why do mums go to costa coffee with screaming babies?

[Tortington]

there was no room for my supervision at the office today and boss took me to costas. it was filled with mums meeting for a coffee and a chat. and i noticed my boss was getting slightly annoyed becuase he was really getting redder and his lips went thinner - i thought "shit" what have i not done?

then he said...and i quote "why do women bring their fcking screaming brats out to cafe's?"
it as at this point my brain recognised the sound of screaming babies - i didn't even register it previously!! and i said " what would you like them to do stay inside all day every day with post natal depression or something?"
he just replied rather annoyed " i like quiet and i think they seek me out and come for me on purpose"

PMSL bless his tiny little mind!

What an arse!

So your boss has no 'screaming brats' of his own then?

or perhaps he avoided the baby bit totally.. and basically hasn't a sodding clue@@!!!

grrr! yes all children must be hidden away in the home until they have mastered toilet training, self feeding and socially acceptable behaviour...especially in london!

lol no......he has no kids, i think i was shocked at the level of uncomfort.

in fact he often says i put him off having children with is missus becuase of my awful kid stories! excellent. i saved the world there then!

Question is how can they afford the prices in Costa-lotta, My baby drinks far to much lattes maybe the decaf will stop him screaming so much .

Costa invidivual chocolate cheesecakes, yummity-yum [wanders off drooling emoticon]

For a second there I thought that was your opinion custy - well, I thought maybe you were pretending it was to liven things up.

I'm actually really annoyed with Costa - they have just opened 2 branches in my town, where previously the only coffee to be got was from a jar. Which would be a good thing, ifI wasn't bloody leaving in 3 weeks.

now which costa is this and what does your boss look like

oooh yes, a meet-up could be arranged!

Oh dear he's a paranoid little man isn't he? And he's in charge? God help your Company

because they have a right to be out and about. They seek him out - oh puhlease - the world does not revolve around HIM!!!!How far up one's own butt can one be!!

And how the hell does he expect them to learn how to behave if they never go into cafe's etc???

Tell me where your boss goes and I'll make a point of seeking him out.

Er... 'cos they want a coffee?

seems like it's a good thing he's keeping himself out of the gene-pool with an attitude like that

If it wasn't for women with screaming brats drinking coffee, cafe culture would never have taken off in the UK. We'd all still be going down the Wimpy.

I was asked by a work colleague why people didn't leave their kids at home when they went shopping - must remember to get that kennel set up

Ahh and this is why I purposefully sit next to those stuffed suit types when DS is in a screamer of a mood it really cheers me up!

I would like to point out that I do actually go to coffee bars with my kids solely in order to antagonise pin-striped men.

If the kids aren't screaming, I bash them so that they do. The coffee-shop trip just wouldn't hold the same enjoyment otherwise.

PMSL laughing at Marslady's "tiny little mind" indeed.

Caligula I thought it was just me!

I'm just getting a mental picture of you Custardo of trying to suppress your irritation. Keeping your counsel doesn't come naturally to you does it?

Bet you wanted to slap his silly little pug face
