Arrogant Posh Middle-aged Lady
I was walking through London on my way to London Zoo. I was happily minding my own business when a bus pulled up alongside me. Arrogant Posh Middle-aged Lady stepped off the bus without looking left to see if anyone was coming and then turned left and proceeded to walk straight into me. Because her head was turned in the opposite direction to her destination it came as a surprise. I did everything I could to get out of her path in time but she still collided with me.

Instead of saying 'terribly sorry' etc etc which is what I did, she cut me short by loudly exclaiming 'OH - JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY!'

I think we have all met Arrogant Posh Middle-aged Lady in some shape or form...

Not posh nor middle-aged but certainly Arrogant!
I work in Cambridge, there are a lot of tourists and foreign students who don't know exactly or at all where they are going. You have to accept this fact and prepare yourself to avoid them or to be helpful.

I saw a young woman walking along effing and blinding about getting out of the way with her elbow outwards pushing the 'City's Visitors' off the pavement and into the traffic.

Please come again!

Posh in Debenhams?
It goes BHS - Debenhams - John Lewis - darling little boutiques.

There's probably Primark at the bottom these days for the underclass.

Debenhams must just be posh up North then

They're certainly few and far between.
The only branches round my way are in Leeds and Sheffield (respectively 15 and 40 miles away).

Met her just last night!
Standing last in the queue for the village bus. When it hove into view, she stuck out her hand and seemed offended that the driver stopped at the other end of the queue - by the people that had been waiting longest! She berated the driver saying 'Didn't you see I had my hand out'? To which he replied with a grin 'Yeah, but I thought I'd stop at the front of the queue, not the back'.
All she did on the ride to the village was tut and grumble under her breath.

You didn’t get her card did you. She sounds like my kind of Lady.

You probably wouldn't...
Looked like her head had been set alight and someone put her face out with a spade.

She wasn't that posh
if she was getting off a bus.

I've met that type a couple of times
A sloaney young student in large designer sunglasses (in winter of course) once did the exact same thing to me. Perhaps she's the daughter of your arrogant posh middle-aged lady.

Another time, I was on a bus when a middle-aged lady came on, dragging her toddler son with her. He threw himself onto the floor and had a tantrum as toddlers do, blocking the door for other passengers. She didn't try to move him out of their way (although she's had no problems moving him earler), just hit him and swore at him, which only seemed to make his tantrum worse.
An old lady who wanted to get off the bus said, "I'd like to get off please, perhaps you could try moving him instead of hitting him."
The middle-aged lady went crazy and started shouting, "Don't you know I'm a respectable middle-class person, how dare you tell me how to raise my children, nobody can tell me what to do (etc etc)" in a very obviously-put-on posh voice that she hadn't had before, before pushing the old lady off the bus.
