Do that again and i'll slap you.
As a teacher, I filled in to be the last person they needed for a college trip to Disney. As we entered the park and got checked for bombs,my idiotic NPC colleague lisped "it's so beautiful here 🥹". As we were getting checked for BOMBS
I don’t get the joke. Is it the contrast between beauty and bombs? Or did your colleague say that like those were their last words?
lisped
Perhaps "beautiful" was heard as "boom-iful"?
If they are roughly the age that i am they may remember a time when you didn't get checked for bombs at amusement parks
I have to say it feels a bit dystopic. More so at how normal it is these days.
Oh my god, thank you - apparently I'm aging myself. Yes - we didn't used to need go through bomb checkpoints.
Also for the record I feel bad about saying idiotic and NPC! That was unnecessarily unkind, even if I found her excruciatingly vapid
Reasons I don't have children, no. 78: Even when you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to give them a potentially once-in-a-lifetime special experience, they're still obnoxious little shits.
They don’t understand, they can’t understand…
Was that the point though? I don’t think they implied that children knowingly act up.
It certainly reads like it. As in they should be grateful that you spent so much money instead of complaining about xyz
Wow, you people are very emotional about this topic.
Yes, kids act up. Yes, that's okay. Yes, it's okay that I am not the right person to deal with that on a daily basis.
All children are different just like adults. There are many adults I could describe as obnoxious, entitled assholes, but that doesn't make me write off all adults. The last thing I would describe my 3 year old daughter as at Disneyland was obnoxious. If anything she was better behaved because she was so happy and realised we had done something nice for her by taking her there. She was spontaneously giving us hugs when there which she doesn't normally do. Sure, she got tired and a little cranky at the end of each day but it was far outweighed by her good behaviour and she was never even close to obnoxious by anyone's standards. Caveat: I am her biggest fan and you can feel free to write off my comments as biased but I expect you to anyway because you exhibit all the signs of prejudice.
For the record, I did see some kids acting a bit entitled and obnoxious, but I'd say that they were in the minority and it was a fleeting moment as you passed them by so who is to know if you didn't just witness the one instance of bad behaviour in their whole day.
When you are prejudiced against something though you take on the evidence that reinforces your view and ignore the evidence which contradicts. I expect if you were at disneyland or anywhere else surrounded by children behaving well your mind would not acknowledge that, I.e. You'd simply ignore or not notice well behaved children. But any time there is one child in your vicinity who is not behaving well I bet you do notice and take note and think "See? All children are obnoxious little shits"
Reasons why you don't have children no.1: you don't like them.
Reasons why you are obnoxious no 1: you think it is funny or clever to imply you have at least 78 reasons to not have children and in doing so show us that you are fine with judging whole groups on the behaviour of a few of its members.
I certainly hope you can find it in yourself to be a bit more understanding about kids in the future.
I don’t have kids either but I don’t fault children for having undeveloped brains and being subject to their (hopefully decent) guardians’ decisions, for better or worse.
We all have bad days, but kids don’t always have the skills yet to manage that. Hopefully you can share that kindness with others and they share back with you. /gen

I’d rather have an obnoxious kid than a dense kid.
It would appear you were not obnoxious.
I'd rather have a kid who didn't think in binary options.
I’d rather you didn’t have kids pal. It doesn’t appear that you have the mental maturity to raise a kid that wouldn’t need therapy later in life.
I say this as someone who had parents with the mindset of your original comment. Like you don’t even know why this person threatened to assault their kid, you just side with them.
I mean he said he didn’t want kids? I don’t know why you’re insulting him? Most people that don’t want kids acknowledge that they wouldn’t be good parents. He didn’t say he took their side either, he just said essentially that he can’t tolerate that behavior. Which is why he’s not a parent. I don’t understand why people get angry when someone says “I’m not good with kids so I don’t want kids”. Like aren’t you and them essentially saying the same thing? It’s like getting angry at someone for not drinking because they know they’re susceptible to addiction
I also don’t want kids and wouldn’t be a good parent, but for different reasons.
Fwiw, I am glad you don't have kids.
I'm glad those unborn kids won't have to wage slave to pay crippling living expenses.
You cannot get consent from the unborn to give them life.
I wonder what she would have said if they were at Disney World
It's the most magical place in earth
There used to be a legend when I grew up around Orlando that they would use helicopters to airlift people out of the park to die in Celebration (the town they owned next door and paid to make infrastructure better) to ensure that they maintained the ideology that no one dies at Disney
It took me many re-reads to understand that people weren't having celebratory arranged deaths at Disney
Untapped market.
110% that’s no legend. If someone dies on a ride or something, the corpse is carried to the parking lot or transported outside the park before being declared dead by the on-site medic.
