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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Just because they're old, doesn't mean you treat them with respect when they act like assholes

*sigh* A line? C'mon even I know what queue is, and English is not even my native language.

I was just about to ask if you're British. I'd have done the same.

@83 - it's a line , as in the people waiting in line are queuing up to be served. OP - should you see this same old woman again, savagely push in front of her. When she complains, and believe me, she WILL complain , as being old she will invariably presume she has the right to be a rude arsehole - turn around and politely and loudly ( just loud enough for everyone to hear no need to shout ) that you recognise her from last time, and recall that she shoved you out of the way, without so much as a by your leave, and that you think she ought to know how such rudeness feels. Point out that she should have waited in line last time like everyone else, and that her age does not give her automatic rights to barge in wherever the hell she pleases. Nor should she expect people to simply allow her behaviour to go unchecked. Therefore, you will stand right there where you have pushed in, and she can stand behind you or go to the back of the line as you felt compelled to do. If she denies it, just mention that the shop will have CCTV records of her pushing in last time and that she hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Old people in the Kokura area of Kitakyushu city in Japan cut in queues in supermarkets and bark to the cashiers who instruct them to go to the end of the queue. I think we tend to lose pride when getting older.

it's possible the old lady could have been in the early stages of Alzheimer's, in which case pushing back would have made her even angrier and could have led to violence. the best thing to have done would've been to find a manager and tell them of the incident and suggest they try to find someone who's related to her to take her home.
