When a boy wouldn’t stop yelling and screaming in the line of a Burger King, a customer turned to his mother and asked if she could calm her child. Instead, she yelled at the man. Then, as she got to the counter, she was quickly hit with an unpleasant surprise.

A Burger King customer, who was simply craving a Whopper, was in line at the fast food restaurant after he “hadn’t had the greatest of days” and could feel “a headache coming on.” Sadly, the situation was only made worse by an obnoxious child in line behind him. Waiting patiently in the “very long long,” the man’s attention was soon drawn to the “woman yapping on her cell phone with a little monster of a child.” His patience quickly began to wear thin.
According to the unnamed customer, the kid was completely out of control. He was screaming, punching his mother, and throwing around a handheld video game whenever something didn’t go his way. Making matters worse, the child’s mom didn’t seem to pay any attention to her disruptive child, who began to continuously yell, “I want a f***ing pie!”
After standing in line and enduring the rude mom and her obnoxious kid for about 5 minutes, the man was at his wits’ end, according to Metro. “I had gone from a headache to a full on migraine, but nothing was going to stop me from getting those burgers,” he recalled in a Reddit post about the incident, titled “Am I a bad person for this?”
Not able to take much more, he calmly turned to the mother and asked her nicely to please calm or quiet her child. “Immediately she gets up in my face telling me I can’t tell her nothing about raising her child and to mind my own business. I nod and turn around, she’s still yelling at the back of my head when the child cries out again how he wants a pie, the mother consoles him, calling him sweety and ensuring they’ll get pies for lunch because she loves him so much,” the annoyed Burger King customer wrote.
Although there is no way to confirm the validity of his story, it still serves a great purpose. It’s a reminder to rude parents who refuse to control their poorly behaved children in public. You never know when you might find yourself at someone else’s mercy, so it’s better to be nice and discipline your kids. Yes, you might be having a bad day and parenting can be hard, but you don’t know what the people around you are going through and they shouldn’t have to be subjected to your child’s bad behavior.
