My day yesterday including verbal abuse!
My day at the theatre yesterday wasn't anything brilliant.
To start with, the musical 'Beautiful' wasn't half as good as I hoped it would be - it ended too abruptly and not enough good music.
We had the Drifters & The Shirelles & other 'artists' performing the hits that Carole King wrote for them but they weren't particularly good..
Then at the bus station waiting for the bus to come home Chris & I were verbally abused by a young woman with a pram.
We were waiting 20 mins for the bus and we were the second in the queue. Rather than stand all that time we parked ourselves on a nearby seat and when we saw the bus we went to take our place in the queue.
This young woman went ballistic at us 'Get to the end of the effing queue' she said. 'I hate it when old people push in and think it's alright just because they're effing old'
We pointed out that we had only been sitting on a seat and that we weren't pushing in. She let loose with more effing & swearing - by this time the bus had arrived so we got on and tried to ignore her.
After about half an hour on the bus we got a surprise. She came to us and apologised - told us she was bipolar.
Her temper had been way out of control - I'm just glad she wasn't physically violent towards us!
