Took my dd to the park after work today. I was pushing the buggy which was heavily laden with bags etc. DD was walking. I suffering with flu so a bit dazed.
There were two women in the park chatting to each other. Empty handed. A little boy was struggling to get through the gate with his bike but was having trouble. I was only a metre away but with hands full. The women were 5 meters away but empty handed and with no small children in tow. I admit I was closer. I looked at the women to see if they would help him and one of them snapped at me "Come on then; help him" . I know this is totally trivial but I wish I'd said "your the one with the empty hands love" pah. Also it was the way she barked an order at a complete stranger without moving her own lazy butt that irked me.

Gosh she was rude! Strange kind of bullyish behaviour. Got self esteem issues, as in that moment she felt better about herself. IMO what she really said was that she feels shit about herself and needs to shout at strangers in public about something she could do more easily herself.

Pity her.

Rude, rude, rude.

YANBU. Hope you feel better soon.

Blimey no yanbu, how very imperious of her ordering people about.

It wasn't her ds was it? That'd make it worseGrin

Sorry but my automatic response to such utter rudeness would have been "Fuck you; do it yourself you ignorant bitch". I don't take well to being rudely ordered around by strangers though. Wink

Why didn't the boys own grown-up help?

CrabbyBigbottom · 29/02/2012 20:55

Actually I would have moderated that in front of a child, so scrap that. Blush

I know; I was looking at her thinking 'He's your child isn't he?' I didn't know what to say so swore under my breath and let him out. She wasn't going to lift a finger. I was being a bit weak.

Take comfort in the fact that she is a fucking twat!

You'll wake up at 3am with the perfect response to this.

That's always the way I find. I'll silently fume at the time and have a blistering reply prepared 8 hours later. I almost want to track them down the next day and start the whole converation again complete with prepared comeback.

Did she think he belonged to you? was it her child?
