When people can't control their kids in quiet places, like medicare, the bank, places like that. I just like get this super awkward smile on my face and find myself compulsively staring at them like I'm in a trance - I just can't help it!

It happened yesterday in Medicare, this couple and their 5 hyper kids came in, and the kids kept pressing buttons and getting tickets that take precedence over the common ones (like regular claims) and the parents were just whinging at them to stop...I don't get why one of them just didn't take the kids outside to the empty courtyard to play, but apparently that didn't occur to them! If I was more like my mother I would've cracked at them but I just kept smiling awkwardly like a freak and staring at them because I felt a) sorry for them for being so clearly bogan, and b) feeling bad that if I did it would make me look like a ***** who didn't appreciate how hard having 5 kids would be!
