Woman smoking outside my two sons school

this morning!
She was surrounded by children and didnt seem to care.
Im not sure if reporting it to the school would help as she was not standing on school grounds. (and she did look too scary to approach!)

Well if all it takes to "reduce you to tears" dear is people have a different opinion to your own your screwed in life!

LadyKatherine · 09/11/2012 14:55

Is this a reverse AIBU by any chance. Since op is 'mumtothreesons' but the thread is about smoking outside her two sons school.

hazeyjane · 09/11/2012 14:56

Blimey, there is something in the air at the moment, everyone is so harsh! I know it's AIBU, but really??!

I did have words with someone who was smoking next to me and ds when we were waiting for the dds, normally i would have just moved, but the ash fell off his fag into ds's pushchair, which I thought was a bit much!

I bet she woz on the rob. I bet that big fat pregnant tummy was just stuffed wiv stolen socks she'd pinched from marks and spencers. The thieving caaaaw.

Welcome to AIBU op Grin

ladykatherine she probably has 2 at school and 1 baby. Simple non ??

fatlazymummy · 09/11/2012 15:11

Nah,she probably had 3 kids by 3 different fathers in her big fat pregnant belly.
When her kids are born she'll probably put coke in their bottles and feed them by remote control.

RyleDup · 09/11/2012 15:24

Wow, feed them by remote control? Now thats a fabulous concept if I ever did hear one. I need something like that in my life. Then I could just lie in bed all the time.

ThickCut · 09/11/2012 15:26

That'll learn you op. When I was new on here I posted in here and got a right old flaming. But I nc dusted myself off and started again. Have you heard of nethuns perchance?

When I used to smoke I smoked everywhere it was legal, that included in the school grounds, then outside. I also used to smoke in the house when my kids were young before all this hoooha came out.

Alcohol is more dangerous than smoking, smoking does not cause violence. Get a grip and remember that smokers subsidise the national health.

Utter nonsense.

SoupDragon · 09/11/2012 15:35

But, from the rest of your post, it doesn't surprise me.

ClippedPhoenix · 09/11/2012 15:41

Grin and goes outside shop for a fag when knowing full well it's kick out time for the school down the road and there will be lots of children walking past.

LadyKatherine · 09/11/2012 15:43

crikeybill, that is possible. It is also possible that she has two sons and is pregnant with the third. Doesn't matter in any event but it still smacks of being a reverse AIBU to me.

GrimAndHumourless · 09/11/2012 15:43

oh dear

OP: AIBU?
MN hive mind: YEP
OP: drivels on a bit, adds embellishment, AIBU now?
MN hive mind: errr, YEP
OP: ferrrr-lounce

Mrsjay · 09/11/2012 15:56

you joking I can never tell Confused I will take it as you are not as far as I know it is still legal to smoke outside and you are being a bit of a twat people smoke she wasn't on school grounds she was doing nothing wrong, smoking is disgusting apart from that you have feck all to complain about

curlypoo · 09/11/2012 16:00

I bet smoking preggers lady eats greggs sausage rolls and puts dairylea lunchables in her children's lunchboxes too.

This thread is ironic no?

Pancakeflipper · 09/11/2012 16:03

OP - go to chat and look at topics relevant to your life. AIBU is a very brave move for a newbie. But don't get upset, hide the topic, forget all about it ( only a few keep s/sheets on who said that when, the rest of us forget) and continue.

Honestly there's a stack of help and hand holding in other areas of the site.
