Did you know there is an entire secret menu at the Scottish Deli? Pretty fucking cool stuff, too. |

If I was waiting for a DR APPT and taking my time eating a burger and glanced over at some kids playing, having fun and some fucker came up to me and asked me why I was looking at his kid I would tell him to fuck off and if he didn't I might make him fuck off.
The paranoia on ARFCOM is getting pretty bad lately. BAN EYE BALLS FOR THE CHILDREN. ALL hi cap eyeballs must be banned! |

How would you think Fonzie would be treated in today's world?

If they are in the play room and have no kids... the OP is right. If they are in the regular restaurant seating area and happen to glance over and see a kid in the playroom... then no.

Are there any creepy young guys?
Maybe the old guy didn't plan for retirement, is living on a fixed income, and barely has enough money to eat? Old dude is probably wondering why the young guy OP is mean mugging him. Old guy is a Vietnam vet who has forgotten more about the OODA loop before anybody knew what the OODA loop was and is already three chess style moves ahead of the young punk OP should OP engage him. Old dude has already thought about scooping the OP's eyes out with a spork and then adding the OP's ears to his necklace. OP, don't be such a paranoid loon. |

If there was little kid laughter and not screching...and I was having a fucking horrible day I would have been that guy.
It might not have gone the way you would have thought. Christ try and stay angry or in asour mood when there is children laughing... can't fucking do it. Accusing some dude of shit like that is enough to go to far. |

It's thoughts like this are why men in modern America are automatically assumed to be pedophiles if they're anywhere near children by themselves. In some cases men have been accused of being pedophiles while carting their own children around in public while the wife isn't with them, or if there is no wife. I remember a guy posted on this board that he was confronted by people because he was alone with this children. Turns out his wife had passed away. You never know a person's situation. I personally would not have been bothered by the guy at McDonalds unless he tried touching or talking to my child. happened to me in a grocery store. wife unit was at work and i took my little girl who was 3 at the time with me. police showed up and contacted me. had to show i.d. and they ran my license plate on my truck. |

Being in the playplace without kids is super creepy. Being in the regular restaurant alone is kind of sad but not creepy.

All single, childless males should be required to wear a bag over thier head or at the very least be forced to face a wall at all times, just in case they are a paedophile who is covertly looking at children.
It's for the children. |

Might as well let your kids play in a septic tank.
At least you would know whose shit they are swimming in. McDonalds play areas have been tested. You don't want to know the results. |

When an older dude with no kids is hanging around kids. Your Spidey senses go up. You know what I've discovered about most guys who touch themselves to thoughts of doing horrible shit to children? They don't make people's spidey senses go up. You're busy watching some guy at McDonald's who isn't doing anything, but in reality it's your neighbor or your relative who is much more likely to hurt your kids. If you're curious about someone's intentions, certainly keep an eye on them. Perhaps even engage them in friendly conversation. Assuming that what you saw was a pedophile, however, is a bridge way too far. I strongly agree. Generally pedophiles are absolute masters at putting people at ease (parents, children, etc). Pedophiles are con-men, they are just after something other than money. I think it was just some lonely old guy who was getting himself a burger. Sitting there alone, what are you going to do? You are going to watch any action going on. If the McDs has playland, the kids get watched. A McDs without one, he'd probably watch every customer as they order and you'd probably think he was stealing credit card numbers. |

Did he have a mustache? A stand-alone mustache? Glasses? If so, he was definitely a pedophile. It's scientific fact.

That approach only works until it doesn't...and when it doesn't, you've bought yourself a great big bag of problem. If you're curious about someone's intentions when they've done nothing inappropriate, there are much lower key methods of finding out about their intentions that don't require acting like a dipstick. This. Some people that are sitting by themselves watchign kids play in a mcdonalds might just be thinking something like - I miss my son / daughter wish my kid who is now grown was still here wish I was still a kid Life sucks ah to be a kid again. Maybe he doesnt need some pushy idiot coming up to them making them fell unconfortable. You did that to me the response would probably be to fuck off and mind your own business. Some of us humans arent social and dont like to be challenged for doing nothing. Casual non threatening conversation on the other hand.... Absolutely this. I pick up my paper, I read the internet and go to my favorite sites and all I get are someone is trying to take my guns away, some idiots in Washington are threatening my retirement savings and all I have to live on. I'm a father of four and a grandfather of three (so far ) Can't I sit down and be left alone while I listen to kids laugh (and cry) and try to remember what's really important and restore dome sanity in my life? The sound of kids playing is music to my ears. Let them scream and shout outside my window all they want, life is good. Play your stupid music loud and that' a wholeother story. |
