Frustrated at the Supermarket

I bought some of my favorite noodles because I've ran out of them. But when I went to the cashier, waiting for my turn, an old woman suddenly cuts in with her groceries.
I look at back at the lady behind me and she didn't react. At this moment I was so tired and I just snapped. When it was my turn, I place the canned sardines as loud and hard as possible. The idiot even commented I was angry, of course, who wouldn't be? you were cutting in line.
There's a senior citizen lane and that wasn't necessary. After that I just went home mad and guilty for reacting that way.
I don't know if she was there the whole time or she was with the customer before me. I felt bad about it though because I didn't know if she was with her or not.
There are other customers that uses other family members or maids to catch up on other groceries while they checking their items out. Very bad habit, making the people in line wait 
What do you think? I felt so terrible..At my age I can't afford to be that angry. Sometimes I'm thinking if I had anger issues that's started to surface recently.

Hello @ida123 That was the plan, but somehow the music I was listening made me go berserk. Perhaps I should prevent myself from listening to any music when ever I'm out of the house unless it's a calm and peaceful song.

@ida123 the songs were a bit of eurodance kind, which was tense

Normally you would not react this way I take it Letran. But maybe some other issues had bothered you and you could not help it at the time.
Everyone gets angry at times..do not beat yourself up about it.
Probably no one else is even remembering it now.

It may something to do with the music I was listening to, it makes me hyperactive. but somehow it affected me when something unforeseen happened, like that one. I usually listen to that kind of music when ever i just exercise @TiarasOceanView

But she didn't. that got me snapped @youless and the cashier girl reacted nothing as if she's still a robot checking out groceries and say thanks as if it was nothing. maybe it was right to react that way but i should have asked and complain if she did cut the line

I would be angry also. But she may not notice she cut in line. If she did, and didn't react, I would be more upset and I do say something. Unless I am in a good mood and I'll let it slide. UNLESS she had a lot of groceries I would mention something.

@Letranknight2015 I would be upset at that moment as well. There are some who just cut. Even if she was with the person, she paid separately though!

Hello @infatuatedbby She didn't have much, but I just couldn't believe she would do that even though there's two of us here waiting in line. maybe she was with the previous customer i don't know. I was just upset that moment.

maybe she wasn't aware of the senior citizen lane, or she thought all lanes are senior citizen lanes.

@Letranknight2015 that's part of our nature. we always try to understand and be patient with older people.

Hello @hereandthere well, it was a sad I had to act that what ever reason she has and you never know if she was just catching up with the other groceries, but that's not right too. they should have shop all of it and check it all out together.

They should had asked your permission to pass, or tell you that her groceries were part of the groceries of the customer before you. Some people could be so rude. You should talk instead of banging your grocery.

Hello @acelawrites there's a huge sign that says senior citizen lane. well, I don't know what came over me, those idiots from the cashier didn't even bother explaining, i guess they were pretty scared for what I did. I just didn't have time to talk to that woman.
