Anecdotal story of my own. Packed Movie theater roughly 5 years ago. Two kids ages 11 and 9 probably with their parents sitting in front of me and my family. Kids are being loud, throwing popcorn and disrupting the entire area. I tap the dad on the shoulder and ask him if he could please tell his kids to be quiet. He gives me the new age response of they’re just kids having fun. I said well your kids fun is disrupting my family’s ability to watch the movie. He then proceeds to give me a childish psssshh and eye role. I said your decision buddy I hope you enjoyed wasting $50 bucks. I get management and had them thrown out. Other people in the area backed up my claim. I then tell my kids actions have consequences regardless of your age.

I totally am, but why should I spend my hard earned money just to let some douche canoe and his shitty kids ruin it for me. It’s called common courtesy and it seems to be lost on a lot of people these days.

As much as i felt your pain(kids screaming,etc), you should of politely asked their parents if they could do something.



As much I feel the pain of upbraiding you for a perfectly reasonable post, you should have not written should of.

Woke up on the coach this morning feeling terrible

What was the name of the coach you woke up on and was the coach male or female? Maybe you should feel more badly about that!

Now you’ll know next time the more appropriate adult response is to discreetly ask to speak to a manager.


I know you’re joking, but it’s crazy how accurate this is

When I was managing a restaurant, I would have so many spineless pussies approach me asking me to take care of noisy kids.

“Have you tried talking to them or their parents?”

“Well no.”

Sad.

It's been my experience that kids take the message much better when it comes form someone besides their parents.

Let me get this straight? You ignored the parents close-by and screamed at some 5-8 year old kids in public because they were misbehaving? What is wrong with you? Enjoy your time on the couch baw. You deserve it.

I have the remedy for unruly toddlers. My son was a whiner at a restaurant table. His older sisters were well mannered so I had no experience with a demon child. He started making a fuss one night and was drawing looks from adjacent tables. No toy would pacify whatever the hell it was that sent him into his most current state of high chair lunacy. So after trying to pacify him by toys, crackers, finger man climbing his body trick, and even being a court funny face jester....I gave up. I looked him in the eyes and said “okay..so you want attention? Okay buddy, let’s get you some real attention..” I stood up and unstrapped him from his seat and lifted him up and over my head as high as I could. Turning a full circle I said loudly “Here he is!! He wants your attention. Take a good look! Here he is!” He immediately got quite and shut up when the whole restaurant was looking at him and me. I put him back in his seat and he suddenly became well mannered. After that, the only thing I had to do when he started that crap was to say “oh! somebody wants to get lifted up for attention. Is that what you are asking son? You want me to lift you up?” The behavior would change immediately and the other patrons and my family could dine together in peace.

The kids are irrelevant. If you keep embarrassing your wife you will get served with divorce papers. See if you can stop drinking for awhile and go to church or a gym or something. Try and get your shite together. If you can’t go to some AA meetings. I had to quit drinking and I am obviously still a jerk. But I got better. Good luck brother.

If I was their parents, you would’ve caught hell from me. I understand where you’re coming from, but those kids aren’t yours and you have 0 right to be a dick. Especially since they were so young. Yes the parents should’ve handled it, but if it bothers you that much, just finish your drink and go somewhere else


WHAT? Nah frick that bullshite. Control your little demon seeds. Nobody should have to put up with your bastards out at a restaurant while they're just trying to have a peaceful night out. Thats just fricking rude. Control your little frick prizes or go to fricking chuck e cheese with the rest of the heathens.
