THANK YOU!!! I hate that one. This kind of ties in- people who don't know (or blatantly disregard) how to operate a four-way stop.

This reminded me of something that happened to me a couple months ago. I was at a restaurant, and someone kept tickling their child and making them yelp and squeal for ALL to hear. This was parent induced. When the child wasn't being tickled, she was yelling. At one point, the child was standing on the table. Everyone in that section was getting pissed and people were just leaving. Some tables tried to get their waitress/waiter to get the manager; nothing ever came of this. Finally, I had enough and was just trying to enjoy my meal. I walked over there and said as calm as I could, "Excuse me, I know you think it's precious, but could please control your kid." Normally, I would of inserted several expletives, but I figured it would be best to keep things civil. The table behind the mother causing the trouble chimed in and stated that they were annoyed also. The mother really didn't say much and never really apologized. I went and sat down and five minutes later a manager comes up. He then tells me to stop bothering his patrons. WTF? I tried to tell him that I wasn't the one chasing off his customers. One of the tables around me came to my defense. It was a ridiculous situation. In the end, I left pretty pissed off and won't go back. I can't blame the restaurant for their customers, but it was completely mishandled by management.
