I also hate that most spoiled teenagers have $500 iPhones bought by mommie and daddy. They can still keep in touch with their parents with a free phone that comes with a contract but NOOOOO, they have to have what their friends have.
I hate being shopping or being anywhere public and seeing children misbehave and the parents: A) Do nothing B) Agree to purchase something if they stop having a tantrum. It's makes me wonder what these parents are thinking.

^^^I hate when people give dirty looks if you tell your child NO for a candy or toy(Omg as if that is the WORST thing ANY parent could do.... )or tell them to knock it off and stay where you can see them.

No kidding! My kids go shopping with me most of the time. MOST of the time, they behave. I don't get melt downs with them, but they do misbehave on occasion. I agree to buy things when they behave. And, if they misbehave, or if I just don't have the money for it at the time, I say to them "next time"... they know that they won't get the item they want, but they calm down right away.
My niece, on the other hand.... it seems I am the only one who can get her to actually BEHAVE somewhat in the store. I never use the "next time" ploy with her. She will remember! And she will ASK next time.
But she misbehaves nearly all the time in the store and pretty much everywhere. Her mother (my sister) is on her phone and the computer all day everyday when she is home with her daughter. So, I think it's safe to say she gets away with everything. What is her mother thinking? I have no clue. I've been trying to figure her out for 29 years, to no avail.
Speaking of shopping. Ever been in line, in a hurry, someone with $400 worth of sh!t in front of you and they wait till the cashier is done scanning everything, THEN they search for money, card, or start writing a check.
I think it's funny when my kids can walk beside me or their daddy and NOT stray... yet we have passed by parents with older kids still in the cart. If one of our kids STARTS to run off... we tell them to get their lil butts back over here... Did that with my son while passing some other parents.. and they dang near jumped outta their skin.. then looked appalled that I would DARE yell at my child to stay by my side... Sorry But I'm not going to chase his butt all over the store. He knows what mommy says... goes. lol

Reminds me of when people with 30 items are in front of you in line and all I have in my hand is gum... they look my way but don't offer to let me go before them. I'm not saying everytime, but c'mon. I'll take all of 5 seconds. I'll even slap a 5 down and tell the cashier to keep the change/give it to you... so I can be on my way. lol #mylittlerant
