You stupid pug faced miserable old bitch, and you fuckers behind the counter can fuck off as well

[justaflyingvisit]

This is what i felt like saying to the woman who told my DD to SHUT UP in the tesco post office just now. My DD was shouting at our dog who was outside the shop. She was saying hello hello hello hello - yeah it was loud but she was upset over something anyway (just had wee wee accident) so i didnt want to tell her off. The woman turned round and told my DD to shut up - she thought i didn't see. To my shame i gave her the finger (original!) and she turned to the counter staff and obviously proceeded to berate me for being common as muck. I guess she must have been right because the thread title was what i really wanted to say.

Grrrrrrr

So swearing and then a coy "wee wee "

Hmmm

Your thread title is offensive and so are you.

Offensive? Yay

and anyway, im not offensive im really nice and polite and all the old ladies love me so up yer bum

"im not offensive"

No, of course you're not. all sweetness and light as this thread shows.

Shut up is a dreadful thing to say to a child, however your response probably made the woman think she was right about you in the first place. You should be teaching your child to be socialable and not shout loudly in public. no doubt if you were seen to be trying to quieten her down then the woman may have sympathised, I can only think she thought you weren't doing your job.

I love the thread title

These people are at work and deal with MOPs all the time.

Surely a noisy child is something they see all the time?

YANBU

oh! how nice

i find the thread title funny.

rough as a badgers arse....

If any person working in a shop had been abusive to my child, (despite the fact that my child was being noisy- isn't that what children do???) I'd have complained to their superior. Rather than make an arse of myself and prove their point.

i agree thread title tremendous!..we had a shitty customer service experience today too..went into local leisure center cafe, nice food, reasonable, healthy, plenty of space for pushchairs etc..one guy who works there..how do i say..is a bit 'odd'..he clears up your plates as you put last mouth ful in etc..anyway today..me, cousin, her cousin and her aunt all having bite to eat, me with baby mindee and 4yr old mindee, cousin and her scousin with 1 LO each..all chatting, nothing usuual, not being wild or shouting, juts eating which actually surprised us..as we were finsihing he scoops the plates up from under our noses, barelty time to put fork dowm, friend had her cup taken even though it wasnt empty and cousins DD had her food actually taken from her when plate was still half full until cousin said shes still eating!..as we got up to go, he said very loudly to another member of staff.."Thats one more out now then"!!!???..so after having this since dd was born over 5 years ago i said "well maybe we just should stop coming in to eat and then you wouldnt have to clear up after us would you??..oh no, as then you wouldnt have a job either would you because if it wasnt for us, theyd be nothing for you to do"!!...and then i complained to girl at reception!..farking idiots!

I'd have been pissed off at the shut upcomment. But it would have been far less tacky to spout off your thread title than to give her the finger. I'd be thinking 'how common' too!

All you've done is cement in some silly cow's head the notion that loud toddlers go hand in hand with bad parenting rather than just being a fact of life!

Blimey JAFV don't hold back will you - say what you think!

why are you all jumping on lem? if some had told my dd to "shut up" id have given them more then the finger. i dont speak to my children that way and i certainly dont appreciate other people doing so!!!!

i dont know if i would have told dd to be quiet if she was hello'ing at my dog it would depend upon how loud she was doing it. i might have sent her to wait with the dog if she was being annoying.

We've all had days where we have felt like doing what you did, so no, I don't blame you, we are all human after all. She should not have told your child to shut up. That automatically would warrant a negative reaction. you're hardly going to say 'thanks for telling my kid off in that nasty way' Don't worry, life's to short

OK so the finger was a bit of an overreaction but so was the shut up...I think that they are even and giving her the finger was better than swearing at her.
YABU but then so is she = evens

You actually shudder Janas?

Did you need your smelling salts?

Even I think you are rough and theres me living on a council estate and all

PMSL at this. Not sure about giving the finger but YANBU to think what you thought. I would be furious if a stranger actually told my child to shut up (isn't that the parents' job??).

I think it's more common for someone to tell a stranger's child to "shut up" tbh.

YABU to give the finger (although I may have done that myself if I was really mad ) BUT, YANBU to be very cross at the stupid old bag - how dare she? Why the frigg should your child be quiet? I would have been tempted to slap her TBH (but would'nt).
Makes me quite
