May 10, 2011 1:28 am at 1:28 am #765842Boro Park GirlMemberIf ten is the highest, than watching someone run with scissors(or a knife) fast surely gets a 10.

May 10, 2011 11:38 pm at 11:38 pm #765852oomisParticipantReally the thing that grinds my gears and grigerers my kishkes, is when I see little kids running hefker with absolutely no adult watching them, especially when it forces my husband or me to run outside and down the stairs to catch a toddler about to get hit by a car or fall down a really steep staircase (yes, this has really happened more than once, and I am tired of our apparently being the only responsible adults on my block).
You cannot tell us to mind our own business or not look, because a) it’s impossible to avoid seeing what’s going on and b) we believe that the Torah mandates us to NOT turn a blind eye (lo suchal l’hisaleim). if that halacha refers to merely helping return a lost animal to its rightful owner, or help a beast unload his excessive burden, how much more so are we required to do so when it is a small child involved?
We have tried telling the parents that their kids were doing dangerous things, when we brought them home to them, and have talked about how people tend to overly relax and let their guyard down, forgetting this is not a bungalow colony, but it goes in one ear and out the other. We are not desirous of calling in CPS and massering on them. And we have no idea who their rabbonim are.
Any other helpful suggestions?

May 11, 2011 1:31 am at 1:31 am #765854always runs with scissors fastParticipantoomis I believe you. I know it happens and I commend you on caring and being aware and taking action! Hashem obviously loves you as evident that he brings you these opportunities to save yiddisher children. However, I am not downplaying the importance of guarding one’s children, and no parent should ever neglect that aspect.
Perhaps, however, it would benefit you more to see these occurances as custom made for you. Like , in other words, The Creator isn’t going to anyways neglect watching over those children, whose earthly parents have. So He sends an angel at that moment, to spare them from an accident. In the disguise of Oomis.
I also see things in my neighborhood. I try not to judge, but its hard not to. I say “i would never do that…” So i do understand what you’re saying.
May 11, 2011 1:34 am at 1:34 am #765855HaLeiViParticipantPut on a long nose and a tall hat and paint your face green. Then, run out and tell them if you catch them again… (I don’t even want to think of what comes next)
May 11, 2011 1:45 am at 1:45 am #765856TikkunHatzotMember“and watching someone iron with spray starch doesn’t?
I used to used to iron my uniforms with spray starch & then hairspray, so that the creases would be very sharp & stay like that for a long time (it was a requirement that we had). One time I left the iron sit too long on one spot of the hairsprayed shirt & *POOF!*…the shirt went up in huge flames!
Either way, the thing that makes my blood pressure go up is kids running around the shul during davening.
May 11, 2011 1:53 am at 1:53 am #765857BSDMemberWhen some one wrongs me (especially s/o for whom I’ve done a lot of favors)and then calls me to explain why they are right.
May 11, 2011 2:10 am at 2:10 am #765858kapustaParticipantPeople who don’t think. (Not that I’m so brilliant or anything, but there is a difference when someone is naturally not so smart and someone who just doesn’t think)
Hold button music
People who are downright nasty through complete lack of consideration or for their own enjoyment.
People who walk around with an attitude that the world was created to serve them.

I hear you loud and clear about that, but then think about all the times YOU yourself don’t think (me included) everyone’s human, and it’s an avoda to have that not get to you (that people don’t think not that everyones human)
May 11, 2011 3:20 am at 3:20 am #765860always runs with scissors fastParticipantAlso what makes my blood pressure go up is when I see in public someone pushing a poor helpless toddler in a stroller, with a bitter and angry hostile expression and then seeing them treating them abraisively. I can only imgaine the beginning of the horrors this child lives with daily inside their dwelling, until they are free to leave as an adult.
I really once almost felt I wanted to go sit next to this animal and explain to her that she was not being fair to the poor kid.
May 11, 2011 3:59 am at 3:59 am #765861doodle jumpParticipantChutzpah. I can’t tolerate it.

Very true. Everyone can make mistakes, but I was talking about people who have a motto of “don’t think”. Like people who don’t think about a possible aftereffect of doing/not doing something.
(I’m not sure that made any sense.)
May 11, 2011 1:46 pm at 1:46 pm #765866apushatayidParticipantWhen I see anonymous bulletins, posters or signs telling people what they are supposed to do, how to do it, when to do it, where to do it and who to do it with. If you can’t put your name on it, don’t put it out.

Sweet of you to say so, but I am hardly an angel, and lately am not in condition to run quite as fast after other people’s unwatched children. I really have moirah that someday one of these kids chalilah v’chas a million times, will get into a situation from which there is no escape.
May 12, 2011 4:20 am at 4:20 am #765878StuffedCabbageParticipantdifficult, annoying, overly sensitive people (specifically teachers….)
May 12, 2011 8:32 am at 8:32 am #765879Kshmo Kein HuMemberWhen people talk on cell phones in a full car. I don’t object because its rude, only because in such a tiny space I find it annoying, and distracting if I’m the driver.
For all that is good and pure in this world why can’t you just text??!!!!!!!!!
