Christine the Curmudgeon

…but Christine the Curmudgeon will post it anyway.

The last time I checked, I’m in the United States.  Yet, today, I saw two women draped in veils and other clothing from head to toe, all I could see was their faces and hands.  It was very hot out, as well.  One of the women was pushing a baby stroller.  Neither had to worry about needing something like curvatrim, as they were more covered up than I’d be in the dead of winter.

But there was a guy with them. Walking in front of them, but clearly with them. He got to wear shorts, and a short-sleeved sleeved shirt. What is wrong with this picture?

…people would not be bringing infants and ill-behaved toddlers into the ballpark. Christine the Curmudgeon would boot their asses OUT!

We went to a New Hampshire Fisher Cats game today.  We could not get the seats we wanted, so we settled for seats in front of those we wanted.  In *our seats*, the ones we wanted but didn’t get, were a pair of entitlement asshole parents, with a baby and a toddler in their laps.  The seats that we were ticketed for were in front of theirs, and they thought it was A-OK to use OUR seats for storage of their luggage.  Yeah, effin’ LUGGAGE!  Srsly, who in the blue hell has to haul that much shit to a ball game?  I either bring a purse or maybe a small tote bag.  These people had more damned luggage with them than we brought up to ManchVegas for the whole effin’ weekend!

So I made them move their crap.  The mother was seated right behind me, and was holding a toddler on her lap, who almost immediately started kicking the back of my seat..  Oh joy.  Then she started pissing and moaning because she could not see the game, oh, *these seats SUCK, I can’t SEE, because of this TALL person in front of me!*  That tall person would be me.  And I felt some satisfaction knowing that the bitch who let her kid kick the back of my seat cannot see the game.

I think she won anyway.  We left for the Sam Adams Bar & Grill at the ballpark, because the brat started crying, screaming bloody murder, and the idiot parents did NOTHING to shut the kid up.  Sheesh, if I wanted to own a ballpark that dealt with that shit, the best franchise to own would be the Lowell Spinners…where ill-behaved kids rule, and those who want to watch a game can go to hell.  And they don’t even have a Sam Adams Bar & Grill to escape to!

Next year, we are getting season tickets for *our seats* so we can have them for all the games we want.

…than go out for breakfast on a weekend.

Why do too many parents with little kids have to take them out for breakfast on weekends? Christine the Curmudgeon is talking about really little kids here, kids so young that acne is years away. Kids that are too small to know how to properly behave in public.

I hate going out for breakfast because of this.  If I was out drinking the night before, the last thing I want to hear is the ear-piercing screams of some ill-behaved brat.  Neither does anyone else.

Also, why aren’t these people in CHURCH?  As I saw on Facebook:

My waitress friend reminds me that for a so-called Christian nation, no one seems to be at church on Sunday mornings — they are all at restaurants Sunday morning!

So…why aren’t they? I bet that those with the most annoying kids would be the ones who’d damn me to the inner circles of hell for not wanting kids, or liking their holy terrors. Yet they would rather go out for breakfast or brunch than go to church. I hate people who use their religion only when it is suitable for their needs, but never practice what they preach.

Christine the Curmudgeon is getting sick of these entitlement assholes who show up at the ballpark, and think it’s okay to sit anywhere they feel like.

Srsly.  Today we went to our seats, seats we had actual tickets for, and some jackass was sitting in MY seat.  I made him move, and he did…he KNEW he did not belong in that seat.  But I overheard him complaining to his friends about being made to move, and about the snarky comments I made to Mr. C about it.

None of these jerks were ticketed for the section we were in, and they all ended up having to move.  In any case, if they are going to make a practice of stealing other people’s seats, they’d best compare life insurance rates, as they may need it! This guy is lucky I didn’t beat him to death with a mini-bat and a foam finger!

Srsly.  Christine the Curmudgeon just saw this on the local news:  Absent Student Banned From Framingham Prom

The rules are the rules.  I don’t care how much money she spent on the ticket, the dress, shoes, makeup, acne treatment, etc. If you are too sick to go to school that day, you are too sick to go to prom.

I don’t even know why this sort of thing even makes the news.  The news people should be embarrassed to even have to report this sort of crap.
