Just checking the boundaries, really. Seems some swearing at strangers is acceptable and some is not. Please advise.

Not of she's on benefits or has a blue badge

CogitoErgoSometimes · 24/03/2012 18:19

YANBU... the cheek of the woman.

StripyMagicDragon · 24/03/2012 18:20

Yabu. You should have punched the bitch. Cheeky cow, can't she afford her own watch?

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 24/03/2012 18:20

I think you'd need to check if she was really blind by holding up a sign that says FUCK OFF and see what her reaction is.
I'll leave the rest up to you.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 24/03/2012 18:21

It's the sense of entitlement and the forcing of religion down my throat that'd anger me.

I do hope you gave her what for, op.

MyLittleMiracle · 24/03/2012 18:21

I mean anyway, what is a nun doing out of the nunnery? I dont know honestly! So YANBU, unless of course you said "for gods sake" then you Are BU

LaurieFairyCake · 24/03/2012 18:22

Not if she's a cunt obviously (this is Mumsnet) Grin

lesley33 · 24/03/2012 18:22

Ask her if she is claiming benefits first? If she is then she is a lazy sod, if not then swear at her anyway for wasting your time.....doesn't she realise you are a very busy person.

Would depend if she asked your toddler to be quiet. Also, is your DP there so back you up? Swearing at strangers is so much better when you have a DP to wade in and defend you.

Salmotrutta · 24/03/2012 18:41

What would a nun need to know the time for anyway?

She should be praying and working- not gadding about getting on people's nerves and feeling entitled to know the time!

I'm shocked TBH.

lesley33 · 24/03/2012 18:44

You know in our day people couldn't afford watches! They just managed to tell the time by looking at the sun and stars. If you don't have a watch, then you should just do this. People these days don't know they are born.

I bet she had taken up the space, meant for prams on the bus to get there, as well and don't get me started on her using the lifts in the shops, or taking more than two seconds to get her money out to pay for stuff.

In fact she probaly dares to smile in the direction of babies and children.

Swear away!

troisgarcons · 24/03/2012 19:04

What sort of nun?

I feel a joke about Blue Nun coming through ....

DoomCatsofCognitiveDissonance · 24/03/2012 19:06

I bet she wasn't even properly blind. Those wimples they wear - just an excuse to pretend they can't see, isn't it?

And don't get me started on the booze they enjoy every Sunday.

lesley33 · 24/03/2012 19:06

Or a hun nun

Honeydragon · 24/03/2012 19:08

Don't you fucking hugz round these parts Missy!

lesley33 · 24/03/2012 19:11

Fuck off Honey! Just because I haven't got a dog for you to flambee!

Maryz makes a good point. Was she with someone else? Because if she was blind and in a wheelchair she really shouldn't have been out alone. Maybe the person looking after had buggered off for a skive. It should have bdeen their job to tell her the time.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 24/03/2012 20:10

Given the low living costs of yer average nun, I hope to goodness she isn't claiming DLA.

Or that her carer didn't use a blue badge to abuse a P&T space. I mean, I bet her carer can walk Angry

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 24/03/2012 20:12

Was the bitch OLD?!?!

NeshBugger · 24/03/2012 20:25

Was she a German Sister with a criminal record?
