Our local park has two lanes: one normal and one cycle (though even on the cycle lane, there's a sign saying cycles are meant to make way for pedestrians).
At home time, the the normal lane is always full of groups of secondary school kids walking about 10 abreast. Which doesn't bother me - to make my way round them with my pram, I just move in and out of the 'cycle' lane.
Then suddenly two kids on microscooters came careering down the hill in the cycle lane, and ended up in the bushes when they tried to get around me without stopping.
Their Dad came storming towards me, shouting "because you were in the cycle lane, my kids have just had an accident". After he went past, I swore under my breath briefly, thinking no one could see, but it turned out his wife walking along behind him separately. Then she started shouting "You've just injured my kids love, but whatever!"
I didn't say anything as am not used to being shouted at like that. AIBU to think it's still a path and kids need to take care?! I think as I have a new baby and it's my first time pushing a pram around, I feel a bit sensitive and am making too big a deal!

AIBU?
To think it wasn't my fault someone's kids fell off their microscooters?!
