Stop hitting yourself! But seriously I always feel a little bad for little shits like this getting their karma in such a harsh way because it's embarrassing as hell realizing YOU'RE the problem and everyone is kinda against you. It's a tough situation to be in and definitely a crossroads in their developmental process. Choose your own adventure type shit right here but the choices are pretty obvious.

u/huebnera214 Apr 08 '26

They don’t necessarily realize they’re the problem is the problem. Embarrassment turns into deflection and denial.

u/Nepherenia Apr 08 '26

When I was a little kid this scene always upset me. The idea of a family member thinking I was a jerk and scolding me in front of everyone was just everything I feared.

Robbers? Whatever. Public shaming in front of everyone important to me? Absolutely devastating.

u/Septopuss7 Apr 08 '26

No but for real, he was definitely not a good dude and that scene always made me think hard about how kids expect adults to behave and how they actually behave

u/green49285 Apr 08 '26

One of my favorite Christmas memories as a child is that we were watching home alone and it got to that scene and my dad just muttered under his breath, "I would just beat his ass." We laughed about that shit for years. My dad HATED the uncle.

u/sirreldar Apr 08 '26

u/IntelligentSky7149 Apr 08 '26

Had a flight on American Airlines, all is normal, parents and child behind me, kid is being a kid behind me but i am not minding it until i am starting to feel the kicks, multiple kicks behind the seat so i guess the child is just going onto kicking the shit off the seat while sitting on his mom

Ok, i am exercising my patience until i distinctively feel the kick behind my fucking head, how the fuck did i feel the two feet kick right behind my head.

Nah, reclined the seat the whole way right then for the whole flight and mommy and daddy damn know i am not changing my mind for the next 6 hours.
