AIBU or is this incredibly MANKY.

[GruffaloAteMySocks]

So I'm browsing in a clothes shop, DD spits her dummy out and it falls onto the floor and before I can grab it some random old woman picks it up, WIPES IT ON HER JACKET and goes, 'Here you go, lovely!' and sticks it straight back into her mouth!

Did she think wiping it on her manky stained fleecy cat-hair covered jacket was going to magically clean the germs off of it?

PFB or majorly BOAK?

Wtf that is disgusting!!

YANBU if a baby drops dummy near me and mum hasn't seen, I pick it up and hand it to her to deal with not just plonk it back in child's mouth, I know that's what I'd prefer so I do that

Oh dear I didn't mend to offend you, dearie even though I'm a scouser

How old is baby?

She's 11 weeks going on 12.

ooh...germs...the poor bairn can't be exposed to germs can it?

At 11 weeks YANBU. DD still has hers at 2 and now she can rub it on goats and I couldn't care less.

MansView My DD is not an 'it'.

I love the word manky, haven't heard it for ages.

Hamburger.

Ignore mansview, it's a knob.

That hamburger is supposed to say yanbu btw

Ew yanbu. Why would she wipe it on her jacket? yuck

That's an amazing auto-correct lol.

I know, how the hell did it turn to hamburger?

hamburger!! pmsl

yanbu at 11 weeks . .

re: - My DD is not an 'it'.

sorry - i meant no disrespect, I didn't know the gender, I'm still getting used to the acronyms on here... :)

but going back to my point - back in the 70s we were exposed too all manner of outdoor 'germs' and activities, just seems that today's kids are wrapped up in cotton wool too much... :(

Actually yanbu whatever age - its not up to a stranger to put something in your childs mouth, she should have handed it back to you.

Gosh, I really want a hamburger now!

Yanbu!

Pmsl at auto correct of yanbu to hamburger!
Plus I read her age as 11 going on12, not months. Now that would be pfb!

Oh god, can you imagine an 12 year old with a dummy? There was a trend in my school when I was around 15 to walk around with a dummy in your mouth, looked ridiculous!

I wouldn't care if the baby was 11 months, but 11 weeks think it is understandable to be a bit wtf about this,

Woman probably mean to to be helpful but it would have been better to give it to you first for a quick wipe.

Incredibly manky, makes me feel sick just thinking about it

Mans view- back in the 70's people did a lot of things that people would be about now.
Just because it happened then doesn't mean its right.

Op YANBU

God yes I remember that with the teenagers with dummies. Would have been mid 90s. I had one. Wasn't it a rave culture thing?
