Close encounter with a Frau in the park today!

WPP.

This never happened.

Which "the park" are you referring to?

did you kidnap the baby?

I would I've said: oh no, sorry, don't worry, I was photographing the flowers, not the child.

And I would have gone on about my business.

Where's the problem?

Who photographs stupid tulips?!

Kids with mothers like that grow up even more insane than the mom, OP.

I mean even if for some reason it looked like you were taking a photo of her kid, she might have asked rather than assumed you were photographing her fully clothed child for nefarious purposes.

0/10

This reminds me of the threads Noodles would always start about fraus and their phones.

Noodles “would” start? Is it dead?

You should have haughtily said "Why don't you control YOUR child so he/she won't ruin MY picture?"

The OP is just a dumb troll with way too much time on his hands.

[quote] The iPhone has a “portrait“ setting now that makes some pictures look really good

The iPhone has always had portrait setting.

Tulips & daffodils don’t bloom at the same time, OP.

But thanks for playing

Now “regular” hyacinths do bloom at the same time as daffodils. They look good with mini daffodils.

Funny, it’s nowhere near 60 degrees here (high 40s) in my corner of the NE coast, but spring broke out today. Forsythia, magnolia, daffodils, hyacinths ...all up.

[quote]You should have haughtily said "Why don't you control YOUR child so he/she won't ruin MY picture?"

Refer to their children as "cub," "spawn," or "issue" to fully register your contempt.

You presented hole to that young child, OP, and mother saw you. Confess!!!

Was it Cynthia Nixon?

OP, the datalounge is now crowded by frauen, with over 75 % of DLers being hetero females. They are the ones who start all the fake threads. Gay DLers have called them out recently quite a lot, and they are out there seeking revenge. Sorry for your thread, completely valid. These obnoxious creatures should be fined when they attack passers by. But we are outnumbered here.

Fraus are the worst.

R18, you could be right. They’re responsible for the Lee Pace and Supernarural Threads - those never die.

I agree R19. I had an encounter with one at the dentists office last week. It was bizarre. And it wasn't the first time either. I did nothing wrong yet this frau-mom was shrieking in my face while holding her 2 yr old toddler. I know how you feel OP. The fact that she couldn't see the whole picture (no pun intended) and blamed you when you were the one that was wronged is indicative of narcissism. A normal person would not have let his/her child ruin your photo or would have distracted the child, thus preventing the child from being in your way. There was no reason the child had to be in that exact spot at that exact moment. Total disregard and lack of consideration and lack of awareness too are very typical for people with NPD. At least you never have to see her again. That poor child is stuck with her for the next 15 yrs or more.

^ I meant R18.

Babies are best pan sautéed in a light butter and garlic sauce.

Of all things living, a frau's the worst!

Whenever you encounter a vicious frau, just repeat this: "it's all a big nothing, what makes you think you're so special?"

When she calls the police, quietly tell them she is mentally ill and the crotch fruit needs to go into foster care.

The "YOU" in all caps in 'Don't YOU take..." was the last straw in giving you away, OP. As if some random frau with a running toddler has time to size YOU up.

I feel like the people making the earlier comments are straight gals. What is it with hetero women and Datalounge now?

Oh cut the shit. We have the internet now. If we knew what we know now, your own Mothers wouldn't want some stranger taking your picture.

U should have shat on her mouth

This reminds me there was a man standing in the street taking a photo of the ocean and some bicyclists (maybe they were his family?) he even had an assistant with him, and I lay on the horn when he didn’t move or even acknowledge me.

He missed his shot.

I was in NO mood, for some reason. Usually i’m Very kind to tourists but today I was like, “Yes, it’s all very pretty NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE ROAD!!!”

OP, you should have kicked her in the cunt. That would show her who is Queen of the Park!

Close Encounters of the Frau Kind

R13, I have both daffodils and tulips in bloom right now. In Ohio, of course, but I can't imagine NYC would be all that different. It's really tiresome to have fucking troll-chasers disputing every single anecdote with "this never happened". I've never bothered to make up any stories, but I've been told, repeatedly, that I'm a liar and a troll for posting some absolutely mundane thing that has happened to me. The OP's story sounds like real-life incidents that I've had, so I don't see why I'd question it.

Shoulda said: "Tell fatass Braythony to hustle his tits cause I wanna get a picture of these here flowers that my tax dollars paid for. Twat."

[QUOTE] Tulips & daffodils don’t bloom at the same time, OP.

Maybe not in Happy Valley, USA where you live. But in NYC they are definitely blooming at the same time after a long cool winter and its next to the river so there’s a microclimate there anyway so don’t tell me.

I have been banned from posting yesterday immediately after calling out the frauen who terrorize DL, but I won't be silenced. This is still a gay site where gay men should feel safe to express their opinions.

[quote] Now “regular” hyacinths do bloom at the same time as daffodils.

Right. But grape hyacinths bloom later than daffodils. The net is full of photos of grape hyacinths blooming in front of blooming daffodils. Doesn’t happen. Grape hyacinths bloom weeks after daffodils stop blooming. The only time you get grape hyacinths and daffodils blooming at the same time is if you bought forced bulbs from a garden center, then planted them together. Better take that photo ASAP because next year, it ain’t gonna look like that

This pic is a lie! It’s gardening fake news

These arguments are so silly, really (which I enjoy). There are many different varieties of tulips, some of which bloom very early, others are mid-season, and some are late. The same thing with daffodils: there are some extremely early blooming narcissus, but some varieties are rather late blooming. Most of my narcissus are finished blooming, but I still have a few in bloom now, while my tulips are in bloom. There are many species and varieties of grape hyacinths (muscari) which have slightly different seasons. My grape hyacinths bloomed a few weeks ago when I had more daffodils in bloom.

BTW, for anyone who wants to doubt me the park is Carl Schurz Park in the Gracie Square neighborhood and the flowers are fading now but they’re still visible. There were hyacinths tulips and daffodils all at once. Sorry that you don’t want to believe me, but there were. There was also forsythia and flowering trees, maybe some kind of dogwood or magnolia. Sorry that no one wants to believe the park was blooming. Sorry that you don’t live in NYC too.

I used to be sorry I didn't live in NYC, too, until it became uncool and also, reading about the rats on DL.

OP/R41 Fuck the poster who doesn't believe you. She's probably the one in the park that day with her kid who barked at you. Then she posted about the timing of the blooms, as a distraction, to deflect. Typical narcissist.

Yes, R43, I'll be banned again for saying it, but the frauen are obviously posting these stupid comments about the blooms, to dilute the thread. That's their new strategy of censorship. After invading DL, which was a safe space for gay men, they dictate, they censor, etc. Typical frauen fascist behaviour.

R41, is Carl Schurz Park still cruisey at night?

[QUOTE] The iPhone has always had portrait setting.

The portrait ‘bokeh’ effect feature came only with the iPhone 7 Plus, which is what I have. You twat.

OP, you should have bent over and presented hole.

No I don’t think so R46. I hear it used to be back in the 70s-90s but from what I see it’s pretty much a family type park now even at night. Plus the cops are always there because of Gracie Mansion and the First Family actually living in it unlike Bloomberg and the last portion of Giuliani’s second term. Now with apps I don’t think that’s a popular way to hook up anymore
