Truth is I have accidentally on purpose touched people if they touch me in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable or even feel embarrassed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-14465691999595677472017-07-20T11:50:25.764-04:002017-07-20T11:50:25.764-04:00Love this post! I am so tired of entitled parents!...Love this post! I am so tired of entitled parents! A lady legit tried to make someone in a wheelchair get off the bus who was already on it when we rolled up to the stop...why? So she could fit her giant stroller on with a kid who was clearly awake and old enough to walk and talk. It wasnt until a random man stood up and yelled to put the kid on her lap and close the stroller and sit down or gtfo. Like woman in a wheelchair vs you and your kids its accessibility seating for people with aid devices not so you and your giant stroller can take up all the priority seating. And make a scene holding us up from getting to the rest of the stops. Ugh.<br /><br />Also these 2 moms like to walk side by side blocking the sidewalk with their big asses and huge strollers and like 6 kids lining the sides of thw sidewalk and grass so there is no where to go or walk around then they mouth drop looking pissed when I bump into them trying to get by or when I stop infront of them and their stroller like im not moving. People also like to block aisles and when you say excuse me look at you like you are stupid...um move your stroller or maybe i should just do it for you? And people whining at work about not getting time off because someone with more seniority already asked or put their request in with the actual required 2 weeks notice..."but I have a kiiiid"....good for you I dont and plan to keep it that way. Not my problem you have a kid and wanted that day off why do I have to feel bad for getting the time off just because I dont have a kid? I am not lonely I do not feel like I am missing anything so no need to feel bad for me for not having kids I am quite happy....in fact when I constantly hear parents complain they miss events or see kids throwing tantrums in a store I get to just walk away and the extra financial stress...no thanks. I am quite happy with it that way. But because you have a kid it doesnt make you better than anyone else or entitled to things...so frustrating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-78260165807980577502015-11-20T22:38:59.105-05:002015-11-20T22:38:59.105-05:00I love your post!

While the mom was digging thru her purse to find payment, her kid was pressing all the buttons on the payment pad. Then the kid started beating on the screen with the stylus pen. Now the kid would not have damaged the payment pad by pressing the buttons, but beating on the screen with the stylus pen yes! The screen could have been broken, or the pen which are both expensive. I looked at the mom and said, that's an expensive piece of equipment. She just continued on acting like I said nothing and was below her. If the kid did damage the pad, I would love to say your new total plus payment pad is now 798.00!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-73916798483659076702015-10-10T13:11:05.846-04:002015-10-10T13:11:05.846-04:00Crappy parents need to be taught that they and the...Crappy parents need to be taught that they and their troublesome kids can't always have their way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-81574705073495775892015-10-01T15:55:21.823-04:002015-10-01T15:55:21.823-04:00LOL you obviously don't have kids.

I'm super ...THANK YOU so much for posting this. I'm super late to the party, but today I had one of these types of experience. I was in line at the Dippin' Dots and this man with two small kids in tow tried to cut me. I said: "I'm sorry Sir, I was here first". He backed off and the guy that worked the counter waited on me, but then a few seconds later while I was still being helped, this guy with the kids said "Come on, let's go", like I was some HORRIBLE PERSON for insisting that I be respected and not be cut in line.<br /><br />It's just obnoxious. When I told my best friend about it (who has a 4-yr-old), she wasn't sympathetic. She seemed to think this sort of thing doesn't really happen and I must have just misread the situation. Like maybe the guy didn't notice me there because he was dealing with the kids. I think it would be impossible for him not to notice I was there. He simply thought that because we were getting ice cream and he had little kids with him that the rule about waiting in line didn't apply to him.<br /><br />My friend doesn't get it because she has a four year old, so nobody is going to try this crap with her. But people do it all the time to me. I was frustrated feeling like nobody else understood this and searched on google: "Why are parents so entitled" and found your blog post. THANK YOU. This makes me feel less crazy. Like I'm not the only person this crap happens to and I'm not some evil horrible person for insisting that I be waited on if it's my turn.<br /><br />It's like you are a second class citizen these days if you don't have kids in tow.Znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-92084112275947130492012-08-15T03:33:07.781-04:002012-08-15T03:33:07.781-04:00I work in a busy restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor,...I work in a busy restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor, MI, and once a year we have a horrible weekend in which the town is taken over by the Art Fair. My first year, I was told by my co-workers that during said fair, no substitutions were allowed on the 8 wraps listed on the menu. Way too busy. This isn't goddamn Subway. Luckily, the location and volume provided us with the ability to do this and also call out shitty customers and tips. I hate entitled parents and for this very reason, I chose to work at a bar. Nothing annoys me more than entitled parents with their transformer sized strollers and "I'm pregnant" woes.<br /><br />Anyway, as I go to take a four tops order, this preggo at the table ordered a wrap and tried to modify it as if it were calamari and she really wanted a club sandwich. Nothing detrimental to her pregnancy. After the second reminder that we weren't doing subs, she looks at me and whines, "But I am pregnant!!!" and as I am about to shoot something back, her friend made eye contact with me and then turned to her and said, "Being pregnant is not a handicap, asshole." <br /><br />It was as if I had reached a new level of server heaven. Had I been more comfortable in the job, I would have comped this woman's tab or at least heavily discounted it.Tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-38906053428639321612012-03-03T17:18:08.044-05:002012-03-03T17:18:08.044-05:00Just found your blog when I was goggling for "...Just found your blog when I was goggling for "parents are entitled and now I know where their children get it". Seriously.<br /><br />Let me just say - I have 3 kids. Never had a double stroller either. <br /><br />Wanted to warn you, since no one seems to be writing about it, that these self-absorbed parents raise entitled little snots who someday become entitled teenaged jerks. Those same parents will ride in on their broomsticks to meetings and curriculum nights to tell teachers, volunteers, coaches, and anyone else dealing with their kids that their little darlings are too BUSY to be involved, but should be given preferential treatment because, of course, they're them.<br /><br />There is no reasoning with these lunatics.

I haven't gone out to eat in months, because I'm now terrified of going somewhere, only to be heartbroken and disappointed, as well as to feel like I'm a burden, because restaurants and their staff can't comprehend that sound can physically hurt people. <br /><br />I have Hyperacusis, which is a sensitivity to sudden loud sounds. I apologize if I mentioned or ranted about this before, but it keeps being an issue in my life. I can't even begin to explain this to entitled parents, without them rambling manically about how their child was a good kid that day, or going just plain hysterical. I sometimes wish they would know, how it feels to have a child who suffers everytime they leave the house, because few if any people are able to show compassion for my situation. I mean most people do, but the parents no way.<br /><br />I've been told I must hate children, something is wrong with me, and that I should "Stay home if it bothers me that much." I have Asperger's Syndrome, you may feel that's the bastard cousin of Autism that nobody really gives a f**k about, but it is a part of who I am. I even had explained to the manager at Olive Garden I had a form of Autism, he told me sorry but it's a family restaurant. I told him he was discriminating against me for being mentally disabled. He tried to apologize, *ahem* I mean avoid a disability related lawsuit, when we left. I'm just am sick and tired of this BS as I'm sure you are. This is why kids are being banned from restaurant. Because entitled parents have become a horde of bullies, they have no problem picking on me despite being open and honest about my mental disability. All I can think is I hope to God, they don't have a mentally disabled child. If they're going to bully me, they'd probably abuse their child emotionally into normalcy or at least would believe they could do so. I mean, what is so wrong with people to attack someone who just told you they're mentally disabled? Really, like do they think they're doing it for fun?<br /><br />I'd just like to be able to go out and not be assaulted by some brat's scream. The last time I was at Whole Foods a baby screamed, and their parents gave me a death glare. Like I'm such an awful human being, because I have a condition I DID NOT CHOOSE, AND CANNOT HELP HAVING? I apologize if this now seems to have gone off topic, I just can't express how upsetting it is hearing constantly people should understand these entitled parents. These parents with the mindset of the queen bees and wannabes in high school. I know all parents aren't like this, but many of them are. Did they ever stop to think their aggressive behavior might put their child at harm? Oh right it would be the other person's fault then right? Can you believe my psychatrist said I should be more understanding of parents. That's what got us to this point, praising parents endlessly, and now the majority act like spoilt children.<br /><br />Entitled parents aren't just a plague on the public, they are a problem for their children. I don't know how children deal with their constant drama, without resorting to some form of maladaptive behavior to cope with it. What normal person screams like someone stabbed them, because their kids knocked down a DVD display? Why is it when you have children, and are responsible for another life, then it's okay for you to act like a Bipolar person off their meds? Shouldn't there be more scrutiny, not less for such unpredictable parents? Why am I seen as a bad person, just for wanting to go out without having to deal with entitled parents acting like escaped mental patients?Jackienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-12593656529351823552011-09-29T16:16:03.758-04:002011-09-29T16:16:03.758-04:00I have found the SUV strollers are just an extensi...I have found the SUV strollers are just an extension of the huge purse. I have friend who was the type to carry EVERYTHING she could possibly need or want with her in a huge purse and when she pooped out a kid she just quadrupled the list and shoved it all in a huge stroller. Then she used the stroller to steamroll her way around town. I went to a fair with her and her stroller once and that was the end of that. Never did a "kid activity" with her again. <br /><br />In terms of restaurants I don't go out to eat even half as much as I used to anymore. It's just not worth it for us to have to deal with horrible parents and their filthy, noisy, obnoxious children.sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-14715020679749064332011-09-27T14:56:26.212-04:002011-09-27T14:56:26.212-04:00One time I was trying to get off the subway and st...One time I was trying to get off the subway and stepped between a strollermommy and the door.

They wanted to sit in the booth in the back and place their stroller conveniently in front of it, basically blocking any customer and server trying to get to the front. The host told the men that it was a fire hazard and they could not place the stroller in front of the booth and he sat them at a table where it was safe to put the stroller. The two ass hats got up and moved back to the booth and placed the big ass stroller in front of it. The server was pissed and made it obvious that it was difficult to serve the table with the stroller in the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-48350952503161539032011-09-25T22:32:41.436-04:002011-09-25T22:32:41.436-04:00Nice blog, hi friend, i found that there is one we...Nice blog, hi friend, i found that there is one website offering free puzzle games.

If a single person did this, they were just being lazy. <br /><br />Um, I rarely get the first spot and if one opens up, you bet your ass I'm taking and not looking in my rearview mirror for a minivan thinking, "Oh, no, you take it." Bull shit. <br /><br />And another friend who, in her eighth month of pregnancy, complained that you shouldn't be allowed to park in the "mothers" parking spot unless you were at least showing your pregnany. <br /><br />She denies ever parking in that spot when she was newly pregnant which I called bullshit on, too. Pregnant is pregnant. You never know, the newly prego lady might have had bad morning sickness and just needed saltines to survive the day like my friend did at that time in her pregnancy. <br /><br />So, parents act entitled from the moment the sperm joins the egg and it never stops. I just wish they would stop posting every freaking picture ever taken of their kid on Facebook. If you had a baby so you could post something every two minutes therefore getting 50 thumbs up on a status or picture, you did it for the wrong reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-78065793566164349982011-09-25T16:16:52.652-04:002011-09-25T16:16:52.652-04:00The entitlement traits you list apply to old peopl...The entitlement traits you list apply to old people too.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-18104478103939419082011-09-25T13:50:24.647-04:002011-09-25T13:50:24.647-04:00eh...forget that idea.

They are literally putting peoples lives in danger ! <br /><br />Then again, in restaurants, if people cannot reach exits in emergency situations because of these women & that strollers , then it is basically the same. <br /><br />Or, if they are self absorbed, & not paying attention & they move those strollers an inch just as a server or patron goes by ! A recipe for disaster !alwaysarealpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683803585647209441noreply@blogger.com
