Noisy children in pub

[retirementrocks]

AIBU to think that it is not ok for parents to allow their children to run around a pub and in and out of the toilets making one hell of a racket whilst they sit and chat to their friends? Just visited our local...expect it to be busy as it is Sunday and it is a popular pub for a family lunch, but we left after one drink because the noise was just too much. It took one of the bar staff to politely twice ask the parents to ask their children to be a bit quieter and not to run around but to no avail. It's a pub not a frigging playground!

The thing is, it's not just kids. Some adults have little respect in these situations too.
There's a restaurant by us in the middle of an estuary. Pricey to eat at and relatively small - you need to book it months in advance. We went for an anniversary meal last year. There was a family with children and a baby, behaving beautifully. Just as we were paying our bill, a group of men starting laughing and being SO loud that you would have thought they were in their local pub trying to shout to each other over noise.

I think some people are just generally disrespectful.

In your head...In your head...In your head...

YANBU OP.

There’s nothing worse, when you’re trying to get shitfaced.
