[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a waiting room for a kid-based place, like a ballet school or pediatrician's office, or is it a waiting room for like a restaurant or law firm?

If it's a kid-based place, I would say something.  But I'm super confrontational. [/quote]

Yes, I think location matters. In my neighborhood, people bring their kids to the beer garden. I consider that an adult-centric venue, and would ignore anyone who asked me not to swear there. If you're hanging around waiting for Music Together to begin, then by all means remind people that little pitchers have big ears. [/quote]

Pre-covid, I was at a local sports pub where they served brunch with the game. A family of 4 came in and sat at a high top. At some point an obnoxiously loud patron belched a few choice words. The parents seemed appalled. The drunk realized their reaction and kindly apologized, but I was more annoyed with the poor judgment of the parents than I was annoyed with the profanity bleating drunk. This wasn't outside in a patio area. It was literally at the bar. No kids allowed. So yeah, location certainly comes into play.
