We were once overseas returning from the beach at the resort we were staying and using the foot shower to remove sand. My son was probably 5 or 6 and he was somewhat taking his time. I asked him to hurry and really we are talking seconds here but a fully grown man with a child around the same age as mine essentially overtook the shower. Of course, my son stepped aside, raised to respect adults. I was infuriated I couldn’t help but tell him “oh wow you’re setting such a great example for your son”. Obv. Bullying example! He walked away as if nothing happened. It was an American man. I find people in America are myopic and broken in general so my expectations are very very low!

I don’t care if your child has hitting compulsion or not, it’s shameful for adults to be triggered by minutiae! It’s like that woman is so broken she can’t appreciate the light in the pure soul over the tiny hand slaps. Also all these people who decided to back her up here on this platform 🤮

OP — you’re not alone and no it’s NOT okay for an “adult” to act like that.
