uppityperson (59,892 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail Ignore Adults that wants kids hidden away while are spoiled themselves aggravate meMy goodness, I never cease to be amazed at how some adults think kids are the devil's answer to the planet and they are god's answer. This applies mostly (I'd say almost exclusively) to people who aren't parents. Today I had to spend some time with one of these adults because the adult felt that any child in public is so awful, no matter if they were playing quietly, running around hopped up on christmas excitement or even "sit(ing) and listen to adult conversations" while they were so wonderful. That adult was loud, boisterous, not particularly bright, and (as if all the rest were not enough), NOT fascinating in the least. What the adult felt was grown up behavior on her own part was merely a tremendous capacity for being obnoxious and unpleasant. However, this person was oohing and aahing about he r own (heck, who else was going to ooh and aah for this walking, talking obnoxia?), and trying to elicit our oohs and aahs, which were not forthcoming. I plastered what I refer to as, 'the look of the insane' smile on my face and pretended I was a robot. No oohs and aahs would come from me. Why do adults (GENERALLY (NON) MOMS) inflict this on other adults? These adults behave as if they wanted to be your friend, but then by golly, they're HELL-BENT on you loving their bratty, spoiled selves. I think these non-moms don't really want to have friends. They just want to have an AUDIENCE for themselves. Since I'm on a rant about adults that do this, here's a tiny list of these adults that aggravate me. Let me know if any of you out there agree with me on this: -Adults that interrupt conversations between them and another adult -Adults that allow roommates to run and answer the phone every time and waste your time talking trash, when the reason you called is to talk to the person you called, not entertain the roommate -Adults that won't allow their kids to quietly sit and listen to adult conversations -Adults that are in the office and bug the heck out of you -Adults that stop a whole huge line at the supermarket or anywhere at all because they want to talk to the employee taking orders or checking out -Adults that come to your house and let them make a frikkin’ mess everywhere and touch every single thing, even BREAK your things. -Adults that insist on performing for you, and are seeking for you to applaud like a trained seal no matter how horrific the performance was -Adults that go on for endless hours about their accomplishments -Adults that side with their partners against, well, just about everybody -Adults that behave like animals in stores and restaurants, talking on cell phones, drinking too much -Adults that behave as if they were God's answer to the world, and insist you acknowledge that WAKE UP, PEOPLE! STOP TRYING TO GET ME TO ADORE YOU! Okay, now that I got that out of my system, all I want to add is that I think treating anyone like some sort of perfect beings, or royalty, and putting them first 24/7 is the perfect recipe for creating narcissistic and perhaps sociopathic adults.

She's a bitch.Some of those things are just being sociable and polite. If I were exchanging small talk with a cashier and she said something about it, I'd glare at her and tell her to STFU.
It's actually a fisking of a Sarah Iraburri thread about hating spoiled kids. Uppity Person is normally a bitch, true, but she did a pretty funny parody with that one.
