Was I?

[roulade]

I take the tube to work in the morning with ds (3). We walk to the station and when we get there we stand by the wall so i can put my Metro paper in my rucksack.This morning as i was doing this a woman barged into my ds and sent him flying! She then carried on her merry way without even acknowledging what she had done. Now i agree that i was unreasonable to have shouted 'Stupid Twat' at her retreating back (she didn't even notice) It just came out, i think i am an old fishwife in disguise! But was i being unreasonable to go up to her on the platform and say 'How about apologising for knocking a 3 year old over?', giving her the Death Stare and walking off?

YANBU but then I am an old fishwife

Well, she started it!

she is a stupid twat though.

now then, how likely is your 3 year old to copy you and start saying "stupid twat" to all passers by....or loved family members like your mil????

must admit to being a fishwife in my head still these days but bieng very controlled where swearing is concerned around kids.

There are twats out there, i would have been very mad if some one had knocked my child over then stomped off. There may have been a rugby tackle involved if it were me....

Somehow i think he missed it! Unfortunately he didn't miss it when i shouted 'Arsehole' at the car that soaked us the other morning (OMG i AM a fishwife!) but i managed to get him to say 'Bad Man' instead

Not at all U. What was her response?

YANBU!!
Stupid cow.
My boys always say they are invisible when we go shopping as people are always shoving into them or knocking them flying. DS2 usually shouts "Ouch" at the top of his voice and gives them dirty looks
I think that if you are under 4ft tall you must not exist in some people's eyes.

A reasonable response in my book

Her response was to just look at me vacantly.Mine was to walk away quaking incase she ran after me!

YANBU. I once shouted at a horrible woman at London Bridge who almost knocked me onto the track in her rush to get to the train and actually barged me so hard that she left a mark on my arm! I screamed to my sister (poor thing, she was with me and was mortified) - 'see that stupid fucking bitch there, she's just tried to push me over, cheeky shit!' The woman in question RAN (yes, RAN) to the other end of the train. A wise move.

DH had a great experience (again, at London Bridge) when he was carrying a large bag and some woman tried to barge him out of the way - unfortunately for her, the large bag contained a large piece of his stereo that he'd been taking to get repaired and she cracked her shin on it very hard and screeched in pain. Bwahahahahahaha! Instant karma.

A long time ago when I was a hormonal monster new mother of pfb one, a woman barged past us in the street, knocking my baby and dropping fag ash on him I roared at her and she told me to piss off, so I tried to kick her and there was nearly a full blown fist fight.
Not my finest hour, I'm normally a wimp mild mannered type, but I was enraged and couldn't control myself.

So Yanbu!

Yay i ANBU!!!!

I am very glad i am not the only fishwife on MN. Though i do only seem to get fishwifey when ds (pfb) is under attack
