If you're in a grocery store with 1 wife and 3 kids, don't hog the aisle.

Sheesh. People nag my generation (X, Y, Z) for not being polite. Yet these tweps were in their mid-40s.

WTF is wrong with people these days? What happened to consideration? While, yes, some people may be forgetful once in a while, it may be of interest to note this happened on my grocery trip TWICE today in the same store by TWO sets of "families".

Never mind how the kids run around like animals, as if they have huge day-glo pink signs that read "Please run me over with your cart because my parents are dipshits. That way they can sue and win big money for their mistakes."

1. I hate the ones that let their little darlings ram the cart into people,
and things.

3. Right on!
And teach him to fight back bullies and not go running to the principal, et al when a bully tries to be a bastard. School districts do jack shit. Nor did they in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982...

You need to print up a bunch of stickers with this message. Then attach them to every unattended child you see...

5. I hate it when people let their very young children wander.
Mom or dad is on one side of the aisle scanning shelves, and little 2or3years old is on the other side, and I'm trying to get through. As a parent I know how scarry it is for a child when someone gets between them and their mom or dad, but why the hell do I have to stand there for 5 fucking minutes till you move off, or panic your kid.
