To think you don’t beep your horn at pedestrians with sleeping children in prams?

[CatsForgotPassword]

Just had a total arsehole do this to me, when we were crossing the road. Apparently I wasn’t moving fast enough and I got a mouthful of abuse too.

You don’t do that, do you? I have joint pain, severe pain and depression and DS is ASD and I’d just got him to sleep.

Why do some people enjoy being such knobs to others?

Yes that's rather the point in their use.

However, this is not a thread about my occasional use of emojis is it. It's a thread on AIBU. And I think the general consensus, barring few exceptions, is... YABU. Done - you're welcome!

And there it is again - that tone is very condescending considering you’re not correct Surrey

if they aren’t disrespectful towards me, I won’t call them cunts. It’s not hard
Don’t be a dick and there’s no issue

By the same token, cross the road at a safe place and you're much less likely to get hit by a car.
Claim you can cross wherever because you're cold, the driver is in a warm car, you were there first and you'd ruin some cunts fucking life, people will think you're daft, have lost the plot or are a wind up merchant. It's not hard.

Not correct... in that you are being unreasonable? @cats... I'm afraid the consensus is that you ARE!

upside argument ad absurdum isn’t an argument lol

Unfortuantely I am not intellegent to know what that means so cant join in on your little lol joke. Though fortunately I have enough common sense to get my children safely across roads and not put their lives intentionly in danger just because I'm cold. Also fortunate that my DP dosnt have a llb so dont have the ability to not care if my children are killed because he could ruin the killers life.

I wasn’t in the wrong though. No one irl thinks I was either.
So why ask?!

I am right. The driver should know my medical history and spot a sleeping child. I was there first and it was cold. I am so right and everyone in real life says I'm right so i'll ask online and then get stroppy if anyone pops my bubble.
How bizarre.

The consensus can be whatever. I was there, no one else here was (unless you were the driver?). I know what happened.

As it happens I did take down the plate.

Upside google is your friend. And you’re still doing it.

Why should I “run”? I was there first, on a cold day. I’m sure someone in a warm car can wait 5 seconds for a mother to cross. Jesus.

You shouldn’t, OP. You’re (deliberately?) missing my point entirely.

My point is that you shouldn’t carelessly put both yours and your baby’s life in danger, but if you still insist on doing so, you should be able to run when your ridiculous plan goes tits up.

It’s irrelevant that you were there first. You don’t get dibs on the road by who was there first, you follow the Highway Code.

I crossed on a road with no cars coming in a built up area, I didn’t push my buggy with my eyes shut into the M1

Again, irrelevant whether it was the M1 or a country lane. You don’t just walk out because you “were taught to do so”. As a responsible adult in charge of someone else’s life, you learn the Highway Code, which states a horn should be used in a dangerous situation like the one you created.

"MN is ridiculous"

frankly you sound ridiculous.
Maybe take better care of your child, because your partner being able to fuck up someone's life in the case of the child's death, is really not much of a comfort is it?

Plus like I said, my partner would ensure anyone who did that would regret What could the partner have actually done?

If mother and child where killed in a car accident, the driver can just tell the truth, she stepped out in the road, there was no time to stop, I blasted my horn but she ignored it. Which it seems is what happened. Its not their fault so there is nothing the partner could do.

'Bizarre' is right...

Well this is all....odd

she stepped out in the road, there was no time to stop

That’s not the case though, is it.

I can't quite work out where this car was coming from but op, cars don't come from nowhere.

It wasn’t a dangerous situation. At all. She had plenty of time to stop, and I was there first and easily visible.

Plus like I said, my partner would ensure anyone who did that would regret What could the partner have actually done?

Yes please share as to what your DP would do exactly.

That’s not the case though, is it.
No its not, in this case the driver was able to stop, next time cross more carefully, you might not be so lucky twice in a row.

The consensus can be whatever. I was there, no one else here was (unless you were the driver?). I know what happened.

As it happens I did take down the plate.
Awesome.
You are so right gurl! You don't need no other opinions (even though you're doing lots of asking around).
Get your DH on it. I'm sure you can find a reason to ruin the fucker's life.

🍿🍿🍿

Either you’re being deliberately obtuse, haven’t read it or I’ve dxpkzined it poorly.

Explained*

If you are confident you were not being unreasonable, why post the thread at all OP?
I think your slightly aggressive tone is rubbing posters up the wrong way which is why it’s all got a bit negative.

Maisy

Don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll find a way to make them regret the abuse they gave me

I think your slightly aggressive tone is rubbing posters up the wrong way which is why it’s all got a bit negative.

I’m very blunt. Some people dislike that.
