I shouted at my neighbour

[LillyBugg]

and I probably shouldn't have.

It was a silly stupid situation where I was crossing the road with my children and didn't see him coming so he had to stop. He kept repeating 'madam don't cross the road there', but he was going too fast, I obviously wouldn't have crossed if I had seen him. He just kept repeating it and then started driving off so I shouted after him not to tell me how to parent.

You know when you say something just out of pure frustration even though it makes no sense?! He then pulled up on a drive on my road. Bloody brilliant. Making friends with the neighbours hey?!

The OP HAS taken responsibility but all of us have the ability to act in a way we shouldn't when scared.

The OP HAS taken responsibility

No she hasn’t. She’s admitted she shouted have shouted but not that she was the one in the wrong.

Ok I was wrong.

I actually just wanted to chat through something that happened to me today because I felt bad about it. But apparently Mumsnet is now the place where as soon as you post you get lots and lots of posters saying the same thing and attacking you over something minor.

I was wrong. Is that enough times now?

I'm out now because I didn't post to ask if I was wrong. I posted to CHAT in the CHAT section but clearly I can't do that. So thanks and goodnight.

That was a good flounce,,,

I regret to say Op, that you have failed your Tufty Club Badge.

Enough times? You’ve only said it twice, and in the same post! Perhaps try saying it to the man you scared half to death and shouted at and the children you endangered.

You’ll both forget about it pretty quickly, it happened and it’s not major so don’t over-stress. He’ll probably take more care, you’ll cross elsewhere and it’ll be ok

That went well.
