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?
