AIBU to think that obese people should be extra careful on moving buses?

[figcake]

I had an obese mum land her entire body weight on my right knee yesterday as the bus we were travelling on jolted forwards - I was already sitting with ds, she had just got on with her husband and toddler. She apologised and even gave my knee a quick pat.

I woke up in pain today. There were plenty of handles to hold onto (it was a very modern bus) and def not overcrowded. I had intended to run many important errands today though I cannot do this anymore as it would be too painful. I am fuming.

Obese + clumsy = do not travel by bus ??

Im slighlty calming down now HullyGully

after her insults last night I latched on like a pitbull (no pun intended)

There we are.

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and feel the soft caress of love's feathery fingers soothing your furrowed brow and drawing forth the negativity.

love's feathery fingers? Urgh. That sounds faintly unappealing.

i'm happy to have my negativity drawn forth though, so I'll go with it, in spite of my cynicism.

I am really, really moved about all the love in the air.
See everybody, it's nice to be nice.
If we all think happy thoughts we can save the world.
Or maybe just mumsnet.
But that would be a start.
Sways along to the New Seekers

It worked! I put my faith in Hully and had my negativity drawn forth. I just coughed up a massive negativity furball. Follow Hully and you too can be saved.

"that's not to say that it does not make me hugely scared for the state of the world"

Sorry.

Peace and love, peace and love!

Let us all hold hands in a circle of love and dance. We are all equal in Love and shall dance and sing with neither beginning nor end (as symbolised by the circle, in case anyone didn't get that bit)

Cheesecloth helps.

Hang on, I think Pag's got some kaftans. I'll see if she'll lend them out....

Orm, we quotheth not the past hurts and petty utterings. We focus on the Now and the Love. Come join the circle and meditate upon the daisies.

Fell, get her cardis as well, it's still a bit nippy.

I think I have some joss-sticks in the loft if that would help?

Here you are. I went round but she wasn't in, so I spoke to her dog and he said I could help myself. I'm having this one and you can choose from the pile.

Any xxl kaftans? And can we take them home?

Daisy chain anyone?

will it fit nicely in my hair, Exit? Then thank you, I will have one - I like to wear flowers in my hair and go looking for gentle people. :)

Pag's not very large. Just cut up the sides a bit. She won't mind, she can buy some more. She's loaded.

'MN does Blackpool'

made me laugh ,sorry

I'll join in with the peace and love, as long as I don't have to sit cross-legged - I'd get nasty flashbacks to school assemblies!

Have you got a kaftan that won't make me look like a flowery bouncy castle?

No.

Flowery bouncy castle is compulsory.

I am Margot so am allowed to be lean and haughty.

hello Pag. Nice dog BTW. We had a good chat. I rummaged through your bedside cabinet while I was there. don't worry about that 'thing'. I won't tell the others.

Hi Pag - apologies for having to take the scissors to the kaftan. I am on the low carb thread as well so hopefully this need will not arise if you are kind enough to loan out your garments again in the future.

Did you mess with my sparkely love baton?

Exit, you look lovely. You cut and sliced that frock like a pro.
