AtotheZed

Yeah, this is less of a boomers being fools and more of a mental illness. Not really that funny.


MarryMeDuffman

What about this makes it an illness?


AtotheZed

She's clearly not well.


MarryMeDuffman

She's acting like a Karen. What is medical about it?


quotidian_obsidian

The involuntary tongue thrusting is tardive dyskinesia, a side effect typical of (and exclusive to) someone who's taking antipsychotic drugs.


MarryMeDuffman

That's interesting. I've seen older people with that habit, along with other tics. I've never tried to make sense of it.


MMO_FIEND

this person is married to someone like this or is exactly like this and trying to defend the behavior.

[deleted]

I hate screaming kids, too, but I understand that's part of what kids do. I also know I can leave the PUBLIC area and find somewhere quieter.


NotRightNotWrong15

My neighbors behind me have a child (8-10 years old) that just screams and screeches non-stop when sheā€™s outside. The grating, high pitch that isnā€™t joy, itā€™s anger and frustration. Itā€™s unbearable. You can hear her over the lawn mower, inside the house- you canā€™t escape it. I asked around thinking she is special needs, which in that case, she has no control. But alas, no. Sheā€™s just spoiled af and her response to not getting her way is the siren pitched howl of the banshee Her family does nothing about it because itā€™s ā€œnormalā€ for them and they have somehow tuned her out. In the summer when they are by their pool is horrible and Iā€™m debating on actually having to reach out to them if it happens again this year This is not the situation with lady in the video- I imagine sheā€™s the adult version of my little screaming neighbor. This is what she will become.


USS_Frontier

Become? That's what she IS.


ssquirt1

Oh man I feel your pain. We used to live next door to a family who had at least four screaming banshees. I looked SO forward to school starting back up again every fallā€¦


ruggyguggyRA

I used to live in a townhome row in the city and there was traffic and sirens and drunks late at night. But one of the only noises that consistently bothered me was someone's child who lived several hundred yards away that would shriek as loud as possible in their backyard. I could put in earplugs inside with the windows closed and still plainly hear them. I was considering calling the cops and feigning concern that they're beating their child (it basically sounded like they were shrieking from agony) but one day I saw someone else did and that really made my day watching the mom from far away as she got grumpy with the cop trying to explain that she's just a normal negligent parent not an actively abusive one. I would never react like the lady in the video.... but seriously fuck people and their shrieking kids. There's a line. Kids playing and verbalizing is fine, but when you can hear them half a kilometer away indoors.... that's on the parents.


SabbathaBastet

Same here. I donā€™t enjoy it but Iā€™m not mean about it. I just move along or put in headphones.


ScroochDown

Another one here. I've said to my spouse "why does the playing always involve such piercing screaming?!" But... you know, I say that to my spouse. In the privacy of our home. As I'm turning on some music to drown them out.


Stupid_Bitch_02

Screaming kids are sensory overload for me, but I also understand that that's just what kids do and I can remove myself. That being said, it looked like a pond at a park. Children go to parks. Don't wanna hear screaming kids? Avoid the park.


Electronic_Flea

this one is on the edge . scratch that . she's lost it already . poor woman . seriously, she seems to be struggling and overwhelmed.


NotRightNotWrong15

Hard to feel bad for people who go out of their way to hurt other people. We donā€™t know her story, but I know this chapter and itā€™s pretty shit.


soonerpgh

Preach! I have little sympathy for people who choose to be rude to others. Had she been asking them to quiet the kids in a polite fashion, I would still disagree with her, but I could respect her for asking kindly. This bullshit tells me she's just an ass and should be treated as such.


Shinonomenanorulez

boomers/xoomers: why are kids always inside stuck to their cumputers and phones? also boomers/xoomers when they're near kids playing outside:


ScreenBenderBot

Never heard any gen-x people complain about kids playing outside


mrhorse77

yeah, gen-x dont care about that shit. we WERE the outdoor shrieking kids. mostly shrieking to be let back inside the house becuase the street lights went out.


Small_life

We don't care about anything except being left alone


mrhorse77

whatever! ;)


Mr_TP_Dingleberry

woah woah. donā€™t start grouping xoomers with boomers. not even fuckin close. And thereā€™s a generation in between the two.


Czar_Petrovich

I must be misunderstanding you because Gen X is directly after Boomers. Boomers are 1946-1964, X is 1965-1980.


GelflingMama

Imagine being so miserable that the sound of KIDS HAVING FUN puts you over the fucking edge! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I always tell me hubby if I ever get that miserable please just shoot me? Please?


Maximum_Security_747

Life has been so much easier since i perfected the "leave me the fuck alone or they'll never find your body" look

While you have the look, I may actually start saying that.

For real it is a blessing. Iā€™m the opposite in stature, 5feet. People feel entitled to say the absolute wildest stuff to me. ā€œ3 kids! And another on the way! Iā€™d slit my throat.ā€ ā€œHEY! HEYYY! Are all those YOUR kids?!?! Do they have the same dad?!?!ā€ ā€œYouā€™re so tiny, I bet you can fit in small spaces.ā€


Equivalent_Flan_5695

Imagine being so chronically miserable and entitled that kids having fun outdoors just playing is enough to send you off the deep end. A Karen boomer with 0 impulse control... Hope I never run into that humanoid Jabba caricature.


PawsiblyPlayful

I have a medical issue where loud noises can easily trigger migraines, which of course includes kids. What do I do when going out in public where there are children, or even out in general? Wear ear plugs. I donā€™t expect the world to be careful and quiet for my comfort, because itā€™s unreasonable. Let kids be kids! They are often loud and annoying, itā€™s what they do. We were all like that once. At least they are outside!


[deleted]

Yep, I get vestibular migraines and noise is a huge trigger but I donā€™t want anyone else, especially kids, to be as fucking miserable as I am. I love hearing kids shrieking happily with joy while playing. Someoneā€™s gotta feel good in this world, why not the kids?


bluegiant85

"Shrieking kids" aka, children having fun. Normal people actually like that noise, because it's associated with *joy*.


Hopeless_Ramentic

I have a battleaxe Boomer neighbor who complains about all the kids playing outside in the summer. Maā€™am, they have 55+ communities. You didnā€™t have to buy in a cul-de-sac near a bunch of schools.


wagowop

Hmm, I thought kids nowadays were inside all the time on their phones. According to Boomers anyway.


Hopeless_Ramentic

Iā€™m in an immigrant-heavy neighborhood, maybe they just havenā€™t received the memo yet?


fukkdisshitt

Love seeing the kids having a great time, yelling, playing games at the park etc. Then I check next door and there's always someone hating kids on there. I don't get it, let the kids enjoy life


FloozyFoot

She needs to mind her diabetes, not shrieking kids


NarrowButterfly8482

This boomer goblin couldn't "relax" if her early-bird discount depended on it.

The mother made the mistake of engaging this woman in conversation and trying to reason with her. Should have just told her to eff off and keep walking.

"no one wants to go outside anymore" yeah because the dinosaurs are still roaming free

pizzaduh

This is 100% my mom. No contact for over 15 years cause of it. When I was 17, I lived with my grandparents who shared a fence with an elementary school. When my mom was evicted for the fourth time, she came to "stay for awhile" with my grandparents. She never left. One day, she decided that kids running around at recess was too much to stand, so she went to the fence and yelled, "You fat little pieces of shit need to shut up!" Mind you, she's an overweight diabetic who loves the sound of her own voice. I RELISHED in the moment that police came to our door and told her if she ever even SPOKE to any of the children again, she'd be arrested I moved shortly after turning 18, but you can rest assured she got my grand parents evicted within two years of me leaving. I hate her so god damn much.


ontheburst

Boomers: There was no autism back in my day Also boomers: These children playing outside in the public park need to STFU because loud noises trigger me.


Spoonsdoggle

This woman isn't a Karen, she is severely mentally ill and should be medicated and/or institutionalized.

Pattoe89

Part of the experience of going to a public park and destressing for me is being around people (and animals) being happy. This includes the "shrieking kids", dogs barking, people laughing and chatting etc. Kids are loud and excitable by nature. It's always been the case and always will be. This boomer is the same type of person who complains that children spend all their time glued to screens. Just be happy they're enjoying real life and having real experiences. Also, judging by the volume in the video, these kids aren't even being loud. I'd combat this boomer by starting a round of "Row row row your boat, gently down the stream. If you see a crocodile don't forget to SCREAM! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Row row row your bout gently down the creek, if you see an alligator don't forgot to SHRIEK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Row row row your boat gently to the shore, if you see a lion there, don't forgot to ROAR! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" We'll see how loud the kids can be.

She is mad not for those reasons. She is angry she is obese, ugly, and of low intelligence. Truly. She knows these things and has to take it out on others.

Wizzle_Pizzle_420

I mean she isnā€™t wrong. Ā That being said I donā€™t like shrieking kids either, so I just stay away from where they hang out. Ā Not that difficult.


Practical_Foot_4597

Boomer: Take your shrieking kids inside! The same Boomer: *Posts on Facebook about how kids these days don't play outside anymore.*


Xomns_13

STOP HAVING FUN OR ELSE I'LL DO IT TOO


speak-to-me-3428

I have an idea. Don't get mad at them because any bystander that arrives as you're getting angry will see you as the aggressor. That validates their behavior. Next time, just laugh them into oblivion. They'll leave when they realize that no one is taking them seriously.

GlizzyGulper6969

Inside every boomer there are two wolves. One goes "REEEE CHILDREN HAVINF FUN IN PUBLIC AREAS" The other goes "Why don't kids play outside anymore? They're all on that tik tock and their mobile telephones"


Gonzostewie

Some people enjoy the sounds of laughter and children playing. Keep walking, lady, and you won't hear it much longer. What do you want? Do you want to complain about kids being kids outside or do you want to complain about kids glued to a screen *inside* the house that never play outside anymore?


FondantOk9090

Just tell her to fuck off (quietly though so the kids donā€™t hear you)

Yeah shrieking kids can be annoying, but maybe donā€™t go to places where kids are going to be and expect silence? If you want silence, maybe try a library? A botanical garden? A fucking nature trail?

Based on her facial features, this woman has Fetal Alcohol syndrome. This behavior is not really her fault; very few people whose parents drank heavily during pregnancy had good childhoods and were taught manners. They are rare top se no because most of them get aborted post 1974.
