She Recently Had An Encounter With A Rude Woman At A Local Community Center, And She Ended Up Refusing To Help Her In Front Of Her Kids
There is nothing worse than trying to play a game like basketball or volleyball and having to use a deflated ball.
One woman recently refused to let a woman use her pump to inflate a basketball for her kids at their local community center after she was very rude.
She and her boyfriend often frequent their local community center, which has a few basketball courts. Sometimes they’ll go there on weekends to shoot some hoops and have fun.
The only issue with the community center is that their supplies aren’t the best, and they usually only offer up deflated basketballs.
“You can remedy this by either bringing your own ball or your own pump,” she explained.
“Since I already have a pump for my bike, we usually just bring that and let other people use it too if they ask nicely.”
However, the other day, she had a run-in with someone on the court who wasn’t very nice.
She was playing hoops with her boyfriend when a mom and her two young sons arrived to play on the other side of their court.
The kids started playing but were having trouble because they were using one of the deflated basketballs. Suddenly, the mom walked up to her and her boyfriend and told them they “had” to give her boys a turn with their basketball since it was the only good one available.

She kindly explained to the mom that all the basketballs at the community center were deflated, but they brought their own pump to fix them. She also told the mom she was welcome to use it and fix the one her kids were using.
Instead of being thankful and using the pump, the mom scoffed and asked, “I supposed you’re not even going to inflate it for us?”
She was taken aback by this lady’s rudeness and told her she not only wasn’t going to pump it for her, but she also changed her mind and wouldn’t allow her to use the pump at all.
“I turned back to my boyfriend, and we started playing again, ignoring her stammering about how rude we were,” she remembered.
“The kids were watching the whole time and didn’t say a word. They started playing again, too, until the mom got frustrated with us ignoring her, took them, and left.”
Although she felt bad for the kids, she felt no sympathy for their rude mom. However, when she continued playing with her boyfriend, he mentioned that she had gone too far and should have let the mom use their pump for the kids’ sake.
“While I do feel bad for them, I wasn’t going to let their entitled mother steamroll me,” she added.
Should she have let the mom use the air pump?
