so to make a long story short, I recently had hand surgery and have a big cast on my hand. My boyfriend and I went to Costco the other day and we separated for a minute so I could grab vegetables and he could grab some chicken. A couple was not paying attention and walked right into my hand as I was grabbing something. I told them off and they walked away without an apology.

I went over to my boyfriend and explained all this to him. He was understandably mad, and asked me where they were. I didn't see them anymore so I told him I had no idea.

then he started ranting on and on about how people are assholes and should not be able to get away with bullshit like this and need to pay the consequence. There was kids around, and he was swearing a lot, so I asked him to please stop and wait until we got into the car. I was feeling quite embarrassed, so I told him to please stop or I was going back to the car. He didn't want to stop, and I had to walk away before I got too angry at him.

He did eventually stop, and we had a good night for the rest of the night, but I hate that he

couldn't stop himself and respect what I wanted in the moment. (considering I was the one bumped into.)

this issue has popped up only once other time in our three year relationship, early on when we first started dating. I was in the emergency room for deliberating tailbone pain after surgery complications, and after seven hours of waiting, he was ranting to mostly himself about how it was bullshit that we had to wait this long.

While I agree with him both times, I don't like causing a scene in public and I feel like he should stop when I ask him to.

Am I overreacting? Is this normal behavior that comes out Just due the stress(considering it's only happened twice in three years.)

Sorry for any grammatical errors, like I said I had hand surgery and I'm using text to speech

EDIT: when I said, I told them off, all I did was stand there for like a good 30 seconds while we stared at each other, and then as they were walking away, I told them they were assholes who needed to pay attention. They fully reached over my entire body to grab something that was in front of me. My arm was pressed against my chest to make sure it was above my heart, which is what the doctor recommended. Reaching over someone to grab something is extremely fucking rude, especially because it was not a busy time, and then to bump into someone who's injured… I'm not gonna just not say something, i'm not a doormat

like the caption says, I had surgery on my dominant hand, and I am in need of a job. I am normally a waitress, but obviously I cannot do that right now. It's predicted. I'm probably gonna be out for at least a year, it was a pretty serious surgery. luckily, I have a boyfriend who pays all my bills, but I obviously want to have my own money/help them out. Plus, if anything happens to the relationship, I am absolutely fucked. I have some savings, but not a lot as I am only 23, and simply just a waitress.

And no, I cannot collect disability or anything because my Social Security number was stolen, it would only be a part of my two dollar an hour wage in the first place.

Any/all grammatical errors are due to using text to speech and I do not feel like going back and fixing anything
