To think DC laughing at a supermarket is fine?

[GreenGrassStains]

I had to pop to the supermarket at 7pm today when I realised we had ran out of milk as DP is working a late shift.

2 year old DD was in the buggy but having a funny 5 minutes and playing boo behind her cuddly toy then loudly laughing, and with the shop being quite quiet it was echoing around a bit, but a man huffed as he walked past, looked at me with complete disdain and said 'it's a shop not a playground'.

AIBU to think he's being a misery guts or is there some shopping etiquette I've missed where toddlers should sit quietly in shops?

wtf? What a miserable bastard.

Nah, he'd had a long day at work and was in a mood.

He probably realised what an arse he was as he said it.

He was being miserable and completely ridiculous.

Miserable git (and I'm quite miserable).

Some people are just joyless bellends. Or perhaps he was looking round the supermarket for Migraleve, and hadn't bet on encountering a cute, giggly toddler? Either way, he needs an injection of serotonin.

Do you reply 'it's a shop and not a morgue, try and lighten up a bit, you'll enjoy life more'?

its the heat makes people grumpy xx most people i meet love my ring tone its my son laughing when he was 6 months old really makes people smile! but this muggy weather brings out the miseries in everyone even me

I think he should've, on reflection, apologised for being a cantankerous git.

should have confused the fuck out of him and said 'awww thank you' and smiled brightly.

It'd break some people's hearts to have a good time.

Just feel sorry for the miserable bugger.

She was in her buggy, not hurtling round the shop on heelies or a micro scooter. He was probably knackered and grumpy after (yet another) long hot day.

Smile and wave OP.

Laughing should be banned.

From everywhere.

Next time you see him you must both point and laugh.

Jesus what a fun sponge!

Sounds like a fun game OP. You carry on letting your dd having fun. One of my pet hates is miserable old men who think that it is acceptable for them to be rude to young women.

Me and dd pretend our trolley is a train. He'd have hated us.

RedRoom where does the OP mention his age?

YANBU OP. He sounds as though he was in a bad mood.

Laughing ? How very dare she . Perhaps he'd rather she was sobbing and throwing herself to the floor in theatrical two year old fashion ? Pillock .

DH took DS to the supermarket yesterday without a buggy, oh heck! Guess whose 2 yr old ripped open a loaf of Warburtons and crammed a slice in his mouth before Daddy could stop him?

OP, you have nothing to worry about!

Oh, another poster bringing age into it.

The sound of children's laughter should be banned. That sounds reasonable!

Ignore.

Some people don't like people.

He was probably in his 40/50s to clarify
Glad it's not usually frowned on, I was wondering what people must think when she's in a bad mood if laughing was generally seen as an annoyance!

So he wasn't old then. Irritable and rude though.

Send him shopping with me when I am occupying ds - we sing nursery rhymes to occupy ourselves. Will miss that when he starts school.
