    Default OK is this guy a jerk or am I wrong?

    This guy I am acquainted with tells me this story...here it is...

    He's at a store with his young daughter in a shopping cart. A grandmotherly type lady grabs his cart, gets close to his daughter, and says "Is this your daughter? She's beautiful."

    Guy pauses, and in a sarcastic voice says "Take your hands off my cart. No, I found her in automotive. I just thought I'd get myself a kid today. Come on, let's go get you a brother and a hot MILF."

    And then his daughter says "My daddy said to take your hands off"

    This guy was proud of this story. He said he doesn't like strangers asking dumb questions and grabbing his cart.

    I didn't say anything, but I was thinking he was a total douchebag.

    I'm right...right?

    What a dickhead. He should've just thanked the nice lady for the compliment.

    Now there is a guy who has trouble taking a compliment.

    I'm sad for his little girl. She's being taught to be obnoxious in the face of a compliment, just like her daddy.

    If I heard my husband talking to someone like that in front of our kids...I would wollop him upside the head.

    How hard would it have been to say, "Thank you."?? I teach our daughter that while it's impolite for another person to violate her personal space (which it seems this older lady did), it's just as rude and impolite to not say thank you to a compliment.

    You can tell your friend he's a twatwaffle. And congrats for teaching his daughter to disrespect her elders. Lovely. I assume that he talks to his daughter that way and she to her own father.

    Nice.

    Dumbass.

    ...Hyde, i'm curious why you think you might be wrong. Is there more to the story like maybe she was pedophile with festering sores?

    Well, I didn't totally say nothing...I said something like "Did she do something that pissed you off?" and his response was "She shouldn't be grabbing my cart and putting her face in my kids face. And besides, it was a dumb question." He was defending himself, as if he was right for doing this.

    So I just let it go.

    He's not a friend, just someone I know.

    Okay a lot of older people come from a time when you were allowed to shake someone's hand without being defined as a creep or a stalker, so where as grabbing his cart broke his sterile personal space, it was probably just a friendly gesture to her. And as for putting her face in his kids face, bad eyesight?

    He didn't have to be an asshole about it, and neither did his daughter. If my son EVER spoke to anyone like that, we'd be making a trip to the car.

    IMO, your acquaintance was in total testosterone overload, Mr. Hyde!

    What if somebody went Chris Benoit on his grandmother in the supermarket?

    When C. (my youngest son) was a toddler, people often made such remarks. After I laughingly corrected them regarding C.'s actual gender, I would smile and say, "Thanks, though, you're right. He is beautiful." Moments like that would make my day...

    I don't think I'd be very nice to a stranger taking control of my cart with my child. I don't think I would have phrased my response the same way, but I might say something like "I'm sorry, do I know you?"

    Grandma might be nuts. That is NOT a good influence on small children.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I also think that guy was being a jerk. What is worse is he was modeling rude behavior to his daughter. Bad parenting in you ask me!

    Poor old lady, I hate it when the elderly are mistreated. Gets my goat something awful. I always go out of my way to be kind and helpful to old people.

    I think it was rude of the old lady to put her hands on the basket, and depending on if she was real close to the child, as in face to face, it was even ruder and an invasion of the child's personal space.

    If the woman would've walked by, without touching the cart and being in the child's face, and said, "Is this your daughter? She's beautiful," then it wouldn't have been such a big deal. Even then, people shouldn't make unsolicted comments to strangers.

    Just because it's an old lady doesn't give her the right to invade someone's space. If an old man did that, you might think he could be a perv, but an old lady gets a pass. If an old man did that I'd push him away and tell him to fuck off. You don't come around a child and stick your nose in where it doesn't belong.

    The small child feels empowered to tell adults to leave her alone. If a stranger tries to take the child away, she can kick and scream to get away. Without being empowered, the child may meekly go along with what a stranger tells the child and might be a victim of a kidnapping. All because an adult told the child that she can't be rude to strangers.

    I think the lady was rude and she shouldn't invade other people's privacy like that. Dancers don't like it when customers invade their personal space, why should this be different?

    People are so rude nowadays getting into other people's business.

    I say: Three cheers for the guy teaching his daughter to tell strangers to fuck off! It may save her life one day. The child can be courteous in most situations, but in this case, the old lady was wrong.

    Seriously. I was just thinking my mother lives in the US now and she's 77, we go out and she adores young children. She wont touch or grab a cart, but will ask that question. If she EVER got a response like that from a parent i swear i would take off my heel and plant it right up his ASS! HA!

    The elderly grew up with differant rules. Maybe she put her hands on the cart to steady herself too. And got close because she cant see well. You never know.

    In any case...it wasnt justifiable to be such a dickwad to someone who is complimenting you. Just say thank you and move on. If she latches...gently tell her that you appreciate the compliment but you are in a rush and wish her a nice day.

    If after that she wont stop...then maybe some harsh words are in order.

    But teaching your daughter to be an ass to a little old lady who is complimenting her is a great way to raise a complete ass. Just like Daddy.

    If a person just askes a question about a child, which that was a harmless question no matter who asks, and the parent was right there. It's normal. We all ask strangers something at times. The lady simply was trying to say what a beautiful child. It's normal and kind. Children should not hear a parent talk that way to others. It only teaches that child to be rude, not avoid being kidnapped.
