Attack of the OAP...


Today Tony and I had to go into town, I needed to collect my tablets, Tony needed some decorating essentials for his office.
We decided to go on the bus it is easier and cheaper than parking the car. The weather was pretty grim, cold, windy and raining. We stood at the bus stop talking to a lady who lives up the road from us, there was also another woman waiting. We were waiting maybe ten minutes, then another lady came just before the bus.
As the bus pulled up the lady we had been talking to climbed on the bus, before I had chance the last lady to appear pushed her way on. So I said to Tony " it's alright standing here getting wet when others can just jump straight on" . Well she turned round put her fist in my face and shouted " you better shut your mouth you or I will shut it for you" . I was quite taken aback and just laughed at which point she grabbed my glasses off my face, and continued to threaten me. There was not a lot a lot I could do as I use 2 sticks now so I had no free hand. Tony took my glasses back from her and told her to go sit down at which point she started to threaten him, telling him " I will hit you I hit a man a work I don't care" . She carried on for a while so I just ignored her.
When we got to town Tony spoke to the bus driver who told him that the whole thing was on the bus CCTV if we wanted to report an assault. Tony spoke to the lady and told her what the driver had said,
Earlier this evening she came and knocked on our door and apologised, she said she hadn't seen us because she has a cataract in her left eye so she only saw the other lady and the girl in red! The fact we were stood in between these two people on her right side didn't quite match up with her story, but what can I say, she said sorry and the way she acted I think she might be a little bit mentally unbalanced
So that was the most exciting part of my day being attacked by a 67 year old lady who didn't even reach my shoulder...
