AIBU to think I've turned into my mother after doing what I did

I was sitting in traffic today as a passenger and happened to be stopped outside a coffee shop with a counter and stools right against the window and 2 schoolgirls around 14 years old in their school uniforms having a snack and on their phones, side by side, facing out the window. The window ran all the way from the ground up and one of the girls was sitting on a stool with her knees spread out to 90 degrees and giving a grand view of her thighs and a thin line of her knickers right at her crotch.

I immediately thought christ almighty girl, you're leaving nowt to the imagination there and thinking she can't have been aware I put the car window down and tried to catch her eye. I did and then I tried to mime to her that she was on full view. She and her pal just looked at me with bemusement verging on disdain and didn't seem to know what I was trying to tell them.

Next thing the traffic moved and I was away. As soon as I was around the corner it dawned on me that I had just become my mother telling a young teenage girl to put her knees together! Ohmygod! She could have been well aware how she was sitting and thinking if anyone wants to perv at me then that's their problem and that ol' biddy in the car should mind her own business.

So have I turned into a prim old biddy ?!!

And what would you have done if you saw what I saw?

🤣 I probably wouldn’t have said anything but I can see why you did. I am very conflicted as to how to vote…
