Well, were he here (did he get banned yet?), Cesario would probably argue that creaming into a child’s face is not necessarily intentional nor voluntary. I mean, they’re totally asking for it.
I am totally skeeved out and yet laughing my ass off at the same time!
I also wonder who the cops would believe when they showed up. A family with an unhappy kid or the macho man who screamed at a kid.
The parents were wrong for not taking action with the kid, but Ol’ Yog here was far MORE wrong for doing that. Even if he was the hero of his stupid friends.
When called on your original statement, you have indeed “clarify” it - that is, back away from what you originally said - and I disagree with that position, too.
Both “stong” and “long” work.
What I’m saying is that, unusual circumstances aside such as when a child is sick, you cannot “reasonably predict” in advance when a child will make a scene. Young children are not “predictable”.
What you are writing now isn’t what you were writing then. You’ve backed off. And I still disagree with it.
If this story is true, you’re what psychologists refer to as “fucked up.” If you had real friends there, rather than some of your imaginary ones, and they cheered you for screaming at a baby, then they too are fucked up. Not surprisingly, fucked up losers band together out of need: nobody else wants to be around them.
I’m disappointed that one of the parents didn’t fracture your skull or take out a few of your teeth with one of those heavy coffee mugs such places typically use. Had it been my child, you’d certainly have received a monumental assbeating from me. My wife? Well, she’s afraid of crazy people and has the typical Eastern European woman’s over-protective love of children. You might very well have gotten your punkass self shot.
Fuck it. The whole story is nothing but the fantasy of a friendless, unloved, totally lacking in social skills, Internet loser.
It may be a loaded word, but it is also very descriptive of what some babies/children do in public places. Even tho I don’t like children at. all. I rarely have a problem with one that is only crying, but if their needs are not met or they are being ignored, screaming generally follows. There are also those babies that are just getting their voices and love to scream just for the fun of it, and the younger children who cannot seem to do much of anything without screaming for fun.
It’s not that these children are the only ones out there, it is that they are fairly common and extremely noisy. Even tho I don’t go out all that often, I get stuck with one about once a month. Maybe because I live in a tourist trap but the why is immaterial - there is no reason why anyone should have to put up with screaming children, period. Parents who don’t take a screaming child out of a public place right away need to get over their entitlement attitude; there is nothing special about their kid and the rest of the world is not here to help them raise it or put up with it’s tantrums.
kidneyfailure has indeed, in more than one post, said exactly that: he’ll try to keep the kid quiet, but if that doesn’t work, then yes - HE IS GOING TO JUST SIT THERE AND IGNORE A SCREAMING BABY IN A RESTAURANT.
Again, I never said that. I said that those who feel I am not doing enough to quiet my baby can “butt the hell out.” I also said that I would take my baby outside if need be. Nowhere did I say that I would ignore a screaming baby in a restaurant. I think I’ve made that quite clear.
“I’m not taking my child out of earshot just so you filthy proles can gorge on your swill in peace. Suck it!”
Now, what did I really say?
1)“If she needed a trip outside for some quiet time while my dinner freezes, she’d get that”
2)“I specifically mentioned taking her outside if she needed it”
3)“I stated several times over several posts that I would quiet my kid down and that that would include taking it out of the restaurant if need be”
That’s at least three time where I’ve said I’d take her out of earshot if need be. Learn to read, Fuji.
I don’t mind. What do I care what strangers think?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it didn’t turn into a confrontation. But being upset at me because it worked when you probably wouldn’t have thought it would have is silly. Get over it, life doesn’t always work out the way you think it ought to. In this instance, yelling at the kid produced the BEST result possible, and I have no remorse for that. Hopefully the parents learned their lesson
Ha, didn’t think you’d actually admit you were wrong. 
Just another rationalization huh? Not like that’s completely unexpected. Whatever, think what you want, I’m happy it worked! 
Just people who thinks drinking is more important than the house rules of an estabilshment that specifically forbids it. You know alcoholics, they’ll rationalize anything. Sounds like someone I know… :dubious:
Good thing I’m not that kid’s parent!
I’d like to see a restaurant that specifically welcomes screaming kids. Find one! I’ll make sure to avoid it so you and your little banshees can scream to your heart’s content.
According to others on this thread, and I have no reason to disbelieve them, management is usually too pussy to crack down on shit like this. They don’t know, or don’t think about, the fact that he’s not simply trying to keep one family, but the rest of the patrons who have to put up with that kid’s shit. As far as I’m concerned, and feel oh so free to believe otherwise, I saved that restaurant money by getting rid of the problem. If I were a superhero, I would be the Restaurant Avenger! I’d hurl plates and swing from a grappling hook shaped like an egg beater!
I love how you’ve just admitted that you’d bend over and take it from a 3 year old for the entire duration of your meal. Some of us have limits, and a kid screaming not 3 feet away tests those limits. The truly pathetic decry such heroism as dangerous to the moral code of society and react with inappropriate indignation. So congratulations, you may not be a pedophile, but children fuck you and you do nothing about it.
There’s nothing to get over. You’re an asshole who will one day wind up getting the beating you so richly deserve. Or you’ll realize that you narrowly avoided a beating and will think twice about it next time.
Well, if that ain’t the Ritz callin’ the Town House crackers I don’t know what is.
I forgot how fucked in the head you are. Thanks for the reminder.
The difference is being an intentional douchebag or having an instinctive reaction to someone threatening your kid.
See, I’ve worked in residential treatment with the sanity challenged. I also spent some time working as a deputy sheriff. Most of my career as a teacher has been working with troubled yoots. This has had a couple results:
- I’m not intimidated by or afraid of people who act crazy.
- I recognize that when the mentally ill begin acting out, they are unpredictable.
You act like a crazy (especially towards my kid) and I’ll treat you like a crazy. You’re going to the floor and getting your happy ass restrained til LE arrives. How much injury that results in for you will be a direct result of how much you decide to resist. This ain’t the ward and I’m not here to provide you with a therapeutic environment.
But as I said above, this whole story was the fabrication of a socially retarded misfit.
Like I said, Town House, meet Ritz.
Gosh, that one was so wickedly clever, I can see why you want to keep repeating it. Did you manage to use it in conversation at work today, too?
ROTFLAMO!!
Excellent!
I think I am more often inconvenienced by adults than kids.
I’ve been to several movies where old ladies just couldn’t stop asking dumbass questions. Really loud and obnoxious.
Take them out and spank them.
Rather be spanked by them.
