To think this mother is selfish and a bit of a knobhead?

A woman got on the bus this morning with a few kids. The youngest in a buggy had a toy with buttons that made sound effects. It was loud. This child did not stop pressing these buttons. I looked at the mother as if to say wtf but it didn't work. Aibu to think what is wrong with people? I wouldn't dream of letting my kid in an inside public space with such a toy.

The mum was out of order. To be frank, only an idiot or entitled person would let a kid take a very noisy toy on a bus.

I live in a city, I hate loud noises so I always bring my fully charged earbuds for particularly loud instances. No big deal for me to put them on.

you can’t control the world or those around you, so to stop feeling frustrated, just bring some with you next time!
