Screamers!!!

[blas]

I don't need a man to be handy. I always have a roll of duct tape in the car and one in the apartment. Not only that, I have so much redneck blood in me that I can pretty much rig up anything on my own without needing too much help

[DGoddessChardonnay]

But wait! If you call now she'll double the offer--that's two Man Muzzles, plus two shock collars, PLUS a bonus State of Kansas jello mold, all for $19.99.

Hurry! Operators are standing by.

But does that come with a remote control?

Preferably one with a MUTE button . . .

I will do customized muzzles and shock collars if you wish, but it will cost you extra.

I prefer payments made in cigarettes, alcohol, Dew, chocolate, or just cash

NSFW, enter at your own risk...

I'm not so sure about the portable kind...but I'm definetly working on the kind of shock collar that will fit around any man's neck or penis.

Dear, this stuff already exists:

But, find out if the patent exists.

This stuff won't be erotic in any type of way. Purely disciplinary.

There was a kid like that in PetCo the other day; alternating screaming and slaming the swinging portion of the shopping cart. I passed by a clerk and said

"I think children should be leashed and muzzled at all times"

he gave this choking giggle, then looked at me and said "Uh, are you joking?"

"No, no I'm not. You don't agree?"

"Uhhh...No?"


Heeheehee, he looked confused. By the way, that's my boyfriend's favorite saying.

Nice! But how about shock collars for the really bad ones. Reminds me of this from the South park movie

Here is a patent for a shocking collar.

And remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Red Green FTW!

I find my DH both handsome and handy - gentle nudge works better than the collar .

The child could have autism or some other kind of neurological or emotional problem.

Still, if a child screams in public, the parents should do whatever they can to calm them down, as long as it isn't abuse.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

How 'bout this:

A Mom at Safeway today gave her 5 year-old a chintsy plastic recorder as she rode in the cart. To shut her up, I presume?

Every shopper I saw had a twisted, pained expression from the noise.

You say that now

The child could have autism or some other kind of neurological or emotional problem.

Which means they should try and either work around it (ie, have dad do the shopping while mum takes kiddie to the park; parents plural were mentioned) or at least do something like give the kiddie music to listen to on headphones or a book to look at to stop the shrieking. Honestly, it seems now as tho every single parent of a screech-chiild uses the "But he's autistic/suffers from AHDD/has social phobia/is psychotic etc etc!" excuse to explain away their child's appalling behaviour. They can't all be autistic/AHDD sufferers etc.

Anyone seen that commercial with Mariska Hargitay? 1 in 150 children will be diagnosed with autism.

So no. Not Every. Single. Misbehaving. Child at the store has some kind of disorder.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Exactly my point. Also, I highly doubt that the behaviour will be allowed to continue when they get older; a teenager walking around shrieking loudly will be out on his ear. So why should we have to put up with it from children, especially if the parents are doing nothing?

If the child is one of the 1 in 150, then parents should not expose them to situations which they can't cope with. Yes, it is a pain to get your shopping delivered, or to have to wait til a friend can go with you; but your child's needs override your own. My mum used to wait til Saturdays to shop, so that my dad could take me and my brothers to the park and she could shop by herself. Even if there aren't two parents around, surely a friend could take the kids to the park or something?

If the child is simply misbehaving, then the parents need to do something. A friend of mine ended up walking out of a supermarket five times in a day cuz her daughter kept shrieking. It took a long time to get the shopping done, but eventually, her daughter realised that the screeching was not going to work, regarding them leaving the place, but instead was just delaying it. If the child is old enough to attend playgroup or nursery school, they certainly are old enough to understand the concept of "sit down and shut up."

Note: I don't mean the two year olds, or babies; the kids I have seen behaving like this are all at least three years old and some are even older.
