How bloody dreadful. Stupid woman.

No you are entirely reasonable.

ditavonteesed · 09/06/2010 16:22

that is outrageous.

HeywoodJablome · 09/06/2010 16:22

Bleugh!

How odious of her.

I often used to keep the raincover down on the buggy to protect the DC from such thoughtless smokers.

Under the circs and being pregnant I think you were very restrained.

3ismylot · 09/06/2010 16:24

thats awful!

I used to smoke but would always move a cigerette out of childrens way when ever I passed one and if god forbid I ever did it by accident I would be mortified and would of apologised like mad.

She's bang out of order. What a bitch.

LittleMissHissyFit · 09/06/2010 16:30

[speechless] [glad i no longer smoke]

I'm afraid the buggy would have connected with her achilles tendon.

Totally out of order yanbu. It's not hard to be aware of people around you. I am a smoker, and sometimes I smoke when I'm out but I am always aware of who is around me, I move away if there are children and god forbid if I managed to do this by accident I'd be absolutely mortified and apologising like a lunatic.
Some people are just so self involved. I was walking through town with DD a while ago and just in time grabbed a womans arm as she was about to stick her ciggarette in DD's face. She looked at me like a was a lunatic assaulting her even after she'd realised.

YADNBU.

Bloody hell - she didn't even acknowledge when you told her.

liberty30 · 09/06/2010 16:36

I've had a few near misses myself - people walking past 2 yr old dd and of course their hand and fag are at her head height.
Not so sure I could of been as restrained as you !! And if you had done as your title suggests then I wouldnt of blamed you !!
