Is this how you guys teach your kids?

[BlackTigers]

Last night, I was walking into Wal-Mart. As I was crossing the parking lot, a family three walked up next to me. Mom, dad, and a little girl....maybe 8 or 9.

I looked, saw a fscking Suburban barreling down the main "isle" of the lot. The one right in front of the store.

I naturally stopped for the.....car.

I noticed the mom walking out...in front of the car, which was not stopping. The little girl said "Mom, we have to stop for the cars and look both ways." She said this, as mombitch pulled her into the middle of the lot.


Her mom replied, "No you don't, because they're in a nice new car that has brakes, they can stop for us."

I wanted to go punch the mom in the face and high-five the little girl for not contracting the ra-tard gene from her mother. Why would you say something like that to your child? haha

Ok reread what you wrote. You were at Walmart. That says it all.

<xterm> The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

 

[ahenkel]

I suppose the mom was trying to kill herself yet find a way to provide for her family

 

[Zebo]

Some people need a killin'

I wish rule of law would break down sometimes.

woah woah woah, hey there! Safety labels are for people who AREN'T STUPID.. What we need are MORE Safety labels and LESS laws/rules.. Since stupid people can't/don't read, having the labels will sort the problems out themselves..

Incorrect.

The mom was willing to put both of their lives at stake to spite someone wealthier than her. Jealousy and envy are such pathetic traits to posses.

This.

I am not saying that I endorse this in any way, BUT technically, pedestrians do have the right-of-way in most cases, so the mom is correct . . ..

 

[fleabag]

Incorrect.

how about "don't follow directions"... like that better?

if this was the main lane of the parking lot right in front of the store, weren't they walking in the yellow striped pedestrian area? If so, then the car should be the one stopping and should not be "barrelling" down the lane.

logically yes, but that does not do you a lot of good when you're embedded in the grill.

me i would rather be intact and not dead rather than right.

the mother should be lit on fire.

I don't think anyone's arguing about who had the right of way.

But wtf kind of idiot tells their kid to walk in front of a car that isn't stopping, just because it's supposed to stop.

The kind that would make Darwin proud. Her father must be rich and the lady must have been hot years ago.

 

[amdhunter]

Well, nice new cars usually do have good brakes.

 

[DesiPower]

well, you must have missed the full conversation... that later part was about the welfare benefits from being disabled.

 

[TecHNooB]

Shoulda yelled, "LITTLE GIRL, YOU'RE RIGHT. YO MOMMA CRAAAAAAAAAAZY." And hit the gas.

 

[BoomerD]

Well duh...nice new car = good insurance.

"Hit me bitch. I need the money!!"

 

[GlacierFreeze]

They can be "correct" all they want, but when said driver is not paying attention, being correct isn't going to do them a lot of good when a wheel rolls over their head and pops their brain out like a busted pimple. Sure pedestrians have the "right of way," but what the fuck happened to "look both ways before you cross?" I'll stick to the last one.

I'd rather be safe than sorry ("correct") in situations such as these. It's always a good idea to depend on yourself and never be in a position to where you're always depending on others. If you're always depending on others, you're going to be let down many times and run the fuck over in this case.

this...

but I dont expect too much when going to wal-nuts... Here in maryland some people I know call dressing down, "dressing wal-mart"

Those ballers were showing off by driving around that suburban with functioning brakes anyway.

 

[CKent]

Why would you subject yourself to wal-mart? Do you just hate yourself or something?

The fact that you had the right-of-way isn't going to be of much consolation if you're crippled for the rest of your life from an auto accident. Not looking before crossing a road is just moronic, even if it's a crosswalk.

Right and wrong are only good if you are alive.
I guess everyone that dogs on people that shop at Walmart only shop at Nemien Marcus and Saks.
