Things I fucking loath when it comes to this topic:
Parents that decide to go shopping (Both parents, not single parent deal here) with there brat at 11pm, kid crys because he is tired. - FUCK YOU.
Same as above, only lets make it a Dennys.
Parents that try to "reason" with their 2-6 year olds. - FUCK YOU.
Brings me to a story:
So I was installing a fence about 7-8 years ago, we had this in the back yard:
The thing is all hydrolic and I have watched it go through concrete like nothing, break rocks in half, and sheer a pin that was 1" in diameter.
So anyhow we are working along for about an hour and we don't have this thing fired up yet (good thing to). We are going along marking out the fence line, and starting off with hand digging (can't use that machine against a house or where electric or gas lines are). I have a pair of diggers and a 20 pound digging bar (pointed on one end, flat and sharp on the other, solid steel about 6' in height).
Thankfully we were not running that machine when it happened but this stupid cunt of a mother decides to let her brats out in the yard. They are doing what you would expect from a 4 and 8 year old. Getting into shit that is just fucking dangerous.
So we give the mother the benefit of the doubt and about 15 mins to get her kids under control.
This is literally how it went:
"---- please stop doing that"
"---- do you want to come inside"
"---- how about you go over there"
"---- don't touch that he needs it"
(kid tries to hand me a 20 pound rock bar that was wedged in the ground, and knocks it on my foot)
So like I said this goes on for 15 mins, now my position was not high enough to address this but I am glad the foreman finally did. This is how that went:
Mother: Are my kids bothering you <facepalm>
Foreman: Yes, you need to bring them inside or we will have to pack up and leave, it's way to dangerous what they are doing"
Me personally, I would have been more forth coming. Take your kids inside right now or we leave.
Then their fucking GRANDFATHER walks by and says "hey they don't mind, they are just helping!"
HOLLY FUCKING SHIT.
Quit trying to reason with your kids that are at the age where reasoning isn't something they get. Grow a pair and start parenting.
