i was on the bus home this evening with my ds 12months old, and this idiot with 2 children in tow gets on the bus, you could hear her before she even got on the bus shouting at a polish woman saying "who do you think your f&ckin pushin ya polish c*t, you come here take our jobs" bla bla bla. she sat beside me (to my horror) and continued shouting as her mother refused to stay on the bus because of her behaviour.

after the 2nd bout of swearing i said "could you stop swearing and shouting theres no need!" this woman smelled like she fell into a bottle of vodka!!

the whole way home i was getting called a posh c*t, and who did i think i was.. a few woman behind me stood up for me and told her to be quiet she was embarassing herself and her children, then she said to me look at you kissin your ugly c*t of a wean (live in scotland!)i completely lost it, told her she was a disgrace and being a parent was a privilge not a right and that i felt sorry for her 2 kids as she was their parent. told her people like her should be sterilised!!

was i right or was i BU??

Oh my word. I only read the first page but if anyone said anything about one of my kids, I would batter them. She'd have got her head through a window.

Glad you said something. You should have rung social services as soon as you got off the bus. Those kids had to go home with that.

Mummygoingmad - she probably wont remember you because of the alcohol.

actually this thread brought a smile to my face as in the midst of the AIBU posts, the title was so staggeringly Scottish! not a day goes by when I'm not glad that I've moved here from the south of England and despite all its social problems, the people here are fantastic!

teameric · 29/11/2009 22:41

scottishmummy bit ott? not really, I only said what I would do if someone said that about my kids, hardly abigged up response

scottishmummy · 29/11/2009 22:41

TAP,hold onto that fighting talk and battering and visualise your mil next time she gets on yer tits

fledtoscotland · 29/11/2009 22:43

totallyandutterlypained - tbh a lot of people talk like this in this area of Scotland. To them they are not actually swearing but these words are just an everyday part of their vocabulary. SS wouldn't even bat an eyelid - they probably talk the same.

scottishmummy · 29/11/2009 22:44

actually found it vv funny teameric.just a bit pure mad and mental.i had a strong visual image.it made me snigger

Vivia · 29/11/2009 22:44

Don't react to people like that awful woman, OP! They thrive on winding others up. Please don't make this a 'Scottish' issue though - Crackfox, I find your comments too sweepingly general. I live in Leith, you are in Leith: we aren't all radges, are we?!

teameric · 29/11/2009 22:45

oh well

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 29/11/2009 22:46

good advice there SM, MIL needs it.

But seriously, calling someone's child that is absolutely disgusting.

Hate to think what her DCs are growing up seeing if that's just a trip on a bus. Can't believe their nan left them.

And all this 'who do you think you are'.. Who does she think she is?

I can't stop kissing my 1 yo, he's the yummiest little ball of innocence ever. I'd be gutted if someone said something like that about him.

scottishmummy · 29/11/2009 22:46

i know leith v well from student days and the albion bar, oh and hibs matches

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 29/11/2009 22:47

Fled- crossposted. That makes sense as I've never heard someone talk like that in this area (obviously in fights on nights out, but not just in general on a bus).

teameric · 29/11/2009 22:49

I'd still batter her though

scottishmummy · 29/11/2009 22:50

well,aye of course im a jessie who'd be to fearit. i would hope the power of dirty looks and seat changing would send the message

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 29/11/2009 22:51

Is a 'wean' not just a way of saying 'weedy little kid'? Or is it an actual word for a DC?

fledtoscotland · 29/11/2009 22:53

TAUP - as I said the joys of strathclyde.

although I do agree with OP that she isnt being unreasonable, you just expect that kind of language. In my work (am a nurse) a lot of people just speak like this rather than meaning it to be insulting. Kids are called weans (wee'uns), c*t is used with unfortunate frequency and its not a sentence if there isnt at least one f*k.

just part of life

I don't really know the east side of the country but am sure they have their own specfic phrases.

scottishmummy · 29/11/2009 22:54

wean = child west coast
bairn = child east coast
"how's yir weans scottishmammy a common salutation"

to which i reply

aye daen well, how's yourself

mummysgoingmad · 29/11/2009 22:57

i think i did very well, didn't raise my voice, didn't swear, didn't call her anything nasty like the drunken witch she is...i deserve a gold star!! she prob wont even remember by tomorrow but its not the point. i was considering calling social services, but i dont know where she live or her name..they would of thought i was off my nut!! fledtoscotland i lol when i read your staggeringly scottish remark, i love glasgow (not from here originally from a little town in south west scotland) but people like her make wonder if i should move back home.
