Fats are literally the worst parents for all the reasons. Sometimes it's the little things, though, that really piss me off. Ugh, so mad this morning seeing a ham freaking out at her kid over something so stupid. I was coming up an escalator, and her probably 6-year-old son was grabbing the handrail on the escalator at the top and pretending he was pulling the escalator up. It was adorable and made me smile and he wasn't even in my way at all, just having fun. Ham mom is standing not even five feet away, and the top of the escalator is an enclosed space with doors anyway because it leads out into an open train platform. Ham looks up from her phone and says to the kid, "Get over here! Someone's gonna steal you," in a really bitchy tone. Firstly, that's really unlikely as you're in an enclosed space to begin with with nowhere to go at any speed, and second, I don't think that five feet would make any difference for anyone who could move faster than a slow waddle. She looked up from her phone to say this to the poor kid. Honest to god, it doesn't require any effort at all to just keep an eye on a kid that age who is old enough to know not to run off and wasn't doing anything disruptive at all, just playing quietly.  Pisses me off to see hambeasts give their kids shit over acting like normal, well-behaved kids just because they're trying to have a little bit of fun. It's always hams who go off on their poor kids for stupid reasons. I'm so sick of it. I smiled at the kid when he was doing it and he smiled at me, but fuck, I wish I'd said something to make it clear that normal people aren't that bad and it's his ham mom who's got a problem.
