Funny? Messed up? Cruel, even? You decide.

[InGrindWeTrust]

I personally think that was a very funny and creative solution to the problem, but then again I do have an extremely twisted sense of humour. Nobody really got hurt (except for the guy that got bitten, which I'd argue actually makes him the victim here), but after the initial shock, I'm willing to bet that a) the kid never went around biting anyone again, b) the mother started to do her job a little better and actually gave a shit whather kid was getting up to and c) that shop was just a little safer. None of that would have happened if the guy who got bitten just accepted it and didn't say anything. Personally, if I ever find myself in a similar situation, I will almost certainly be doing the same thing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this brilliant idea with me. Bratty kids and uppity parents who let their bratty kids run wild only to side with them when they do something wrong are among the lowest people in society.

That was terrible! Who the fuck allows their children to bite other people?
But the HIV part was hilarious.

 

[RemuValtrez]

I find it to be hilarious, and I love that site. Parents need to pay more attention to their kids. Now, after saying that, I might have clarified that it was a joke, but I think it'd be a lesson for the mom to start watching her kid more and stop acting like actions like that are just fine to have happen.

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

Hilarious. There was no permanent harm done, and it taught them both something useful. Kind of mean, but certainly not cruel.

And you know exactly WHY this story is funny? Because guy who posted this story was NOT HIV positive and the only result of this particular life episode is that kid and his mom are going to be taught a lesson: Kids are not gods, they are half humans and will remain like this in adults mind unless he or she proves different (or you are a parent of this particular specimen).

No, actually. I know you types like to believe that the only possible way to not despise children is to have children but it is not so.

I know I'm basically shouting at a brick wall to collapse, but people who hate children are simply people who hate people in general, unless they "prove different". It is hardly an "adult" mindset.

Listen mate/girlfriend, you can't generalize people AT ALL. I like kids and what I said was directed towards only this kind of human post-fetuses.
You must never generalize. When white guy steals your stuff, you don't say: "those blasted whites, they all are bastards" right? Right! Then why do you think, that if I don't like spoiled litlle brats, then I hate normal, good-hearted, unspoiled intelligent angels? That is, kind of offensive, you know... I am crying in my napkin now. Poor litlle me..

P.S. Yep, I don't like most humans, but only most, not all of them.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

I felt sorry for the mum but I the kid learnt a valuable lesson. This will probably help him later in life. Also the kid sounds so annoying.

This story always cheers me up, I read one a long time ago, it wasn't the same situation, but had the same 'Hahahaha, oh wait, what?' factor.

Apparently this guy was queueing up for ages to see 300, all the while there's this fat ***** behind him being loud and obnoxious as many fat women generally are.

Anyway, they finally get into the cinema and she sits right in front of him, still yapping away, and when the certificate thing flashes up with 300 she stands up and starts wailing, 'what, this isn't what I fucking came to see!'

Legend then has it that the bloke, now at his wits end, stands up and screams 'THIS. IS. SPARTA!' and boots her full force in the chest, sending the fat sack of cum tumbling all the way down the stairs.

The story ends with our hero being escorted from the premises to rapturous applause, closing with 'I think I might be going jail, but it was totally worth it.'

By religious standards that is terrible.

But by average human standards that is jut genius. This man deserves our praise. If the Mom thinks it's OK for her little kid to run around biting hard enough to draw blood then she need something to get that brat in line.
Overall I ate out of control kids. Hell I'm not comfortable with the quiet ones.

By religious standards? Do you think that all religions have the same ethical codes, laws, or moral guidelines?

I was mainly thinking of Christianity I have to admit. I should have said "By morale standards"
Though when you get down to it most religions have the rule of "be kind to people" with the trick being described in the article being a bit unpleasant because it would cause the child to spend unnecessary time in the hospital and panic the mother who has done nothing wrong, except perhaps lost control of the child for moment.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

So fake sounding. The guy shouted 'shit shit' and his friend magically knows to start saying 'fuck maybe he didnt get it'

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

wow, that is genius...

might have to use that, but honestly that mother is fucking stupid if she's letting her kid run around BITING random people, that ass would be whooped so damn hard if it was my kid...

but still, serves em right, hopefully the kid got just as much of a shock from it as the mother did.

 

[Sammaul]

Actually, you might take a look, it's really not that bad a read.
I actually find it a funny one, with a lesson (hopefully) learned by one of the involved parties.

 

[manic_depressive13]

I call bullshit, but even if it's real, it's not that funny. I'm not bothered by it, but it wasn't as spectacularly clever as people are making it out to be. It was the obvious thing to do, really. I'm impressed his friend supposedly caught on though. My friend would never help me pull something like that.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

So fake sounding. The guy shouted 'shit shit' and his friend magically knows to start saying 'fuck maybe he didnt get it'

you would be surprised....me and my friends have played some damn good pranks with no planning before hand and just relying on bond/chemistry to know what the other was thinking/doing.


case and point.

 

[bluegate]

Funny, the mother and kid got what they deserved.

Well my criteria for judging a person as decent might include knowing better than to call children "half humans" and "post-fetuses" simply because they don't measure up to some unrealistic, imaginary standard of children as "normal, good-hearted, unspoiled intelligent angels".

It might, if I were some sort of extremely judgmental person.

 

[Saltyk]

On the one hand, the guy telling the story is a pretty poor excuse for a person. He scared the mother more than you would ever believe and enjoyed it. There were ways to accomplish the same goal without doing that.

On the other hand, the mother isn't much better. What kind of sad excuse for a mother allows her kid to run around BITING people? And then, when the kid breaks his skin and he starts saying "Shit" she starts to get mad at him? Seriously, my parents would have torn into me even without breaking some strangers skin.

So, I have no sympathy for anyone involved in that story. Hopefully the kid learns his lesson and straightens up. Hopefully the mom puts her brat on a tighter leash. And hopefully the wizard can give that guy a heart. It's kinda funny, but seriously messed up, too.

 

[natster43]

That was hilarious. Also that mother should watch her damn child. Seriously letting her kid run around and bite people, what the hell?

 

[SidingWithTheEnemy]

[..] One day I was tired of her throwing things on the ground and at me, so I taped what she was tossing to her hand. (It was a set of keys.) Since then she has not thrown anything.

Nice, can I see a photo please?

OT:
Excellent story by the way,
but where do kids bite random strangers at the supermarket? I definitely don't want to spend holidays there because I would just start to bite them back, which would get me into some serious (still hilarious) trouble...

 

[CoL0sS]

Hmmm I rarely witness crying kids in supermarket, and this is the first time I hear of them biting somebody. Where the fuck does this guy live that it's so common for little shits to bite people with no reaction from their parents?

OT: Yes it's very funny, except if you're called up to clean that guys blood from aisle 3
