Well if the horse would have just stopped screeching we wouldn't have had to beat it so much!

I think it's dead.

But please feel free to join us for the naked limbo after-party. It will be held in the garden section of Wal-Mart.

(Okay, surely that will get this thread closed down.) It's been a fun 33 pages!

I won't be totally naked. I thought I'd borrow one of those blue Walmart vests for the occasion.

I wonder if we'll ever get a Wal-Mart here in NYC

Remember what happened last year at that Walmart in Valley Stream Long Island (Green Acres Mall) where those people got trambled to death and doors were torn off the hinges in the mad rush on Black Friday?

Well, there was that thread a few months ago where the DIS member's kids were playing with the folded towels and the Wal-Mart employee got mad at them and said something and DIS member threw the towels on the floor. So, the Wal-Mart employees do try...

Get out. Seriously?

I am not able to get on the DIS much - but that's a thread I'd love to read just for its for entertainment value.

Oh there will be screeching if I'm naked limboing for sure!!! Can we do it at one of those nice Wal Mart garden centers that they show on the commercials?

Since I'd never set foot in a Wallmart (it's beneath me to do so), I peeked in the door and didn't see any children screeching, but I DID hear adults screeching! So my apologies, because I said kids screech at Walmart as part of it's, uh, charm.

That picture is NOT a Wal Mart. Target guessing by the red shirts. Wal Mart always wears blue.

ETA : yup it's Target look at the bags in the lower right corner.

 

[Aisling]

No, no no! The Walmart workers had their shirts torn off their bodies by the screeching adults and had to make a Target run to cover their bare and bloody skin!!

 

[Plannin'Shannon]

Has a WalMart thread really become the latest clique thread??

 

[Scurvy]

No, no no! The Walmart workers had their shirts torn off their bodies by the screeching adults and had to make a Target run to cover their bare and bloody skin!!

They could've just skipped the shirts and joined in the limbo party. After a brief stop by the First Aid section to deal with the blood, of course.

 

[1PrincessMomma1]

Nah they'd just keep the torn shirt on because it really goes with their mullets you know?

 

[teacups]

Now THIS IS A funny thread!

 

[Aisling]

You're RIGHT!

It's a known fact that during word-association tests, psychologists say "mullet", and the patient says "Wallmart"!

I think I was also making an example of the prevailing selfish attitudes running rampant in the United States today, which is:

MY (fill in the blank) is more important than YOUR (fill in the blank).

This thread is a perfect example. It's a perfect example of parents feeling that their children (their blank) are more important than anyone else's (fill in the blank). I think that's probably why this thread has gotten as long as it has. People are getting sick of being told that their (blank) isn't as important as someone else's (blank).

So, you mean, as in, "MY child's right to continuously screech to entertain herself is more important than YOUR ears/nerves/sense of well-being"?

There are a lot of posts here that are really judgemental. Sometimes kids act up and sometimes you cannot leave the store or shop alone. It is easy to say the parent needs to control the child, but honestly, I am sure that we all have had at least one experience where all our parenting tricks don't work. If someone in the store is annoying you, whether child or adult, go to another aisle. Life these days is stressful...we all need to try and give each other a break when possible.

But nowhere does the OP even intimate that she made ANY attempt to prevent her child from annoying other shoppers (and trust me, if one person complained, there were ten others silently applauding her for speaking up).

 

[kaytieeldr]

IMO yes it is horrible to walk up to a 2 year old toddler and call them a brat because they are doing typical 2 year old things.

Ah, I missed the part where the other shopper did this. Everything I've read from the OP indicates that woman walked up to HER and, eventually, told HER her kid was a brat. I don't see anywhere in any of the OP's posts that even imply the other shopper had any direct contact with the child.
