poor parenting comes in all shapes and forms. Today I was shopping with Mrs L and the boys. They were off doing their own thing and I was sitting in a quiet part of the store, near a little used exit. I was just relaxing, minding my own business when a guy walks in yacking on his phone with his @ 5 year old boy following. the guy walked from rack to rack without ever looking at his kid who proceded to bug the shit out of me for no less than 25 minutes. At one point I literally told him to go find his dad and ask him why he shouldn't try to sit in a stranger's lap. No sight of dad, even though i could hear his voice roaming around.

Finally Mrs L signaled that my torture was over and we were leaving but I couldn't dial down my inner asshole. I passed the dad on my way out and had a simple compliment for him, "I really admire your ability to trust I'm not a child rapist since I just spent 25 minutes alone with your son". The fucker didn't even close his phone. He just gave me a dirty look and kept on going.
