Eons ago now, in my youth, WalMart used to be open 24 hours a day, making it a viable option for hanging out late and observing other local weirdos. One night, around midnight, a group of much younger kids were there, running around and being loud and making a mess and generally threatening to “ruin it for everybody.” When they ran past us at full speed, narrowly missing my friend, she muttered under her breath, “Fall. Fall. FALL!” And in that very instant one of them tripped and face-planted in the middle of the aisle in the women’s clothing section, very nearly going full scorpion. We would have laughed otherwise, but we were both eyes-wide in amazement at my friend’s newly discovered magic powers. The end.
Not even late night but a young kid was standing in the cart screaming about something and all the mom did was yell at them telling them to stop, while the kid was Stomping around. I was just NOPING OUT of the section when the mom shoves the cart, lo and behold the kid shifted to the end and ragdolled out. Thr only saving grace was they were in the clothing section which was carpeted so the kid just kidnapped bounced.
Why do people hate kids playing? Legit question?
I don’t hate kids. I hate the parents who bring under 10 kids to a brewery, the kids pull 5 board games out at once, dump them on a table then leave it there and go run up and down the corn hole boards screaming and throwing the bags at each other while mommy and daddy get sloshed.
The best bar and the best local brewery in my area both got gentrified into “family friendly” establishments and they suck ass compared to what they once were.
Unfortunately, still much better than most of my other options.
Idk why you go to bar where kids are allowed but ok
… In a restaurant?
Playplace? It’s literally in the name…
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Nothing in the OP says anything about a “playplace.”
Ah yes. Take it out on the children instead of the incapable parents who shouldn’t have got them in the first place.
Not quite what’s being described here - the waiter’s done nothing and most likely would not be fast enough to prevent the situation from happening. It just happened.
That being said, this would be a very fucked up reaction to a kid most likely dying if it were real life - however,( missed the last part where the little shit’s fine) most of us understand this is just hyperbole for the sake of dark humor, and not to be taken seriously.You think banging their head and falling is going to result in them “most likely dying”?
You have some strange ideas about how mortal kids are.
Hitting one’s head off the corner of a table has in fact been enough to kill folks, yes. You’d be surprised to learn how goddamn little it takes to kill someone by accident.
It’s possible but not “most likely”. Humanity would not have survived if we died every time we bumped our head.
Especially if the kid “started crying” after, they’re probably fine.
the last time I went to my favorite burger place, not a fast food chain, a local place, owner operated. Some shitty little kid was running around the booths screaming.
There’s a homeless camp very close by that place and when I tried to warn the mom that homeless, sometimes drunk and/or high homeless people go in there she calmly but angrily told me “don’t tell me how to parent my kids”
not long after that a homeless lady came in there looking around the booths for any forgotten items to steal, the stupid lady still didn’t wrangle her kid to stay near her
Imagine the terrible lessons that child is going to learn growing up, crazy shit like “homeless people aren’t a threat” and “dont get bullied by random dudes lecturing you in public”
Oh no, the homeless?! 😱 Did they staggered while walking and shouted cccooooooiiiiiins, at least in your head?
Good thing you were looking out for that child.
