Sorry for wanting to keep your kid safe
I've been creeping around for a while but because my job is taking care of kids at a large company, I don't have too many stories 
It's an after-school program where the kids are picked up from their schools then watched and occupied through many activities until their parents pick them up. The parents have to come in, sign them out, and walk out with them - simple, yes?
But this one parent runs up to the door, says "Hi, I'm here for so-and-so" to the person watching the door, then runs back out to the car. The parent has been told frequently, if not every single time that she CANNOT DO THAT because it's against the Company's policy and it is UNSAFE for their child to walk out on their own because Pedobear might come along and snatch their kid!
When the CW who watches the door for the parents are able to get a word to the parent before disappearing, she says that we will not send the child out alone and that they've been told the same thing over and over.
SP: Sucky Parent
CW: CW
SP: "But my other child is sleeping in the car"
CW: "I understand but/ I'm sorry but/ We have told you before that - you have to wait for your child"
SP: "I cannot leave my other child alone in the car" (but you're doing so right at that moment and wasting more time by arguing. do you not know that even the 30 seconds you're using to run to the door and back, is enough time for Pedobear to come along, open the door, and take said child? I've seen news stories where Pedobear/desperate wanna-be mother have snatched babies and children from the car when the parent is RIGHT THERE NEXT TO THE CAR)
CW: "We won't have your child leave unattended. Please get your child and come in and wait, we also need you to sign your child out" (so many parents NEVER sign their kids out unless reminded. It's simple. While waiting for said child/children, just make put down your initials! It's not such a HUGE thing but it really helps keep track how many kids are left, especially when there's 100+ of them)
SP eventually makes a catbutt face, goes back to car and gets the sleeping child, comes back and glares at both CW and me (hey, I was just standing there dealing with child -who was either hurt or in trouble, can't remember- but I'm not involved with the situation?! why are you glaring at me?), signs out the child and finally waits at the door.
Geez, glaring and making cat-butt faces and arguing over the SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD is ridiculous! If you don't want to deal with it, don't leave your kid in an after-school program!
-btw, though, I absolutely LOVE the child of the parent. so SO cute and well behaved-
