"Momma"
"Momma"
"Momma"
"Momma"
I want to just scream "ANSWER THE KID!!"
Argh!! How hard is it to just say "What?"

The reason they don't answer the kid, Jess - and I know from experience with my sister and her child - is because the child does this all the time so the parent has learned to tune them out. Unfortunately, while this tactic works well at home, it doesn't spare the ears or nerves of the rest of us out in public.
--- Quote ---I was in a store one time looking at a magazine...an older lady tapped me on the shoulder and said "My granddaughter is trying to tell you Hi!"
I said "I taught my child not to interrupt adults or talk to strangers"
and went back to looking at the magazine. (felt bad later though... :P )

That was a bit abrupt, Jess - so much for 'it takes a village', eh? ;) - but that was presumptuous of the grandma to be so brainwashed by grandchild-love that they think total strangers will ooh and ahh over their grandkids like they do. :P
My co-worker in the next cubical over is one of those grandmotherly types who turns into a bragging, blithering, grinning idiot whenever her grandkids so much as fart or burp over the phone to her. She is so glassy-eyed herself that she doesn't notice my eyes glazing over when she tells me Grandkid Adventure Stories that are neither cute nor interesting. :-\

They know you won't run them down, and will slow down or stop for them. They have no problem blocking traffic. And they don't hurry either, just strolling in front of you.

This is very dangerous behavior but they don't seem to care.

Reminds me of the time about a year ago I had a guy about 20 years older than me walk right into me when I stopped at an intersection instead of continuing on into the street.
"Why'd you stop?" he asked in an indignant tone.
Well, I'd stopped because the light was red.
Dumbass mule. ... >:( >:( >:(

My pet peeve of the day:
People who take the aisle seat of two unoccupied seats on a bus--and then don't move over to the window seat as the bus fills up. ... >:(
