should i have given a piece of my mind to fat cow who swore at my 6 yr old for treading on her toe on the metro?

[vanessasmum]

I boil up quite slowly... but would it have been worse to tell her what a cow she was?

are you the woman who wants to get a co-op worker fired by any chance ?

It's all a bit moot, really. Presumably, you didn't.

what has her size got to do with anything?

Would what have been worse? What did she say?

i never said i wanted her fired, which i don't. but it is interesting that you bring it up,
it isn't entirely irrelevant, is it?

i don't think i should have stood there and not responded when she was abusive toward my kid... what does that tell her, that i won't stand up for her?. but equally i think it would not have been good for her if i had to a row with the woman... where is the balance?

MN has all gone wrong

Oh how funny. It's nice people are trying to emulate me. I'm so flattered.

good point booy, i take that back.

she said " I've only got one good leg! Jesus Christ!" the metro was quite crowded, and we has a lot of bags, and she was standing in the luggage area. I was quite shocked.

op this why you must learn to drive, keep out of all these public transport misdamenas

bluddy mo fo yes that is what i did. i was far more bothered by it than she was.

0/10

And the swearing bit?

my kid, i mean, she said sorry in just the right tone of apologetic and shocked. i was very proud of her

it doesn't sound abusive to me. sorry but i think calling her a fat cow for that is a massive over reaction.

usual suspect Have a tequila with a mescal worm in the bottom. I find that does the trick on the odd occasion.

I would rather be called Jesus Christ than a fat cow.

x post you are not the other op.

also jesus christ is not swearing. is it? probably not the language I would want a 6 yr old to hear granted but not enough to then call her a cow in front of a 6 yr old. double standards

you were proud of your child for apologising in teh right tone?

erm, we are supposed to apologise when we hurt people, it isn't above and beyond teh call of duty. nothing to be proud of.

x post again, grr you lot are quick tonight.

This place is going to the dogs. The fat racist dogs, apparently.

"i never said i wanted her fired, which i don't. but it is interesting that you bring it up,
it isn't entirely irrelevant, is it?"

please, PLEASE explain how it is relevant? please?

don't you think the swearing is in the venomous tone of voice? I avoid jesus as an offensive term,,,, quite like him really,
