Mum screaming F you at another car outside nursery

I was just picking up my child when I saw another mum exit the nursery with her child.

They were going to a car parked on the road and there was an altercation with another car. The mum was putting her child into her seat and a woman in a car that was passing them, started shouting at the mum for putting her child in her seat in the road.

The mum then proceeded to shout 'F You ' twice to the lady, who then drove off. The mum then looked and me and said sorry and drove off.

AIBU to think this is totally unacceptable outside of a nursery ? Thankfully my child didn't hear, but her child did !

It’s got nothing to do with the nursery. Sounds like two stressed people having a bad day.

And what do you think they’ll do? None of their business.

I guess that was meant for OP and not me

I think I might complain to the nursery. This is just not ok.

What’s it got to do with the nursery? What do you expect them to do?

Not a good idea to have the door to the road open. Better to park so putting the child in the car is on the pavement side, or scramble across.

But, altercations outside a nursery or other educational establishment are never a good thing.

What about when you have two children?

People lose their temper 🤷‍♀️ not saying it’s right but nothing truly bad actually happened

You do you. Maybe not the best example to set her kids but no doubt she swears at home anyway. You say yours didn't hear so no harm done.
