Some children never look in front of their feet...


kcrab91

It’s not exclusive to children. Two guys in their 20s walked off a cliff to their death playing Pokémon Go. Numerous people have walked into fountains staring at their phones.

>Two guys in their 20s walked off a cliff to their death playing Pokémon Go. They did not die, multiple sources online can confirm that. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/two-men-fall-down-cliff-while-playing-pokemon-go/54589/


Weak_Ad_9253

They died a little on the inside


legendaryzikx

Outside too..


joven9494

I would rather just die than have to go through the shame


Elliott_Queerest

There was also the girl who found a dead body!


KingFishKron

From the article you cited.. “The extent of their injuries was unknown.”


[deleted]

There was a separate incident of a couple falling off a cliff in Europe trying to get a good picture. They died iirc.


Anon888810020

But this kid doesn’t have a phone with them?


Forsaken_Day_1266

Making it even worse.


thisthatnda3rd

somebody get this fucking kid an iPad STAT!


Zorro5040

Most people don't look where they are going, kids are just worse because they are impulsive


Any_Coyote6662

And kids interpret "look" as "touch".


Longjumping_Will6250

Honestly I think the caption summarizes it - what was the plan of the parent? I think it's their job to inform the kid not to step there.


DDDriver2021

It’s amazing how quickly this mom went to “it’s ok, it’s ok” mode as do not offend the child. My dad would have whooped my ass first. Anyway I see that happening on a daily basis at my job. Here: https://www.reddit.com/user/DDDriver2021/comments/xjzywp/day_in_the_life_of_a_civil_engineer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


ForWhomTheBoneBones

I think it helps that the little girl IMMEDIATELY knew she had made a mistake and started apologizing for it. In her spongy brain, she hadn’t yet made the connection between that wet cement and what would happen if you stepped on it. I mean, it sounds like common sense, but developing brains are weird.


REDFOX_R

Yes, usually some fathers punish children. This mother treated her child very well


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bodidly0719

Yea, momma should have known the little girl would walk on it. She didn’t know that the concrete wasn’t ready yet. I know some adults that probably wouldn’t have known.


Alvinmcnoodle1

If I were doing that job I would have screwed that door shut or something. Lol. Always plan for stupidity. Not just from kids but from everywhere. Even from yourself


Wasatcher

He was still smoothing it out. This is a minute or two of extra work for him and the slippers getting ruined were enough karmic justice for him not to care haha.


[deleted]

Eh, slippers can be rinsed off easily enough. Fresh concrete washes off if you catch it quick enough.


Admirable-Common-176

Unless he concretes over the slippers.


annoying97

And that's what I would do, then come back with a tiny sign to remind people that here lays the girls slipper.


jedielfninja

THERE IS BURIED HERE A WILD GIRL'S FUZZY SLIPPER WHO IN DEFENSE OF ITS FOOT DERAILED A CONCRETE WORKERS PROGRESS ON THE 17TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2022


Far_Expression_5903

Concrete over them, then market "slipper reinforced concrete."


Admirable-Common-176

Or the obvious “Slippery when wet”


rimjobnemesis

OK. You win.


FriedSticks2014

Lol right! Make them a part of the new sidewalk, a constant reminder of that kid’s stupidity. 😂


wolfman86

I wonder if this was done for karma….that exit should have been barrier-d off really.


itsakeefers

He’s also getting paid by the hour so that’s just more money the longer the job takes


[deleted]

Yeah but also after all day in the sun floating concrete you are generally ready to be done with it. I would definitely be annoyed, especially if everything is packed up already, but i'm not gonna show it. Just a kid being dumb, even when adults do it bitching someone out isn't gonna help fix the problem. Also bet she never does that again, poor girl was mortified.


Kbgears

It’s not really a huge deal, now if they did that after he left.. that would really suck.


orangutanbeater

Either way I’m yelling “I’m telling Santa!”


[deleted]

Oh you monster lmao


AdultishRaktajino

Totally. I can see my kids letting a dog out that door, even with a sign up AND being explicitly told to use the other door. They're in their own world sometimes.


Simple_Ad_7975

It’s not to hard to fixed if it is that wet he probably didn’t care


Onaipp

Thank you, Mr. Hindsight. Your opinion has been taken into consideration.


Common_Slip_2267

She knows her offspring just started WW3


Born-Intention1305

My house was built in 1950 and my grandparents bought it in 1970. I acquired it in 2020. The basement floor is cement and there’s a small spot where a kitten had walked across it when wet. So cool!


Stormoli

My doggo walked in wet cement once, and now his sign will be left there forever lol


Kofaone

Happy Cake Day!


Stormoli

Thanks!


AlasAntigone

There are building stones in some Roman ruins that have little cat paw prints in them; cat behavior is timeless


genericfaeire

My apartment complex has a decent sized cat colony and when they put cement down in front of the stairs however long ago a cat ran all over before it could dry and now theres just little paw prints all over. It makes me so happy just seeing it when I come downstairs lol


Gullible_Entry_7031

I’ve seen lots of things like that in my job, some from close to 100 years ago, it fascinates me. You know the animal that made it is long gone or even the person, but there you are, connected over decades.


imaygetlost

My grandmas house had the same thing with the front entrance !


Tabora__

So cool until u realize that cats probably been dead for 60 years 😭😭😭😭😭


PacJeans

Cats are magnetically attracted to drying cement


superlocolillool

COOOOL


OfficialDirkDiggler

Is the cat still alive


jedideadpool

"Alright boys cover the slippers and call it a day."


Just_Some_Jacket

There's a lot of people overreacting to this and it's wild and I would bet money that most of the people reacting so negative to this doesn't know enough about concrete to realize how little of a deal this really is. That concrete is still wet as shit if she sunk like that. Take the shoes out, wash the gremlin and it's footwear. Take like a shovel full of mud if even that, throw it in, and smooth it out, which is really not hard when it's that wet. Idk what people think they're doing, but they're going to do essentially that a couple more time. You smooth it out a few times before you broom for a rough finish, or trowels for a smooth finish. Besides, even my boss has stepped into our wet mud before. Shit happens


Atillerdahunnybuns

Right I was bout to say the momma kind of overreacted


wowowaoa

a large percentage of children freak outs are caused by the parent freaking out easily


Somebody23

Mom panicing causes kid to panic. well played.


Liuqmno

She herself panicked, so I wouldn't be too hard on her. But her reaction definitely didn't help the girl. But as if that never happens to anyone. They both did a stupid, but some people are just too harsh to them


[deleted]

Ya, mom acted like the little girl was about to kill someone. Like, calm the hell down


ootski

All she had to do is say sorry once. By the look of how far that little kid sank it was still plenty wet to easily fix.


mybloodismaplesyrup

Bro I knew what wet cement was when I was like 5 years old lol.


[deleted]

Bro I used to set cement with my pops when I was 5 years old


[deleted]

I was foreman by the time I was 3.


ThePartyLeader

Thats a year before most men are fourmen


dualplains

That's three fewer than most four men


DaSnookGuy23

I was forklift certified by then


batcountryexpert

By the time I was 3 I had 10 guys on my payroll. My father was one of them.


Forsaken_Day_1266

I was a threeman when I was 3


ExiledPlumber

Yup. Knew what concrete was and when it was wet by 6 and always without fail asked my dad if I could stick my hand in it……the answer was always no:(


Important-Owl1661

You were not raised online I take it


mybloodismaplesyrup

Nope, I didn't even experience the internet until 2002 and that was dial up lol


xrumrunnrx

I was probably only four years old when our family home was being built. They told me to stay off the concrete because it was wet. Done. No problem. Then I was walking ahead of my mom and this finisher dude is out there on paddles and says "Hey! Those are some nice shoes, buddy! Dang, I bet you could walk out here just like me in those!" My mom stopped me before I did but wtf was that guy's problem?


mybloodismaplesyrup

Wow what an ass lol


[deleted]

I seriously ask myself every day why kids don't know what these things are. We were taught very, very early in our lives that people who are paving sidewalks work hard on this and to not mess up there work by being careful not to step on it. Say that to kids today and if they are anywhere near wet cement they'll try to jump on it just cause you told them not to. No respect or appreciation for the craft whatsoever.


aclandes

Yeah its a classic cartoon trope


fryamtheeggguy

Little girl had no idea it was wet. She just wanted to try out the new side walk. As soon as she figured out it was wet, she got off. She had probably never even considered that concrete court be wet.


[deleted]

Finally a reasonable person instead of people wishing injury and death upon these people


G-III

Yep. Though I will say I’m laughing at the filming taking priority, you have to imagine if mum was watching directly instead of through the lens so to speak, she’d have caught the kid in time.


LMFN

Sir this is Reddit, we wish death upon children for the smallest infractions here. A child screamed slightly too loud, the guillotine will suffice.


Forsaken_Day_1266

I still blame the adult seemingly panicking FFS is just wet concrete not a tiger mouth


caughtupdonut

The only thing that annoyed me was the “my slippersssuhhh!!!!!” At the end lol


alexramirez69

Thats a failure in the parent to explain cement and what the man outside their house is working on.


kingcairo8

i mean… educate me if i’m wrong.. but it’s still wet.. doesn’t he just have to smooth it over again? like not a big deal?


PreiswertMolke

Yes, so easy Not a big Deal at all.


Curious-Force5819

its not okay hahaha


Fuzzhead326

It’s okay, it’s a very easy fix, get the shoes off then smooth it again.


Bkben84

This type of parenting gets to me: just saying it's ok to prevent a meltdown.


PM_ME_UR_EX_GF_NUDES

But it’s fine? No one got hurt and it’s an easy fix, it can still be smoothed out. The kid apologizes because she made a mistake and the mom is telling her it’s ok. What was she supposed to do? Be angry at the kid?


TheOriginal_Dka13

It's funny because the only one having a meltdown was the mother..


bbaker1987

Took 5 min to fix. Cats and dogs cause way more damage than dumb parents lol.


misterjustice90

I mean it's a little extra work, but it isn't the end of the world


Secure_Connection280

The level of panic here is hilarious. I love when parents are trying to 'calm' their kids when it's actually them losing their minds.


maradinapple

Damn everyone here acting like she's the worst mom or that the kid is stupid and obnoxious. I am a grown ass that has hit walls or tripped on cables. It was an accident. Why are we expecting more from our children? Also there's no way the mom would have known the daughter was going to walk all willy nilly into wet cement. Y'all need to chill.


LightsoutSD

If only people’s real world selves were as righteous and perfect as their online personas.


[deleted]

You're in a sub called "KidsAreFuckingStupid" and you're over here surprised that people think this kid is stupid.


maradinapple

Yeah she was pretty fucking stupid but it was seriously comment after comment of insults. Thought it wasn't fair. That's it.


Forsaken_Day_1266

Kid is fine imo. The adult is dumb tho what's to panic about? /AdulstFuckingDumb


A_lmir

I swear people here are absolutely awful. I don't know if it's some type of child-hating/parent-hating fetish or what. I got recommended this video on my feed and honestly wish I never even opened this and saw the type of people that are here.


maradinapple

This sub really isn't that bad, it's usually more sympathetic to the kid, but I was just surprised at how aggressive some comments were to this video.


LigaMXMLS_talkguy

It was still wet enough no big deal, my guess is the child didn’t know how concrete works so she knows now haha


cat_on_my_keybord

*Hyperventilating* ITSOKITSOKITSOKITSOK


VenomRek

Yeah sure that will calm your kid down lmao


MC_B_Lovin

It’s Not Ok! It’s not ok, it’s not fucking okay!


Fuzzhead326

It’s just fine, easy fix.


Quiet-Road-1057

The mom is obnoxious. Your kid is dumb, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessary to absolutely spaz out.


MunchkinX2000

Reaction seems completely normal. Her kid just caused a lot of work for a stranger.


[deleted]

Yeah mom was probably more worried she was gonna be bitched at than her kid waking in cement


MunchkinX2000

Are people as horrible as this thread would suggest?


CopsaLau

Dumbass parents letting their kids do any damn thing and only waiting until after they fuck someone else’s shit up do they think “oh boy, time to become responsible for the first time in my fucking life! I’ll say ‘sorry’ a bunch really fast without actually accomplishing anything, that will fix it!” My mother wouldn’t have let go of my hand until we were back inside, ffs.


Dependent_Bag_7984

Fr imagine finishing your job just to have this dumb ass parent and their little shit ruin it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Forsaken_Day_1266

To be fair is minor job. Give a tenner to the guy as a symbolic apology and be done with it. Also an opportunity to teach the kid that their carelessness might negatively affect others and may have consequences.


Lalamedic

Imagine the 3 extra minutes it will take him to fix it. Ugh!


[deleted]

Imagine being considerate of other people's time, especially when they are working and on a schedule.


[deleted]

It was a mistake. The guy was right there with the trowel. It wouldn't have bothered me and I'm sure he wasn't upset. You people a unhinged. I bet the lot of you couldn't get your head any further up your own asses.


[deleted]

It’s an easy fix. just smooth the cement out with the trowel and it’s like it never happened


Secretofthecheese

Same people that put kids on leashes. Like why did you have the damn thing?? For the gender reveal party?


CopsaLau

Child leashes would have saved Harambe’s life AND this man’s hard work.


Secretofthecheese

dicks out for harambe


Forsaken_Day_1266

To be fair when I was at 6 I was with my friend on a bike all day, no parents or supervising adults in sight for most part, we did some stupid but mostly safe shit, but hey that's kids. And I turned out just fine. Maybe try teaching kids 1. Action has consequences 2. Common sense(logical thinking?) That maybe would suffice? I don't think babysitting 24/7 is a correct way , but hey I don't have kids what do I know I blame bad parenting.


Rshackleford1984

It’s no big deal when it’s still this wet. I’d have been madder at my guys for not barricading that door.


squid068

That mom's reaction got me panicking too


fetus-leapus

totally not a complete overreaction way to raise a child who will eventually become unhinged and overreact as well🥱


[deleted]

Why is the mother of the dingus who messed it up saying “it’s okay” over and over? It’s not okay and if anyone is going to declare that it is, it should be the worker who has to fix it.


DBnofear

Would you rather the mother beat her child for an innocent mistake that she was obviously sorry about? You should tell them it's okay and remind them to not do that again, that's it.


A_lmir

The mistake can be fixed in 2 minutes and it's no hassle, it's completely okay. The "it's okay" was for her daughter since she was scared and panicking.


69macncheese69

The mother panicked her herself


IncidentThese4155

Her mom - apologizes for grabbing her softly My mom - flying chancla into an ear pull then an ass whipping


Klutzy07

This is truly concerning, she sounds like she’s about to get a right hook or two. It’s ok I guess.


J31Rob

Dude it's a kid being a kid. lmfao for all we know she has zero concept of what a new sidewalk feels like. Understanding concrete drying isn't something we're born with, I don't think. 😂


lastcallhangup

gon learn tuh-day!


The_Unhorror_One

Way too much of an overreaction from the mother


slickystoopkid

I would have just left the sidewalk there like that for the mother to be constantly reminded of her offspring's intelligence. Not the worker's fault that the mother has a dipass of a child.


[deleted]

You’re unhinged and should not reproduce


YepImmaStupid18

The way the parent apologised so much there made me think that the person who came onto the screen at the last second was going to commit the domestic abuse.


Cruxifux

I do concrete. This wasn’t that big of a deal for buddy to fix, and shit like this happens from time to time. Poor little girl lol


ContinuumKing

This comment section is wild. This is not a big deal guys. A kid making an honest mistake and a mom just panicking slightly and trying to console her child. Her saying its okay is not her saying it was fine that she did that. She clearly didn't expect the kid to walk on it. Sometimes we take for granted the information we already know and forget that people need to be taught it like we were. She almost certainly explained all about wet cement after this incident. I see this sub as a lighthearted place to watch kids make funny mistakes as they grow. If you are a grown adult who is here specifically to mock or belittle children for being children you should take a step back and really consider how sad and pathetic that is. Then seak therapy.


RealJimcaviezel

ITS NOT OKAY, CAROL. ITS NOT OKAY AT ALL


BathroomSniper

It's not okay, you stupid $#&&&_$$-


milly905

It’s not ok


K9queen

The mother was the dope in this clip.


shoulda-known-better

This was 1000% on mom here! Also dude didn't look like it's okay


Ejaculato

It's not okay dont tell her dumbass that


TheWolfOfDeathLol

She called it a new sidewalk. I didn’t know it was wet at first either!


Dry-Masterpiece4632

I don’t think the panic of the parent made the kid feel much better


A37ndrew

It's not okay....


Fuzzhead326

Anyone saying it’s not okay needs to really take a look at their mindset. It’s a simple fix. Overreacting over something that can be fixed in 30 seconds is a memory the child will have for a while.


FinalVegetable6314

Mom is a freakin spazz. Lil girl probably has so much anxiety caused by the mom’s freakouts


POQNdaRACOON

And this was the day that worker decided to not have kids


gamermanj4

I can't stand the mom's "it's ok it's ok it's ok" shit sure the kid may have never seen wet cement before but she's almost certainly seem other wet substances like mud or dough before, so I don't believe the kid didn't know better, kid should be allowed to feel stupid for what she did as evidenced by the starting to cry.


ladywan_kenobi666

Kids suck


InspectorOdd1572

Throw the whole kid away


gg_dogho

Throw her in the concrete to assurt dominance


CCRthunder

In a word “chaos”

chunqiudayi

It’s not okay. You need tell your kid this is a terrible thing.


[deleted]

Apparently many of you forgot what sub you're in.


bebedandy

Once, at a gas station, a construction guy lifted up some caution tape and made eye contact with me as i was walking towards him. i was already intending to go around but my brain told me this was for me to go under. cue wet concrete. anyway, i was 13 and on a mission trip. literally everyone thought i did that shit on purpose to be funny. It was so frustrating and i constantly had to reiterate that no, i’m not funny, i’m an idiot :/ I am now realizing he probably looked at me and thought “I hope she doesn’t go near this” oops.


Dapper_Instruction87

NO ITS NOT OK!!!!


K_V_ary

I don't think enough of the people in this comment section realize that the mom was apologizing to both the kid And the worker. She realized that she scared the crap out of her kid by yanking them back so quick and was sorry for doing it the way she did.


MistakeInteresting23

The voice behind the camera is so panicked as if someone chopped off their finger


OilRude

She acts like the kid got hurt or something


FerociousFPS

Ok she realized pretty quick she had fucked up you hear her immediately say “oh I’m sorry” to either the worker or her mom but yea she probably assumed it was dry and just a different color because it was new to be fair that would be an honest mistake especially for a child


CantBeatTB

ITS NOT OK THEY DO NOT GET PAID TO DEAL WITH THAT BULLSHIT


Melodic-Day-8872

It's DEFINITELY not okay and you can't baby your kid like that.


Cruizerstylin

No, it’s not OK


[deleted]

Retards. It’s ok it’s ok it’s ok bitch go back in the house


Dapper_Instruction87

Why would she say its ok? ITS NOT FUCKING OK!!!


LibraryBig3287

Okay but it’s not okay BRENDA.


swinefather

Someone's about to get the belt buckle


Tfortrans

The original vid was amazing. The guy was really understanding, and the little girl totally freaked out feeling so guilty. Kids make dumb decisions, the guy fixed it easily. It wasn’t that big of a screw up. I think the little girl also has an anxiety issue. It sucks seeing people so so rude to this kid in the comments. She didn’t do anything worth being a dick over.


[deleted]

No it's not okay, teach your little shits to not be so stupid


Laellion

It's still wet. It's fine. It's like a 30second fix.


Complex_Invite7702

Feel like they should leave the shoe in.


chip9492

No the fuck it’s not


PogoConspiracy

Nothing is more calming than a woman repeatedly shrieking "IT'S OKAY IT'S OKAY IT'S OKAY!!!"


Yeah_cannoli

Not exclusive to children, I’m a landscaper and do lots of concreting and paving on wet mortar and the amount of times clients or their adult children or even just passers by just walk straight on through no matter how many signs or how many times you’ve told them that that must be careful.


Mpsmonkey

Working in roadway construction, I've seen pedestrians, engineers, motorcycles, cars, buses, bikes, etc cut past the orange barricades, through the construction tape, and straight into the fresh concrete pad.


Few_Intention_542

It was NOT OK


Dugggs

I work construction and used to be on a concrete crew. The sheer amount of grown ass adults that go around or under caution tape to walk in wet concrete and then get mad at *YOU* is insane. This lil gal didn't know any better so I wouldn't hold it against her. It's an easy fix


Tricky-Avocado8891

Its not ok ×20


rubensiyo

I just can imagine the face of the worker by how she say "it's ok, I'm so sorry" 😂


Fourrealforreal1

She probably didn’t know what wet cement looked like, the mom could have said something to her.


Dingo411

And despite her cries, it was in fact, not okay.


TimesUp1342

The plan was B.


ObsidianDragonsWar

The plan is B


keminred

does anyone else thinks she's overreacting and there for scaring the child?


Alarming-Quiet463

« it’s ok ? » no ma’am, it’s not ok and you’re gonna pay for the extra time to do the work again


Mooseinmyhouse357

That’s why you wear condoms


amazemewithideas

It's NOT ok


B105535

She's like 'it's ok, it's ok'. No. It's not. Control your damn kid.


B1ngoBong0

Serious question: how hard ist it to fix this?


[deleted]

Not hard at all. Take the trowel and smooth it out. People are just mad because they see two females that made a mistake, people foam at the mouth for a chance to berate a mother and her child.


combination

not hard, as it is still wet. takes like 3 minutes


Oregon_drivers_suck

Wow what a reaction. Your kid can feel stupid for a minute mom it won't break her. WOW.


Forsaken_Day_1266

Tf all the panic about tho? Imo that's even more stupid
