I'm sitting in a pub and we are discussing an AIBU of one of the group.
Here's the scenario:
L is in Greece. There's a park with a pool and terrapins in it. A kid - roughly seven - is throwing rocks at the terrapins. The kid is blond but probably Greek. L is standing next to the kid and, fairly gently, instinctively flicks the kid with the back of her hand and says (in English) 'don't do that'. There was no parent in sight. The kid ran away.
L just didnt think, acted totally on instinct. She feels very guilty about doing this. Should she be beating herself up over it?
