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?

Yanbu, he was being miserable.

Miserable git of irrelevant age.

It was probably my neighbour. He thinks dd should be seen and not heard. Actually, for preference she shouldn't be seen either.

Your dc sounds delightful and the grumpy man sounds awful. I'm sorry that happened to you.

I was very lucky to have been caught spinning DS round in the shopping trolley by someone with a lot more lust for life He actually caught a rather lacklustre spin (after several brilliant ones..) I apologised and put my head down. His response: "You should be sorry, disgraceful spin." And then he praised the next (I felt I had a point to prove then).

For every misery-arse.. Made my day!

Miserable twat. Seems you can't win whatever you do, then. Have whingy, tantrummy kids round the supermarket, get tutted at. Have giggly, happy kids get tutted at and told 'it's not a playground,'
I'd have been tempted to tell him to go bollocks. Though IRL I'm a wimp and would have just let it seethe and fester instead.
Seriously. Ignore the miserable git.

He is a misery guts.

Definitely a misery guts.

Love this suggestion.

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

My two year old spent yesterday evening running (carefully, without bumping into anything) round a supermarket with me, giggling with delight as I gave him things to put in the trolley. Not overly loud, but happy and infectious with his joy. Everyone we went past smiled at him. The guy you met was just weird!

I pushed a the 2 year old DS around the supermarket shouting "mummy, cock" (he meant clock) Oh the looks we got!!

yeah, he was being a miserable git.

People are irritable and rude in supermarkets. Ignore.

YANBU!

I like to think I'd have said 'Fuck me! THAT'S why I can't find the swings!'

Miserable git. It's lovely to see little ones playing and being happy. And I don't even like kids much.
