Is this response normal?

[Uncle C]

I was queueing for a coffee in a local shop. Beside me a young mum was getting food and drinks for herself and her lad who was about 5/6 years old. The lad was playing up and it was obvious that the mum although telling him to stop repeatedly had absolutely no control over him.

First he knocked into me, then he attempted to climbed up on the counter. Finally as he passed along the counter he picked up every food item for sale, played with it and put it back on display. I wanted to comment to the mum about keeping her brat in order, but bit my tongue instead.

I got my coffee and was heading for a seat when the brat charged round to get a drinking straw bashed into my cup of coffee and poured about 25% of it over his neck and shoulders. Everyone was rushing around to help him with wipes, and even a cold ice pack.

I said absolutely nothing, but as I sipped the rest of the coffee I couldn't help but smile to myself and think "serves you right you little git".

Am I a bad person?

Not at all. A mother took her kids on the train and sat them opposite me. One of the kids proceeded to repeatedly kick me in the shin from Southampton to Brighton. Was tempted to kick them back by the end.

I think you were remarkably restrained !

 

[Stevie Boy]

not at all, if that was one of my kids i would have said the same,

 

[Everest]

You should have thrown the other 75% over the mother (accidently of course), then told her to buy you another.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Nope, but i bet most people thought it was your fault

 

[Taybha]

Waits for the nf9 i was scolded with coffee,what should i do thread

 

[looney]

should of asked to see the manager and asked for another cup on the house.

I did act with uncharacteristic calm. The counter staff saw what happened so I handed the spilt coffee back and told them they had better give me another (for free).

Nobody offerred me an ice pack for my 'scalded' hand.

The mother will SUE you for failing to bring the child to order. It is YOUR fault that he was mutilated by having BOILING coffee poured all over him. His career as a male model is RUINED.

I reckon an out-of-court settlement of about half a million quid is the best you can hope for.

 

[jordanseagull]

You disgrace me.

 

[Gully]

...I was more worried a couple of years ago when a small boy, sat in the child seat on a supermarket trolley, pointed at me and loudly shouted "daddy!!!"...his mother (presumably) explained that he did that to lots of men...I didn't bother to ask if she knew who his father was as he plainly hadn't a clue!

 

[Acker79]

You are a very bad person. You watched the kid put his grubby hands on display food and didn't demand they change it?

Or contact the HSE.

 

[NMH]

No. Should have complained that the coffee obviously wasn't hot enough, as the child lived.

 

[desprateseagull]

haha nice one.

[jimmypbha]

well done matey, little git should change his ways now

 

[Porky]

Why spill only 25%? You should have poured the other 75% down his neck.

I was in the supermarket once and there was one of the local chav kids running round causing havoc. He then ran up to me and bit my arm drawing blood just as his mum came round the corner looking for him. I saw the blood on my arm and on his mouth and turned and said "oh my god, he should not have done that", she just said "he is only a kid" not a sorry or anything. I then said " you had better get him checked out, im HIV positive". Her face went white and she was telling him to keep spitting. I left them to it and walked out the shop laughing. That should stop the little twat doing it again*
