Rush hour
Friday - the week ends
Tube is packed.
So why the fuck would you let your four year old child try to high jump, kick and leapfrog a turnstile when theres masses of people trying to get out before the crush at the back of them becomes too much?
Why would you then get annoyed at someone who after standing behind your child, rolling thier eyes, AFTER waiting patiently, and going to the next turnstile? So annoyed you follow them out the tube station to shout "For Gods sake, she's only four!!"
"And, I dont need to get home after work?"
"Well what do you think Im trying to do?" (motioning towards child)
"Other than keeping a poor hold of your child, not much. But this may be why I dont have kids and you do"
"Im trying to teach her to do things" (At rush hour on the fucking tube)
"Let me ask you something. Did I push her? Did I nudge her towards the turnstile? Did I in any way give her any awareness that I was in a rush? Did I even say anything? No, I rolled my eyes and walked away. You on the other hand have spent more time dragging her about to shout at me, making her stand there looking akward and confused bringing the whole sorry matter to her attention more than I did by walking away"
Silence.
"Aye exactly. Get a grip of yourself, Im away home I dont have time for this"
Can I just make it clear I dont blame the child for this? Her mums standing watching her arse about at the turnstile with the sort of blank look only someone who doesnt have a fucking clue whats going on can.
If she's annoyed at me just because she's been made to feel bad about her lack of parental control, I really dont see what shouting at me is going to do.
Fucking retard.
