they are too busy doomscrolling or texting on thier phones to notice thier child.
Ah yes. Take it out on the children instead of the incapable parents who shouldn’t have got them in the first place.
Not quite what’s being described here - the waiter’s done nothing and most likely would not be fast enough to prevent the situation from happening. It just happened.
That being said, this would be a very fucked up reaction to a kid most likely dying if it were real life - however, most of us understand this is just morbid hyperbole for the sake of dark humor, and not to be taken seriously.
I’m also always happy when someone’s child gets hurt because their parents deserve it…/s
the last time I went to my favorite burger place, not a fast food chain, a local place, owner operated. Some shitty little kid was running around the booths screaming.
There’s a homeless camp very close by that place and when I tried to warn the mom that homeless, sometimes drunk and/or high homeless people go in there she calmly but angrily told me “don’t tell me how to parent my kids”
not long after that a homeless lady came in there looking around the booths for any forgotten items to steal, the stupid lady still didn’t wrangle her kid to stay near her
I used to be homeless, and the worst thing that the other homeless people ever did to Me is that a crazy guy kept asking Me to help him build a time machine. Homeless people are mostly very sweet and nice.
“Homeless person asks me to help them build a time machine” is almost as sad of a short story as “babyshoes for sell. Never worn.”
He kept asking the shelter kitchen staff when I’d be in the cafeteria for lunch so he could pitch Me on his time UFO idea. He believed that two disks rotating in opposite directions would create infinite energy and unlock time travel.
And I told him that it’s not a UFO if you’ve identified it, it’s a flying saucer. And I don’t think the scientific principle at play is valid. He told Me to watch a conspiracy documentary that proves it is valid.
Oh no, the homeless?! 😱 Did they staggered while walking and shouted cccooooooiiiiiins, at least in your head?
Good thing you were looking out for that child.
Imagine the terrible lessons that child is going to learn growing up, crazy shit like “homeless people aren’t a threat” and “dont get bullied by random dudes lecturing you in public”
Don’t worry, the mother had an eye on the kid. That creepy guy named Zeus won’t be able to do a thing.
