Rude strangers vent
I just need to vent in an anonymous space lol
I took my 1.5yo to the zoo today. We decided to hop on the little train and while we waited for everyone to get on, my son was holding onto the rope because he refuses to sit until it starts moving (IYKYK). I was right there but he managed to slip off the STOPPED train. He was okay, but of course he was upset and DONE with the train at this point. I signaled to the employee that we were getting off and she waved me to go ahead. Then this random dad starts yelling at me that the train is about to go and I can’t get off. It literally took us 5 seconds to get off and he was so mad because the train had to wait 5 seconds. We didn’t even have a stroller that needed to be unloaded and the train hadn’t even started up.
I already struggle with depression/anxiety and going to crowded places with my toddler. I was already feeling upset about him falling and this man just added so much unnecessary stress. Like this did not involve him at all, why did he feel the need to speak? Fucking men.
