Don't blame the kids, it's the parents fault. Kids are just being kids, acting out to the limits that their parents allow. I find it more annoying when I see adults that are loud and vulgar while kids are around. Adults should be able to control themselves better than children.

The ignorant fuckers that allow their offspring to stand up in the seat and peer over the booth at the diners behind them. That is the height of rudeness and inconsideration. I will not tolerate that, and all hell will break loose if said ignorant parents don't nip that in the bud STAT. Since I am not a kid friendly person in the first place, I immediately inform the host or hostess that I do not want to be seated near any kids. It's better and safer for everyone.
My apologies if you've ever been looked at by a two year old in a burger joint. I do let my son climb up and look around, hadn't realised it was that annoying.
If a two-year old was looking at me at a burger joint I would play peek-a-boo with him.
Yeah, that's when my silly faces start.

Ugh....
I was at McDonalds with my son back in the summer, and there was this middle-aged woman talking loudly on her cellphone carrying on about her last Gyno. exam and how it compared to her last sexual encounter in full, unabashed, detail. Now this is a McDonalds, on a weekend, full of kids. The manager stepped out and asked the woman to leave, and shet got pissy cause "If people are offended by a woman's body maybe they shouldn't bring their kids out in public."
Riiiiiiggggggght. Meanwhile, I'll not highjack this thread any further.
Yes, I am right. I usually am, barring one or two times.

Along those same lines, a lady brought two kids (looked to be about 4 to 6 years old each) to see ZombieLand, which is rated [R]. We heard her complaining to the manager about the swearing when my friends and I were leaving the theater. Some people just have nerves of stupid.

Oh, tell me about it- I was at a birthday party at a skating rink sitting by 2 little girls and I had to censor myself twice. I felt awful.
Usher story:
Freddy vs Jason. Couple of kids 10/11 years old, dropped off by their father. The law says you have to have an adult with you in your underage in a "R" rated movie. So we stop dad as he's going out the door, tell him what's going on, he says Okay he'll stay or he can take the kids home if there's a problem. Nice guy, wasn't all drama (which is norm with parents we had to tell to stay with their kids), he didn't really want to see the movie (not into horror) but he'd stay for the kids so we comp him a ticket and a soda.
So the AM brings the boys out and we go over the rules with them, the father is nodding and saying he didn' t know but it's not a problem. Then he asks why it was rated "R", so we tell him and he says "Okay, we're going home you told me it was only naked women and sex, not some sick slasher shit!".
It was hard not to die laughing as we wrote him out slips for free passes, while he's just blasting these kids for being into slasher movies. How was their mother raising them, tits and pussy was one thing but watching people cut each other up, he was going to have to have a talk with their mother....

That sounds like the coolest guy ever!

I'm telling ya' get a job as a usher, even for 1 summer. Pay is shit, but you get some stories out of it, and it's just fun. Free food, free movies, and you get paid to be a dick to people.
We caught two guys with a fake ID sneaking into an "R" rate show.
1) Fake ID for a theater? Seriously, dumbass use the self-service machine in the lobby, we don't card when we tear, and for the most part unless you look screamly underage and the GM or DM is there that day fuck it, we'll let you in.
2) You've just made yourself our bitch.
Cut to us spending the next 90 minute constantly card-checking these guys, or walking the show and shying the light in their face, etc.

That's a great story and the dad is right. I'd rather my kid saw nudity than explicit violence.
I will say that if you are going to lay down decent coin to go out for a meal, the last thing you want to hear are screaming kids. It definitely takes away from the experience. I've learned to stick to expensive restaurants or micro-breweries/pubs.
But at the pub you get screaming and crying adults.
But after you punch eachother in the face you tell another how much you love them.
At least that's my experience anyway.
For some reason I find them far less annoying.
Is it because you're joining in? And possibly telling JonathanWally that you love him, too?
^ Even though I hold my liquor rather well, that has occasionally been the case. 
P.S. I don't know JonathanWally IRL, but after enough drinks, I'm sure we'd be patting each other on the backs.

I'm dead serious.I'm always on the lookout in restaurants for people like the OP or some of the other posters in here who have a beef with kids. Then I deliberately have my four year old annoy them.
I hope you're kidding.
I sympathize with some of the extremes in this thread, but I also can tell that some of the people complaining who don't have children simply don't get it. When those people are sitting at Olive Garden glaring at my daughter simply for existing, she's probably going to start jumping on her booth seat. At my encouragement.
There are a few posters in this thread who would just be waiting for her to act up so they could be pissed. I like to make sure they're happy.
As you will have seen when you read the next post I made, if the person is getting annoyed by it I stop him. I never let my kids annoy anyone.
