A mum was admonished in the street after making a simple gesture with her hands when walking past a group of noisy children.
The mum was walking back from dropping her children off at school but wasn't feeling "100%" after getting over a cold, and still had a "slight headache". She passed a group of boys who "gave particularly loud screams and shrieks" so she tried to discreetly cover her ears.
In a bid to avoid being obvious or potentially offensive, she held her ears in the "most unnoticeable way" and ensured her elbows were tucked in so they weren't protruding. But one of the boys' mums still saw her and approached, and then told her off in the middle of the street.
