to tell an elderly gent to f*ck off

[Helenfellows33]

i was on a family day out on a steam train and on the way home an infirm old man got on with his carer. she left shortly after and he was on his own in his wheelchair with me and my dh and dc's. this journey was about an hour long and ds being cranky started to cry. and the old man turned to him and shouted at him to be quiet boy. at this i told him to shut the fuck up and a list of words i cant mention here. dh backed me up although i was telling a friend later she said he was ok too this as he was old, we are now not speaking cause of this. AIBU for doing that to an elderly person.

:) donkey - brilliant

Maybe it was

"Shut the fuck up hun, my gawjuss man backs me and I know my bub better than you lol. You old git"

Your behaviour is a perfect example why I detest travelling on public transport. I've heard verbal abuse thrown back at people when they have made polite requests to other passengers.

What a disgusting way to behave especially in front of children.

You show no respect for others.

Its 11:15 and I'm not dressed

Must...........leave.............thread.................

Might I predict a post later today from the Big Man himself telling us off for being harridans and bullies andmaking his woman cry.

Pots and kettles.

OP did you say a list of words to the old man that can't be reoeated on MN?

Look, I've been in the bath since I found this thread. I'm cold, pruney, have a list of chores as long as your nose, and I am desperate for a pee.

Please just admit you behaved like the worst JK trash, so I can get out. :(

PS what are your teeth like, and have you ever washed in the Thames?

what hope is there for kids who get this kind of foulness modeled to them by their own parents? they have so little chance of being able to succeed in school - even the basic concepts of being polite, not swearing or shouting at people, being respectful, controlling your emotions etc are a totally alien concept to them when they're raised by people like this.

Damn, I have to go out. I was so enjoying this :)

The baby's awake now :( must tend to him

unless.....unless...would reading him this thread doing funny voices and censoring the swearing count as entertaining him

He said "Be quite, boy". it's in the OP's OP.

er... the words were "be quiet boy"....

Or do you mean what did he moan after the OP's outburst?

Would it be acceptable to pee in the disused bidet that will be slung out soon? And then get back in the bath. Or do I have to get out now?

Be quiet boy! (think John Noakes telling Shep to "get down".

Criminal.

I've been and got the marigolds but the computer is halfway between the bathroom and the kitchen.

Ok, heres how you should have acted.

Old man : 'be quiet boy'
You : Either (a) ignore him. (b). Firmly say your comments are not helpful, we are trying our best we don't particularly enjoy hearing our ds crying either. Thank you.

What did the man say?

Why are you ignoring this question?

Is it because he said " be quiet boy" and you said he threatened him

As someone said expect to be well acquainted with the head of your children's school in future. With a parent like you he has no chance.
