I don't have a problem with kids or babies. But just don't get mad at me if I seem uninterested in the baby. I'm the kind of guy who will take time to talk to and explain something to a kid if they seem interested. I've had kids ask me about cars and how things work. I'll make time for that kid. But if you bring your little hellion to a show or cruise in and they run around like little assholes, I'll tell you. There are some exceptions, I understand that there are kids that have problems they can't help, I don't expect them to be locked away. I'll be respectful but I expect the parent to be just as respectful. I once had a kid with a problem figure out that the antenna will screw out of the fender. His dad was pissed when I yelled at the kid. I get that your kid can't control his impulses, but I'm not going to be a silent victim. Keep your kids in check.
I also understand that family restaurants will have kids in them. I'm not shocked when a kid goes running thru a McD's I expect that. But I'm not happy about it when I'm dropping $60 for dinner.
As for the nose blowing at a table, yeah, that's pretty damn gross. What gets me, is the guy who's mothers taught them to carry a handkerchief, but didn't learn any table manors! Again, I don't expect much when I'm at fast food, but I really don't want to hear it when I'm at a higher end place.
