Ok, so i go to the Thursday night cruise in with my wife, and two other couples. One couple just had a grand baby. So, now they bring it to the cruise in. Then the baby's mother shows up. Now they are all goo gooing over this baby. Feeding it, changing it's diaper, etc. My buddy from the other couple, and I hate this crap. We get up, and walk off. Are we the jerks for not wanting to be around that, or are they wrong to bring a baby to an adult event?

Both.:D
But I would also be one of the jerks that walked off.
I don't go to a "cruise" to see someone's waterhead kid.:D
 
I’m also on the both fence. Infant baby, not so much. I did bring my infant daughter to car meets with the wife. I should also note that she was the most well behaved baby. Quite, sociable, non intrusive and never interrupted when she got older.
When the situation arose, the baby was removed. Changing babies is not publicly acceptable by myself.

When I go to meets, which are different from shows, I do not have any want to be near a baby.
Car shows should be adult only.


Just my opinion

It falls in the same category as taking an infant to a restaurant, which in my opinion is a thoughtless thing to do to everyone else there.
The same category as some dick blowing his nose at the table, instead of going to the restroom to do it.
Or the guy spitting on the sidewalk while you wait for a table.
Or a waitress that tries to sweep around/under my table while I eat.
 
As long as their not crying/screaming or barking, cocking their leg up to pee on tires, I`d be all right with it. Nobody wants to see changing a shitty diaper or breast feeding in public without covering.

An infant at a restaurant is fine. Loud or screaming baby’s should be removed. Calmed down and brought back to the table.

Blow your nose where ever and where ever it needs to be done. Get up for it? Now that’s a joke!

If you HAD to spit, I’d understand. Repeatedly spitting... not so much.
 
Have them bring the kids to the Carlisle in July, bet that will last a hour!

No joke at all, I feel it's rude and disgusting to hear someone's snot gurgling during dinner.
I'd put up with the baby and the spitting if we can just agree no nose blowing at the table.:D

I also find blowing noses at the dinner table to be vulgar. Same with picking your nose, digging in your ear, farting, wearing a half gallon of cologne, perfume, or crying babies, or kids bouncing on the seat behind me (since usually the booth seats are attached).

You are about where I am on all of it.
I also can't stand someone chewing with their mouth open either which is really common for some reason.
 
Although I am very respectful, and always dismiss myself if I have to sneeze or blow my nose, or anything of the like. However, I actually pay little attention to other people at other tables, other than to scan for the shooter, and babies seldom, if ever, show up on my radar. Most are well behaved, and even most kids are as well. If I'm at a car show, I would not even pay attention to a baby, unless I was introduced to one in conversation. If someone wants to bring a baby, or change a baby, it's none of my business and I am not offended in the least. Heck, sometimes I wish I could just go when and where I want to, it sure would be handy!

Now dogs?? I go out of my way to meet as many dogs as the owners will allow. Dogs are a true measure of a person or situation, they are very acute to their situation and surroundings, and often can alert to danger before it starts.
 
I'm indifferent to strangers babies. Not a fan of parents making the baby the center of everyone's attention
for the duration in the immediate area though.
 
As long as I don't have to deal with the child I think it is a good thing IF it keeps the woman happy.
My wife doesn't have any interest in car.
Count you self lucky if the ball and chain will go to the thing you want to do.
Stop crying yourself. That's for the infant.
Maybe they will even let you watch dinner time at Hooters.

All the things listed I do not like. But, I’m not going out of my way to chastise someone on it. These are also things I don’t do at the table when eating in or out.
(Except blow my nose at home. I don’t find it vulgar. Just something to avoid if possible. Rude? Yea. Vulgar? No.)

Many years ago I blew my nose at the table on a date. I had massive allergies at the time. She got a horrified look on her face and said she would never dine with me again! I have not done it since. In a public place, I think it is good to have manners. At the race track, you can be your rude self! LOL.

Back of the room, facing the exit. That's where I sit.

Another good reason to have electric exhaust cutouts.

Insider if you were suffering from Mother Nature! I say screw her.
If I would not have done that otherwise. Even more so in a date. At home, fine. Eating out, only with family. With other strangers, negitive.
