E*TRADE San Francisco CAN KISS MY ASS
So the other day I took my son Max to the Creme Brulee Cart in San Francisco for a tasty Vanilla Bean creme brulee:
Max is 3 so he likes to run around a lot. There’s a ramp around the E*TRADE building on Market and Sutter, which is an irresistible attraction to a free spirt such as my son:
He ran all the way around the circular building, just out of my sight. I knew it was a dead end so I let him get ahead of me:
All of a sudden MAX WAS SCREAMING HYSTERICALLY AND RUNNING THE OTHER DIRECTION:
Because the SONS OF BITCHES at E*TRADE SAN FRANCISCO INSTALLED AUTOMATED ANTI-HOBO WATER SPRAYERS:
No fence, no warning, nothing. SUCKIT ETRADE YOU BASTARDS FOR MAKING MY SON CRY. YOU ARE HEARTLESS ASSHOLES.
Would it kill you to put up a fence? Tears were streaming down my son’s face, he was completely terrified. Took me 15 minutes to calm him down.

Maybe you should keep track of your kid. What if there was a hobo back there looking for some tasty dinner?
It's never the parent's fault, never. Letting a 3 year old out of your sight? Give me a break.
Really? How about some personal responsibility? Oh, and your son's a crybaby.
Lol, right? Be a responsible parent, E*Trade probably played some kind of a role in keeping your little brat from experiencing a hobo's dickcheese. Now pay your taxes so more of those anti-hobo spray guns can be installed. >XD
How dare they install those sprayers! It would have been so much better to have hobos (as you put it) down there for your son to encounter, instead of water. You're right!
It looks completely contrived me. Instead of comforting a screaming toddler, your first impulse is to take a picture. Shame on you.
How about learning how to control your kid? Well, at least we know where he gets his crybaby traits from.
Kid power has gone to your head
Sadly our culture has embraced safety nannying. 3 year olds are supposed to run and play. I'm sorry this happened to you and Max.
They are always named Max. Hahahahahaha
Hahahaha. Thank you ETrade for warming my
Heart.
Clear that none of the commenters have children...
You have an adorable child. I'm sorry that he was scared in such a way. I have three young sons and I take responsibility for them in all situations. Children can and will always find the one swing that's about to break, or step into the only knee-deep puddle in a hundred mile radius. It's our job to think ahead and see potential risks before our children encounter them. Of course, we can't prevent everything that might go wrong, but we can be there WITH them when it does. You made an assumption that the area would be safe since it had been so many times before...and that made you careless. What if that gate had been open for maintenance or there had actually been hobos lounging in that area? It should have been a simple matter of racing with your son down the ramp, together, and making a game of it. Then you both would have gotten sprayed and you could have shared a good laugh with your son. Instead you took the extra time to snap a photo of his distress. In my opinion, that was pretty heartless.
