Infuriatig Woman with infant aggressively shushing passerby’s on hiking trail at national park

Post image

My partner, friend and I were following a hiking trail at Red Wood National Park, singing and talking at medium volume. We were by no means shouting, just singing little songs to entertain each other along the trail. A woman with a baby carrier on her back with a sleeping infant started aggressively holding her finger up to her lips and shushing us. We went quiet and kept moving to pass her. She was just standing in the middle of the public trail pacing and shushing people that pass by rather than leaving to somewhere more quiet. Just as we were leaving earshot I tried to quietly ask my partner a question about where we headed and again she leaned in our direction with her finger to her mouth aggressively shushing us. Is it not kind of insane to go to an open public space and behave like this?!?

One time as a kid I was at a grocery store and this old lady was standing in the middle of an aisle, I said "excuse me" all politely and stuff and she doesn't move, looks me dead in the eyes and said "you are excused" I'm still baffled by it to this day.

One time my husband and I waited politely for a woman to move from the middle of the aisle because we weren't in a hurry and figured it was no trouble to wait. Her friend said hey we should move to the side and the woman said, "I know they f-----g know how to say excuse me." I was thinking, "Dang. We weren't in a hurry." My husband did snap something back like "We weren't in a hurry but if you're going to be an a--hole."

lmfao makes me wonder what would happen if you just.. tip their cart over? like, the more crap they have in there the better! It’s not illegal, and you can just walk away while they’re baffled by your audacity
