    Reminds me of my time working in checkout.

    Checkout across from me was closed and a trolley put in the lane to block it off. While serving a woman with her kid, the little shit was fucking up my counter. He knocked over my water bottle and messed up my stacked pamphlets. I asked the woman to get him to stop and she told him off, but as she left the kid turned around and smacked my pamphlets again, laughed and as he went to run away he ran straight into the trolley across from me and clothes-lined himself on the handle HARD. I laughed my ass off right in the little shits face as he cried, his mother just grabbed him by the arm and walked off…

    Great times.

      I have a similar one from Fuddruckers. The restaurant had a center island, and the hell spawn of a crotch goblin was running on the counter, kicking shit off.

      I said, “Hey kid, get down or you’ll slip and hurt yourself.” Of course his mom starts in on how her precious little sociopath can do whatever he wants and I can’t stop him.

      I’m sure you can guess what happened immediately after. It was glorious.

            I mean, yeah. Its one reason to be childfree. How can you not hate annoying children? There are good ones but those you usually dont notice in public.

              I’m talking more about the weird obsession they have with hating kids, to the point they make these cringey terms like “meat sirens” and “crotch goblins”. If someone said those terms to me in real life, I don’t think I could take that person seriously anymore.

              Most people who want to not have kids I know IRL just want to keep their freedom to do what they want and keep the freetime they currently have. Or for financial reasons.

              But childfree on the web is often simply hating on kids or moreso their parents really.

              Also just go to adult only restaurants, hotels, etc. That’s what those are for right. When we have a night out without the kids that’s what we do even. Nothing worse than getting the kids to grandma to then be screamed at by kids during dinner.
