Disproportionate anger at x factor party

35 replies

25kilopumpkin · 20/10/2011 23:10

Have 4, 2, and 14 week old, so was going to complain politely to students just moved in next door about their x factor party noise on Sat. Door opened by thin, pretty 19yr old girl in HOTPANTS and Hawaian flower garland thing. I was far harsher than necessary as a result AIBU?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 20/10/2011 23:22

So you were harsher than is your norm because she was more attractive than you?

Wow.

Toobluntforboss · 20/10/2011 23:23

YABU

ChaosTrulyReigns · 20/10/2011 23:23

25, please just put it down to hormones and just ask politely next time it happens.

Smile

Or send your DP.

JeremyVile · 20/10/2011 23:24

I love garlands!

worraliberty · 20/10/2011 23:24

Yeah send your DP and time him! Grin

HighHeidYin · 20/10/2011 23:25

Were you simply jealous at the 19yo being able to get away with wearing hotpants and a garland and probably stilll looking great?

Then YANBU. I would be jealous too.

If you were annoyed that it was 3am and the party was keeping you and the children awake then YANBU.

Otherwise, YABU. And I didn't quite understand why you were complaining so YABU for the lack of explanation too.

So there.

Look, we've all been there, when we are desperate to have peace and quiet and a break from our glamorous lives and then we are confronted with some young thang who reminds us just how exciting our lives are, and we overreact. Next time you see her just smile and shrug and one day, if she has children, she will do it to someone else ;)

worraliberty · 20/10/2011 23:26

Yeah but there's a difference between being jealous and being harsher because you're jealous.

JeremyVile · 20/10/2011 23:26

I love disproportionate anger!

JeremyVile · 20/10/2011 23:27

2kids - I haven't been there. Should I be worried?

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 20/10/2011 23:29

Agree with Worra, you should always be harsher when you're jealous.

Grin

Young miss hawaiian shorty knickers has learned a valuable life lesson there.

HighHeidYin · 20/10/2011 23:30

I am suffering from disproportionate boredom

I need some hotpants and a garland or 3

Boredom reliever?

worraliberty · 20/10/2011 23:40

Just praying the neighbours will have reason to knock and complain

squeakyfreakytoy · 20/10/2011 23:42

worraliberty · 20/10/2011 23:44
