I guess if I had a child I would think they could do no wrong and everything they said was cute. I am glad you reminded that woman not to talk to strangers.
I have also noticed that children occure a lot in crowd of people, which compounds the issue. If a single child is not in a crowd they are less likely to be loud.

Haha--I'm with you, injest--if I know the person, I do tell them to answer--the momma doesn't even seem to hear the kid!
I'm mad when people on the interstate take forever to pass--geez, stay in the slow lane until I get by!!! Also when traffic is fairly heavy and people in the slow lane scoot over into my lane to let people merge!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!! The merger is the one who is supposed to slow down---not me. (I don't mind scooting over if there's no traffic.)Basically, any time I have to get off "cruise" and I feel it's unwarranted, I'm mad.
Store clerks who, when I am checking out, do not acknowledge what I say to them because they are too busy visiting with the next clerk over.
People who don't say thank-you when someone opens a door for them. It's just polite to say thanks.
Okay, that's all for now. Thank-you for letting me get that off my chest!

One of my pet peeves -- yeah, there are a lot of them -- is drivers who can't park their cars within the lines in parking garages, especially when they make it impossible for anyone to use the adjoining space. I always feel they should have to pay double.

Is it just me, but are all people under the age of 10 totally irritating, whinny, loud, spoiled, egomaniacs or what? Why is it every time they are out in public they have to be constantly demanding the attention of the adult they are with? Why is it when two or more of them gather one or all of them ends up crying? Why is it everytime I am in a restaurant the child in the next booth or table ends up trying to communicate something to me with their eyes?!?!

Yes, Truman, I think it was just you having a bad day :). While in SF, I met the sweetest most adorable little 3 year old boy - love at first sight, without a doubt. But children are active and curious little sponges, and the adults with them need to pay attention to them. If you're not going to pay attention to the child, why'd you bring him or her along, anyhow?
The children are looking at you from the next booth or table because you emit a special aura of kindness that is attractive. You should just smile at them or say 'Hello, How are you?' They're just people in miniature size. ;)

Uh, that sounds like a lot of so-called adults I know. ... :-\
(Except maybe for the crying part. ...)
