I do not like progressive though. It may not be such a big deal for homeowners, but for car insurance they can put you in a bad spot, according to an accident attorney friend of mine. If you get in an accident and are sued, they will not settle out of court, forcing a court defense can put you personally liable.
On kids acting up in public, was in NY last weekend. Always European kids allowed to run wild in restaurants. Crawling all over everything, in the middle of walkways, is it just a different culture or are these just ass hole parents ignoring their children?
Another weird interaction in NY, was at a really nice restaurant, seated at a table with the family. The tables are really close together as one would expect there. Group of adults have to pass between my chair and one of theirs to get to their seat. Woman bumps me oddly, so I watched her. She has to pass by my son as well and as she is getting ready to sit in her chair she takes off her scarf. It almost hits my kid and she immediately looked at my wife to see if she noticed. I kept watching her, one of the people at my table notice me watching her. She then takes her jacket off and obviously hit my son on purpose and immediately looks at my wife and makes a big scene apologizing. My wife was oblivious to the whole thing until that point and starts to move my son's chair up. He wasn't really in the way, the group at the table before this group had no problem coming and going without issue, so I loudly said that he's fine, I watched her the whole time and that she did it on purpose.
Nothing else was said, but I could almost hear her trying to explain what happened later when my wife went to the bathroom. Wonder what the person in her party thought about it, as I know they got a gist of the situation. Really aggressive way to try to establish boundaries, it was hard for me to not react harsher with her fucking with my kid like that.
