Fed up with ladish DP and his mate

Couples night out yesterday - we got the train to the next city, and got the last one home. A boozy evening, really nice time.

DP and this particular friend are big in to their football and can be a bit ‘ladish’ after a few drinks. I roll me eyes usually as does his mates wife.

The station platform was really busy and a staff member was trying to move people. He did become a bit abrupt and some people accused him of being rude, I think he was just stressed.

Anyway, he kind of tripped and just about stopped himself from falling over.

Lots of people cheered, and then DP and his mate started a football chant aimed at him - “you fat bastard” which some others joined in with.

I felt sorry for the bloke. DP says he was being rude so got some deserved stick and it was ‘only lighthearted’.

Am I being a killjoy as he put it?

Time he fucking grew up. How would he feel if that was a member of his family being attacked. Time to fuck him off!

It's not laddish behaviour, it's bullying and honestly I'd just class it as being a cunt. How are you attracted to this? Do you have no standards?

OP - you sound as thick as your pathetic excuse of a partner tbh .
You deserve each other .

There’s nothing light-hearted about a group of people chanting ‘you fat bastard’ at someone.
DP is a childish bully. Having said that, it’s an insult to children to say that, most children know not to be so awful to others like that.

You're being very unreasonable to question the fact you might be unreasonable.

Have only read OP. My husband is "big into football" and he, and his mates would have a) made sure the man was ok and b) shouted at the chanting cunts to stfu

Era: my SH was a rare er soldier, as manly a job as I can think of, and didn't turn into a rude fucker so the excuse of "building trade" is twatty
