Oh Gawd yes. That guy thought you were all fascinated and amazed by his wondrous child, you see.
And then the 'let's hold up the whole place while we ask little Wonder what he would like to eat, and repeat with little brother/ sister Wonder', at top volume, and preferably while a queue builds, or while the waiter/ waitress stands, trying to keep their patience.0 -

Friends stayed at the weekend with their 9 year old. Too much molly coddlin' altogether. 'Would you like this sweetie?' 'are you hungry sweetie?' 'would you prefer something else?' etc etc
When I was young on the days there was enough to eat (which wasn't all that long ago for all that think I'm a grumpy old fcuk) it was.. 'here ate that'.Fcek sake, back in my day, there was 3 options with food: eat up quietly, eat up after getting a clout to the head or go hungry.
:eek: only 31 & using "back in my day".
Annoying myself now.
How easy is a Victor Meldrew costume to make for Halloween, i'm in character here.There was a 4th option in our house. Eat it for breakfast the next morning.
Regarding the costume. Just wee on yourself and wear some tweed. Job done.

We need one more to join us. Is there anywhere we can find someone who also remembers all this when it was only fields?0 -

What a dope! My almost 3 yr old is going through a, ahem," spirited " stage. If I was to take her into a café, she wouldn't be quiet, wouldn't sit down etc. Therefore all such things, though it is a pain, are off limits for the time being. There is no way I'd take her in somewhere, to ruin other peoples lunchbreaks. I'd rather die. Plus,I'd not have an ounce of peace myself anyway. As for him encouraging the child to be louder, he obviously must be an attention seeker himself. Oh God, toddlers are trivially annoying at times:(0 -

They prob feel the same way about you
Not in a bad way but priorities do change when you have kids and some things seem a little trivial in comparison to before, so people you used to talk to endlessly about certain things you find you don't have a lot to talk about with them because you no longer have time for whatever it was you had in common anymore due to the kids taking up your every waking hour
Having said that, work is my sanctuary from anything child related and is my only chance to be me and not mammy, so I'm the opposite- if people are trying to talk babies/kids I go running :pac:
This is true, but there are more of them than there are of me, so I usually just sit on my own with a book. The demographic of my work area is largely women in their mid forties. The reason I say they are smug is because they seem to look down their noses at anyone who isn't like them.
I had a cut off one of them a while back when they spoke about a friend of mine who'd left for another department. They asked me how he was getting on. I said that he loved his new area and that he was after getting engaged. Cue this wan blurting out "I always thought he was gay!!"
I retorted that just because someone is in their thirties and not yet married or with a brood of their own it does not mean they are gay. And, even if they are, so what? It's their business. Not yours.
And yes, they've made more subtle allusions to me about what they believe to be my sexual orientation too. :mad:0 -

People like this are simply selfish, inconsiderate cretins. And, of course, if you asked the Dad to wind his neck in and get his kid to STFU, it would be YOUR fault...
It's ok though because they will probably make him sit on the naughty step for 3 seconds when he is home, and they might even try to do some interpretative dance to convey to him how much it upsets mommy when he behaves that way. They'll follow up with a session with a psychotherapist in case his little ego gets bruised though

Strangers on the street who deem it acceptable to ask you for a smoke. I don't smoke so imagine me going up to some randomer and asking for a chewing gum.
I have noticed that these people tend to be as charming as they can when asking for one, but as soon as they are refused all the charm goes out the window and you are called every name under the sun. In fact after the last refusal I was a "tight cúnt" - why thank you, I've had it said before! 0 -

Oh jesus I remember that option well. Cold dinner made by a not very good cook to begin with

I had to delete a few people off my facebook page recently and a couple of them were made disappear because of the baby photos and videos. Baby getting ready for his bath, naked, baby in his bath, naked, baby eating his dinner, with it all over his head, baby eating his breakfast, naked. Seriously, I don't need to see this. One of the people contacted me to ask "why did you delete me?" and I just answered honestly, said I was sick of the baby photos and she responded with "well I was sick of looking at photos of your dogs". WHY DIDN'T YOU UNFRIEND ME THEN?!0 -

Strangers asking you for a smoke or a light and when you say no, you don't smoke, they look at you like you're the scum of the earth 0 -

I don't smoke but carry a lighter anyway and when people ask if I've a light and I go to get it from my bag I get looked at by whoever I'm with like I'm the liar of the century or something, and the "I thought you don't smoke?!" :pac:0
