I guess I could title this post "I Dissed A Girl And I liked It!" LOL

[Sheldonrs]

Riding the train to work this morning, sitting across from a "mother" and her approx. 5 year old daughter. Girl starts looking at my rings, telling me they're so pretty. Girl tries to take my new ring (Thanks Natalie!) off my finger. I pull my hand away and tell her not to touch them. Mother gets pissed and tells me she just wants to play with it and she'll give it right back. She won't break it. I tell her I don't take them off until I get home from work and they aren't toys. Mother says, "you don't have to be a dick about it! Just let her play with it!" I tell her, "FINE! I want to play with your kidneys! I won't break them and I'll give them right back!" Mother and daughter move to another seat at the other end of the car, kid whining and mother calling me an asshole..

Picture of my new ring (the clear quartz stone):

What kind of psycho expects a stranger on the train to take off their jewelry and let a kid play with it? Oh, right, the people we complain about on this site. Current faith in humanity -42,342 and counting.

Just have her give you a $500 (or more) security deposit that will be returned when the ring is returned.

The level of self-centered entitlement boggles the mind.

Mom should be providing toys for her kid herself and not making outrageous demands on strangers to give up their belongings to shut the spoiled brat up.

[MoonCat]

Haha no.

Weirdos.

"Here, let me hold your purse and play with whatever's in there. I'll give it back when I'm done. I won't break anything. Honest."

I wish I could say this is the first time I've heard a story like this.



Woman's ring gets ripped off her finger by impatient customer, daughter picks it up and decides she wants to keep it:

That's insane and sounds like the beginning of a scam. Kid pockets it and suddenly Mom is like "... what ring? Don't talk to my child!"

By the way, your rings are gorgeous, you have good taste.

I was once on a plane where the parents expected me to let their kid play with my laptop. WTF?! NO!

Geez! That beats my kid story! And this is why we can't have nice things! LOL

Thanks! :-) I'm proudest of the middle one. I bought the stone in Alaska and designed the ring for it. :-)

But... but then they might have to actually pay attention to their little pwecious!

I know this is a joke, but I actually had a woman say that her daughter wanted to play with my purse! You see, my purse has a Rarity keyring and when the daughter saw it, she screamed "I want pony!" over and over (I was paying for groceries at the time), and that's when her mother made the request. I said, "No," and left with my shopping and I could still hear the child shrieking as I left. No doubt the mother was ranting about what a bitch I was for not just handing my purse over to her kid.

Well what did you expect? Rarity is best pony.
