DH made a woman cry - wtf

[parkedonthestreet]

Cars park on our street and it's a free for all. We noticed a car parked behind ours with a flat tyre on friday. DH has been going on about it. Today as we were going to our car he saw a woman walking to it and said "oh is this yours? Thought it was abandoned." She looked startled and said no ... why. He said because it had a flat tyre and she said something like oh, it'll be ok. Dh repeated it'll be ok and laughed loudly. She looked uncomfortable, then started crying, got in it and drove off.

Your husband sounds like a total Knob. He sounds like my soon to be ex partner. A passive aggressive narcissistic twat!! Who knows how her day had been going but he needs to keep his big gob shut and concern himself with his own business. He needs a kick in the nuts!!

She may have had a really bad day and your husband made her feel worse by his comments which caused her to get upset. Should mind his own business.

Maybe the woman had ALSO just had some bad news, OP.
What is your H's problem?

I wouldnt be surprised if she had thought he had let down her tyre

Where have you gone @parkedonthestreet? Have you seen sense as to why your 'D'H is a bit of an idiot?

If her car had beef there for a while , maybe something had happened in her life that she was upset about and it prevented her from returning for her car.
Then when she does come back for her car a BULLY upsets her by his comments. With all that might be going on in her life, he may have just tipped her over the edge.
It sounds like he was ver intimidating.
If she was parked legally what is his problem? It’s not his road. These people that don’t like cars parked outside their house should move to a private estate.

Did you DH offer to help her with flat tyre??

Your DH is a knob.

Tell him to stop mimicking and laughing at other people. It's unlikely he would have behaved like that to a muscular young guy, only likely to do it to someone he deems weaker than him. What an unattractive trait in a DH.

Your husband sounds like a person who needs a good answer back from a stranger who is not his business. Maybe he's been spoilt by the lack of such correcting situations.
"If you are that concerned, fancy fixing it for me?" "Got anything more helpful? Like a spare one, by a chance?"

It might have been kinder to have offered her help with her tire? Just saying.

Every time I have had car trouble, a nice man has stopped to ask if I'm ok and has helped if I have wanted him to. Most recently when my exhaust fell half off and a young man stopped in busy traffic to help me.

I think your H's response was pretty low. I hope he treats you better and you are OK, OP.

Would your husband have repeated what a man said and then laughed loudly?

He behaved shittily and you were unreasonable not pulling him up on it there and then.

Did Everyone Miss The OP's Message on page 2 of this thread??

"Just needed some air, I think. Sorry, bit distracted as I got some bad news just after I posted ... I didn't realise I turned votes on."

Probably explains why she hasn't been back...

@MrsWhatToDo very convenient after she started getting a hard time.

Very Possibly Ginger

But i do think its ironic that there are so many pages of people having a go at her without reading the thread properly or without knowing her situation. When the subject of the thread is her dh having go at someone without finding out any details and whose situation he didn't know.

Non of us even know what her question was meant to be. If there was one.

Your husband sounds like an obnoxious twat. I think her crying was over the top but still, your DH was being a dick to a stranger for no reason. He should mind his own business.

@MrsWhatToDo she was asked very early on how people were meant to vote on her point and she replied with a very curt 'don't post then' so I stand by my opinion of her.

Yes, your husband was being a knob. Maybe the woman didn't even notice she had a flat tyre till she drove away, and then didn't want to stop so as to get away from your husband laughing at her. Is he usually so insensitive and condescending? His reaction should have been to ask her if she needed help sorting it.

Think whether she drove off with a flat tire or not and the wrongs and rights of that are irrelevant here. I think unless he was trying to help her (clearly he was peed off with it in the first place so doesn’t seem like it) that would have been ok but I feel sorry for her clearly feeling condescended and, like others said, maybe she was having a rough day/week/month/year or skint or whatever and tipped her over the edge. Think he was disrespectful, sorry, and shouldn’t approach people in the street like that. Some people don’t like it, I don’t. Having said that we all make bad judgement calls from time to time, can you talk to him about how he acted? Think you wouldn’t be being unreasonable to do that.

Hubby sounds like a nasty, passive aggressive dick.

He sounds like a proper prick and hes bullying you as well cos otherwise you would have told him to shut the fuck up and keep his nose out

Your DH sounds very passive aggressive. Horrible.

Your husband sounds like an arsehole.
Maybe instead of laughing at her, he could've offered to help her.

I assumed on reading the initial post that the woman thought your DH had done it, for parking on your street, and that's why she cried. I assumed she thought he'd done it and was taunting her about it, for parking behind his car and leaving her vehicle there.
