I always take my little lamb for a walk in the bugaboo about 11 as it gets her to sleep and gets some exercise for me to help get rid of my bubbaflubba!

we live near a park on a hil and quiet often I'll stop and have a sit down on a bench to admire the view while she sleeps.

yesterday I had taken a coffee and some home made florentines (naughty I know lol) and was enjoying a peaceful moment wgeb rhe traffic starts building up. as I was sitting there gently rocking the pram a van slowly comes through the traffic with music blaring out. Angry

I was highly visible sitting their, minding my own business, I think he should have turned it down out of respect of me and my lo, it took ages for him to pass as he was stuck in a jam.

grrr.

His van was all labelled up with a local firms details(one that I frequent a lot!).

WIBU to phone them to remind him to have consideration for the general public, especially those with prams?

nobody wants to have somebody elses choice of music hoisted upon them do they?

GypsyMoth · 20/09/2011 12:08

Why did you have a lamb in the pram?

worraliberty · 20/09/2011 12:08

Please tell me you're joking?

winnybella · 20/09/2011 12:08

Ha ha ha Grin

You're joking, right?

ColdSancerre · 20/09/2011 12:08

Well you can't expect a lamb to walk ILoveTiffany, they only have little legs.

Is this a serious thread? Surely not.

Byeckerslike · 20/09/2011 12:09

What coldsancerre said :)

TandB · 20/09/2011 12:09

Nice try, OP. If you hadn't used the words "little lamb" and "flubbabubba" in the first paragraph you might have got away with it.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/09/2011 12:09

Lamb? Bubbaflubber ? Van in traffic, spoiling your special time... Really, OP? Confused

You're being ridiculous and your post made me cringe.

meravigliosa · 20/09/2011 12:09

bugaboo? florentines? Hehehe

TheReturnoftheSmartArse · 20/09/2011 12:09

This has cheered me up no end. Grin

Wouldn't mind one of your home made Florentines, if you've any left??

smartyparts · 20/09/2011 12:10

Very good Grin

Huffythetantrumslayer · 20/09/2011 12:10

Yabu in the same way I was unreasonable when ds was a baby and someone would walk past talking too loudly and wake him from his nap in the pram! How very dare they? Grin I hated it but I would have been very unreasonable to tell them to shut the fuck up, which is what I wanted to do.

ZacharyQuack · 20/09/2011 12:10

OP, I think you'll find that you're never more invisible than you are when you are pushing a pram.

ColdSancerre · 20/09/2011 12:10

bubbaflubba - am laughing and vomiting at the same time.

OTheHugeRaveningWolef · 20/09/2011 12:11

Hubba hubba! Bubbaflubba!

Huffythetantrumslayer · 20/09/2011 12:11

Fgs why do I take so long to type? I miss all the fun!

mumblechum1 · 20/09/2011 12:11

Good one. Was you wearing your shell suit at the time?

harrietlichman · 20/09/2011 12:12

Bubbaflubber! Love it! Good one, OP, but you over-egged your florentine- flavoured pudding a little.

ShirelyKnottage · 20/09/2011 12:12

YANBU.

Angry

In fact once I'd reported the van driver I would report the company itself to the Police. There are laws against noise pollution and people like this make sick. LOL

ObviouslyOblivious · 20/09/2011 12:13

What's the best music to eat Florentines to? The Libertines?
