So, I'm out for a bit of a scoot this morning.
I pull into a gas station. There's a bus stop in front.
I fill up, and go in and pay.

Coming out, I see a crying kid, standing near my bike, with his fingers in his mouth.

His mother accosts me.

"Look what you did to my son!" she screams at me.

"Lady," I say, "A. you need to keep track of your kid. And B. he's just learned a painful but valuable lesson."

Sheesh...

She lets her kid run around on the forecourt of a gas station and it's YOUR fault?

What if the kid ran in front of a car and got skittled?
I s'pose that would be the drivers fault.

Some parents need a good slap up the side of the head.

Hope she didn't get you plate. She will probably be trying to file a lawsuit against you to pay for juniors college and the rest of his life.

This is almost as bad as the time you backed into the lady in the SUV.
Be more careful next time! :-D

did she at least offer to clean the skin fingerprints off the pipes?

EDIT:

I build houses for a living (for the next 10 days anyway....) so I'm in neighborhood/subdivision/suburbia type areas all the time. Lots of kids.

Once this housewife type runs out after my truck so I stop. She yells "YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN! MY KIDS PLAY ON THESE STREETS!!!"

I responded, "your kids play on the streets?" and drove off.

Same woman 2 weeks later is driving behind me and I'm doing the speed limit (20 mph) and she actually passed me because I was going to slow. Sheesh!

Ya know, my dad would've smacked me upside the head for being stupid enough to touch the hot pipe.
