[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was having a major meltdown on the metro after work one day, and a pregnant woman looked at me and said, “my child will never behave like that.”

It had been a bad day, after a bad week, and I was exhausted. [/quote]

The exact same thing happened to me. At that point I’ve already decided to drop my filters with perfect strangers. [b]I told her she may yet have a stillborn so let’s not get cocky.[/b] She almost sat down. I told her it would teach her to stop saying stupid shit to complete strangers and exited. [/quote]

That’s hilarious. I appreciate you. People on metro are often intolerant dicks. Even the pregnant ladies. I hope she didn’t swallow too many flies and learned her lesson (though I doubt it). [/quote]

So you are an actual a hole then. Not only do you let your kid bother other riders on a train but then you hurl deeply offensive insults at the strangers that you were already bothering. What a jerk.

I don’t have filters with strangers either so if the kid is being an out of control monster then I will say so. Don’t like it? Keep your own kids to themselves then.[/quote]

That is a horrible thing to say to someone. I mean, I'm not against fighting fire with fire but this is just unnecessarily cruel.[/quote]
People who make mean comments to others shouldn’t be surprised if they get it back. [/quote]

And this is exactly why our country (and much of our world) is so violent and so angry.  You don't have to return an unkind comment with an unkind comment.  All you are doing is feeding the bully.  You are much better off saying "Wow, that was really hurtful".  Let them feel shame instead of anger.[/quote]

Or, you could just say - what child? You have a child?  And then feign surprise when she points to her bump and say oh, I thought you were just fat.  Congratulations, I guess. [/quote]

This legitimately made me laugh out loud.[/quote]
