DH and I were in Target shopping today when we hear the incessant honking of a toy horn. After the 5th or 6th honk I hear the plea of the father, stop that right now.

Of course the honking continued.

Did Dad walk over and take the horn away from this child. Nope. He just walked away and this kid continued honking it.

Fortunately, as I started to walk over to tell her to knock it the hell off, her mother walked right up to her and ripped the damn thing out of her hands. She asked her what in the world was she doing and why didn't she stop when her father told her too? Little girl mumbled something and mom said "I'll deal with you when we get home".

At least one of them was parenting their kid. Dirol

Thank god. I hate encountering kids in public places that are just running wild and the parents are just dazed off wandering around.

Me too.

I pissed off a parent in a grocery store earlier this year when I had the nerve to tell her child sitting on the meat wasn't a very nice thing to do.

Yes....this person's child was sitting on the chicken in the meat section of the store. I walked over as if I was picking something out and asked this kid if she would move. When she stood up I said "I don't think it's a good idea for you to sit on other people's food"

Mom got indignant and said I was mean. I said I wouldn't have had to say anything if she had taught her kids some manners and that resting their dirty bums on other peoples food is disgusting.

Then I asked the management to throw out the meat she was sitting on. :sick:

Ah the mess of the "honey don't DO that" or HDDT parent. We all know and see them! Kid is running wild and instead of actually doing something you hear "HONEY DON'T DO THAT!" or "Honey please stop that" last HDDT parent I saw was last week. I was waiting in line and this kid kept slamming the cart into a display. Of course mom was PLEADING "honey don't do that, mommy doesn't like when you do that" I had to laugh when an older woman (grandmotherly type) spoke up and said "Ah another so called productive member of socicety in the works"
