Namechanged cos I've already had a good old bitch on FB.
Myself and a friend were sitting in the garden in the sunshine this afternoon, and our kids were playing in a paddling pool and chasing each other with a wee watering can and a water pistol. They're 2 and 3 and were having great fun.
The garden faces directly onto a road, and suddenly a passing car slammed on its brakes, reversed really fast (almost hitting another car at a junction) and stopped at the fence, so thinking it must be someone needing directions I went up to it and asked if I could help.
The bloke shouted at me that the kids had got water on his car. I hadn't noticed the drips on the rear window until this point. I said "I apologise but they're only little and it was an accident." He said "You should have been taking better care of them then". So I asked him if the water had actually gone in the car (his sunroof was open) and he said "No, it's just as well it didn't ..." so I walked off and he left.
I didn't even see what happened but there was a tiny splash of water on one of the back windows of his car, which he must have heard or noticed in his mirror as he was driving past. It seems like a crazy overreaction to me and I was furious that he suggested I wasn't looking after my child adequately. If they'd been deliberately spraying water at passers by then I'd have put a stop to it immediately, of course, but there's no way it could possibly have been intentional and that must have been obvious to him given the layout of our garden in relation to the road, and the size of the children.
So, WIBU?
