To be angry at this woman?

[BornToShopForcedToWork]

Hi,
Was swimming today with the little one and in my leisre centre you have to leave yor buggues upstairs. When I came back a woman just sat her baby into my pushchair, changed the harnesses etc. and tried out my buggy. I was so angry and told her off. I wasn't shouting or anything. The woman on the reception told me not be angry about it and there was nothing wrong with trying somebody's pushchair. Sorry but IMO there is. AIBU?

I'd have been somewhat taken aback too. What a cheek.

YANBU at all. What a cheeky cow! I'd have made a complaint about the receptionist too.

How odd, some people have no boundaries.

Cheek of it! Next doors car looks nice, might go and try and get into that, change his seating position etc, get a good feel for it...

She was probably going to nick it.

TRYING a pushchair? Was she not just trying to steal it and got caught?

I could JUST about allow that it she was struggling and needed somewhere to quickly rest her child to put their shoes on or something and she explained herself, but not trying it out.

Go to mothercare, that's what the display is for.

I'd have been a bit puzzled and mildly annoyed at her cheek, but I wouldn't have told her off unless she'd damaged it in some way. No harm done.

Sounds to me like she was trying it out to steal it, and got caught. I wouldnt have been happy either. YANBU.

How considerate of the receptionist to tell you how to feel about your own pushchair!

I'd have been fucked off with someone pissing about with mine.

What did the woman who was messing about with it say when you told her off?

I was just happy I saw it. Imagine she would have taken my buggy with her? We just got it yesterday, so i am still a bit precious about it.

What a strange woman and weird receptionist too to think that it's ok to do that. Yanbu.

Did you come back as she was putting her child in?

In fact, I would have asked for the manager and told them that you had just caught someone trying to steal your pushchair so he should warn other customers.

I think she was trying to nick it too.

There is an area in the gym close to the reception. She put her child in it and was pushing it around the reception area.

No YANBU i'd say she was trying to steal it though especially as you say it's new.

Mine's over a year old and I'm precious about it because it's mine and I need it.

You must have back up pushchairs or a car to see it as nothing worth getting angry about everlong?

Bloody Cheek - the worst bit to me is the changing of the harnesses! Like someone borrowing your saddle and not putting your stirrups back in the right holes - or when DH uses my car and always moves the steering wheel.

And it was brand new too!

I hope her child was clean. When looking round a house once, we left DDs car seat in the kitchen and the child of the house weed in it

I would have been miffed and I'd assume she was planning to steal it.

I've never heard of this before!

I'm confused. YOu saw her put her child in, adjust the harnesses, and walk around with it?

It's not ok to do this to other people's possessions. She was in the wrong. If you caught someone trying on your coat/shoes you'd object, wouldn't you?

THe only possible way this would be excusable would if it happened in a pushchair shop and she'd made the honest mistake of thinking your new buggy was an actual display model.

If she was trying to nick it surely she'd have put her DC in it and been off?

Bit bizarre to be doing laps round the reception area.

Exit, that's awful! What did the parents say/do?
