I've been sick in bed for last 3-4 days so I didn't think I would have any candidates for this week's wall. Unfortunately, I attended my son's Christmas concert last night and I came home with two.
Wednesday Wall of Shame recipients come on down:
Rude and Disrespectful People Who Attend Children's Concerts. These are the people who decide to bring siblings to a concert then park their behinds in the front rows and let the siblings run wild up and down the aisles interrupting people who came to watch and support their children and are trying to enjoy or possibly hear the performance.
The people who come 15-20 minutes late to the concert and then decide to stand in the middle of the open door to give themselves enough light to look for empty seats, taking their sweet time while discussing with their late group which seats would be acceptable to them.....guess what...You came late, you don't get to chose your seat, there are children on the stage trying hard to show us what they learned. Close the door, shut your yap, park your behind on the first empty chair. I don't care that you don't sit together. You lost that privilege when you showed up late and brought the trailer park with you.
The people who decide to have more then few drinks before attending their child's Christmas concert. I know it's after 5pm and yes,this is the time to be jolly, but it is not OK to show up for the concert smelling from Eau De Johny Walker.
Shame on you Rude and Disrespectful Children Concert Disturbers.
Obnoxious and Unsafe Drivers (Usually) In Big Trucks When It's Snowing. All the dumb drivers honking their horns, trying to run people of the road just because some of us slow down from 80 to 60 while driving our children to and from school during a snowstorm. These are the same drivers that you see few miles down the road in a ditch trying to flag down the cars they just tried to run off the road. Good Luck with that, Buddy....If I wasn't a lady I would finger you while driving by at safe speed, but because I am a lady I will just drive by and give you a nice smile and ask God to send you a tow truck (in few hours).
Shame on you Obnoxious and Unsafe Drivers
....and on a happy note
I've been busy baking and if you like to check out my recipes you can do so on my Gourmet Meals For Less blog

Hi, Ms. Bibi~
I couldn't agree with you more about the childrens concerts--if only I had a venue like this when I was raising kids!
Maybe someone reading your post will see themselves in it and change their ways--tis the season for miracles, eh?
Sending you many hugs!
Peace, love happiness and health,

Once again, you baking looks yummy! What do you do with all your creations? I love to bake, but I don't want to eat it, which I do because no one else will.
People in general can be annoying. People are getting so caught up in their own lives they forget they are living among others.
Totally agree about the rudies at Christmas concerts.
BTW, shame on you Ms. Bibi for tempting me with your decadent cookies!
Very worthy recipients. I find the rude people you described in #1 to also do the same at church!!!
I'm so with you on the concerts too - my daughter has a show on Saturday and I'm hoping the theater is filled with nice happy rule-minding people. :)
Hope you are feeling better soon.
And cherry cranberry shortbread bars???YUM~
oh, ms. bibi! i love your rant on the rude late people! how i would LOVE to say that to them when they show up, stumble in, step on my feet and ask ME if i can "slide down one or two seats" to accomodate them, their family, and their tardiness! you hit the nail on the head!
Hilarious take on the concerts...and just in time for me to read since I'm attending one of those concerts tomorrow evening for my daughter! (I promise not to be late, but I Might, maybe have a glass of wine before I go.)

I also don't understand letting kids run around restaurants, standing on the seats, for that matter being allowed to say this is yucky at the dinner table! Holly
I can't stand the cavalier attitude of the big rig drivers. It's as if they get pleasure out of blinding us with three feet of sludge they project at our windshields as they crazily speed past.
