Adults behaving badly.

Just a short kvetching if you don't mind.

Dear Assholes,

Yes, you know who you are.  If you don't, please allow me to elaborate.  At a children's/family event please note that it is bad form to push five year olds and intimidate children.  (That goes for you Slags too)  Yes, I realize the sniveling ankle-biters are mighty annoying, but acting their age is wholly inappropriate. 

Today I attended the Krewe of Gemini Mardi Gras parade in Shreveport, Louisiana.  It's a Family-oriented event.  While open drinking containers are permitted, flashing boobies for prezzies is not.  It creates an interesting environment where Girl Scout troops line up next to old chain smoking hussies in tight shirts as they both scramble for the same 1cent set of beads.  Note to adults:  Don't scream at the Girl Scouts.  EVER.  Don't cackle when you grab the beads out of their hands.  Don't pull and or tug on small tots to get closer to the parade floats.

It's unacceptable.  And it's a damn good thing I'm unarmed and unwilling to go to jail, because the buttstock of my M-16 can do some serious damage to caked on makeup.

And if you think I'm exaggerating, you should have seen the displays.

I need a margarita.

You know, I could really imagine the girls giving the old slags a quick kick to the shins, and they ought to have done so, but they were being on their best behavior. I was across the street watching this and other truly bad spectacles, but noticed to my great disappointment that no adult interceded on their behalf. I did however get to watch other mothers yell at each other for better positions in line for their little darlings. That was not much better. *shakes head* They're just cheap beads that get binned the next day. Ruining the event like that lasts longer.
