On the topic of saying inappropriate things to people's children, I'm still haunted by something I did at the age of 13 as a disillusioned and angry young teenager. Worst thing I ever did. Worse than, "Here's how to say, 'suck a dick!'"

Like three days after Christmas, two parents walked by me on the sidewalk with their little kid. The little kid was singing, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

I said, "Hey, kid, Christmas is over, and Santa Claus is dead."

I wish I could somehow go back to that very moment so that this time, the parents would have broken all my teeth and facial bones with their fists.

In some ways, I haven't changed, but at least I reserve that kind of talk for adults in Politics, Religion, and Beer.

I honestly wanted to punch this bitch this weekend who after being told multiple times to stop screaming "fuck", "shit", and "asshole" around my kids thought it would be funny to teach my three year old to say "suck a dick".

I went off on her and called her some not so nice things. Then I told her I was torn between wishing she was infertile so she can't fuck up her children and hoping she has a few so I can teach them to say, "Mommy's cunt smells like two day old tuna."
Wait...is this woman still alive?

Unreal.

There have been a few incidents in PHX this weekend, in regards to neglect and harming a child, that have made me sick to my stomach. I told my wife that some people do not deserve to have children. Pretty sure that this woman qualifies for that group.

I bet that's exactly what they wanted to do. Instead they probably just told their kid that you were on the Naughty List and that's why you were such a miserable little shit.

I showed my wife Hater's response and she had a few comments:

1) Who the fuck does he think he is to tell you what you can and can't get pissed about when it comes to how people talk to our kids?

2) Does he not understand that when you are a parent you are a God to your kids?

On both points she is 100% correct, but the second one really hit home for me. You can't control what people say to your children, as LH's story illustrates, but that in no way absolves you of your responsibility to safeguard their mental and physical well being. And when someone threatens either you absolutely have the right to get upset at them. And that's not elevating yourself to godlike stature. That's just being a parent.

Her husband took her home shortly after I laid into her. Everyone who was there was pretty disgusted at her behavior. And my sister-in-law was told by her uncle (whose house we were at) that maybe it would be a good idea to never invite her again.

Surprisingly, no one had Hater's "eh, they'll learn those words sooner rather than later" attitude. Hmmmm...

It could have been a meds thing. I was at a wake for my then-fiancee's father when the girlfriend of a family friend stole the giant tray of chicken salad from the catered food spread and put it in the trunk of her car. Poor guy had to go retrieve it and then remove her from the premises. It turned out she'd just gone loopy from a new prescription.

Alcohol was involved, but she was loud and obnoxious before the first drink was handed to her. So yeah, maybe it was a bad mix of drinking and a perscription, or maybe she's just a total asshole.

Really?

If my kids are reading this message board or on the internet and seeing things they should not see, that's on me.
If you're intentionally teaching my kids bad behavior or obscenities, that's on you (and you should probably examine the choices you are making in your life).

My kids are three & five. If they can read and understand obscenities then they are really intelligent and incredibly advanced for their age. But at the moment we are just not there yet so they are safe. But I can't control some asshole who thinks it's funny to have no filter on what they say in front of my kids and it can be infuriating when they intentionally say things in the hope my kids will repeat them.

Nailed it on both points. Especially the second regarding ages of children and what they can access vs what is demonstrated to them.

So are you one of those childless people who think it's funny to teach kids to say awful things?

And no, kids definitely can learn those words later rather than sooner. Your post is dumb.
No I'm not. It's just not your right to tell grown adults how to talk, especially in public. Unless they are physically assaulting or screaming at your child directly. You don't become a God above everyone else just because you have kids.

Pretty funny coming from a guy who thinks it's ok to play God of the road by blocking the passing lane, simply because he doesn't like how fast others are driving in it.

Folks who add the possessive to business names where one is not present. Like saying "Hey, let's go to Chipotle's today". The freaking place is Chipotle, no damn 's. Lol. Don't add it if it's not part of the name. Totally different if someone said "I really dislike the amount of rice in Chipotle's burritos".

Wonder if ASUHATER! is OK with this? I mean, kids are going to learn the about sex sooner rather than later anyways, right?


BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — A man convicted of having sex on a Florida beach in front of families was sentenced to two and a half years in prison on Monday.

Jose Caballero, 40, and Elissa Alvarez, 21, were convicted in May of two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior in a case that drew international attention for the couple's brazen act. They were videotaped having sex on a Manatee County beach last summer in broad daylight. Witnesses testified that a 3-year-old girl saw them.

Caballero told jurors that he and Alvarez were not having sex and that witnesses were mistaken. Jurors listened to graphic testimony from witnesses and saw a video of Alvarez moving on top of Caballero in a sexual manner in the middle of the day while others watched.

No it wasn't. Not even a tiny bit.

So because I believe that I have the right to talk how I want in public away and separated from children and not talking at them directly...then that means I'm ok with people having sex in public right by kids? What kind of absolutely idiotic jump in logic is that? Chi's post was presented in a way that he, since he has kids, had the right to censor people's speech in public. I disagreed. If I'm standing on a street corner 15 feet from your family and cuss...deal with it. That was my entire point. Where the hell do you get this crap about being ok with having sex in front of small kids and public.

You should step away from the computer and evaluate your life decisions at this point. Some azkkk/jefe/salty/dw99 level stupidity you're displaying.

Cause everyone else sees it differently than you just stated it. In fact, it's pretty clear he DIDN'T present it the way you are stating he did. Maybe you just misread it the first time or something, I don't know, and there has been a bit of a piling on towards you since then, but still, you've really misunderstood what Chi posted.

You're kidding, right?

:lol:

Look, it's ok to admit you assumed things not in evidence (like that this was just some stranger who we randomly came upon in public who for some reason I let speak directly to my children in a vulgar way). Or you could stick to your guns and keep presenting the issue as if you saw things correctly and literally everyone else saw it wrong.

I'd take the laugh it off option, but I know that's never been your style. So you just keep on being you Hater. Just double down on the dumb and never ever admit you may have been wrong. Which by the way, you most definitely were.

Unless you are a real POS, I think you tone it down just about anywhere kids are or can be, including the sidewalk/street.

I know most of us probably have been there, I know I have multiple times, where you say something with kids around. But usual you get a look from a parent or the parent says something, you apologize and it is okay. There is no way hater would have the balls to tell that mom or dad that he is not sorry and that the kid will learn it eventually even though he claims it behind the keyboard and monitor.

The one that has the complex is hater thinking he is above everyone.

Also the left lane should be for passing only on highways not inside the city, but no one ever does that. But what hater does is so dangerous. Cops I know have said stuff like that is more dangerous than speeding.

Thanks hater for your psa's on how you got it right and we who speed and think we should censor ourselves like decent humans are wrong.

In Indiana we just had a law passed that specifically outlaws blocking traffic in the left lane even if you are obeying the speed limit and everyone else is exceeding it.
The law signed by Gov. Mike Pence earlier this month and taking effect July 1 gives faster drivers the right of way in so-called highway fast lanes and permits police to issue tickets to left-lane drivers who fail to budge when they should reasonably know another vehicle is overtaking them, The (Munster) Times reported.

State Rep. Jud McMillin, R-Brookville, said he sponsored the law to ensure “individuals who are driving in the fast lane slowly are properly incentivized to get out of your way.”

The mandate does not apply during traffic congestion, bad weather, while exiting on the left, paying a toll or pulling over for an emergency vehicle.

However, at all other times motorists risks fines if they are in the left lane and do not move to the right when another vehicle wants to pass.

The law was approved by the Indiana House 97-0 and cleared the Senate in a 29-20 vote.

Safety on the highway is mostly about flow. Our roads more often than not have room for everyone. Traffic occurs in 'pockets' or 'waves' if you will where cars get all bunched together due to bad drivers and then there is no flow. On a two-lane road with a semi in the right lane doing 8 over, it's best to speed even more than you want/intend just to get past the truck and a safe distance ahead before passing. Driving literally neck and neck with a semi because you don't want to exceed 8 over is the most insane thing ever, yet people do it all the time.

And I agree with phxcats about the cursing...I curse hundreds of times per day probably but I can absolutely turn it off at work or if I recognize kids are present in the general vicinity. It's called being aware of your surroundings and acting accordingly, aka being a normal adult.

In a restaurant a few years ago with friends and I was loudly discussing how my wife tells me to keep my cursing down and that she wasn't with me and I can now curse as much as I want. There father of many kids at the table next to me told me to keep it down and that he had kids. I didn't know he was there and genuinely felt bad. Now as a dad I realize how much of a douche I was.

So you didn't tell that guy, "just because you have kids doesn't make you a god above everyone else"?

I get back in my car and notice these same fat lazy people are still sitting in their cars in line, motors running, air conditioning blasting, getting pissed that the drive-thru line isn't hardly moving.

Idiots.
I do this a lot. I don't get why people wait.

Then there are people who use the ATM (and absorb the fee) outside the bank when it's open.
Right where I want to be.

Don't add it if it's not part of the name. Totally different if someone said "I really dislike the amount of rice in Chipotle's burritos".
Or it's plural and they spell it with an apostrophe.

If it's your bank there should be no fee to use the ATM. If there is, you need to find a new bank ASAP.

If it's not your bank and there is a fee, I'm not sure what going inside would do for you. They won't give you any money.

I'm now at a credit union, so if this doesn't occur anymore, well, I hope my kids aren't reading this board.

Most credit unions participate in shared branching so even if you don't have an account there you can still probably go inside and do your business from another credit union. Hence reason 4232352 why credit unions are better.

Didn't realize that about credit unions. I take it from SD's post that you can't walk into a Chase or Bank of America and do your business. Just another credit union?

No, I mean way back when I was banking, I was charged a fee for ATM withdrawal by my own bank. I just get my cash at grocery stores now. With a mask.

I don't ever use cash anymore. Which means I no longer have to lie to homeless people.

If they were smart, they'd start accepting Apple Pay and Google Wallet.

But in all seriousness, I'm sure it's getting tougher and tougher to panhandle. I never have spare change, and when I do have cash it's almost always in $20 bills which I'm certainly not giving away.

Never use ATM's. When I go shopping at the supermarket, I just ask for cash when paying.

Now that this has turned into a money thread....

The reason why I don't use cash is because of the Discover Card cash back thing. I make something like $60 a month on that. I should look into an airline miles card, but I never do because I'm so mesmerized by earning another couple hundred dollars every few months. And it's non-taxable because, for reasons I can't fathom, the IRS doesn't consider it to be income in terms of a gain in personal wealth (they view it as a "discount").

They never get any interest money out of me, so as far as I can tell, I'm a complete burden on them.

Do you guys do this? Are there even better - and equally lazy - ways of making a buck just through purchase transactions alone?

Yes, only pay in cash when it is necessary and the only option. Get cash back with my credit card so everything is pretty much discounted since I pay the balance every month.

Have the Costco Amex which is going away in March I believe so I need to determine what other Amex to use.

How about people like my neighbor who shot off fireworks at 10:30 last night? You know, on that little known holiday, the 7th of July... :roll:

My kids woke up scared out of their minds. I'm just glad we don't have any vets in the hood who suffer from PTSD.

I'm seriously thinking about egging his house some random day in the future...
