To not find having cream squirted in my face funny?

[DrinkingWatermelon]

Visiting my Grandmother today for tea and cakes. A few other members of the family were there too.

My cousin who is 8 asked his dad if he would squirt cream in his mouth - which he did. My uncle then turned to me and said do you want some too Watermelon?

I said no and he still proceeded to shove it in my face so I turned my head away and then he decided to actually squirt it on my face and even some went in my hair. So it wasn't even a small little blob.

My uncle found it hilarious until he saw my face and he did apologise but I still felt I should have just laughed along.

My uncle is early 40s and I'm 24 - I wouldn't do that to another adult. Aibu and need to her a sense of humour?

No indeed. Go in peace odaat.

Sitting on my phone? What?

:D afraid not sunshine!

Throwing insults around is not helpful or pleasant.
I think to be considered assault an act needs to be intended to cause harm.
Also, it I not sufficient for a "victim" just to say the act was harmful. It needs to be considered that a reasonSble person would think it harmful doesn't it? So I can't justifiably accuse my colleague of assault just because I claim to be emotionally harmed by her putting sugar in my coffee when I've repeatedly asked her not to. (unless maybe I had type 1 diabetes and she knows this and understands the implication of sugar for me and intended to harm me with aforementioned sugar.
So, if he intended to hurt or humiliate her then that's one thng. But we don't know that he did.

What purpose does squirting cream or water in someone's face have other than to cause discomfort/embarrassment / to make the person look ridiculous.

Particularly when as in the case of the OP, or Tom Cruise, they had asked the person not to?

Trading insults on here does nothing to help but neither does the attitude that such boorish behaviour should just be laughed off.

Oh for the love of [insert chosen deity/ non deity] Who said she should laugh it off?

Er, no one.
not even the uncle. He apologised when he realised she was (understandably) pissed off
There's a continuum of responses available. It really doesn't need to be a choice between laughing it off and treating it an an assault.
A more sensible (god forbid) response might be to say (after he said sorry "I should think so. That wasn't funny, I said I didn't want you to do that and because you didn't listen I'm covered in squirty bastard cream."

This got ridiculous five pages ago. I'm out.

Good idea.a me too.
