As I sit here in my cold\flu weakened state trying to gain access to misery ending medicine I have come up with a great idea. A store only for DINKs. No more 'child safe' medicine bottles. Tide pods everywhere. We'll have a child free restaurant. A fire hydrant will be installed outside so we can easily turn the fire hose on any kids fundraising group that tries to setup shop near the entrance. Group buys for airline flights.

And, most importantly, a large lawn area with lots fo chairs we can sit in to make sure no children try and have fun on the perfectly manicured grass.

What if the kids are hired to pick the pea gravel out of the lawn (and drop it back on the parking areas, where it belongs)?

You could just move to a third world country and all that stuff would be the norm :)

If the thought of some little 5 year old taking half an hour to look at the screen and then look down at the paper to write out in crayon the exact screen address of the toy he wants for Christmas does not make you grin, then there is something wrong with you.

First give me a smokers airline then we can talk.
I remember smoking on a plane to Portugal. It had a smoking section in the rear which, as cracking a window on a plane is discouraged, made the whole plane stink like an ashtray. That got old really quickly.

What about us single income/people with no kids? Maybe we should get an even cooler store, full of arcade machines and all the awesome stuff your wife doesn't allow you to have... :p

Arcade bars are already a thing. Zero children and vintage machines.

How common are they? I really don't drink much or very often, so most bars wouldn't be my thing. I do however go to this one bar for great food and every so often I'll have a drink.

There's at least one in Omaha, Nebraska, so I imagine probably most real cities have one.

Have you ever smelled a basement filled with dead people? The stench is unbearable. And I prefer my hookers alive thank you very much.

But hookers wear strong perfume, so it's not bad at all. It sort of evens out.

Sounds like a plan, I vote we name the business "a bar" since, lots of bars don't allow kids.

Movie theaters and Airlines should adopt the policy too.

You just wait, newlywed, you just wait.

Yeah, I hate other people's kids. The upside, mine's 17 now and his friends (the same kids) I get to mess with.
