Called Unsociable 10 year old a fat c*nt

[Herefortea2]

Ok, am I the worst person ever??
Last week I was at marks and spencers and there was this boy there, about 11 who was riding around on a electric scooter, whizzing past people and behaving in a passive aggressive way. When I past him he loudly made throwing up noises several times right in front of me, to scare/shock me and I said oh are you ok, maybe you need a doctor (because I don't like to be initimdated by youths). Anyway I do the shop and keep thinking about him, I was in a bad mood already and he really annoyed me, I'm fed up of little shits thinking they can terrorise people.
Anyway I saw him again on the way out and again he was whizzing past scaring people. He came past me again and then I said it.....I said 'fat cnt'!!! Now I actually do not use that word, I don't like it, I don't like it when it's used around me either but I was so pissed off that that's what I said!!!! Anyway he circled round and was like what did you say....I ignored him and he started insulting me and following me as I walked to my car, saying is this your car you fucking bitch, cnt, etc etc. I walked away saying I'm calling the police! Then this guy comes over who's his dad! He apologies and says he's trying to get him home (the kid had been in the car park for half an hour at least, maybe longer), the kid tells the dad what I called him and the dad says 'no she didn't' then the kid goes off at the dad for taking a strangers side. The dad is completely useless as the kid is still circling me where I actually have to push him away from me! Eventually he leaves after a lot of verbal abuse, from the kid. Now I'm thinking I shouldn't have done it and feeling guilty and also worried that I can't go back to M&S because he might be there and start abusing me and I have 2 young children. Thoughts? I am going to hell?

Have you actually READ my post? Do you have a problem with comprehension? And calm down.

Dear oh dear...

Ooo you're hard.

OP don't worry about it. I'm sick of dealing with adults, on a daily basis, who were clearly never called a fat cunt or parented correctly. It's draining living in a society of people who have never been told 'no', who have an entitled shitty attitude or are just plain rude and obnoxious. I think we need much less tolerance of kids who behave like this and of their crap parents.

I always wonder what the ‘I would of punched him’ brigade actually do in real
life. Do they behave like Neanderthals, unaware where their actions could lead, or are they just trying to look ‘tough’.

Are we going to find out how @wobblyewobbly would stop an adult entering Marks?

Meh.
As someone who lives in an area where teenagers are currently running around doing whatever they want and getting away with it, I can’t get worked up about this.
act like a cunt, get called a cunt.

a few years ago I was driving along a residential road, minding my own business. Had my car window down. Drove past a group of girls who felt the need to start giving it the big one and began shouting out at me. So, I stopped the car, did a neat little 3 point turn, drove back to them and said ‘sorry, didn’t catch that, what were you saying?’
turns out it was nothing, they weren’t saying anything at all, nope, defo not. To which I replied ‘yeah, thought not’ and carried on.
the 3 point turn to get back the way I was going killed the vibe a bit, but other than that - I like to think that they learnt that actually, not everyone is just going to accept and ignore shit behaviour. And in the grand scheme of things, there are going to be people who react very differently from the mild way I did.

But why? What would do?

I’ve asked and don’t think @wobblyewobbly has replied. Apparently there would be no violence involved so I’m intrigued!

Anyway. I reckon the dad did believe the boy but didn’t remonstrate with the OP as he also thinks his son is a bit of a cunt

All these people saying calling him a fat cunt would cause him trauma, you really need to get a grip! It sounds like he’s acted like a little shit for too long! The fact he even knows about the word cunt at ten/eleven says a lot about him! I don’t know many ten/eleven year olds that know that word!

I missed your last post to me when I had intended to reply, thanks for explaining. 😊

Use her hurty words? 😁

😁😁 picky bits. Just when I thought I couldn’t laugh any more.

You do know you’ve traumatised your poor baby for life now. Another one on a scooter in M & S in 11 years time……

Honestly, this made me laugh. Was it your finest hour? No! BUT I'm in no position to judge as I can imagining me thinking it and muttering it as well 😆

“…the 3 point turn to get back the way I was going killed the vibe a bit…”

Haha!, So funny. 😆

I think it might involve a Paddington-esque 'hard stare', and a 'don't talk to my little darling boysee woysee like that, diont call him a fat cunt, its not his fault he is a fat cunt, it's the government/schools/society's fault init'.

I also agree that the Dad absolutely knows that OP did say that, but was glad it wasn't just him saying it.

Can’t relate, my family barely ever swears as it is.

However she didn’t lose it with her children, she lost it with a stranger who was harassing people. Not OP’s finest moment of course, but some kids are nuisances and will only understand it when given in the same measure. Her insult was tame at best, he’s hearing and saying far worse than that.

Agree with this. It’s always the ones who expect children to behave perfectly who behave like children themselves. And who think sweary slurs are hilarious when directed at a child, but would lose their minds if someone was calling them the same.

😂😂😂

I was almost at my car once when a school bus came past and a pupil threw coke at me through the open window.
I knew the route the bus took and I knew the school so I jumped in my car and managed to catch the bus up at it's last drop off.
A lovely lad about 13 happily dobbed in the girl that did it so I rang the school and told them.
They promised to have a word, i hope they did.
I wouldn't have described her as a cunt but she was certainly a horrid teen who deserved to be reprimanded.

YABU to call him fat. He does sound like a bit of a cunt though. I’d have tried to keep it as an inside thought but maybe he’ll reflect on it.

You obviously shouldn't have sunk to his level.

I'd be surprised if M & S allows him to make a hobby of it though. They'll ban him if they see him.

I’m always surprised with these type of topics where the holier than thou posters trot out the whole ‘oh, believe me, you wouldn’t speak to my son like that’.
Would your son behave like that? If so, you might be a bit of a cunt yourself.
I don’t have to worry about anyone speaking to my children like this as they’re not feral arseholes. And if they DID behave like this then they’d firmly be opening themselves up for a public dressing down.

Having read through most of this, I am with the op, probably should have used less colourful language, but, and this is the but which will get me in to trouble.
If the you lad was behaving himself, and just being a 10 year old, with out intimidating anyone this wouldn't have happened.
Far too many people jump on the 'he is only a child' well,he obviously doesn't think so as he is riding a scooter doing things which he knows will upset some people, so he knows the difference between right and wrong - over 10, responsible.
Too many people don't get involved now, they take the sideline, don't stand up for the sensible people who just want to get on with their lives with out the hassle or intimidating from feral youths.
Yes, way over the top colourful language, but wouldn't have been in the situation if not provoked. Perhaps if more people, more parents, more teachers, more society attempted to actually say, 'hang on this is wrong', and make the child/parent responsible for the actions of their offspring, we would be in a better place.
Nip it quickly in the bud and don't allow this feral behaviour to become the norm.

Back in the day (yeees, back in the better days) a copper would have given him a clip around the ear and a good talking too and everyone would have accepted that that was the right thing to do. Political correctness has stopped everything in its tracks.

He deserved a telling off, not to be sworn at or told he was fat. You're the adult OP not a child don't resort to name calling.
