Children crying is the worst sound in the world.

I'm at a Starbuck surfing the net and this little boy got Hot Coffee spilled on him.

Man that kid had some lungs - I felt so bad hearing him... Screamed "I want Mommy!" for 15 minutes before they finally took him out of the store

:(

That's the problem with Pedophiles...there's never one around when you need one to whisk the little fuckers away. IMHO kids should be banned from a lot of places.....if parents want kids...fine, but don't fucking inflict them on everyone else.

Ain't that the truth.

Was on the bus the other day, and a mother and her kid was there, at first I was like "awwwwwwwww :)" when I saw the mummy play with her kid making cute sounds, then he cried hardcore all the way through the bus ride and I wished he would JUST BE QUIET.

There's different versions of crying. The annoying ones are those whiney kids that are spoiled and want everything. But have you heard of a kid crying because his mother died? Huh?

No

A) You can shut the Alarm Clock OFF

B) An Alarm Clock is set to go off at a set and known time

C) Children Screams are unpredictable



Purley on sound and not location, they are worse. :p


Of course, now I have to get someone on video with about 10 alarm clocks strapped onto them riding the subway/going to starbucks all day....

we take our 2 year old just about everywhere (not the movies yet). We want to get him accustomed to behaving in public so it's not so hard later on. Teach em young!

We're planning on one of those free early kids shows at the theatre to test him out in there so if it get's bad, nothing lost, we can just up and leave without having wasted $20

I fucking hate kids. They should all have muzzles up unto their 16.


I bet you reckon by that point all the girls should then be muzzled by cocks. :p

Anyway naz, if you can't take the sound, maybe it's your paternal instinct coming out? :)

its not that I can't take it - my heart breaks to hear it.
it is a cruel sound to hear
 
It's not so bad when it's yer own kid, although when you hafta write a fuckload of XSDs over the weekend the fussing sure gets difficult to handle.

I like when you're on an airplane, and Satan's child behind you wails for hours.

And the parents: "He'll sleep like the dead tonight!"

Crying children can be annoying and heartrending all at once, but temper tantrum throwin' kiddies are the absolute worst.

There's a toy store at the mall I work in. About once a month or so a youngster will let 'er rip because the parental units have denied/dragged them out of the store. I'm talking thermonuclear force here, sheer lung power. You can hear it two floors away. For Ultra Cacophony Effect, pick a child who won't let go of their parentally-denied toy, and therefore have set the burglary alarm off as well.....

It's only the worst sound in the world when it's this child...

Kids cry ... for no reason most of the time (babies especially).

Deal with it.

Actually, babies usually only cry for a reason.

It's suggested that people are especially attuned to babies' crying to make sure that parents tend to their kids rather than just trying to sleep through the midnight feeding. It's certainly not a sound that you can sleep through.

Well, I'm not trying to advocate ignoring the kids if they're yours.

If a kid starts crying though, there's only so much you can do and a lot of the time, I've found it's best to just let them run their course. By "no reason" I meant like, they have a headache, they're tired, they're teething, etc. Thing you can't really fix, but only comfort them over.
