It was a hot day, and humid too. I was in my mother's car, and it didn't have a/c. I was boiling. She was driving, but I guess she was used to it.
Anyway, we were at the red light waiting, and the car next to us had its windows rolled down, with a mom and her friend in the front, and a little baby in the back in a car seat. The baby was screaming its head off, and the mom paid no attention and continued gabbing with her friend.
After a while I was getting tired of hearing the baby screaming one LONG continous scream, so I turned to give the mom an evil look, when she suddenly turned around and screamed, "SHUT THE F*** UPPPP!"
I've heard parents yell this at their children in stores, movies, everywhere, but never to a little baby! I was shocked and so was my mom. The baby went right on yowling it's little head off while the mom continued to swear and call it names and threaten to strangle it.
Finally she was aware of being goggled at, and her eyes met mine before her light turned green and she sped off, driving like a maniac down the road. I mean, one second she was there and then she was gone. I'd be surprised if that poor baby made it there in one piece!
ANother time, I was at McD's in line waiting for my order to be ready, and this little hyper active kid was running around the floor they had just mopped, weaving around the signs that said caution: floor is wet and had a picture of a guy falling. I watched in silence as the kid ran around, screeching.
The mom, who was sitting down like I was, chided her kid, "Now, stop it! Look, everyone is starin' at YOU."
I thought, No everyone is staring at YOU, for your poor parenting skills!
I don't like going to the movie theaters because of all the weirdos that yap. None bigger than this thick heavyset guy, with his date, 35+ years old and had his jeans sagging so low past his knees, and big oversized dirty grey shirt over that. I was watching with a friend of mine a horror movie, and this dumb guy was sitting four rows behind and we could still hear everything that dumbshit said. His girlfriend just sat there and simpered, didn't even try to shush him up. A lot of people complained, and he just swaggered out, still blabbing and laughing his fool head off. SOme people really need to be hung by their ankles. I felt sorry for the movie theater CS desk that night.
And last but not least, was my own mom! She's never worked in CS before and has a really big temper and a really big accent. When I was getting my oil change for my car done, I mentioned the air pressure tire light was on, and my mom butted in. She started yelling about how none of her other daughter's car's air light went on, and that something was wrong. The clerk tried to reassure her that there was an easy remedy, but she didn't listen. I tried to calm her down, big mistake. She started yelling at me in spanish and english how wimpy I was and that I never cared enough to do anything. Okkkk... Like I said, she's never worked before in CS and probably never will. But I have, and I'd rather jump off a cliff than act the way she acted with the clerk. I apologized later, and the clerk said, "Yeah don't worry about it, my mom's the same." It was SOOOOO embarassing!

Holy cow, I get that parents need quiet time too, but....wow.
