How many times have you guys went to the mall or a grocery market and see children running around bumping into things? For the most part I have been fortunate enough to avoid these animals; that is until yesterday.

I was at the mall with some friends yesterday doing some late Christmas shopping. As we left a scented candle store a rouge bastard of a child ran at full speed into my right leg *BAM* Impact. The little shit fell down and started crying. I looked down to see if the child was okay, to my surprise he left a big stain on my leg which at the time looked to be cranberry juice

Moments later his Woolly Mammoth of a mother rolled thru and stared at me like I was a Native American who just scalped her husband. After a brief moment of eye contact I drew her attention to my pants which is now stained with juice from her child. She glimpsed at my pants and told me, (In a VERY rude voice) "You should watch where you are going." I thought to myself, (Damn this woman is really stupid) I replied, (respectfully) "excuse me? Your child ran into me mam, just as I exited this store - I have several of friends here who can testify on my behalf." "There is nothing I could have done to prevent your child from colliding with my leg." At this time her husband came into the scene. He also looked at me like I was some punk kid who made his son cry. He said, "Why did you trip my son, huh?" at this point I was a little aggravated, dealing with ignorant parents have never been my strong point. I replied, "Sir, maybe you somehow totally ignored all of my comments to your wife, but I will be brief - I was not at fault in this, your son collided with my leg just as I was walking out of the store and stained my pants." He then replied, "Maybe he wouldn

Sorry to hear- I know what you mean. I have seen kids running around and bumping into all sorts of things (and knocking things over). If the parents didn't see him run into you, then they are at fault and should not have any defense to their child's actions because they should be watching every single move he makes. Small children need to be supervised 24/7.

I just hate it when parents jump to defend their kids, regardless who is at fault. That is what pissed me off.

One problem with your story. "No sir, you are... because if there was no witnesses you would never see your son attend college."
My problem is that you actually believe that this kid will go to college

Also, moving to OT because this is not a street encounter.
