So I live in Washington state right now and yesterday it was pretty cold. I was inside of Target and I was close to the entrance in their food area. There was a lady there with a close to newborn baby. He was wearing short sleeves and no socks, nor did he have a blanket. I could feel the cold air from the entrance so I was feeling kind of bad for him... anyway, I went outside to get my baby carrier and the lady with the baby (who had a sweater on and sweat pants) was pushing the cart outside with the baby in it... the baby was not covered or anything and was in the same clothing.
GRRR! I was pissed! Sorry but how can you think to wear a sweater but not have anything to warm up your baby when they are usually colder than you are...
anyway, enough of my venting...what about you? What pisses you off?
Pretty much the same as you..Newborns or close too wihout their heads covered in the cold..
Seeing children out in public with nasty, crusty green crap around their noses. I understand children with allergies. ALL of my children and my DH have allergies and therefore often get sinus infections. So I understand green boogers.....but for heaven's sake......wipe your child's nose!

THIS pisses me off!!! My BIGGEST pet peeve!! I lived in Alaska most of my life and saw more than my fair share of mothers being STUPID when it comes to covering their babies up. GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD, that pisses me off!!!
Well, that situation you just described happened to me once. My son had really bad reflux when he was a baby. I always had a change of clothes in my diaper bag, but forgot to switch the outfit when it got colder. My son vomited all over everything. I changed him, had to put him in his summer outfit and yes, i was dressed appropriately for the winter and just had to suck it up and walk outside with my little one. I held him close and tried to keep him warm, but these things happen. Granted, her being at target, i would have tried to buy an outfit, but then again, maybe she didn't have the money.
crying babies/toddlers at the movies at night. I get sitter when I go out (rarely) and never take DD to see a teen/adult movie... period. So it irks me when I leave DD at home... and have to listen to someone else's in the theater.
People with toddlers who run all around, get into stuff they shouldn't (my stuff, someone else's) in a public place... but the parents are oblivious... until you say something to the kid... then it's all "why are you talking to my child??" Ag.
I know there's more... but I can't remember now...

The poor, little dirty kids you see whose parents are screaming at them. YOu know these kids are not taken care of & are trying so hard for their parents approval. It doesn't piss me off as much as it makes me sad for them.
that's what pisses me off to see as well. I can't stand to see that. There's just no excuse like "My kid doesn't keep it on" or whatever it's just cover the child up when you get off the vehicle and take off the jacket/sweater when you're in the store. Simple as that.
