I guess I find all this talk so odd since I have not run into those types of people myself very often. The posts make it seem like it is 24/7 that some of you are being pounded in public with terrible children and bad parents. I must live in asshole free enviornment or due a better job weeding out the potential bad friends/ bad parents.

edit- as well why write such a negative statement when regarding the bad parent behaviour? why not leave out insults and just make it a statement. I think more people are more incline to read and listen to your view when you make a statement such as....

"I don't like it when parents let there child shit on my floor"

instead of saying....

"fucking dumb kids and there fucking dumber parents letting them shit everywhere"

not quoting directly just an example.
Because they are upset and feel the need to express themselves as such.

A dog doesn't know any better than to shit where it's owner walks it. Do I take umbrage to the fact that I stepped in dog shit on my way out one day and blame it on the fucking dog and the fucking owner? Sure. (I happen to live in a building where I signed a document just like EVERYONE else that lives there that says, "I am not and will not harbor a dog." yet there seems to be lots of not-a-dogs that ride up the elevator with me from time to time.)

It's the same with Customer Service Representatives when trying to get support, banking, etc. The cashier or sales rep that took someone else before you even though you should be first.

It's what people do.

Just because we're talking about children they shouldn't be subject to someone's frustration and wrath to the same degree that they feel they need to? I don't think so, not in my world, maybe yours.
