AIBU to throw the phone into the swimming pool?

Monday afternoons my kids have swimming lessons, one after the other, so it isn't my favourite time of the week anyway what with all the waiting around and wet feet etc, BUT I am sitting here, chatting to my DD, her reading a little bit, me trying to relax and the woman next to me is watching videos on Facebook FULL VOLUME, that stupid tingly tangly music that I could well do without. WHY? Watch them silently, I am 30cm from you and I'm not enjoying this noise. WIBU to grab her phone and throw it over the barrier into the swimming pool? (Light-hearted but I would love to do it).

Please do it.

Joking haha but bit inconsiderate of her!

I once threw someone's phone out the window when they wouldn't turn off YouTube when I wanted to sleep in the brothel! Needless to say I did have my nuggets taken

I can see how annoying that would be, could you not sit somewhere else?

New iPhones are waterproof up to 3ft so make sure you aim for the deep end.

Omg hotel and mick

Sorry autocorrect

RuggerHug · 08/10/2018 17:28

Brothel? There's back story I want..

Tahani · 08/10/2018 17:28

make sure you glare a lot at her

forthelifeofpomme · 08/10/2018 17:31

I love the autocorrect algorithm and that somewhere, some tech-brilliant person has programmed 'hotel' to be 'brothel' (or however autocorrect works) teeheee

MingaTurtle · 08/10/2018 17:32

OP - I’m sorry you have to go through this, but I think you’ll agree that it’s all been worth it for nutella’s autocorrect. Grin

EmeliSandpit · 08/10/2018 17:34

nutellaqueen123. Nuggets taken while trying to sleep at a brothel?😂😂

OP - no phones allowed poolside at our local pool because of the cameras. Just saying....

cutie101 · 08/10/2018 17:37

@nutellaqueen123 you have cheered up my afternoon!

Brothel Grin

Sparklesocks · 08/10/2018 17:40

Lol nutella! I hate when people take my nuggets at the brothel Grin

okeydokeygirl · 08/10/2018 17:40

Same at our pool. No phones allowed poolside. Assume ypu cant move furthwr away so have you tried asking her politely to turn the volume down or using headphones. Some people just don't think and a polite request can actually work.

Aprilislonggone · 08/10/2018 17:42

Bet you a tenner she would be in after it!!
No phones at our pool, safeguarding issue.
Report her.

Brainfogmcfogface · 08/10/2018 17:49

Oh nutella best autocorrect ever! 😂😂😂

ShirleyPhallus · 08/10/2018 17:51

Why don’t you just say “would you mind using headphones to watch those?”

Knittedfairies · 08/10/2018 17:54

I want to know how the nuggets were removed..

AnneProtheroe · 08/10/2018 18:00

Grin @nutellaqueen123

melj1213 · 08/10/2018 18:01

Have you actually asked her to turn the volume down?

Yes she should be more considerate of others around her but if you don't ask her to modify her behaviour as it is affecting you then she will continue as she assumes no one will mind

GreenTulips · 08/10/2018 18:04

Brothers nuggets and swimming pools! Who knew?

WipsGlitter · 08/10/2018 18:11
