9. I TRIED to get away from him once. I have high blood pressure and don't need a stroke.

I had a life-threatening vascular condition on Thanksgiving of 2011 and spent 8
days in the Intensive Care Unit in a hospital and am still payiing off the bill.

The responsible thing for me to do is to REMOVE myself from an aggravating situation that could threaten my health. I tried to do that but she followed me. She had no business in the first place getting in my line at a 90 degree angle? Why is my checkout line so special that she has to barge in sideways??

That still doesn't mean that I don't have a right to get away from him as soon as possible because of my high blood pressure. I have a right to avoid people who are that loud and disruptive. I've seen some pretty mean loud rednecks in my time that were allegedly normal.
I didn't know what his problem was. Just anger or a mental disability?

I am sorry I mentioned it. Everytime I talk about my problems someone attacks me for my reactions and tells me I'm wrong for reacting the way I do. I didn't need the asschewing I got from the woman. She needs to know that her kid is scary and intimidating. He was well over six feet tall and might weight 400 pounds, I don't know.

I am five foot two and older. I also cried all day the next day and had a nightmare where I woke up crying in disbelief. This woman really sucked my energy by attacking me.

I have a friend with a 35 year old autistic child who is large and makes noises but not like that.
