Why do the comments take forever to load now?
Babies are never cute, they are always just annoying. The orange bar should be minimum.
You were one once…you’re still annoying, though.
WIN!
I hope the “Points Giver” is still around. We may have a new leader going into this weekend.
I don’t cry in public.
Nash, one day love will find you, and everything will be okay.
No, love will not find me, and I’m quite okay without it. Trying to convince me otherwise is rather futile, not to mention conformist.
You’re crying right now ya big baby with no sense of humor. Go troll elsewhere.
It’s not trolling if I’m stating actual opinions.
No, you aren’t trolling. You’re just being a prick.
I’m stating an opinion and other people are insulting me, yet I’m the prick. Right.
Babies are annoying
What bounces up and down at 100mph?
A baby tied to the back of a truck.
you either, A ) need to be locked in a mental ward, or B) rot in jail, you sick freak
Nash, I wasn’t trying to insult you, nor was I trying to conform you. I am by no means a conformist myself. I just feel like love is a very powerful force, and it can change your mind about a lot of things. There isn’t anything wrong with it. There isn’t anything wrong with not actively seeking it either, which is why I said it will find you and not you will find it. For the record, I like you, despite our difference of opinion on certain things. I just don’t think you’re all that happy of a person based on many of your posts here, and I hope that one day you will be happy. I’m just trying to be a friend. Take it or leave it. As for the comments posted by others here in response to your statement, they are uncalled for and really don’t help anyone out.
You may think I’m not happy, but I don’t think you have enough information to judge. My posts don’t really express much emotion, they are more based on reasoning, which means they don’t really say much about my emotional state.
It also depends what you consider happy; I am not a particularly emotional person, therefore I might not be as happy as an emotional person, but then again I’m never sad. I don’t want to be emotional, so I’m fine with how things are.
As for love, I don’t believe in it and I’m not emotional, which is why trying to convince me I will find it is rather pointless and based around the assumption that everyone is basically the same and wants the same things.
I know it wasn’t an insult, it’s just a misguided attempt to help. I’m not offended by this, I’m just pointing out the futility of such an exercise, in case you might want to redirect your efforts to worthier pursuits.
Fine, but just for the record, I didn’t say that you will find it. I said that it will find you. When you least expect it. Lol.
… Some day love will find you, break those chains that bind you… couldn’t resist a little journey
awesome
Not so awesome in my opinion… Very cheesy I think…
Fortunately I have no friends who have kids, but I’ve noticed some people find it weird when you don’t want kids. That mentality is more common when it comes to sex/relationships, though, but then you’re not expected to have kids at 26.
I grew up a single child for 14 years, hundreds of miles away from my extended family. I longed for a baby brother or sister. My parents finally had my sister when I was just reaching the depths of puberty, when I was developing a social life. I got to be a built-in babysitter. Before this I loved babies from the time I was a small child. I remember wanting to go up to strangers with babies just so I could get a closer look when I wasn’t much older than a toddler. As a teenager, I didn’t always like the fact that I had to babysit my sister a lot. I didn’t always like the fact that she wouldn’t stop crying for hours at a time. But I never stopped loving her because she was my sister and still is. I don’t care if some of my friends don’t have kids, nor do I care if they want kids. In fact, if you don’t want kids, please make sure you /never/ have any. We have too many children without permanent homes, or worse yet, in abusive homes. As for being stuck at home, I’m not. I work full-time, and I have a social life. When I am stuck at home, I choose to be and therefore don’t feel stuck. Also, I see more clearly now than I ever had before, now that I am a mother. Things are different for me now, and I’m just fine with that. I’m just fine if you want to stay the way you are, but don’t judge me, and I won’t judge you.
THANK YOU. I hate being stuck next to one that’s bawling and the person in charge of it refuses to leave. I hate the way they look, they way the smell, the way they sound… I think they’re the most repulsive things ever to exist, and I can’t see how anyone could consider them cute.
And they only get worse when they reach adulthood and post on forums. Seriously, better a baby in a restaurant than loud cellphone talkers.
LOL.
umm excuse me? u ppl were ALL babies once so give it up already. u think babies are “repulsive???” well when you were a baby maybe someone thought that YOU were repulsive, and they didnt think you were cute. So shut it. Im sick of ppl saying things like that about babies. That one baby on that airplane might just become a great person or hero one day.
What is it with people who think “you were once a baby” is a reason why babies are not ugly and annoying? It seems rather pointless to point such a thing out, I’m confident everyone is aware of this. It doesn’t change how babies look and behave the slightest, nor the criteria for ugly and annoying.
Is it some sort of attempt to appeal to ego? As the case of the above post, arguing if babies are repulsive maybe you were repulsive once. Then, as some sort of feat of extreme arrogance and self-delusion, we would redefine our concept of repulsive just to avoid being associated with it, even if it’s not relevant when applied to us today.
Finally, to further illustrate the absurdity, let’s extend this to rationale to everything about babies. We were all babies once, and we peed our pants, or on the floor, etc. Therefore, pee on the floor is not disgusting, just like incessant shouting is not annoying! I don’t know about you, but I find pee rather disgusting, and I wouldn’t want it on my floor.
I think what everyone should be able to agree on here is that what’s truly annoying are the parents who don’t discipline their children. If my son is being a pest in public or otherwise, I let him know that it is not acceptable behavior, and if he continues to be rude, I have no problem disciplining him. The babies are not to be faulted for bad parenting.
And that baby might just become the next Hitler or Manson!
(ooh, Godwin)
The air plane part is soooo true… Expecially when it’s now a baby but a small 3 years old…
Following situation:
We are on a plana to Italy. Yay, linch time
Some kid 3 seats ahed: “I DON’T WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I DON’T WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I DON’T WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I DON’T WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I DON’T WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 *continue for 6 minutes*”
15 minutes after everyone finished their meals: “I WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 I WANT TO EAT BUHUHUHUH!!!11 *continue for 6 minutes*”
This graph leaves one variable absent: other people’s children are ALWAYS more annoying.
Um … jokes about killing babies?
Not killing them for sport though, so that’s cool. All the parts will be used.
I will, too!
“Could someone take it outside” would also fit for the plane thingie
Rofl! Win
Someone should add in following you around the store as well.I swear no matter how far i get from the baby in the store it seems like it’s right behind me.
In every grocery store I’ve been in, the toddlers are always worse. They scream louder, and the parents often let them walk around and grab things (which includes ripping open boxes)
I dare you to tell me that you never got into stuff as a toddler. All toddlers are naturally curious and like to touch things. And no I am not saying that it is okay for parents to let their kids do things like that, but until they are old enough to know right from wrong and learn to respect other peoples property, then things like that are bound to happen. Grin, bear it, and pray that their parents teach them manners and that if you are blessed to have kids that your kids won’t do that. If they do, just remember your gripe.
We aren’t discussing whether or not it’s normal–we’re discussing whether or not it’s annoying. And it is indeed annoying.
Dare taken~
I honestly never did. Hell, when I was a baby/toddler I never ate anything off the floor or put anything in my mouth and that seems to be a pretty common thing, no?
Even today my parents talk about how “amazing” (overstatement) it was and that it was like I knew better, even as a baby.
Ha HAH!
Well, in that case, good for you! Shall I engrave a trophy in your honor?
Why yes, please! I’d prefer 24k gold, lots of shiny sparklies attached, big and gaudy, with a nice rendering of moi out of pure hot pink diamond – life size, but sexy and with bigger boobs OF COURSE!
?
The hot pink diamond might be hard to find BUT I’M SURE YOU’LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT, RIGHT?
Bull.
It’s especially annoying when you’re the one behind the register/counter and have to smile politely at the parent while their child(ren) won’t stop crying at top volume or wreak(s) havoc on your products/store…
whatever, I still think u guys should quit grumbling and move on
Get over it. Those are a small few. Stop extrapolating on the entire child population because you have a few anecdotes.
Thank you. And again I say, call the parents annoying for allowing it to happen. Any time my son drops anything on the floor, whether we’re at home or in public, I make him pick it up, and when we’re in the grocery store or other place like that, I constantly watch him and make sure he doesn’t touch anything, and if it looks as though he’s about to, I sternly tell him not to, and if he does anyway, I slap him on the hand. Then while he’s crying from being reprimanded, I calmly explain to him why this happened. Because of this consistent disciplinary action, everyone I’ve come across, even people who have sworn that they don’t like kids or never want kids, always tell me what a good boy he is, and he’ll be 3 in December.
Also, the crying doesn’t even last 5 minutes b/c he knows I am not going to respond to it with anything but more lecturing. He does not walk all over me or his daddy. This is why he’s good, because of us.
I assume movie theater is the next one up.
Good Lord! Someone had their baby in “9″ tonight. Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?!
Can you not afford a baby sitter? You sure as hell can afford the extra ticket for that loud sack of meat in your lap. Babies don’t watch this! I don’t care if you’re her “parental guidance”, leave it at home!
By the way, really good movie.
The graph isn’t calibrated to handle that level of annoyance.
It varies from person to person of course.
Personally I don’t go lower than orange.
you forgot church! and concerts! and church!! >:( i hate babies in church
then don’t go to church. problem solved
He has a point
if i don’t go to church, i will rot in hell.
You don’t ROT in hell, you ROT 6 feet underground… Unless I am mistaken, souls do not rot.
You HATE babies in church? That makes Baby Jesus cry. I can’t even imagine how much Satan loves you for hating babies in church. Unreal.
wow, way to take what i said literally.
You should be careful what you say then.
I agree, Devylan: If you don’t want your words twisted so badly, be specific!!
One day you will have a child that won’t behave and people will be giving YOU the dirty looks.
[citation needed]
rofl @ the assumption that everyone has kids~
I will?!? Good to know you can tell my future and ability to discipline children over the internet!!
“I will kill that thing”? God, that’s awful. How ’bout, “I’m going to kill myself” or “Someone get me a parachute” or “Miss, can I get some earplugs?”?
No, “I will kill that thing” sums up my sentiment quite well.
ya its alot easier than finding ear plugs.
and it is way more fun
More humane too
no more humane than someone walking up and “killing” you…such a shame that people who hate kids act like they never were kids, what were you?!
But thing is, when you’ve woken yourself up at 3 AM just to get on this flight to a place that’s on the other side of the country completely, and you find yourself unable to sleep so you pass time by reading H.P. Lovecraft or something but keep reading the same paragraph over and over for some reason, you find yourself wanting to kill all of humanity in general. The baby’s just a good starting point. :3
At least NP has a heart. The thing I think is funny as that when all the “shut that baby up” people have babies- they’ll get to see the other side. Wait until you feel mortified and embarrassment that you can’t calm your crying child in this type of situation. They are just children. Learning their way around the world, learning boundaries, learning proper social behaviors. The best thing you can do is have compassion and realize that the parent is just as frustrated as you- or more likely even more than you. I used to be a “shut that baby up” person- boy have I learned my lesson. You think you have ALL the answers when it comes to parenting and then you have a kid and realize you’re an idiot.
Solution: Don’t have kids. Situation avoided.
Solution: Grow a pair and act like and adult.
Solution: YOU stay home. Situation avoided.
Honestly the whole world does not revolve around you. Act like an adult. Maybe the problem in this situation isn’t the child acting like a child- It’s the adult acting like a child.
The world does not revolve around me, no. It’s called consideration for others. I show it. I don’t shout, bring a ghetto blaster and play loud music, blow smoke in people’s faces etc. Optimally, it should be like you’re not even there. So why should I have to stay at home? I’m not the one annoying people.
Parenting is sacrifice, if you can’t be without shopping, movies, vacations and whatever, don’t have kids. Too many people have kids and let others suffer for it because they aren’t willing to commit to being a parent.
Parenting is a sacrifice, sure, but you are advocating parents confine children to their homes just because you don’t like to hear occasional crying. It sure sounds like you believe the world revolves around you.
Fine, you don’t like the sound of babies crying. That’s ok. But so what? I don’t like heavy traffic, people talking to loud on their cell phones, stuff that costs too much, idiot clerks. But I don’t go around claiming they should all stay home just so I can be a bit more comfortable. How arrogant can you get?
The thing is I don’t think he’s able to grow a pair, and we sure know he can’t act like an adult.
Note how if I argue my case in a calm and rational manner, the baby defenders respond with throwing insults. Ad hominem, the last resort of the person without a solid case.
I don’t believe I am fat enough for the world to revolve around me…
If previous solution fails because of a drunk decision: Duct tape and discipline.
I think they have trouble grasping the fact that some people don’t want kids. This can be the case with people who think kids are so great (“How can you not want them? They’re the best thing ever!”) or the people who turned biology into some sort of religion (“But the point of life is to ensure your genes are carried on! It’s all you’re good for!”).
Okay, baby haters please leave the store, restaurant, church and other places where you are annoyed. Their main form of communication is crying becasue they little and can not speak. If there were able to, I’m sure they would, (and hopefully they’d see your disgust and tell you to F- off) If you don’t like their crying either tune it out, leave the arera or go buy some damn earplugs. Deal with it and MOVE on. And don’t forget, you all were babies yourselves and I am more than willing to bet you probably pissed someone off yourselves when you were that age.
No, the babies can leave, they are not there to buy anything/watch a movie/whatever.
I agree with you.
Me, too. Why should I leave my dinner/worship/etc? I’m the customer (well, not at church, but you know what I mean). Considerate parents take their squalling babies out.
And, what? Buy earplugs for church? Or a movie? Huh?
You have no idea the purchasing power of parents of babies and small children. Feel free to suggest to store managers that they ban babies and small children – see how far you get with that.
I was discussing codes of conduct, not approaches to enforce codes of conduct, though. I just want people to show consideration, and a “right of way” attitude towards parents doesn’t help.
At least if you’re disturbing people in other ways people will criticize you, informing you that your behavior is not accepted and giving you the option to act in an appropriate manner. You may choose to not do so, but you can’t really be surprised if you will be met with annoyance.
Parents with babies, however, as demonstrated by the replies here, are somehow immune to criticism, and suggesting they should show consideration apparently makes YOU the bad person. This gives people a free pass on disturbing others as long as it’s a baby doing the disturbing, providing them with no motivation to cease the disruption.
I’m certainly not ashamed of my views regardless of how much derision I face, and I will not give crying babies a free pass. Parents can ignore my wishes, but they can’t expect me to smile and pretend like it’s adorable or even tolerable.
Dear i_@m_1# STFU NO ONE CARES… they need to get baby sitters.
Gears, If I wanted to hear from and ass, I’d fart.
(subject change attempt) That’s one of the true classic retorts. And my fave swing on it: If someone farts and it’s rather inappropriate, gross, etc., tell him, “If I wanted to hear from an a-hole, I’d ask you a question.” Good, right? Yes.
Oh I’d be more than happy to leave the store, only I’d have to close up too, and tell all the nice folks they can do their shopping elsewhere… Seriously, I’m not a baby hater, but it’s very, *very* difficult to stay calm with a blearing child right next to you and the mother taking her damn time to finish a simple transaction…
“Their main form of communication is crying becasue they little and can not speak” so they should be left at home where they belong instead of being dragged into public places where this behavior is disruptive. Would you bring your dog into a supermarket, or your cat into a movie theater?
I can’t even begin to take this seriously so…lol entitled breeders
Well, I don’t agree with this graph because baby’s are always cute whether they are in joy or crying…Even I have a baby and I love her a lot because she is having a really cute smile…..
I think human babies are the most repulsive form of life ever to have evolved, and I have never seen a baby and thought it was cute or adorable or beautiful. I look at a baby the same way I look at a bag of garbage that was left in the sun all day because the trash company decided to take the day off.
Point?
You’ve looked at yourself as garbage?
I’ve seen pictures of myself as a baby, and I still think I was looked like an ugly-as-sin crap factory. I think all babies look like ugly-as-sin crap factories.
Babies are far from cute. I’ve never seen a cute baby. They always look….weird, almost deformed. If someone starts cooing at a baby, I walk away in disgust.
funny, that’s the same way we feel about you!
I think I know that feeling – it’s sort of like when you lift up a big rock and see a bunch of bugs and worms writhing underneath. You want to put the rock back and cover it up, but with babies, there is no rock to put back on. They are somewhat disturbing to behold.
Why aren’t all the bars in the red zone? That’s the only correct representation.
Someone should be around shortly to insult you.
Well. what do you know? It’s been two days since he posted that, and guess what? No one insulted him. Boy are you an idiot!
And it seems the insults are directed towards the calm people… Again…
This is hilarious….Can’t believe any of y’all are actually taking any of this seriously…
On a plane I’m thinking there might be 2 suitable options to shushing up a squalling crotch dropping
1. Put a nipple on those little bottles of booze
2. Issue curare and blow guns to the staff….
I’m guessing that anybody who is actually offended by that will want to remove the stick from their ass and use it to rap me across the knuckles with it….
All the bars should be near or at the top. Babies are always annoying.
On the phone? Are you kidding? Baby screaming over the phone makes me want to stab my ear with a pencil
“What’s your address?”
“12WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH -andia, Los Angeles.”
“…. What?”
There’s only one living being more annoying than a screeching f*ck trophy: the snotty indignant parent (usually female) who thinks the sun shines out of their issue’s ass/es. “Don’t like it?” the hag shrieks. “Then go elsewhere.” Maternal bitches of the world, hear this now: NOBODY ASKED YOU TO PUSH THAT THING OUT. You are NOT some special and/or supreme being for having done so. Get the hell over yourself and your wailing ball of neediness… and try growing up your own damn selves.
Why don’t you do the world a favor and jump off the Grand Canyon? I am not a mother (by personal choice..I may change my mind. Just to piss people like you off.) But at least I have enough class not to go around bitching about other people’s kids. Motherhood is SPECIAL, but it’s not your fault you can’t see past the end of your nose, you ignorant witch. Your parents probably raised you to hate everyone around you, and to not have a bone of compassion in your body. And by the way, babies are humans, not things. The only difference is THEY have hearts.
Lol. Just lol. Mothers aren’t more special than any other human being on this planet, though I do have some respect for them given how much work it must take to raise a little brat. Kazah was just talking about mothers who actually think they’re better than others just because they’ve given birth. Why make assumptions?
And since when were babies the only creatures with hearts?
okay. Maybe I wasn’t clear. But I said, “MOTHERHOOD is special.” I DID NOT say mother’s were more special. If you can not tell the difference between the two then I suggest you get a dictionary and look them up.
ALSO I did NOT say that babies were the only creatures with hearts (have considered getting an eye exam or perhaps a frontal labotomy?) I said, they have hearts, meaning that Kazah was inhuman. Anything else I need to make clear?!
It’s not my problem if you don’t know how to structure a paragraph. :^y
Yeah, having kids is a selfish act, something to fill some void in your life or whatever. It’s not a great contribution to mankind. Others should not have to suffer for it.
It’s just a biological function which has been done countless times before. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake for giving birth, no more than you are for eating food.
If you decide to have some sort of creature to entertain you, then take care of it and keep it from bothering others. I don’t care if it’s a dog, cat, baby or whatever. Either way it comes down to the same thing: show consideration.
Um, sure. Yeah, replenishing the species does nothing for manking?
Do you actually think children should not be able to go out and learn about the world? What is wrong with your brain? How do you expect people to learn social skills if they’re confined to their house? Are you really that short-sighted?
The world is overpopulated as it is. If you want to do something humanitarian, adopt a child that’s already born but suffering in some orphanage in the third world. As for social skills, you can learn those without bothering people, and arguably you don’t really learn them as a baby. Social skills are overrated either way.
Social skills are overrated?!?! No wonder you’re such a pig!
I may not have good social skills, yet I’m not the one posting insults. So how much are social skills worth, really?
Someone should have given that advice to your mom.
I don’t get why they can’t just put the babies in the cargo hold. Works for dogs; should work for babies too. I’d rather have dogs in the cabin than babies, come to think of it.
I wouldn’t mind cats, cats are at least cute. But that’s just my opinion, and I can understand if other people don’t want cats bothering them, especially if they’re allergic. I can do without cats for the sake of others.
if it should work for babies then it most definately work for you
Infants (and young children) can’t equalize pressure in their ears – so they howl. Taking them on planes constitutes child abuse as you’re causing them SEVERE PAIN.
Thank you! The voice of reason finally spoke!
unlike adults, babies can’t curse , so they cry.
DEAL WITH IT. You would cry too if you were in pain and had no way to tell anyone about it.
But there are ways around it, that’s why babies crying on the plane is an issue. The baby shouldn’t HAVE to be in that pain in the first place! Slip a little benadryl or something so it won’t hurt, just be sleepy.
I can’t see how a parent would willingly put their own child through so much discomfort for what? What good reason could there possibly be to make poor little jimmy suffer for 8 hours?!
Kiddy benadryl
That way they can sleep through the trip. Child’s happy cause it isn’t in pain, everyone else is happy cause kid isn’t screaming.
That parents will put their kids through so much pain is cruel.
I like that idea. I don’t think they had Benadryl for kids when I was six weeks old. (My first plane trip to see my grandparents.) So my doctor told my mom to give me a bottle before take off. She did and I pretty much slept the whole way there.
I don’t know if that advice is any good still since I’m pretty sure medical advice has changed since the late 70s. But then again, I was a napper not a crier.
I don’t think my parents ever had to resort to it (never flew much, slept through it but certainly could be a hellspawn) but I don’t see why not. If you’re concerned it’d hurt em then talk to the doctor~
I wonder what my (pilot) uncle would do in that situation…oh, the imagination can be scary (the dreaded SBD attack?)
i_@m_#1, you call Kazah “inhuman”. Yet here you are attacking everyone else, especially Nash, who has the stones to dialogue with you. Plus, hey, great s/n: “I am #1!” Typical breeder attitude. If you’re going to be a hag, have someone show you what a dictionary is yourself… for example, it’s “lobotomy”, not “labotomy”. Idiot.
i was stuck on a 9 hour flight to germany with a baby right in front of me it cried the entire 9 hours, pretty darn accurate graph
I beg to differ on “over the phone.” My niece hates when attention is on anything but her, so I can’t talk to my sis on the phone without the baby babbling and screeching so loud we can’t hear each other talk.
you forgot in movie theatres
It seems the common age of people commenting is 17 and under. We should talk when you’re 60+ and you’re just sitting in a nursing home without anyone but a CNA to talk to who doesn’t give a crap.
To introduce this contribution, I am a woman in my late 30s – the start of the panic age for women who want kids. Every time I witness misbehaving kids in public (a common occurrence) it makes my biological clock run a bit slower. In fact, I think either I wasn’t issued one or it has actually started running in reverse. So, yes, I find screaming children irritating (I always feel really bad for both the child and the adult who has to cope with the situation), but can still find them cute if they’re not wailing. Just don’t care to have to deal with any of my own day in and day out and certainly don’t care to be subjected to the bad moods of other people’s kids.
I agree with the brave few advocating common courtesy. On a plane, there’s not much you can do, but in most situations if your child is being disruptive you can take them outside until they are calm enough to come back in. Note that I am not saying to leave them at home all the time, just to be sensitive to the child’s mood and respectful of others’ peace. A lot of churches have cry rooms for just this purpose. If yours doesn’t, suggest they consider making one. I’m sure a lot of the congregation would be glad to donate to that cause.
This is exactly what I would have written if I’d had the time and patience to do it. Thanks for putting it so well.
If you’re not very tolerable of other people’s kids, there’s a good chance you’re not going to be any more tolerable of your own. And I feel the same way…I don’t think I was issued a biological clock because I don’t want kids. Sometimes they’re cute, but for the most part I don’t want to deal with any of it. I don’t even like it when my dog whines. lol
each of the sides of the arguement have good points. i cant decide which person to chew out… XD
