AngryIrishLass, clean up the shit yourself, please.

And no-one was disagreeing with Cattitude’s summary. What people are taking issue with is your assertion, absent any evidence, that AngryIrishLass just did a runner without informing anyone of the mess.

So, in the absence of any mention either way, you choose to assume the worst. Also, the thread was not about “Worst messes you have had to clean up in public.” It was “Have your kids ever embarrassed you in public?” The story told by AngryIrishLass fulfills that requirement; she might have omitted the details because she felt they were extraneous to the main point, which was the embarrassment.

You questioned, and yet, rather than await a response, you continue to post AS IF she had answered your question in the affirmative. She has not. And, as i pointed out earlier, she hasn’t posted at the SDMB for more than 24 hours. I’m sure if she knew of your interest, she would drop whatever she’s doing and come running back to set your mind at ease, but i’m betting she’s not telepathic.

Why? Perhaps she thought that telling an employee would be such an obvious requirement in a case like this that it barely warrants mentioning. That would probably be my position.

I agree.

(Sorry, I’ve been away from the Dope all day. Unlike me, I know.)

Yes, to answer whomever it was a page ago, I have two kids, one is 14 and the other is 2.5. I’m also a home day care provider for infants and toddlers, as was correctly answered on my behalf.

One thing I think informing my point of view is also speculation, albeit informed speculation - most often, the poop of a walking-around toddler who eats McDonald’s is not oozy, but a solid ball. As such, it’s pretty easy to pick up with, say, a diaper wipe, and wipe down and minuscule particles on the surface it landed on. That is, of course, if it’s gotten to early. If it’s left laying around, of course it can get smooshed and smeared by kids crawling through it, and then of course more elaborate cleaning and disinfecting is probably wise.

I also wonder if the Pittee (when she gets here) could elaborate on what “everyone in the restaurant” meant. IME, the Playland is usually in a separate room or section of the restaurant. The scenario in my head was that shrieking laughing children ran through that room or section yelling about a lost diaper and poop. Not that the kids calmly and coherently went to the counter and explained that there was an irretrievable diaper in the Playland. In the first scenario, I wouldn’t consider that adequate notification of the staff, in the second, I would.

Yes, I’m being judgmental. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that - judgment is a powerful social tool. If I’ve misread the situation, of course, I stand ready to apologize.

And, once again, I do sympathize. I’ve been in some horribly similar circumstances, and it feels awful. But sympathy doesn’t mean I think what happened (or what I think happened) is acceptable or that I think she should do it again.

63

The way she worded the post in the original thread leads me to believe she is a self-entitled bitch who seems to think she is above people like those who work at McDonalds’, and finds it humorous that an employee has to clean up her kids’ shit. That is not funny.

I hope your kid shits in your fucking purse, cluelessbitchlass.

64

Since she averages 0.24 posts per day, she may not visit frequently.

65

Why? If she did, in fact, do a runner, do you honestly expect her to admit that? I doubt that there are all that many posters willing to turn a discussion into an outright pileon. She chose to share a embarrassing story in a thread asking for embarrassing stories. That’s all. She does not actually need to answer to any of the charges leveled at her here and due to most members’ short attention spans would probably do best to ignore the subject altogether.

66

This is my take on it. It happened 6 years ago (when AngryKid#2 was 2. He’s now 8). I’m sure the incident has been long forgotten outside of AngryIrishLass’s family.

sniff sniff

What’s that I smell? Could it be recreational outrage?

67

Wow. It was only a small story. I’ve not seen so many conclusions jumped to in my life. Simply asking for clarification if you’re so fucking concerned is too out there huh? Much better to fill in the fucking blanks with baseless made up facts to fit a conclusion so there can be a pit thread. Fuck you.

It’s late, I’m tired. But the sordid deteals I left out: I diapered my kid. I didn’t try to slink away…in fact, I just tossed a diaper back on the kid right there instead of heading to the bathroom. The other 2 announced it to the play area of the restaurant. I actually didn’t have to inform the manager as she was already in there when the first 2 came down to announce. She did leave the area immediately, which I found strange, but I was kind of busy. I then made all 3 sit at the table while I cleaned up the mess. Kid #1 had retrieved the dirty diaper while I was diapering his brother. I took napkins and the blue spray bottle they had sitting on the trash can (leaving that nasty towel that was with the bottle) and cleaned up what I could see, even carting my ass up into the damn tube. Which for the record, stunk to the high heavens. Fucking McDonald’s MADE THEIR EMPLOYEE CLEAN THE ENTIRE THING with disenfectant (I presume that it was a stronger disenfectant, it was a green spray bottle) the shift manager had retrieved (AH HA! that’s why she left!!) AND this was despite my reassurances it was in that one area and one slide. Yeah, I had some fucking baby wipes with me, but damn forgot the Lysol at home. When I apologized to her for the event, she wasn’t all that tore up and said it happened all the time.

That’s it, that’s all. Granted the facts weren’t as fantastical as what I’ve read here, which is probably why I left them out of the initial post. You know the one, the topic was what kids have done to embarass you. I was embarassed. Sue me. Next time, I’ll be sure add every single detail so shits for brains don’t get all pissy.

And really the main reason we don’t go back to that restaurant is because there is a 10yr age difference between Kid#1 and Kid#2, and #1 reminds #2 of the event whenever we drive by it, so #2 never wants to go there, and I won’t make him.

68

Opps, before the pile on continues, another few fact: #2 retrieved the diaper and a deposit, but missed a smaller deposit. I was exiting the apparatus when I was greated by the manager and poor empolyee. I needed more napkins. She told me to nevermind, the employee would retrieve the deposit.

69

Zuma, WhyNot, in light of the AngryIrishLass’s posts, can you now admit that you two are judgmental idiots?

Good Lord, the conclusions y’all jumped to does not look well on your character as human beings.

70

I still reserve the right to be judgemental about her letting a diaper-clad 2 year old play in an area for children 4 and up. :slight_smile:

71

If it went down as AngryIrishLass claims it did, and I have no reason to doubt her clarification, I offer my apologies to her.

72

If only you’d managed to contain your outrage for another two hours, you wouldn’t look like a total douche right now.

Zuma, what about the rest of us you trashed in your rush to judgment?

73

Absolutely. She did everything exactly right, as I’ve repeatedly said in the thread. I’m really glad she came back to clear things up. Y’know, cleaning up a mess she inadvertently left behind.

However, this new story directly contradicts the original story in at least one important detail: “I hope the poor employee who had to crawl up there and retrieve it, let alone clean the entire thing(#2 was bringing it down to throw away, so it traveled a bit of distance)…” vs. "Kid #1 had retrieved the dirty diaper while I was diapering his brother. " Even allowing for a switcheroo of Kid #1 and #2 for storytelling purposes, it’s still changing whether a kid or an employee did the deed.

I don’t particularly care, and I’m never (rarely) in the Pit to slam a specific person, I’m much more interested in general ethics and hypotheticals. If a person acted as described in the original post, I’d call that wrong. If a person acted as described in the additional information post, I’d say they did everything right.

I’m not entirely convinced **AngryIrishLass **didn’t alter her story based on a lot of the speculation we did yesterday, but it doesn’t really affect me either way, so I’m willing to let it drop.

74

If that is what her original post led you to believe, please take a reading comprehension class. Let’s look at her post ONE MORE TIME just for fun.

The OP said:

  1. Kid #2 took off his own poopy diaper at the age of two, leaving it inside a McDonald’s playland.
  2. Older kid…Kid #1 and his cousin found this to be hilarious and loudly announced to the entire playland that Kid #2 had committed heinous crime.
  3. She and Kid #2 still will not go to that McDonald’s.
  4. She sent #2 back up the slide to get the diaper, at which time a McDonald’s employee met him and took over. She felt bad for said employee and hoped he/she received extra compensation for having to clean up her kid’s dirty mess.
    I hope her follow-up posts about this matter lead you to apologize for this ridiculous post. I see nothing in the OP that suggests that she felt she was above the McDonald’s employees, that she feels self-entitled or that she found the situation humorous. Her other child and her niece or nephew may have, but she certainly didn’t suggest such things in her post.
75

Reparations to your grandchildren are in order. I’m exploring ritual suicide options to heal your wounds, QED. I will make things right for those such as you whose lives I have destroyed.

76

:rolleyes:

Idiot.

77

QED is the real victim here. That’s the most important lesson we can take from this horrific tragedy. I apologized to IrishLass, yet you must make things again about you, QED. Shall I fellate you in the public square?

78

Apology accepted.

WhyNot, take your hypotheticals and shove 'em up your ass.

79

Whynot, I’ve found your posts in this thread to be both surprising and disappointing.

80

AngryIrishLass, I also apologize to you if my words caused you upset. You seem to be pretty upset.

But like WhyNot, I don’t see how your two stories match up. . . but well, that’s not my issue.

On preview: I guess you’ll tell me off too, but that really is my opinion, so oh well. . .
