I was seriously dreading this because it happened in Barnes and Noble a lot. We had a maintenance team though so they were always the ones to deal with it (I've had my turns cleaning poop before) but I'm here alone all weekend. It'd be me because that dad sure as hell wasn't going to do sh*t.

The father is not watching him at all. He's looking at books. The child is actually pretty well behaved but can't help himself sometimes. Just now, he went outside and I had to tell the father that he did this. He ran out there because there's a main road next to us. They're back inside now and the father is, again, ignoring the child.

I'm so close to asking them to leave, not because of the child, but because this f*cking dude refuses to keep an eye on his son. Take a f*cking hint Dad. Special needs children are more than welcome here but unless you're ready to pay for things he breaks, his special needs is not an excuse to just let him destroy my store. I don't want to ask them to leave because it'll upset the child but what the f*ck dude!?
Ask the kid what music he likes and bump that **** in the store no matter what it is. Special needs people love to feel like they're truly connecting with you because so many people condescend to them like they're small children even if they don't realize that they want this. This is why I love my retarded coworker because I'm pretty sure he's treated like a child pretty much all of the time and I don't treat him like that beyond not calling him stupid and I think he really responds to that and we have fun.

I figured later that it wouldn't have done any harm to tell the asshole off because
he never showed his face in the store ever again (maybe out of embarrassment).

I once sat behind someone with Down's syndrome in a public bus. She was blasting this at epic levels on her headphones.

If your parents ever let you run around the neighborhood from dawn till dusk or bike around or kicked you out until dinner cause kids need to be outside then you have no room to talk. And plenty parents of your generation did that **** so you still have no room to talk. Parents have always wanted to have kids to justify themselves as adults and then wanted to not deal with them. This is not a new phenomenon. Do not be a stereotype who thinks that the world is going downhill because of the next generation.

****ing great. Retarded people aren't even aware of our standards and therefore break them in the ways we all should.

I don't think I'm missing the point. I think the point is that you, as always, feel nostalgic for your heyday and feel that everything after that that doesn't reflect what you already thought was good is crap. You come off as an old curmudgeon who desperately wants to be the cool grandpa but still doesn't get generations after your own.

News flash. People have been raising children and being children for the entirety of human existence and have always thought that the next generation was getting it wrong. If this was true then your generation would be crap parents too.
