Sure enough, without looking the kid (aged 5 or 6) runs into the road right in front of me, so I slam on the brakes... it wasnt especially close cos I could see he was going to do it.... but what pissed me off is that the father just strolls up, strolls right in front of me, walks on by without even glancing in my direction.
I mean, Im not expecting the guy to come up and shake my hand or anything, but since basically his kid wasnt run down cos I was watching him when he wasnt... its kind of fucked up that he doesnt even seem to NOTICE.
Well, maybe Im ranting.... just pissed me off a little is all.

I'd be pretty pissed off if that happened too. There's alot of kids around here too, and they do exactly the same. The parents don't take care of the kids so when they run into the street and in front of a car, especially mine, and I slam on the brakes because sometimes I don't seem them, like at night, the parents give me a bunch of shit because of the way I broke (I slam on it hard cause the kids run in front of my car at the last second). Me, being a nice guy, don't yell at the parents but rather take it and leave it. Although next time, I'm just gonna bitch at the parents, telling them to take care of their kids or I'm not gonna be able to slam on the brakes one day. Fortunately, I haven't ran any kid over.
