    I was in line at TSA, putting my bags on the conveyor belt when I feel someone shove me from the side. I stumble and turn my head to see a woman staring at me with a glare and she says, "I'm running late."

    Then she proceeds to try to shove my baskets and stuff down the belt when I'm not even done taking off my shoes or taking my laptop out of my bag yet.
  • 04
    I shake it off because I'm not in the mood to fight anyone at the airport, and walk to the metal detector line once I'm done hastily putting my stuff on the belt.

    Then, as I'm waiting in line, I feel a hand on my back sweep me to the side, and I see the same woman, and she CUTS IN FRONT OF ME.

    Now I'm angry, so after we get through the line, I march up to her and say, "Excuse me, but you can't just put your hands on people like that just because you're running late."

    She looks at me with a stunned face, as if she doesn't know what she just did.

    Edit: For those of you asking why I didn't do anything in the moment, I am a very petite young woman, and this woman was significantly bigger than me. I was in shock in the moment, and didn't know what to do. Next time, I will definitely stand up for myself in the moment.

    Edit 2: Can y'all stop the victim blaming in the comments section? It's easy to say what you would have done in the moment sitting on your couch on your phone, but it's a whole another thing when it happens to you unexpectedly. People have different automatic responses to things. Before this happened, I would also have thought that I wouldn't "let" this happen to

    me, but in the moment, it was extremely shocking and I froze. Also the language "let" this happen is honestly callus and cruel. You think I wanted this to happen to me? Have some empathy. I am a real human being, not just some avatar on a screen.

    ababab70 Oooh, a couple days ago at the airport, I'm waiting at the priority lane to board (international flight) and a couple just saunters in "is this Group 1" we told them yeah and another guy motioned towards the line, it they just stood there. Boarding opens and they rush in but when they went to scan their tickets they didn't had their passports out.

    Woman starts digging through her giant bag while trying to block the rest of us, I just said "excuse us" and gave my passport and ticket to the GA. You'll think I had on her coffee, with the furious look she gave me. GA asked her to step aside while she looked for her docs. Small victories.

    Excellent Squirrel86. Exactly this. No one calls them out. Ever. So they keep doing it, facing no repercussions.

    Cfwydirk Because people let them.

    Suspicious_Koala_497. Next time start yelling, "get your hands off me". Then TSA should come investigate. File a complaint, which will cause her to be even later. FAFO
