Called Unsociable 10 year old a fat c*nt

I think the questions were rhetorical and intrinsically critical.

I'm guessing the OP looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.

(Now I've said that, dredging the phrase up from my deep past, I'm not entirely confidant that means what I want it to)

The answer to that is no. It’s very obvious from the initial post and updates @Herefortea2 didn’t let the Dad know.

I bet the dad didn’t believe his son because his son his a little lying shit generally.

That boy needs a proper wake up call or he’s going to get a lot worse in the future when he tries to intimidate the wrong person. He’ll likely end up in prison too.

OP, don’t worry about it, he sounds like a complete twat who needs some real discipline. You snapped, he deserved it.

Dad said 'no she didn't' then the kid goes off at the dad for taking a strangers side.

I'm not excusing bad behaviour at all and would have just used different words to correct it as per my PP.

But did you tell the dad you had called him a fat cunt? As per his description of dad taking your side?

Did you let that boy know that you had said it and reasons why? And not make him out to be a liar in front of his dad?

Then of course explain the problem with his very bad behaviour? To both him and his dad.

This is hilarious! I have muttered similar under my breath many times recently. The kid clearly was a little cunt. I’m baffled by the number of posts suggesting that he’s some sort of angel who cannot possibly be responsible for his actions or that he must have a medical condition. People like this are the reason why there are so many disgustingly behaved children these days. For those making excuses, at what age do you think people start becoming responsible for their actions? Do you believe that there was once a point in time when the likes of Ian Brady and Fred West were angelic children and that they suddenly woke up on their 18th birthdays to find that they had become evil cunts? Surely it’s more likely that they were always cunts?
Making excuses for kids who behave like this does them absolutely no favours!

This made me laugh honestly. Not ideal but I don't blame you at all.

I miss the laughing emoji.. 😅

Some kids are arseholes. Unfortunately you can’t really go around calling 10 years olds fat c**ts. As annoying as they are.

youd have been well with in your rights to get security to remove him from the shop if he was riding a scooter in the shop or told him to get lost and reported his behaviour to his parent if it was in the car park. But you needed to act like the adult in this situation and not stoop to his level.

Oh this really did make me laugh! Yes, you were wrong but sometimes you just know, a little sh* will just grow up to be an even bigger sh*. Don't lose sleep over it.

OPs third post - she claims it was in the car park only, not the shop.

Read the OP again - it was inside the shop too.

I did make it clear l thought OP was wrong to do what she did, but that doesn’t excuse the shitty behaviour of the child, or the parent who clearly can’t provide the discipline needed to stop it.

Think they’re currently offering buy one ticket, get one free. I’ll join you! 🤣

This is always my 'go to' solution for kids on scooters in shops.
Can I book a seat on the express straight to hell?

Ole

If a village had raised this kid there's a possibility he may not have turned out to be a badly behaved fat cunt.

Need to get checked out op

There’s nothing wrong at all with not putting up with it.

But there are ways and ways of doing things.

Exactly. He’s learned an important lesson that not every woman that you terrorise for funsies is going to meekly stand by and let you do it.

The reaching going on to defend this little scrote is unbelievable. Yes, some kids behave badly because of their life experiences, some are just little shits and a product of piss poor parenting- as this one obviously was.

Oh come on, this kid is already doing that, he knows how to do it and he's been doing it, he clearly had zero respect for OP or indeed anyone to behave towards her and others in that manner to start with.

He's already a person in society behaving that way. He's not going to be, he already is, and that's got nothing to do with OP. She was just there when he did it this time.

It's not up to OP or anyone doing their shopping or the staff of M&S to be responsible for the issues in society and fix them while the perpetrators and parents if they're a minor, carry on regardless, but demand they're tolerated.

OP is not responsible for him growing up to rob a bank, or mug old ladies or abuse a partner he might have. He is, and at the moment his parents are responsible for his behaviour.

If he's learned anything, which I doubt, it's that if you open the door to treating other people badly just because you can, other people can walk through it and do exactly the same and you will be on the recieving end.

And likely hasn’t had the role models to help him behave differently.

Children become the adults in their world.

Yes of course we find children annoying at times, especially when we are tired, and yes it’s funny up to a point to imagine doing these things. But actually doing them is a whole other step.

I’m kind of hoping some of the posts on this thread are actually empty boasts of what they felt like doing but never would have stooped to in reality.

Well it was sort of funny when Ricky Gervais did it in afterlife. But that's because it's wasn't real life. It was an act. But you can't go round actually calling kids fat or cunts.

Generally, when kids behave like cunts, it's because they have already endured more than their fair share of adverse experiences in their lives, and what they really need is someone to use firm, fair, kind boundaries.

A security guard having a quiet word in a firm way would have been far more appropriate

The more you tell a kid they're a cunt, the more likely they are to become one as adults. You have sadly, just added another unhelpful message to this kids life experience. Lest hope one day he meets a kind adult that is able to make a positive difference in his life.

Who knows, maybe the man that was with him is a foster parent that's trying to help him, or a residential care worker, or maybe it's his real dad and he's trying to help him overcome some trauma.

We never know what's going on in other people lives. But with kids behaving like this, it's safe to assume that they haven't had it easy for much of their life so far...

From OPs description this fat little cunt is already the type of kid to do this to a future partner - I mean, it did it to OP didn’t it?

No sympathy for it, it will learn one way or another.

They do.

And he will probably retailiate when he’s in a relationship and call his partner a “fat bitch” because he’s frustrated then gaslight her about the fact he never said it when she reports his treatment.

No one thinks that’s funny so why is it funny when it’s a child ?
