I was travelling on an hour long airport coach with my DH and baby DS last night to get back home (we live abroad). There were 2 English men (20&23 - also living abroad and working as teachers) behind us having a loud conversation - they hadn't travelled together but knew each other vaguely, so were swapping a lot of details of their lives.
At first their chat was annoying just because of the volume and the overuse of the adjective "sick" but eventually their conversation turned to women and their sexual conquests. I felt really uncomfortable with the language they were using, particularly "smashing her" and a lot of swearing. One was also talking about how he was cheating on his girlfriend. It just seemed very sexist and made me and DH really uncomfortable.
Now, my ds is 3 months and there were no other children around to understand/overhear, but I turned around and asked them politely if they wouldn't mind keeping their conversation down. They apologised but then carried on after muttering something that sounded suspiciously like "interfering old bag", so 10 mins later my DH asked them again because there were other english speaking people on the bus. They apologised again but then started playing what sounded like pornographic videos. So I retaliated by loudly talking about he particularly gruesome elements of my recent childbirth and the fact my lochia had just ended and I had my first period back. Graphically.
Now, DH thinks IWBU because a) DS couldn't understand anyway, b) don't women talk about men that way too (I don't) and c) he had to listen to the gruesome stuff as well, but it did seem to work as they moved swiftly on to discussing the local cuisine...
WIBU and an "interfering old bag?!"
