ROFL Hilarious!

It's even worse on a plane when you're trying to sleep, just doze or read.

Buy Bose noise canceling headphones. I hear they work great from colleagues I fly with.

Or ask to have your seat moved.

Holy Shit I needed a good laugh. Sorry bout your breakfast but that was funny!

Agreed. We were never allowed to act up like that. Gotta' teach them some manners. Tho' infants and babies are another matter. They really can't help it but feeding them before arriving or first thing should help and not when they tired. That's just asking for trouble. On a plane, their ears hurt when landing, so shove a bottle in their mouth to let them suck to alleviate it.

You're joking, but there is a strong inverse correlation between kids and booze in breakfast joints in my experience.

Sometimes. We have a deal with our kids. At home, they can totally be themselves, provided they aren't name calling or being physical in a negative way. Otherwise, they can run, jump, yell, wrestle, cuss, be moody, etc. In other words, they are allowed the same right to be themselves at home as we are. In public, they are expected to behave pretty damn close to impeccably or they know they will face significant consequences. This has worked out extremely well for us and them.

Next time I suggest hitting up Westport for brunch.

The Corner Restaurant or Westport Cafe. You won't find any crying kids in those places, and food a billion times better.

I'm sure you think Overland Park is American Mecca, though, you milquetoast, homogenized, bud-light drinking, McDonalds eating son of a bitch Midwestern muggle.

You disgust me.

I was more thinking the booze was for Tooge.

Did you know I-Hop puts flour in their omelettes to make look fluffy?

I was shocked to find that out when some colleagues of mine stopped at one after a long-drive business trip. I normally never eat there. Don't know whey they just can't use eggs. Makes me wonder what else restaurants like that put in their food to look better.

Oh and maybe give the kids some antifreeze popsicles next time

To be completely honest, I never want to see someone under 18 in any situation. They can't hold a conversation, run around incessantly, stare inappropriately at me, and the 17 year-old girls don't have any type of warning ID so I don't stare at them inappropriately.

People with kids should never take them anywhere but McDonald's, burger king or Chuck-e-cheese until said kids turn 25

Take em to strip clubs. Music so loud can't hear the crying.

Make sure the club has a kitchen. Problem solved.

They are great if you fly a lot but mostly just cut the engine noise. If you have people loudly talking behind you it’s a little dulled but still annoying.

If you fly a lot still highly recommend but unfortunately not complete magic.

Bose ones are expensive. The owner of the company bought everyone smaller sound reduction headphones and one gal told me she could barely hear some crying or acting up kids.

I even got a pair and I am not an employee. Only I'm afraid to wear them, feeling I'd conk out miss hearing we landed and end up someplace else. It's nearly happened before without them.

Was there not a sign up stating that the residents of Holt are not welcome? If there wasn't then hang one to make sure that it doesn't happen again

I’ve mostly gotten lucky with crying or don’t notice it anymore since I got the Bose headphones (hear Sony’s are better) They don’t block people talking by design though.

As long as you are on a destination flight the flight attendants will wake you up to get out.

And if the workers are mostly single moms, the kids might be chick magnets.

They tend to all have a male friend named John.

I tend to agree. Place like the Big Biscuit. Expect crying kids. Go to reasonable classy restaurant, even a chain like Longhorn or Cheesecake Factory on a Friday and Saturday night. I more so see your point.

Never go to Cheesecake Factory

Just empty your wallet on the table and the clean up crew will be thrilled.

I was at a sports bar once watching the NFL games in a big booth and a couple with 3 kids sat down next to us. The kids were crawling on the floor over to and under our booth, running up and down the aisle, playing with toys on the floor tripping the waitstaff on several occasions. It was the biggest shit show and the couple was perfectly fine with it.</br></br>Junior wound up accidentally wearing an 7% ABV IPA the last time he crawled under the booth.

fat people riding mobility scooters thru the grocery store isle piss me off more :D

It's getting worse. I've seen two separate fat people riding segways down the sidewalk, presumably on their way home from work or school.

This country is going to be so fat in 20 years.

there is one guy in this town. about 350 lbs. he's got his orange triangle flag, hi vis vest with reflectors, and a bike helmet. he tools into the shops, drives every where. he will drop things and people will pick them up off the floor and hand to him. then he will drive to the express checkout, put everything on the belt from the scooter (you can't put anything on the conveyor because the scooter is more like an atv). then after all that, he will drive his scooter beyond the checkout in the middle of the walkway for all the other shops, park, get up and pay, place groceries back into scooter, then drive off.

one day ima gonna leave my foot under his wheel and then i can tool around the shops in one myself. then i will make it my life long mission to road rage with him in the fat people isles. :D

This. If you can't handle it, you're probably the one that shouldn't be going out to eat.

I hope your kids understand this, because I sure don't. Do they have a decoder ring?

ROFL

It is a disgusting problem and it pisses me off more when they sit there stopped and blocking an aisle.


It has already happened. Fast food is the norm and the majority of people don't take responsibility for their own health. Just keep shoving that shit in and sit on that ass.

Particularly at a McDonald

I'm not passing judgment on people in scooters because I may possibly need one someday. So I'll reserve my disdain for children, because I doubt that I'll ever become a child again.

ehhh...kids are kids and all, but sometimes the little ****ers turn into a ringwraith from lord of the rings and should be dealt with accordingly.

consider this an advance warning for if you ever do need a scooter :D

I rarely go out to eat. The last time, I walked in and there were about 20 people in a large group and quite a few kids. I sat as far away as possible around a corner. 3 of the little ****ers decided to chase each other around squealing. About the 4th pass, I shouted HEY at the top of my lungs (I’m a little loud) and they ran away. A Dad came around the corner and I smiled and waved. They didn’t come squealing past any more.

Or:

Yeah crying kids at restaurants are annoying as hell. I'll add going to movies and these stupid parents bring them to PG 13 movies (face palm)
I remember seeing Jurassic World in theaters and it was hands down the worst theater going experience of my life. This idiot couple brought TWO of their little ones to it (one was a baby that wouldn't stop crying through out the film ). I wanted to throw my popcorn at them so badly .

Moral of the story , GET A ****ING BABYSITTER!!!!11

Kids and dinosaurs thats a hard pass for me. If I ever did want to see that one its netflix all the way.

I'm not usually one to complain about such things, but the last time I went to the theater [Force Awakens]. It was really nice with barcaloungers and whatnot [B&B's, Lee's Summit].

But the concessions apparently sell their nachos with the chips in those clear crinkly bags.

Throughout the entire first half of the movie I heard every moment of the consumption of a plate of nachos from the person in the lounger next to me.

The crinkle,
the grasp,
the pull,
the dip,
the chomp,
the chew.

Dear Lord, did it set me on edge.

I mention it largely because it arose out of the theater's concession decisions, not the particular fault of the customer.

I HATE when the person behind me kicks my seat constantly—same on an airplane.

I'm just glad nobody was hurt this morning.

Don't bring small children out to eat.

it's irresponsible if you're not locking your children up somewhere while you go out.

LMAO

The children’s Kennels are a safe space.

Were that many of the kids named Mary?

Actually, I’m complaining about the non acting parent. Kids will be kids. Mine cried at restaurants but I dealt with it.
This is an interesting social examining thread. Half the people are like “ deal with the idiots that make life miserable for others”, and half are like “ those idiots need to deal with the reason they make life miserable for others”. Interesting

I had the ranchero omelet. It was just ok. Look, when I cook Bs and Gs at home or an omelet at home it’ll kick big biscuits ass. The fam was sleeping, I almost never eat breakfast out, and I wanted to chill and enjoy breakfast and a cup of coffee. That’s it.

Actually I went to corner cafe in liberty first. Pretty long wait. Then I thought Ginger Sues in liberty. Great place. In hindsight, shoulda gone there.

Lock them in a cage until they're grown up. Problem solved !!

Thank you

Grown men that refer to themselves as “BAMF” should probably yield from throwing cyber insults. I’d bet my left leg you’re 250 pounds minimum.

Isn't it going the opposite direction wirh more of the population, especially younger, being cognizant of nutrition & eating clean?

get over yourself, mommie dearest.

keeping your half marathon record in perspective, by the time you need one they will be obsolete and you will be "transported" where you need to go by something similar to Star Trek.

I swear some of these people in Wallyworld just sit in those things seeking attention.

I seen a guy using one to retrieve carts from the parking lot a couple days ago.

He would pull a cart in then drive out for another.

Hell when we started having kids, we stopped eating out. Sometimes no matter how hard you try to get a young child to stop acting out, nothing works. Our youngest of four is 10 now and we generally go out once a month at this point.

Basically stemmed back to how I felt, and still feel about eating out and having to hear other people's children, sometimes the parents as well, yelling in public. You can only take so much before it just ruins your experience.

What it boils down to is how much more of a rude society we have become.

If you’d like to test this theory, I’m at every Chiefs home game. Shoot me a pm and I’ll let you know where we tailgate.

Lol

You should be easy to find. Just look for the tent with all the screaming kids. :)

Well there is...

Tooge is not invited. :)

You should have offered to pay for their meals. :shake:

Are you one of those guys that dress up in character for games?

The only thing that pisses me off more than an unruly bunch of spoiled screaming brats in a restaurant is when children are sitting at the bar. I go to the bar in restaurants as a single guy to drink adult beverages, have adult conversations and not be worried that my conversation could be offensive to some 10 year old child.

Bars are for adults-you'll get there soon enough kiddo!

My regular hangout chose to go no smoking and all ages. I used to go 6 days a week. I maybe go once a month now.

Nope. I’m also not one of the guys who brings a huge speaker and drowns out all conversation around me or the guy who drinks a thirty pack of Bud Light and murders someone sleeping in my car.

I’m the guy with extra food and whiskey for anyone who shows up.

I yelled that at a cow Saturday morning.

Kids in movie theaters, kids in restaurants, kids on airplanes, old people driving, it's all the same kind of annoying.

It most definitely isn't the 70s any longer - and that's too bad.

I got exactly 2 "Whippings" in my life. One by my Dad and one by my Mother. I deserved them both. We were raised (in the 50s and 60s) to believe that kids were to be "seen and not heard". Today? Kids have "rights". ROFL

And, the other posters are correct. Do that today (in public) and you will most likely be sent to Guantanamo for "terrorism".

All the kids I grew up that were worshipped by their parents didn’t turn out so good.

You sound like a good host then

It doesn't help when fat people are told it is OK to be fat or fat is beautiful.

But it's funny. Can it be done with a straight face?

I am sure it can.

Heck in my college dorm hallway, there was a poster proclaiming such a thing.

I laughed for a good minute.

I know when im seeking peace of mind and solace i.usually go to crowded breakfast places and pancake houses

Its practice for zen buddhism

Im pretty surprised people dont realize how annoying chip bags are. A temp in our office loved eating Fritos from the bag. I spent an excessive amount of my work day planning how I was going to kill him.

I do focus groups, and we give people a meal or snacks when they participate.
We specifically ban certain types of food based on their wrapper and/or crunchiness. They completely screw up the recording and observation.
