Put the phone away and watch your damn kid!

[Sarah_Jayne]

some people piss me off. I just got back from a trip to the doctors and on my way back I see this mother with her daughter - had to me maybe four years old - walking behind her while she talked away on her mobile phone. Meanwhile the little girl is #1 behind her so she can't see what she is doing and #2 walking along the edge of the sidewalk and kept almost stepping into traffic. I couldn't help it, I actually said 'hey! watch her she is going into traffic.' and the lady gave me a snotty look and kept on walking.

people that don't watch their kids.

Agreed.

And, while they're at it, put the damned phone away while they're driving.

[Frank The Tank]

[Sarah_Jayne]

What kills me are the people who drive holding the phone to the ear on the opposite side of the hand they are holding it with (blocking their peripheral on that side with their wrist) or who nearly hit you then give you a dirty look like you should be watching for them while they make their call.

Should be illegal in North America too. You can add eating while driving as well.

[cypocrypt]

illegal in NY too....i just found out the hard way not too long ago...

[RFlagg]

In some states (like in Florida) it is illegal to eat and drive, not that it's enforced mind you...

as for the cell phone users who think their conversation is more important than driving...I have found a new use for my horn...

Some people just don't deserve to have kids.

[LadyMischief]

There really needs to be some kind of testing or something before some people are allowed to breed. The parental stupidity is rampant up in these parts too.

you know... it kills me you have to have a licecense to drive and to own a dog but any idiot can have a kid!

I hate the ppl who give you dirty looks in the store when your kid acts up and you don't do anything to make them stop!

[Scott McD]

I've went crazy a few times when i see (mostly) women with kids who are running about at the side of the road, while they are either too busy chatting away, or as in your case, on the phone.


They do give you that look, but what they don't see is that your actually doing more for her kid by looking out for them then she is. If the kid does get hit by the car, it's all the drivers fault...

bad mother, why is she having a kid if she is not even able to watch her.
In Czech is illegaly too driving and talking on cell phone and it's just good thing. Most people think that nothing can't happened to them and whent it's happen they are asking how it's happened? Dumb asses.

well, only problem with that would be who gets to decide who can have kids

[cherrylula]

I see that all the time, except instead of a phone usually mom is pushing a stolen shopping cart or stroller with a pack of kids trailing all over the damn place on busy streets.

And if someone would open a chain of stores where kids are not allowed I would shop there every damn day because like 95% of people don't watch their kids.

I swear, I was in line at the grocery store once, and in the cart in front of me was a 1-2 year old little boy who grabbed one of those plastic grocery seperator sticks and was trying to hit me. His mom made one comment to him about it then like turned away. The kid was whacking everything in his reach with this stick. I wanted to grab it from him smack his mom with it.

People should have to qualify to breed.

[kimzar]

thats messed up for the kid, i agree people like that

I feel qualified for that position. LOL.

It's illegal in many states to drive, talk, and eat...and, let's not forget those wonderful kids who think getting a blow job while getting onto the freeway is a real high...oh, and speaking of driving while drunk, high, altered, etc....

Some perv could have grabbed her kid and been long gone before she even noticed. It makes me SO upset when I see parents behaving with such carelessness

I suggest a mandatory birth control once that medicine gets perfected. I dont care who breeds, I just want them to be forced to make that decision. No more "oops" babies.

[Firehorse]

Parents with very little commonsense and awareness are so dangerous!
