Teenager at cinema

But the two things are not mutually exclusive. Come on. You know this. You can know you’re technically wrong about a minor infraction and still be a bit WTF if a child reprimands you.

Well, you can call it what you will. If I’m defending, what are you doing?

I interpreted it as ‘I know the girl was technically right but AIBU to be taken aback/a bit WTF?’

Ah ok

Because within minutes the OP had said at least twice that she knew technically she was in the wrong

Whilst at the same time saying she thought they had more front than Brighton so must have still thought she was being reasonable to some extent/ put out that somebody had rightly pulled her up on it.

'Bullies'? Oh please. If you think that people who are pulling the OP up on her nonsense are bullying her, you've clearly led a rather sheltered life.

Because within minutes the OP had said at least twice that she knew technically she was in the wrong. So it was pretty easy to see where she was coming from.

It’s interesting @MsLuxLisbon that you say I’m obsessed with defending the OP. It’s true I’ve come back to this thread several times this evening. But then so have you. It makes more sense, surely, to doggedly defend someone who is being attacked than to do what you’re doing - which is to keep attacking someone who’s already had a good kicking? You can desist - OP is already down!

And I’m not delicate at all, really. Thanks for the concern though @GoodAfternoonGoodEveningAndGoodnight I do get rather invested when I see a pile on though. I think it needs challenging every time.

Why am I still here? I don’t want the bullies to feel they’ve won. Why are you still here? 🤔

Also, not accurate in terms of what OP actually asked

What was the AIBU? then if it wasn't AIBU to have looked at my phone in the cinema?

Was it "was the person who told me to put it away unreasonable to do so?
(As no, they weren't)

Why are you so obsessed with defending the OP? It is bizarre.

It’s amazing the lengths some AIBU types will go to in order to defend their nastiness
Oh give over 😂
Nastiness. You sound far too delicate for AIBU

Op posted in AIBU. In lieu of her actually asking a question (which she didn't, unless you class "I know the rules but it was a quick glance and I'm a grown adult!!?" as a question purely because it posseses a question mark) it's reasonable to assume the question is 'AIBU?'.

Yeah. That’s a lot of words to say ‘I love giving an OP a good kicking.’

You’re like a dog with a fucking bone

😂
FFS this thread is bonkers.

Summary so far

OP -AIBU?
MN - Yes

OP -Waaahhh!
Ok maybe I am, but that girl had more front than Brighton!

MN - No you're coming across as the one with more front than Brighton to be phone checking and pissing others off in there.

OP -
Wahhhh!

Near enough only other poster on thread agreeing with OP-
OMG, you're all just big meanies, this is a pile on!
Why can't one person say YABU and then stop 🛑
End of thread, nobody else disagree!
😂

I guess we just read the situation differently.

What I see:

OP definitely admitted she was technically wrong but was interested to hear if people would have been similarly taken aback by this slightly unexpected telling off. What she got was a rather unnecessary stream of people basically high-fiving the girl and telling OP she sucked.

Posters like yourself just won’t stop; any attempt from OP, me or others to say “Yeah, but come on, let’s put this in perspective” are smacked back down for daring not to toe the line that OP is WRONG and BAD.

Of course OP is going to stick up for herself to some extent. You’re like a dog with a fucking bone.

It is the OP that can't let it go, it would seem. She doesn't seem to want to accept that the girl did nothing wrong in correcting her.

😂🙄

I don’t know if I’d be proud of the fact that I’d missed “multiple buzzes” (despite being aware of them) as if felt/heard that then I’d know something was wrong.

Yes, and a very important point it is too! (Well, it must be - you keep on making it 🤷‍♀️)

Feel better now, chuck?

Well, the point is that I and others think that it is the OP who had 'more front than Brighton'. HTH.

I'm a bit surprised that op had no say over the timing of the phone call. Every time I've had a medic call, it has been done by arrangement - sure, it's usually either morning or afternoon (and not a specific time), but the day has always been negotiable.

I know she was right but I still think she had more front than Brighton!

I’m happy for people to tell me she was right because she was.

Both quotes from OP at the start of the thread. HTH.

And you are boring everyone else! Let. it. go.

I take it you have heard the expression 'doubling down'? Well you are doing that, but more so, as you refuse to countenance the very idea that you could be wrong. Why did you bother posting on AIBU if you were so sure you were right?

But what’s the point? What are we on now - page 6? And here you are, reminding OP that you think she’s a dick. If you check, she said the girl was right at least twice in the first page or so.

I’m not new to AIBU, no. Quite often there are interesting discussions and lively debates. And then there’s this sort of thing, where posters repeat the same phrase over and over, just hammering home the point and rubbing their hands with glee. See how many times ‘good on her’ and ‘good for her’ cropped up in the beginning. What’s the point?
