Another crazy bus lady

[goodasgold]

I got on the bus with dd2 and ds3 yesterday. I took dd out of their double puschair to sit next to me, whilst ds slept in the pushchair.

Dd gets excited and starts to say/shout hello to every car and motorbike and ask me questions about where the bus is going. She is 2 and 4 months.

The 70 year old lady across the aisle asks me if dd can be a bit quieter, so I ask dd to hush, but don't really bollock her. After about 5-10 mins the old lady says 'look I've asked you once, can you make her quiet, I was on the bus first it was peaceful until you got on with your pushchair the size of a ...'

At this point the lady who works in the bakery in the village I live in said 'shes too little to make quiet' and the old lady said 'she was old enough for a smack and that she would grow up to have children outside of marriage and seek consolation in drink and drugs'

I put a brave face on it, but when I got off the bus I cried.

My dh said that I should have said something back, but what?

Not really asking wibu, just what would you do?

If you can be bothered to read so much, cheers!

Laurie, that is so funny, I will try to do this next time I see her, my dd might join in.

Sossy nice to see you on here! Sorry you have had this too, where do they get off? I know your dd is a little sweetie.

god bless the mean old bats i have already made a list of all the things i'm going to whinge about when my bus pass arrives...

Does anyone travel on london buses?

Have you seen the advert about respecting your fellow passengers?

There is a picture of an old lady which says something like "I must not be rude".

Great idea Laurie.

You could add a verse though:

"The old ladies on the bus go MOAN MOAN MOAN . . . !!"
