IronJambo Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 ?? You can't give your kid a really stupid name and not expect people to mock. Posting it on social media shows the same intelligence as the mother though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Poor show from the airline, tbh. Doesn't matter what the kid's name is, or whether it is perceived as stupid or not, it's just shan patter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Reekin' Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Could've been worse - at least they didn't name her QWERTYUIOP. (That's probably her brother's name, right enough!)

Cade Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Airline staff should have been more professional but the parents should be charged with cruelty. How the birthing register allowed such nonsense in the first place is also a question that needs answers.

This weird expectation that you can behave as ridiculously as you want, as stupidly as you want, and not have folks taking the piss is odd. Folk SHOULD fear ridicule and that may moderate their behaviour. The parents are clearly the type of social media gobshites who deserve ridicule " airline mocks epileptic girl" was the headline yesterday as opposed to the reality staff understandably crease themselves over bone face case of parental stupidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Well the really good thing is that after the publicity seeking Mum has had all the attention she wants her five year old daughter will never be laughed at again, we all know that at least kids at school are all respectful and would never laugh at something different in another child. I remember a kid who moved into our street and his short pants were longer than ours, he was calledf Shuggie Shuggie long pants and was sent home crying every day for his first few days. His mother cut down and shortened the length, this of course cured the problem, not, because being what we are he immediately became Shuggie, Shuggie short pants which he remained until we found someone else to pick on. I shudder what wee Abcde is going to go through when she hits the jungle of cruel kids, and she will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Leaf Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Macaulay Carson Culkin, that's the Home Alone guy, is dropping his middle name because he doesn't like it. He has conducted a poll asking fans for their suggestions on a replacement middle name. The current favourite is Macaulay Culkin. If he goes through with it, his new name will be Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin. That's a true story, not a joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Social media, which could have been a great thing, has been hijacked by attention seeking people. People who are not adverse, as well as other behaviour, to exposing their children to their desire to be noticed. Maybe there’s just more silly behaviour being noticed these days due to the exposure of the internet, but even just looking around, you see things that people do and wonder what is going through their heads. Some people seem to want to raise the bar up ever higher in the “look at me” stakes, without thinking about how stupid they will look. The airline people, in this case, should have behaved more professionally, but the parents should feel some guilt and responsibility for the torment that their child will, perhaps, suffer through her young days. It will, probably, suit them to play the victim instead of taking, even some of, the blame themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
