Aggressive woman in softplay

147 replies

Thewheelshavefallenoffthebus · 20/06/2018 20:27

So, went to softplay today (go all the time with my two very young dcs)

Another lady (i’ll call her Waynetta) was there with her gc.

Her gc was throwing food in the toddler area, crunching it on everything, everywhere and the woman was wearing her dirty shoes in the baby/toddlers play area. A member of staff told her to take her shoes off and remove the food as it is not allowed in the play area and is unhygienic but she hadn’t.

My youngest (1) climbed up to the top of the ladder and ended up on the platform and beside the woman’s gc. He put his hand in the girls bag of puffs (because he is a baby and saw puffs!) and I took it straight back out again and said no, not your puffs. the woman went mental - said my child had no manners and needed to ‘gerrof her (gd) puffs’ and be taught some manners (!)

I told her that my child is a baby and there is nothing wrong re my child’s manners thank you and that her gc shouldn’t have food in there anyway and that I had heard her being told to take it out. I also said I heard that she (grandmother) had been told to remove her own shoes yet still had them on in there where babies crawl around and it was unhygienic.

Waynetta went ballistic. Member of staff had returned and witnessed this and told her to take food out, take shoes off and that they don’t tolerate aggressive/abusive behaviour. Waynetta then said she’d be bringing her daughter to ‘floor me’ and the member of staff too and that we’d both Be knocked out.

My response was wtaf?

I took my dcs and went to find manager.

Manager tells me Waynetta has been caught stealing drinks from them, has been rude etc and could see I was shaken and upset.

Manager returns with me and Waynetta keeps on

Manager doesn’t make her leave!

Waynetta leaves shortly after but again threatens member of staff that her ‘daughter will be coming with her next time and so she will see what happens!’

I get upset and in my view this woman should be banned.

I’ve never experienced such a violent personality in a soft play place.

Should I be taking This further? Waynetta goes there as often as I do but I’ve previously been warned off her as she is odd.

I feel I can’t go there but I don’t have any other one to go to! Why should I have to stop going when I didn’t do anything wrong.

Par for the course at soft play I’m afraid. You get all sorts.

Thewheelshavefallenoffthebus · 22/06/2018 19:47

Mintich...sorry you met a Waynetta too. Those aggressive types really are bloody horrible people to deal with.

I was feeling really low until I went today and saw a room of friendly faces and spoke to the big boss.

I really hope she isn’t there with her daughter (as she threatened) to ‘floor’ me and the girl who works there. I’m not avoiding going and if she touches me i’ll Be calling the police.

Hi OP, no, I was saying that you pointing out that her grandchild shouldn't have food/she should take her shoes off is dickish behaviour. No-one likes people like you. What on earth did you expect her to do, thank you for educating her?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/06/2018 20:29

No-one likes people like you You forgot to ask me, when you canvassed everybody in the whole wide world!!

Happily GameFrame doesn't speak for me wheels

Sometimes you just have to tell people who don't give a shit about how their actions affect others to fuck off! This is definitey one of them!

GameFrame · 22/06/2018 20:31

@CuriousaboutSamphire Yes, but then you can't be surprised when they tell you to fuck right back off.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/06/2018 20:34

There's a difference between responding to someone asking you to abide by the rules of a space with "Fuck Off" and "I'll fucking floor you"

One is an understandable response to being lectured the other is an aggressive threat of violence!

GameFrame · 22/06/2018 20:36

@CuriousaboutSamphire True! I was just saying that the OP behaved like a dick, not that it's OK to say you'll floor someone!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/06/2018 20:38

Oooh! When you @ someone they get an email... weird! I'll be forever deleting MN emails now! Why do they do that? When did that start? How can I stop it?

Anyway, what's wrong with being a snob, sometimes it's warranted

Game....you are much too invested in this thread. Perhaps find another thread to troll with your unpleasantness.

I’m not going to engage with you any further as you are either a troll or Waynetta or Waynetta junior.

Thank you to all the genuine posters for your overwhelming support ☺️

Thewheelshavefallenoffthebus Why ask if you're being unreasonable if you're going to mock and insult people who say you were?

I don't agree with Gamer but you're really not coming across well in your responses to her.

Shumpalumpa · 23/06/2018 06:11

GameFrame I completely agree with you.

Shumpalumpa · 23/06/2018 06:13

The only dick in this scene was Waynetta. And whilst on that topic, she looked so rough I really wouldn’t be surprised if she did actually have a penis down there. Her voice was certainly gruff enough!

You really are being nasty OP. I doubt any of it happened as you described.

Thewheelshavefallenoffthebus · 23/06/2018 07:15

Lots of name changes for Gamechange. Namechange would be a better one.

OP posts:
GameFrame · 23/06/2018 07:34

I have only posted as GameChange on this post. You've been quite horrible in describing the other woman (though she was nasty to you), and I think people are reacting to that. Your nastiness is coming out particularly in your later posts, which may be why more people are calling you out on it.

GameFrame · 23/06/2018 07:34

I mean GameFrame

TrickyD · 23/06/2018 08:30

You sound very superior
Well she seems to have plenty to be superior about.
