Called a woman an "evil bitch!"

[SquiggleSplat]

Posted this in "other subjects" but didn't get a response in 4 minutes and I'm feeling impatient!

I was coming out of a car park earlier today and there was car in the lane next to mine. A woman was driving and a small child (2/3ish) was climbing about inside the car and not strapped in. I hate it when you see that as it's so stupid and irresponsible! A child around here died not that long ago in a similar situation. So anyway being a big mouth this happened . . . I honked my horn to get her attention and said -

me: strap your child in, that's dangerous and illegal
her: oh SHUT UP!
me: you EVIL BITCH! (top of my lungs! )

Now I know some won't agree with the language but, well, I don't care about that. As far as I am concerned she is an evil bitch so why shouldn't I tell her I think so! One emergency stop and that child would either go though the windscreen or hit the dashboard (as the other child did) and break her neck

Being called a bitch was getting off lightly when she came very closs to being beaten to death with my flip flop!!!

Both bad.

Well - I'd say that driving around, messing round with a phone, with your toddler unrestrained in the car was worse. And whilst I do agree that calling her an evil bitch was a big overreaction, and not a good idea, and liable to get her thumped, I can understand the OP being utterly gobsmacked at the woman's response to being told her child was unrestrained (and that this was dangerous and illegal), and saying something illadvised in the heat of the moment.

I honestly can't imagine that anyone on this thread would have listened to the woman's response and not, at least, driven away absolutely furious at such a negligent attitude.
