I Hate Stupid People

So last night we decided to take the kids to Leo's to celebrate Daddy finishing up his interview process out at work. We pull up in the parking lot and I happen to look down and see that it is 17 degrees outside. As I opened the door to the van, I felt my nose hairs freeze together (don't you hate that). Then my eyes wonder to the car next to me and what do I find? Inside the car (mind you the car was not running therefore, no heater was on) was an infant seat, including infant, and a two-year old little girl. That's all!! No mom, dad, vicious dog, nothing. I was pissed!!! I might be a little over-sensitive to the treatment of children considering that we had a heck of a time getting pregnant to begin with and then had to let two babies go back home, but I think this would have upset me anyway. So we stand by the car for at least 5 minutes to see who would come out so I could give them a piece of my mind, and no one shows up. Finally I go inside and tell the owner what's going on, hoping he will call the police. Well, he apparently falls into that "stupid people" catergory himself. If I'd have had my cell phone, I would have just called the police myself. Anyway, he decides he needs to verify my story, so he goes outside to get the licence plate number (which I'd already given him). This ticked me off even more, so I went out to the parking lot and asked some random guy for his cell phone. I was on the phone with the police when the restaurant owner called the plate number over the PA system and the "Mother" came out to the car. Daddy gave her a few words (calmly) as she got in and drove away. I'm glad he was there because I had a few other words for her that probably wouldn't have gone over so well. Anyway, the police said they couldn't do anything about it unless they saw it themselves, so nothing happened to her. So I guess this post is a way to vent my frustrations. But don't you hate stupid people too?

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH! What did she have to say for herself to Jack?

I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS!!!!! This is SICK. And the fact that they can't do anything, even tho they have her license plate number? Who's to say she won't do it again? They could possibly stop her from doing so if they would look into it at least!!! UGH, I hate stupid people too. Good work tho. You did the right thing. xoxo

Suz good thing you were persistent. More people need to stick with that situation because too many people think it is none of their business. When it comes to that I believe it is all our business. Don't you wish you could've taken her by the ear and drug her out to her car and then just beat the crap out of her?
