So, you attempted regular social cues to communicate what you wanted, and when that failed you escalated to physical aggression and then got upset that the other person got upset?
Like, not trying to throw you under the bus or anything, you both miscommunicated in that situation but you were the one to escalate. If the other person didn’t know what they were doing wrong, couldn’t you have just told them “I’m so sorry, but I can’t get my cart around yours” when they didn’t get why you couldn’t get past?
It really sounds like you were both tired and didn’t have the grace in that moment for each other, rather than some failing on either of your parts.
If they were tired and unable to communicate (happens to us all mate) they would have been okay with their cart being moved. Getting angry at the cart being moved, after saying it was okay to go, is the tell that this person was not capable of polite reason.
Yes, it is. It’s why they moderated that they did it as “very intentionally, just trying to get through”. Moving someone or their stuff without permission is an act of physical aggression. I’m not saying they punched them or anything, but there were aggressive in a physical manner.

“Physicial agression”, what the fuck have you been smoking? They said they pushed the cart away with their carts. Nothing agressive about that, wtf.

You cannot be serious
Jesus christ you’re a snowflake if you think moving an object constitutes physical aggression.
