I am home with my 4-day old DS and noticed out of the window, across the street a neighbour sat on her doorstep, looking at her mobile.
I don't know her really, but picked up my DS and went over, asked her if she was locked out and if she wanted to wait in my house. She said no as her OH was on his way back and wasn't far. So we had a chat about how easy it is to leave keys in a different handbag after the weekend etc.
I am wearing, shall we call them 'comfy BF clothes' and my hair is swiped up in a pony-tail so I didn't want to hang about and I thought she may be embarrassed to be locked out. So, I just said 'well as long as you're alright. If he is held up or it starts to rain (it looked likely), just give me a knock, you're welcome to wait in my house'. And she just said 'OK'. So I said to my DS, 'Let's get you back in the house then', and walked quickly home.
She did not say thanks for offer, for thinking of her when I am clearly busy, or ask after my DS, not even his name.
Embarrassed or rude?
