Chuck E., Geez!
I took Chloe and Owen to Chuck E. Cheese this past weekend. As I was walking around the joint with them, I couldn't believe the amount of asshole parents that were there.
Assholy things I witnessed:
1) Sitting in a booth, this girl (8ish) sitting in the booth next to me, peeks over and coughs and hacks pizza remnants all over my coat. When I looked at her her mom, all I got was a laugh. Repremand your germ-infested kid to cover her mouth and to not hover over other people!
Repeat after me: Cough in your cuff. Sneeze in your sleeve.
2) After waiting patiently to put my daughter into the Bigfoot Monster Truck ride, 2 kids with their parents swoop in from the opposite (wrong) side and hop in. When I mentioned to the mom that we were waiting, she said, "i'm sorry. it will only be a couple of minutes." I just walked away in a huff. I didn't want to cause a huge scene.
3) A woman with her 6 year old son were at the Spongebob-Ticket-Dispensing-Machine-Thingy. She proceeded to continuously pop in token after token until her cup-o-tokens was empty. I swear, it must have been 15-20 tokens. Couldn't she see that people were waiting behind her?
Lady! This is not a slot machine in Vegas! There are assumed time limits. Your kid is not the only kid in the place! Step aside and let others spend their hard earned money pumping tokens into a machine that dispense tickets that are to be redeemed for crappy chinese-made goods!
4) Teenagers who hog the pop-a-shot game.
What happened to the days were teenagers would go out and drink, smoke, and egg houses?
"Hey Teenagers! Go out and join a gang! Do something other than hanging out at Chuck E. Cheese!"
5) Parents who are ultra competative at ski-ball, hanging out at one ski-ball lane all day with a pile of tickets at their feet. Someone really needs to tell them that the "prizes" you can buy are absolute junk.
