Ten months old?! Shit! What the hell are people ON these days that they . . . wait, never mind, we're discussing BNPs here.
Someone needs to invent a device like a bell jar, that can be set down over offenders like these so that all the noise and odor they create is THEIRS, and theirs alone. Everybody else gets to eat in relative peace.
I will cheerfully admit to wanting a BugZapper of Annoyance, but there's that little thing about unjustifiable homicide . . . ::shrug:: Yeah, Cone of Annoyance will do, so long as it is soundproof.
You can't snap at the kid; it's only 10 months, fergawdssake. But the parents? I'd have loved to slap them into orbit.
We had a similar experience at breakfast yesterday. Granted it wasn't late a night.. but still. Mommy was up at the buffet (we were at Golden Corral) and the child (probably about 2) was just wailing.. we're talking snot running, mouth wide opened red faced WAILING.. and daddy (or whomever) just sat there and stared at the little boy. After about five minutes (well it was probably shorter but it FELT MUCH LONGER) he finally picked the kid up out of his high chair he didn't quite seem to know what to do with him.
For a moment we thought (with wild abandonment and hope) he was going to take the kid outside until he calmed down.. but noooo.
Seriously, I understand kids need to be socialized, but allowing his reaction to your plan of introducing him to dining out doesn't mean you can steamroll over the environment of the other paying patrons.
The older I get the more it seems like what's wrong with kids today is their lame parents.
What is this new fad with people having their kids out at all times of the night??? There's also this new wave of parents who never seem to want to get off their butts and find out what's wrong with their child. "Just let him cry" is their answer for EVERYTHING. Yes having a child changes your life. It's a shame some people don't consider that until after labor and delivery.
I think idiot parents like that should be forced to pay for all, if not a portion, of the meals of the people they've affected by letting poor behavior continue.
That is utter bull crap they couldn't get their food to go, that their heads are so far up their asses that they have no consideration of other people around them.
