Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : So  I go shopping. I enter the store and there's this long ass shopping  cart supporting escalator from the entrance of the building (and car  park) to the entrance of the store. As I enter I see this family  blocking the entire thing. No problem, I think. Walk up, politely ask  them to make some space. The guy is starting to try and move the cart  but does it in like the most stupid fashion imaginable and by the time  he'd be done, we'd be at the top. So I push myself past them and am on  my merry way.

As I'm doing my shopping,  some guy walks up to me and just stands there staring at me (I got  earbuds in). I notice he's probably there because of me, take my earbuds  out and ask what's up. He tells me there was a kid in the shopping cart  and it almost fell over when I pushed past. (which I HIGHLY doubt.  There was barely enough space for me to push through so there is no way  this cart could have fallen over as there was not any more space on the  other side).

I  am stunned, as I have absolutely not realized that there was another  kid. There was one standing on the escalator, but I couldn't see what's  in the cart as the people were standing in front of it when I approached  from behind. So any accusation that I... wanted to hurt the kid,  accepted that a kid might get hurt or something similar is just wrong.

While  I'm collecting my thoughts the very tactful man makes a remark about  how I am not even going to apologize... so I cut my thinking short, I  apologize to him and tell him I had no intention to put his kid in harms  way. Afterwards I tell him that I wouldn't have had to push past him if  he didn't block the entire escalator. To this he replies basically:

1. You can wait behind me (yea cool, everyone has to adapt to your pace I guess and if you want to stop everyone has to?)
2. You have a very bad upbringing (excuse me?)

I replug my inears and leave. I cannot take talking to that guy and since I've got nothing nice to say, I decide to shut up.

I  don't think I did anything wrong - after all, if you're going to block a  pathway for everyone else, you gotta expect people to push past you,  no? I still said sorry because even though it was entirely unknowing, I  had no intention of putting a child in harms way and can understand that  parents go into "I don't care if ITA, that's my child!"-mode.

I  mean am I wrong to think that what I want is people to be considerate  of each other and what he wants is people to adjust to him? Is my  perception here warped? (this is probably the most important question  here)

3000  characters is the most stingy restriction ever. How do you even write a  short story of what happened with this without leaving every second  detail out?
