Please take your unhappy crying baby home immediately!
Seriously, your newborn baby has been crying in my workspace for over an hour now while you shop for motorcycle apparel and accessories. How clueless can you be? Take your child home, he doesn't want to be out shopping for helmets and Harley t-shirts right now!

People are fucking idiots. :grr:

3. Yup
My desk is hidden behind t-shirts in the motorclothes section. I'm going to lose it if something isn't done soon. Why are some parents so selfish? They're laughing and talking, basically just ignoring his crying. The kid can't be more than a month old.

2. A few months back, I was staying in a hotel
(conference) and in the room next to mine, there were twin toddlers and a newborn baby. The mom was there for the conference, too, and the dad came along to take care of the babies. I guess she was nursing the newborn.

Anyway, the dad apparently never left the room with the two toddlers and baby and every night while I was trying to sleep the baby SCREAMED. I mean, I couldn't believe how long it cried!

So of course the two toddlers would wake up and cry and I'd hear the dad yell his head off at the toddlers to "GO BACK TO SLEEP!!!"

Oh yeah, that's gonna do the trick.

Those hotel walls are thin, too. It was like they were in the same room with me. I turned up my TV really loudly to try to drown it out, but our beds were up against a common wall.

Ug.

7. I would've called the front desk & asked to change my room
No way would I pay for that torture.
Or allow my company to pay (if it was through work).

4. If people are doing that to idiots, there will be more of them!
I guess our Candid Camera gag isn't going to see the light of day, is it?

11. I feel horrible for him
At least I'm pretty sure it's a him. Hard to tell at that age. ;-)

The parents have finally realized that he's crying and are now bullying the staff to ring up their purchases ahead of the other customers because "their baby is crying and needs to go home". Funny, they didn't care too much about that before they were ready to pay. :eyes:

12. I HATE when babies cry!!
And little children constantly screaming their heads off, especially in the library of all places. Thankfully I have the option of turning my hearing aids off but damn! can those parents do something before I run over and smack them. There out to be a law that requires parents to either duck tape their kids' mouths when going out or leave 'em home with a babysitter. (Ok I was joking about that last part.)
