I won’t confront at all and this is hard. One time, while a line for a food cart stretched completely across the road, I didn’t see that and said “excuse me!” as I went between people a foot or two apart. A HUGE guy started screaming at me, “Lady, go around!!!!!” I said, “Sorry, excuse me?” and he yelled that they were in line for the popcorn (or whatever it was) and he yelled again ‘Can’t you see that?!?!” Actually, no I can’t, since I’m legally blind, but he pointed to the end of his line near the end of this road. (This is between Fantasyland and near Adventureland). I didn’t say a word about how the line should be along side the walkway/main road, and I never did see where he pointed. Then, his MOTHER, even older than me, started yelling at me. Both of them screamed at me about consideration, being mindful of other people, and more. Some obscene words barreled out of both of them. I stood there, with my dark glasses on in the glaring sun, alone, and took it for about 5 minutes.
I’m like “ok, bye!” and never did know where the heck he was pointing, why there were completely blocking the walkway, or why he was so bent out of shape.
Unfortunately,I was so upset I left the park. I generally see well enough to get by all through life with glasses on, and I know this- but after being yelled at like that I was petrified that I’d somehow offend someone else.
Later, after going to a different park, I realized that I didn’t do anything wrong and they were just miserable people. Something else must have been bothering them, as it was obvious that I was walking, alone, and not about to cut in any sort of line that was misplaced. but I guess it still bothers me, because it was in 2020 and I mentioned it here today.
I wish I was the kind of person who could confront, but I’ve only been able to do it when I see someone bullying or hurting a child.
