weren't there other people you could have used as back up when telling her that she was in the wrong? I can understand that if no one saw she could play the 'but I couldn't possibly have shoved you because I'm so frail looking' card, but with other people around someone should've noticed and you'd have been able to assert yourself enough to not have to go to the back of the queue.
