OT: You know what really grinds my gears?

Most miserable day of my life was sitting next to a young couple with a 1 month old on an 8 hour flight to Maui. The kid screamed the entire time. I drank 6 dewers and took an ambian and still couldnt sleep.

Why would you take a 1 month old on an 8 hour flight?

I'm guessing because a boat ride to Maui was impractical. This is one I have sympathy with people on. As long as parents are trying to calm their kid down and not just ignoring them while they act crazy, I don't get mad. I don't think people with kids should be banned from public transportation and a screaming baby is not as bad as a fat person spilling into your seat or somebody that hasn't showered. If we get serious about airline etiquette and start kicking people off for things like that, I might could get on board with banning babies because then banning babies might actually turn flying into a non-miserable experience.

the snip, snip is the best $300 I ever spent. Seriously. I think the thought of never having another kid sends the woman into as much euphoria as the guy.

Children below the age of 13 shouldn't be allowed in restaurants that serve alcohol , nothing befuddles me more than to go into BWW in the bar area and the entire little legue team is running barefooted through the bar. Take them to Chick Filet, I'm trying to have a beer and watch the game.

I've seen plenty of children from infant to teenage that do fine in restaurants that serve alcohol. We have pretty much been willing to take our kids anywhere at any age, including white tablecloth restaurants, and I'm pretty sure we've never bothered anybody. We were lucky to have very laid back babies, and we did avoid taking them out if one was going through teething or just a phase where they were quick to throw a fit, but it's not that hard. Worst we ever had to deal with is sometimes taking a baby outside the restaurant if they started whining or acted like they were going to cry. If we had ever had to do it more than once for a single meal, we would have just told them to pack up our food to go and left.

dog people- just because you love your mutt and let it jump/hump/do whatever it wants, doesn't mean i want the damned thing to jump on me, lick me/ whatever...

Runners- IDGAF how far you've run, you're not special, your not an athlete, you aren't even good at it and no one really cares.

Definition of an Athlete: a person who is proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise. Running is physical exercise last time I checked. I am a runner/triathlete and granted I do not brag about how far I've raced, but something tells me you can't run a mile without coughing up a lung. No need to bash runners just because they are doing something they love to do.
