I get fed up with the waiter or waitress that keeps interrupting me every 5 minutes to see if my food was ok until I said "If you don't see me flinging it against the wall.. IT'S FINE!"

Personally? I think its great he told the kid to shut the fuck up. It showed right away what a faker the kid was. Any mother who lets her child manipulate her in that manner, well, the kid will grow up to be pretty awful as well. I NEVER allowed that type behavior in public with any of my children. Even if I had to ditch my basket, I took the kid out side immediately. Im not saying it was easy. It wasnt. It sucked to have to leave a resturant or store and not finish what you started. But who said parenting would be easy!

the one that gets me is when i'm at a restaurant and the kids in the booth behind me on either side think it's cute to stare or pick their noses or whatever and the parents look over and think i should think it's cute because they do.  NOT!


I hear you.. that's when I lock my eyes on the parent until they become uncomfortable and correct the situation.  I make my point with silence quite effectively.  (It looks like my 3rd pic in my profile! )LOL


yup, i think that look in the 3rd pic would definitely do it rofl!

I can’t say for sure whether the Mother here was lost on what to do. But I can tell you that I have three sons’; my middle son was the most challenging as parent.

Prone to temper tantrums from 9mnths old until two and half we had moments at restaurants, toy stores, department stores and numerous public places. However never was I out of control of my child and his actions.

During some of his hysterics I would simply stand him up (he throw himself on the floor during these fits) walk out and take him home. Yet at other times I would ignore his fit and have him trailing me through the grocery store crying and demanding I buy him whatever he was fixated upon.

These where the times I could not leave and simply had to deal with the embarrassment of a child doing everything in his power to try and force me to relent. Since I had said “NO” I was in control and would not be manipulated by a child. Prior to this child I had an older boy that was easy and followed each rule put in place and was a content child.

Before I had a son who acted this way I was of the opinion that such behavior was due to the parent. Of course many children do act in such a way because of the parents, but there are those children with disabilities who have impulse issues and often fixate on an item acting against all they know and all the rules in an effort to achieve their goal.

At his worst moment my son through a tantrum at a toy store, banging his head on the floor, screaming with ear piercing volume, while I was kneeled down next to him and calmly was telling him to stop. The fit became so intense that he bashed his head so hard he blooded his nose and blackened his eye. As I was in the middle of trying to pick him up off the floor a young man of about 20 walked up and stated I should learn to control my child. I snapped back, I was in control that’s why he was acting this way.

When a child has impulse problems there is more than just the “fit” happening, there is a power struggle going on. The struggle isn’t just between parent and child but also within the child for self control.  The issues of who is in charge and who will win, come down to the parents ability to not back down and at times endure the embarrassment of others frowning upon them with intolerance, without knowledge of what is really happening.

If a child’s behavior (tantrum) affects your happiness then I suggest either walk away or offer to help. Not all children are lucky enough to come into the world perfect and without flaws; some have metal disabilities that aren’t easily seen to a stranger passing by. Passing judgments on both the child and the parent without true knowledge is ignorance on the one judging.

From the parent of three boys all perfect in their own way.

jesi,

I disagree with what you state that when kids scream and throw crazy tantrums that they have a "disability" as a child I had no disabilities other than HDH or being hyperactive but children are emotional and when they really want something they will do what it takes to get it. I unfortunately was like that myself and did not have any disability to speak of. In any case I think that while the parent may show control by not giving in to the attention the child seeks, ultimately the patrons at the restaurant, airplane or supermarket do not have to put up with it.

as far as annoying people, not sure if I am alone on this one, but since I work in New York City and walk a good 5 blocks to work, I dislike slow people who take up the whole sidewalk and are not old or have a disability...makes me want to slap them on the back of the head...or the silly tourists walking around at 8:00 am, couldn't they do their sightseeing at 10 am when I am already at work? I don't see the point of getting up at 8 am unless as a tourist you paid for a tour and those are the hours you can do it. I also get annoyed by the bike riders in NYC who think they are cars...one time one of them came inches from running over my foot and he was saying "don't mind me crossing here" to which I replied "dont mind me punching you on the head" specially if he ruined my suit...big no-no. I dunno maybe the city life brought out the nastiness in me? lol...

I had a disability as a kid RBS, aka Rotten Brat Syndrome.  I was your basic holy terror




GreedyTop -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/14/2008 1:09:37 PM)

maybe, because I work in cust. serv.... when I am a tourist.. I tend to pay attention to my surroundings.. if I see someone who is obviously on their way somewhere.. I move outta the way..

maybe it's just me

I was at the store the other day, and there was this kid on the floor, throwing a fit
I looked at him, and said, in my meanest calm voice "Shut the fuck up"
he looked at me, fear very evident on his face, and shut the fuck up
his ma, instead of thanking me, started yelling at me (ungreateful twunt!), so I said to her, in the same voice "Get out of here or im going to eat you both"

she ran off

it was great


did anyone else find this somewhat erotic?

HypnoticDan -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/14/2008 3:53:35 PM)

As a kid I had rage problems and I'm lucky I wasn't put on drugs. I got in fights, bit people, all kinds of crazy stuff. Turns out that bowl of milk with my cereal every morning as setting me up to be both half-asleep (so i had no decnt comebacks) and bad-tempered (so i resorted to my fists).

I typed out the worst thing I ever did to make a brat shut up but, looking back on it, I'd rather not share it. It was totally legal but I definitely gave that kid bad dreams.

Recently I was hanging out watching a film with a pair of brothers and one of them started trying to have an "argument" with me. I use quotes because he likes to pick a subjective point, like which movie is "less gay" and then spend the next two hours insulting anyone who will speak up. I explained how I'd seen him do it to others, this was the first time he tried that shit with me, and change the subject or I was leaving. He wouldn't, so I did. Maybe it's just me but I'd say both brothers respect me more now and he's never tried it again. That was also the last time I've ever seen him get shitfaced.

one more bit of off-topicness to go before I attempt to help this get back on-track

the kid? he was 8-9 yrs old... wasnt throbing at the mouth, or throwing a fit, he was screaming that he didnt want to be at the store
the mom? she wasnt calmly waiting for him to quit, she was looking around trying to find the father (incidentally, I found out the other day that they are my neighbors)




General guideline is that if a person acts as though they were much younger than they are, there's a reason for it. If you saw a 25 year old or a 45 year old having a tantrum, throwing themselves down on the floor you would not assume they had bad parents but that there was a cause for this either mental illness or illegal drug use. If a person below the age of majority acts ten years younger than their apparent age, the reason is usually some kind of brain disorder. Possibly developmentally delayed, possibly mood disorders, possibly autistic among others. Would you curse at someone who had cancer? Then you shouldn't curse at someone with mental illness, especially someone who has shown that they don't have the emotional age to match their physical age. Or do you normally curse at toddlers also?

I'm missing your point here

at what point is a 9yr old kid acting like a brat automatically assumed to have mental issues?
I was a total shit as a kid, yet just as mentally healthy as anyone else

I agree that if someone is acting much younger than they are all of the time there is generally an underlying problem, assuming that they cant control it, I have cared for quite a few members of my family that had issues of the same type (Including my uncle that unfortunately was part of a control group where they tried to use shock treatment to make him straight)... But this isnt a case like that, its a 9 yr old ACTING like a 9 yr old... not a particuarilly well-behaved 9 yr old, but a 9 yr old, using real words, not pissin himself, not foaming at the mouth, not exibiting any other symptoms of a disorder, just exibiting all of the classic sympoms of a pissy kid on a hot day in a boring place.

Why is it that the shortest queue in a supermarket almost always has the most retards? Can anyone explain this phenomena?

Why is it that the queue you didn't choose is full of intelligent people which moves quicker? You're standing there and watching them. They're unloading their shopping trolleys like there's no tomorrow, they've got the money ready, or they always remember the PIN of their credit cards. Human examples of perfection it seems. Meanwhile you're standing behind a load of people who have fogotten their credit card details, they can't find their purses or wallets, they've selected items which haven't been coded right, or they have to unload their shopping trolleys in some secret very organized order. They search the entire trolley looking for a tin of carrots because that is the only appropriate item (in their minds) to put behind the bag of sugar.

Why do people approach a 'baskets only' checkout with a full trolley? Or 'express checkout - 10 items or less' with 20-30 items? Can't people count?

Or the idiots that ram their trolleys into me and say 'Sorry I didn't see you'. Didn't see me? I'm just under six foot tall, 280lbs, quite visible, and you're less than two yards from me, and you didn't see me? Are you blind or something?

Why do some people still insist on paying for their items by cheque? And why is it when they do they tend not to have a pen with them? Is it really too much to go to am ATM and withdraw the cash? Or use a credit or debit card? And speaking of credit cards, how come you have a credit card but cannot remember the PIN? I sometimes wonder if the only reason someone has six or seven credit cards is because they are hopeless at remembering PIN numbers.

I have been banned from a couple of supermarkets. Once was because I used a cafe and chose chicken fried rice, only there was no chicken in it. Well, two pieces. So I take my plate back to the counter and tell them that there's no chicken in my chicken fried rice. The woman at the counter starts aguing with me telling me that there must be chicken because there was when it was being cooked. Her colleague comes and tells me I must be mistaken. I take the two pieces of chicken off the plate and put them to one side on the counter. I then upturn the plate and empty the rice onto the counter and tell them to sort through the rice and show me where the pieces of chicken are. I am escorted out of the store by a security guard and told not to come back.

Oh and note to some parents - a supermarket is a supermarket, not a playground. Why not try feeding your babies before bringing them along shopping? I'm not a parent, but even I can work out why a baby is crying. Babies generally don't understand the concept of shopping, and a baby crying because he or she is hungry clearly isn't going to shut up when you go 'Shhh'. Kids generally don't understand things until they experience them, for example that a collision between your own face and the side of a heavy supermarket trolley is generally rather painful.

These are the times I just wish the fire alarm would go off. I really do. I refuse to enter a supermarket anytime on Saturday.

Another experience where some people get on my tits is public transport, especially here in London. One thing which never ceases to amaze me in London, supposedly a world city, is how many village idiots you come across who clearly have no connection to a village.

Take escalators for example on London Underground. Very simple, stand on the right, walk on the left. You've even got signs up in clear simple English all over the place. But no, because you have people on the escalator standing side by side, boyfriend just has to stand beside his girlfriend because maybe standing behind her or in front of her for the 20-30 seconds would make life unbearable. When you tell them 'excuse me' they look at you as if you've just arrived from Planet Tharg.

Similarly you come off the escalators and onto the walkways and there's more signs 'KEEP RIGHT'. Why then when approaching a platform do I almost get trampled by fifty or so people who've just got off a train and are not keeping right?

Oh and another thing - Oyster Cards - London's electronic card system for pre-paid public transport.

The barriers can only handle one transaction at a time. Please try to wait until the other person has got through the barriers before touching your Oyster Card on the reader. I don't particularly enjoy being tailgated by someone breathing down my neck just to get through the barriers. And why do some dorks feel the need to block the barrier completely by touching the sensor repeatedly and invoking Code 22? Just what the rest of us need during a busy rush hour, one more barrier blocked by someone's idiocy.

Then there's the situation when a bus, tube or train gets full that everybody has got to stand by the doors. I haven't seen any signs which read 'Please stand by the doors and obstruct other passengers' but this is invariably what people tend to do 9 times out of 10. Why?

But when the train is completely packed when I say there's no room left on the carriage there isn't. Period.

This isn't my fault. What do you want from me? To get off the Tube and let you on? I'm sorry but you got there too late. Tough titty! Why make such a big song and dance about it when the next train is coming in 2 minutes?

And then you have simple logic.

The British Isles is famous for rain.

It rains a lot in the UK. It rains a lot in London.

Therefore, if you are operating a railway in the UK you safeguard it against rain and flooding, right?

Ah but no, because you see there's such a thing called the British mentality.

The British mentality dictates that we need an asshole to manage or run something (prime example, our Government).

Therefore when it rains, things stop working on the railways, parts of the system get flooded, lines have to close, trains stop running, sometimes replacement buses are drafted, a network which costs billions of pounds to run ceases to function, and millions of journeys are f*cked up.

ok, this is my first time to post in these forums... but i can add something to this topic...

i'm in a wheelchair, manual one at that... and i've managed to figure out how to push a buggy infront of me, and keep my chair going at the same time - and about an hour of pushing a buggy around - i get kind of tired.

yeah, there's been A L O T of times i'd be in an isle, and have to figure out which i'm going to get, but can't figure it out because i got a woman behind me on a cell phone giving me a go to hell look - i'm very hard of hearing, and if i don't have my hearing aids in, LOL i can't hear a dadgum thang! LOL well, then i'd start to go and someone would come in the isle from the end infront of me, and just completely ignores the fact that i'm tapping my fingers and looking both ways with some good PACING action... heehee, and then finally i have to open up and say kind of loud "EXCUSE ME, SORRY FOR BEING A BUMP IN YOUR ROAD, BUT LETS SEE YOU SIT IN A MANUAL CHAIR AND PUSH A BUGGY WITH YOUR LEFT ARM ONLY.... "  heehee, the woman behind me and the guy infront of me look behind them and back out from the isle.

on the streets i roll backwards, because i keep my eyes facing the cars coming, so when they do come, i can turn into a ditch, driveway, or sidewalk to get out of the way... with the way my back is, i can't push the tires to go forwards with my hands, so i push off backwards with my feet, and if i put my mind to it, i can go faster than a power wheelchair. and for the past year (as long as i've been having to go backwards) people have been asking me the same questions (and usually it's the same people asking it) ... "why don't you turn around and face the right direction, and push with  your hands?" and twice i've pulled up to a bench or sidewalk and tell them to get in my chair and go a block without turning around to roll backwards. they kept saying i didn't need to get an additude with them, but hey, when the SAME people ask the SAME stupid question, even after you give them the SAME answer for a year - it KIND OF gets annoying. grr grr LOL.

then there's those people i could "give them their sign"... musta gone to "university of stoop and *id*" LOL, i'll be getting ready to check out, doesn't matter where - and if i have any PET ITEMS to pay for, they ask what kind of pet i have. NOT KIDDING! i'll have kitty chow in the buggy and people will still ask what kind of pet do i have. once i got really good and rude to someone who asked that... i said "Nope, it's my favorite snack for when i'm watching movies, it's cheaper than bread, healthier than icecream, and even helps me cut back on buying real groceries." that has cleared the isle 3 times! LOL  another time i said, "i'm part kitty, i purr in my sleep, and i throw up human food" HAHAHAHAHA

if people can't take a joke, that isn't my problem. i'm hardly ever serious, and i love to "cut up" just for the fun of it. and sometimes i'll sarcasticly do something as a joke that makes other people laugh and say "molly, your bad!" heehee...

one time i was at dollar general - checking out, and i had bought the "makings" for a grilled-cheese sandwich - bread, cheese, and butter - right? LOL.... the guy infront of me looked at me and pointed to my few items and he said "ya know, if you put the cheese in the middle, butter the outsides of the bread and fry it - it makes for a great fullfilling snack." LOL duh! thus why i bought them, LOL.... but what did i say to him? nothing - i pretended my hearing aid wasn't turned on, and i reached up to touch it, and then i said "what?" he said "oh, i was just saying how you could make a grilled cheese sandwich with those three things you got." i nodded my head and said "oh." then he continued to repeat his first statement, and i interrupted him... "do you want a gold metal, or a silver one? or do you want me to make you one and shove it up your ass while it's still hot?" he shut up and turned around. LOL

jlf1961, if you want any other ideas for people in public who lack common sense and/or people who just want to annoy the next person in line - i have tons of ideas... LOL

laters all,

jlf1961 -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/15/2008 11:55:25 AM)

Here is a good one,

I use a cane to walk, well last week in WALMART (look, I know Im going to heaven, because I have been in hell, everytime I go to WALMART) this young woman, about 19, asked me why I had the cane.

I looked her straight in the eyes, and replied, "because if I didnt I would be flat on my back looking up your skirt...."  and then decided to see how red she would turn when I pointed something very obvious to anyone looking at her, wearing a white, silk skirt....

"By the way, miss, if you are going to wear silk, either wear underwear or shave your bush.  I mean, you can see the distinct dark patch from fifty feet."

It was indeed a pleasure to see her go from composed to tomato red in less than a second, I mean you could see her blushing through her tan.

What was even funnier, the fact that every guy behind me started laughing.....

I have no tolerance for Doms that are: (1) weak followers submissive types that place too much responsibility on the sub to make up for their lack of domination skills (2) arrogant insecure and think they're god  and must keep putting down their sub in order to build themselves up (3) abusive and not careful in their weilding of power



Roselaure -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/15/2008 2:37:53 PM)

I live 24/7/365 in a beach community that is peaceful and serene 9 months of the year.  Then the summer people arrive with their sense of entitlement and their badly behaved UMs for what appears to be the express purpose of making my life a living hell.  My town is their playground and god forbid they should have to lose 5 minutes of beach time waiting on line for a prescription or a sandwich.  My idea is that the permanent residents should be permitted to run one of them over per season.  Just one, we are not uncililized.
