Fellow member Raz Kaz posted a thread about Family (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2130254#post2130254) and how there are too many roudy kids in the house among other things. This led me to think of my own experiences but in restaurants.

Sometimes I want to take my girl to a nice fun restaurant, but it never fails that once we sit down, the hostess usually places along side us or near us a family with roudy kids. Now mind you, some parents control their kids. But its the ones that let their kids cry, scream, run about like theres no care in the world. :banghead: What is it with these parents? Are they in the frame of mind that since they have to deal with it all day that they have to subject the rest of the world to the same type of torture? I say, just like they have non-smoking sections they should also have non-kids sections. Am I the only one with bad luck going to restaurants. Has anyone else gone through this or have similar stories to tell?
TS out

Just pick up one of the routy kids by the shirt, walk over to parents, hold the kid up and say in a stern voice " is this yours?", drop kid on parents lap and walk away. That should shut them up

Putting up with noisy kids in a restaurant is bad, but not as bad as putting up with rowdy kids on a plane, kids whose parents feel they have no obligation to try to control their behaviour. THAT is hell my friend. Hell.

Oh God, I'm going to be stuck on a plane for quite smoe time in the near future, hope nothing liek this happens.
:lol2: Hey twospirits. welcome to my world, at least this was a short thing, mine lasts until I fucking leave for England

Just do what I do. Start making comments loud enough so the parents and other people(who are annoyed as well) can hear you. Make them smart ass comments too, like "It sure is quite in here tonight". Sometimes the parents get a little pissed and try and talk shit, but then when you come in with the comments of how they can't control their own kids and that they're going to be the ones stealing shit from me and others in the future it get hillarious.

Just a suggestion.

I guess you are right crayzayjay, a plane would be worse. At least with in a restaurant I can go outside to get away from the screaming. You can't do that in a plane.

Hey Texas, not a bad idea, but with my luck the parents would look like contestants on the WWF. I'll never get out alive.:lol:

i did that once when i was at the movies. I triped this little shit who felt it was fun to run up and down the isels(sp) during the movie making noises. The theater wasnt that crowded so i knew whos kid it was. saw um come in right. so i triped the little bastard, and picked him up by his shirt and draged him down the bottom to the door and threw him out the door. I walked back to my seat with a few people claping and i looked at the dad and whipered "I hope it doesnt run in the family" and sat down.

The only place kids should be in a restaurant:



























On the menu.

:lol2: Instead of the Royal Rumble, it'll be the Restaraunt Rumble.......okay yeah that's kinda gay:uhoh:

Oh if you guys wanna talk about the planes, I got stuck sitting beside a little 7 year old and after about 4 hours I looked at him and said " Do you want to play outside little boy?" The kid didnt get it but the mother sure has a surpised look on her face,and for some reason the flight attenedent was real nice to me afterwards :)

Anytime I see young kids in a nice restaurant, I get nervous. It generally means that they couldn't find a baby sitter who could tolerate the little bastard.

I don't usually have many problems with annoying kids in restaurants. Movie theaters are where the little buggers piss me off. Whining and complaining because they are tired of waiting in line and they want to see the movie NOW, then running up and down the aisle, throwing popcorn, and kicking seats after they get bored of the movie in 15 minutes. If they really piss you off, knock your pop over onto they head. Most theaters give out free refills, so spilling a bit of pop is no big loss. :evillol:

Hey Damien, are you still looking forward to a 35 hour flight to New Zealand?

35 hour flight? :eek:



mines a "12" hours flight

you think that's bad?

i WORK in a restaurant.


yeah.


:uhoh:

I've noticed something since I came to NZ. Whenever we go to a proper restaurant (as opposed to Mcdees) I've never seen any small, loud, annoying kids. Why? Chances are they're all down getting fat at Mcdonald's. It's great! Quiet eating is the win.

I say, just like they have non-smoking sections they should also have non-kids sections.
that would be nice since around here they passed a law saying no smoking in public buildings.

I'm all in favour of restaurants that have a 'no minors after 8pm' policy. Right now,I'm looking for a place to celebrate my 18th wedding anniversary,but have yet to find a restaurant that prohibits nagging wives.

Whos taking a 35 hour flight to NZ?

You're being ripped off :D

I ment round trip. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

You coming down? It's a bit bloody cold for holidaying right now!

you think that's bad?
i WORK in a restaurant.
yeah.
:uhoh:


yeah, i work at a Chili's. Lots of kids come in there :mad:
I groan everytime I have a table with kids.
My son is still little so he sleeps most of the time we go out to eat, but when he's older, I'll be damned if he screams and runs around.
Fuck that.
Those kids that are running around the restaurants are gonna end up in jail anyway when they are older.
Parents have to understand they have to teach their children manners when they are young otherwise their bad behavior will only get worse.

my :2cents:

All of this is soo funny and gives me so many Ideas. :)

I like this 1 "Is this yours" lol :)

Try this one....

When the kid runs around screaming for attention. Get up, walk over to the kid and slap the fuck outta him. Then proceed to hand over the kid to the owners (parents) and quietly, calmly repeat one of the following
1."First time it's the kid, next time I'm coming after the roots"
2."Now I didnt want to have to do that, but he brought it onto himself. Now dont make me have to do it again"
3."You're next punk!"

LOL! That was sick Ill keep those lines in mine. I like the 1 where th kid was on the plane and is like you want to play outside and the mother looks at him.

Thats fine and dandy if you visit a restuarant of little people, where everone is smaller than you, but if they are bigger than you I doubt you will do that. Besides, hitting (someone elses ) kid is not the answer. Usually a good yell to either the kid or parents should be fine enough.

Btw I revised my original idea to, "buy them a chocolate sundae for desert and sprinkle exlax slivers on top."

Its not hitting it picking up the thing and removing it from the premisis.

Wel then putting into a different situation where the parent is bigger than you.

Proceed with the following, attemp to give the child drugs/alcohol and then simply call in the police to arrest the parents for neglect. In extreme cases you might even be able to secure the child in a foster home where they will learn a little thing called respect. And as a bonus, parents might even have to take parenting classes
:thumbsup:

HAHA thats such a good Idea.

Raz, perhaps when you have kids of your own ,you will know better.If anyone tried either of the stupid ideas that you have put forward on my kids,they'd get their teeth handed to them in a plastic bag.If you are incsapable of sharing public places with other people,stay at home.

Kids of my own? I practically raised my younger brothers, sister and cousins. I joke around with that stuff, if you actually take the past post as something serious then thats your problem. Some of us liek to joke around to ease the stress.

I actually dont mind noisy kids all that much, I have lots of patience, growing up in a huge family with many younger siblings and relatives, you pick up that trait.

joking about abusing children is not funny,moron.

How old are you to be complaining about the contents of this forum?
Everyone has their sense of humor....if you dont find it funny, it does not mean that the other person lacks intelligence and/or common sense.

good day

I'm old enough to have kids of my own,and to appreciate a quiet meal out as well.And furthermore,I'm mature enough to figure out how to get what I want without making idiotic comments about beating up on children.

It does not automatically mean that you are not funny if I don't think you are,but you should seriously look at getting a life dude.There's more than just me who find you tiresome.

Idealistically, children free restaurants are a brilliant concept. It caters to a corner of the market obviously affected by Children in restaurants. If the restaurant is clearly advertised as such, with firm guidelines as to what constitutes a 'child', then all the hippies who will inevitably decry the restaurant as an infringement on their rights can jump off a tall building.

there are a lot of the nicer resturants here in phx in which you will rarely ever see someone under 14. a lot of the time, if someone is there with younger children, they'll just have to wait for a table up front... away from the general population of the resturant (and an extra 30 min wait usually gets people to leave).

the problem with resturants like that though, are that if you aren't willing to pay close to $100 for you and one other person to eat... you're gonna have to deal with other resturants, and the kids that you'll find in them.

end point: "children free" resturants are around, you just pay for that feature.



and raz, no... you aren't funny.

Well it depends in N.Y most resturants who have smart waitresses (not all) will seat you away from most children if your on a date or just with an older group some places have a whole separate enclosed area for the children its called non smoking lol. (no I do not smoke) it beats the yelling of kids anyday. :smokin:

Oz ~ with firm guidelines as to what constitutes a 'child', then all the hippies who will inevitably decry the restaurant as an infringement on their rights can jump off a tall building. lol Hippies :rofl:

I totally agree that smoking sections have less if no kids whatsoever. But the problem with that is with me, although I smoke and so does my cousin, everybody else in the family do not. (Even though I don't like smoking in a resturant anyway).

Shoot one day I'll hit the lotto :smile:, and I create a one children free eatery.

Sure if there are any for sale :lol2:. But i'm not the "elder" one here that's arguing with someone else on the in-ter-net about not being funny. If you don' like my jokes, don't comment. Simple isn't it?

I like the Japanese Totami rooms (correct me if im worng on the name) They are completely enclosed with the rice paper around the whole room. 2 restuarants I kno have that its great you can eat in peace with out any interuption what so ever and all you hear is the indoor water fall.

i keep picturing raz in south park going "kick the baby" lol

I dont believe in a "Children Free" restaurant, but maybe the restaurant could have a big sign, making it clear as day, that if your child is disrupting others for more than like 5 minutes, you MUST leave. And, this would have to be legal so noone could sue/not leave. I think it would be a great idea. I, and my 2 siblings, was very well behaved after about 2 1/2 years old. Like all children, I did have small fits now and then, but if my family went out to dinner, I behaved the best you could expect from a child my age. If i was tired, of course i would act up a little bit. But trust me, If i was screamin and yellin, my mom would simply take me outside, and tell me if i kept actin like that we would have to go home, and all i would get to do is eat some cereal and go to bed. cereal and bed, or chicken strips, fries, and fun...i usually picked the fun & good food.

Yeah, if i would have been like that when i was a kid i would have gotten striped with my dad's belt. Plus my mom always bribed me with ice cream. :smile:

Ill tell you who doesn't put up with snotty little kids, nurses. They dont put up with shit from no one, at least the experienced nurses. I was in the hospital waiting room at virginia beach, the nurse came out in time to see a bunch of little kids pushing each other around in wheel chairs and lying across the whole floor with blankets, and i swear steam came rolling out of those ears, bout that time the mom walked up and the nurse threatened to turn her into child services for leaving her children unattended... :rofl:

What the hell did you just say?

Raz, shut up.

What the hell did you just say?

Its ok I understand if you dont know what they are :disappoin

Btw piss post take it into account @ all? :loser:

In simple terms for you its a PAPER/WOOD BOX that ENCLOSES a TABLE like a separate ROOM so as no 1 is disturbed when they are EATING. understand????

I would just like to ask a couple of you a nice friendly question..... You seem to not like what Raz_Kaz has typed on this forum in an effort (which was nicely done) to be humorous. To be honest, if you dont like what he wrote.....well then DONT FUCKING READ IT! Is this hard? Maybe some of you cant get the whole concept of this?
Well then let me explain to you......

You see, there's something in AMERICA called freedom of speech. I'm not sure where some of you are from and frankly i couldnt give a flying fuck. But.......if he wants to joke about shutting kids up, that's his right. Do you see a sign that say's anywhere on Automotive Forums that you have to read each and every post? No...
So if you dont like it, skip it. Dont tell him what or how to write because you are lacking a sense of humor.
P.S.- I'm done with my attitude trip and i realize that YOU too are entitled to an opinion. So i would like to hear why you think joking is such a horror. See ya.

90Stangjc ~ :iagree: You should have the right to be opionated.
