I saw a recent post which is something quite close to my heart, badly behaved kids in India in restaurants, cinemas, trains/flights and the like..
Worst example would be, people with "brats" who visit homes and these kids run about, touching and picking up fragile stuff! One parent told me "You need to child proof your house" I wanted to say "Buddy, you need to HOUSE proof your child!". Btw we weren't able to speak a single sentence without the brat butting in!
I did wonder if this list exists for Bangalore restaurants. Would love to have a decent meal in an upscale restaurant without brats running around or ill equipped parents shouting out "Bunty, idhaar aaao betaaa' or plain being indifferent.
We once saw a "hyper kid", at a Pizzeria. He was running amok and creating such a racket on various tables with the cutlery and the ceramic plates, I wondered if he was the "owner's kid", untill one of the waiters tried to politely ask the child to stop. Then the mother slowly looked up,( like it was such an effort, or maybe she looked as to why the noise stopped) and the father brought him back to their table. Until then the family ate silently like that kid was not even theirs! No apologies to management or fellow patrons, whose experience was ruined, just because someone didn't follow good parenting !

As Scott Adams suggests via Dogbert's Clue for the Clueless, it might just be ok to send a "Champagne and Vasectomy courtesy of table 9"!
