A man called me stupid in front of my daughter

[Springsunshine28]

As I was exiting the lift with my two-year-old in the pram, another pram went out ahead of us. Since I was backing out, I didn’t realize they were still near the elevator entrance, and I accidentally bumped into the woman with the other pram. I was looking at my phone while maneuvering, but I immediately apologized. However, her husband deliberately said, "She’s on her phone, she’s stupid." My little girl heard it and repeated, "Mum, are you stupid." I was absolutely fuming and really wanted to retaliate. I was so angry and told him that I already apologized and I think you're stupid and rude. I know I should have just ignored it but it really made me so angry.

Not talking to someone?
It's not their business
That's how misunderstandings and arguments happen

"You just called me a stupid man"
"No I was talking to my friend about someone at work and you're eavesdropping'

MRAs aren’t always men

I might try this in Tesco and see how long it is before I get a punch in the face 😂

Oh Christ not you as well.

Read the OP. She didn’t am her pram into anyone.

So (to use your example), you’re presumably happy for your colleagues to say ‘ he is a fucking stupid man’ as long as they don’t say ‘you’re a fucking stupid man’?

Because that’s what you’re saying, that OP should be fine with being called stupid.

"Weh you are a man" isn't an argmuent
Deliberately standing next to someone and randomly bitching about them is also not the same as commenting to the person you're with about an incident that just happened

Maybe they should have ducked the time that they got hit on the head and it knocked their IQ down by 100 points. Might have the ability to read posts properly that way.

All the man haters are out in force today I see 😉

It’s not your business if someone is insulting you within earshot?

So I can go and call someone a cunt when they’re standing without earshot and it’s none of their business?

Why do you keep insisting OP didn't hit anyone with her pram?

😂

Pronouns have way too much power these days 😂

Act stupid, be prepared to be called stupid

Why do you keep ignoring the question on why you think it’s bad for OP say stupid in front of her child but it’s ok for the man to say stupid in front of his child?

The irony of posters saying a man is a "bully" and a "big baby" and acting like he deeply insulted a woman because he called her stupid and then making comments about other poster's intelligence because they disagree with you

Well the man acted stupid by being insulting after an apology, so he deserved to be called stupid.

What does “weh you are a man” mean?

Deliberately standing next to someone and randomly bitching about them is also not the same as commenting to the person you're with about an incident that just happened

Ot is when the comment is an insult about the person nearby.

Tell you what, why don’t you go to your local Primark with a friend and insult every person who looks at their phone within earshot - see what happens.

A half hearted "Oh sorry" doesn't mean anything

It's pretty clear OPbdoesnt even really think she did anything wrong

Apology was pointless

Because she didn’t.

Why are you insisting she die?

Tell you what: read the OP again, slowly, and picture the scene in your head

Insult someone within earshot, expect to be called out on it

What did you want OP to do? Flagellate herself with her umbrella? 😂

Constantly going on about MRAs is basically MN speak for "you are a man pretending to be a woman and your opinion is invalid"

That's not remotely the same situation and you know it.

Ignore the man?
Move on with her life?
Acknowledge she was in the wrong?

I wonder how this thread would be going if the OP was a man and had bumped into a woman because he was on his phone.

I’m making comments about poster’s intelligence because they haven’t read the OP properly, and because they come out with illogical arguments like “You can’t call someone stupid to their face but you can call them stupid to someone else standing next to them and it’s none of their business”
