Blatent disregard for rules and kicking adults

Today seemed to be the day that all rules and politeness went out the window at the zoo.  


I saw 2 women smoking at a table in the zoo with 2 toddlers....1st off you shouldn't smoke around children...because you are basically killing them or causing them to have a smoking addiction at a very early age.  And secondly the zoo is NON-SMOKING!  Yes I know you aren't in an enclosed building, but surprisingly smoke travels...SHOCKER!  Well anyway I said "I'm sorry but the zoo is actually non-smoking"  They replied "the whole zoo?"  I said "yes the whole zoo sorry" They replied "the whole zoo?" 


OK I know I wasn't speaking another language, but I wanted to say no just the parts you will be going to today....seriously?


Giraffe Feeding today was atrocious as far as behavior of people goes.  1st we had the normal people who don't listen when we say the giraffe hate to be touched trying to touch their face....and the ones we have to ask to step away from the railing and/or the giraffe...and those trying to break the cracker in half. But I have never been so annoyed by a parent in my life....this woman was asking me a lot of questions, which I am used to and is fine, but then she had kids going through the feeding line and yelled across the deck at them "BREAK YOUR CRACKER IN HALF TO SHARE WITH YOUR BROTHER!!!!"  To which we replied "im sorry ma'am but the cracker has to be stay in 1 piece.  Well she had 4 kids and kinda mumbled about paying 4 dollars for them.....whatever right? no big deal...Her kids got up to the feeding line and I could hear her complaining about not being able to take good pictures since one of the other interns was in the way so I got him to move before the kids fed.  Well she sends them back through the line for some reason and then barges through the feeding area complaining loudly about how we were in her way for pictures and she needed to be in the corral.  She waited at the front of the line until her kids came to the front of the line and then paid the money.  While one of my supervisors was getting change the 8 year old kid tried to run in the feeding area and she said "hold on buddy we have to calm down to feed the giraffes" to which the kid proceeded to pout and KICKED my supervisor.....and the best part?  The mother stood there and said nothing to her kid!  I would have smacked that kid across the face and then said that none of them could feed the giraffe.  Or chewed out the mother for being a complete jerk about it.  If your kid kicks someone you need to smack your kid upside the head or kick them yourself.


Really people amaze me with such oblivious ignorance sometimes.....if you dont reprimand your children they will grow up being complete brats and ruin society....I mean punishment builds character


Ok enough ranting....cute bear pic!
