So I was in line at a pastry shop and all of a sudden a woman came from my left, grabbed my arm firmly and pulled herself up to the higher level up to the shop window. I was stunned and said a bit loudly "What's your problem lady?". She didn't even look at me.

Note that she was a young, maybe in her 30s woman who seemed perfectly normal. So she wasn't an old woman who could barely walk or something. Also note that the woman didn't say anything or even looked at me. She just grabbed my arm and almost pulled me down to get herself up.

Then she went up to the front of the line and asked some young boys that were first inline and getting ready to order if she could cut in front. They of course said no, and then a fat sleezy guy in a cyan shirt started aggressively telling them that "She was a handicapped woman". She started saying the same, and the she turned to me and literally yelled over the entire line "That's why I grabbed you by the arm, because I have a handicap with my leg and I can't pull myself up!". Keep in mind that never did it occur to the lady to give me a heads up or even LOOK AT ME when she yoinked me.

So I yelled back "Yeah, I get it, but can't you at least say something when you do it?". Neither one of them said anything and she just went to the window to order.

Thing is now everyone in the line is looking at me and some guy in the back comments something about me. They almost kicked me out of the fucking line, which the guy commenting in the back already tried to cut in front of me before and the kids on front did cut.

Now, of course I would, and do when I have the occasion help old people with limited motor abilities, and disabled people too. I'm not a monster. But this lady expected everyone to just know she had a disability I had to literally squint at her leg to see. And on top of that, start pulling people and saying nothing out looking at them.

Of course I may actually be the self centered prick here, but tell me your opinion. I had to get it off my chest.
