To have had a go at a woman

Who had for older children with her, one of whom bashed a loo door into ds 2s head..... She didn't do anything, but then very shallowly said sorry and looked the other way. Ds was in fits of tears. She seemed very unconcerned. I called her on it and said, you dont seem very concerned. she said I have said sorry and I am watching for kids (in the loo). Her attitude was bad! WIBU to have a go at her? I am normally a mind your own business kind of person!

You were both BU; she underreacted and you overreacted. This thread has become bonkers, so I'd leave it if I were you, OP. Is it a full moon tonight?!

Pistol she asked the question 'surely the insults are unnecessary'
I'm responding to a question not having the last word!!!
I have apologised despite the fact I don't consider it an insult .

Calling someone a nut job is offensive.

Calling someone a nut job is offensive and unacceptable.

Inpursuite... I'm not fragile or sensitive or faint hearted. I wouldn't have survived the last 7 years of my life otherwise.... Aibu is for everyone, surely?

It is yes, but the way I see it, it's a bit like going to Burger King when you are on a diet. Why do it to yourself?

bordellosboheme · 18/01/2014 21:42

To check your moral compass?

bordellosboheme · 18/01/2014 21:43

And why all these burger references? I don't get it!!!

Oh my GOD InPursuit could you not have chosen a different analogy ??? Did you not see the OPs post re her partner and food ?? How frickin insensitive can you get ?? Shock

PistolAnnies · 18/01/2014 21:45

Bless you bordello, are you okay? Did you enjoy those WineWineWine ??! X

HaroldLloyd · 18/01/2014 21:45

Maybe it's you that should keep off AIBU I pursuit you seem to have an alarming lack of self awareness regarding when you are being rude and offensive.

InPursuitOfOblivion · 18/01/2014 21:46

Ok and people disagreed with you. Strongly disagreed with you. You seemed totally unprepared for that, so much so, you found it offensive. (I'm not just referring to my comments here)
This is what I mean. Why set yourself up to be offended? Who needs that?

InPursuitOfOblivion · 18/01/2014 21:49

Pistol obviously got burgers on the brain. Wonder why Hmm

bordellosboheme · 18/01/2014 21:49

Thanks pistol Smile this thread is totally bonkers. I don't think I can read anymore. Inpursuits choice of metaphor was totally deliberate I think.

HaroldLloyd · 18/01/2014 21:50

Makes me want to shut my own head in a toilet door.

Hide the thread OP!

InPursuitOfOblivion · 18/01/2014 21:50

It was deliberate. At pistol not you bordello.

bordellosboheme · 18/01/2014 21:51

Thanks for the WineWineWineWine pistol. Very nice.

Im out of here, felling very slightly depressed about some of the human race.

Turn your depression into pity for a certain poster on here Wink Clearly 'nut job' is a phrase close to his heart! x x

Goldenbear · 18/01/2014 22:08

I don't think you over reacted at all. Some people just aren't aware of how to behave in a civilised manner and this lack of awareness means their children never grasp this understanding either- it is 'lucky' others do as there would be a lot more conflict if we were all so self-absorbed!

Good luck with your new life.

bordellosboheme · 18/01/2014 22:23

Just realised also I do freak out a bit when ds injured himself. I nearly lost him at birth, due to a traumatic birth. he spent 10 days in an incubator being hypothermically cooled. And he's my only! Perhaps I need to work on that a little, but he's only 2 still.

bordellosboheme · 18/01/2014 22:23

Right, I AM going now. ByeSmile
