I'm with you on this.
A couple of years back during a run on Waiheke Island, a ten year old kid jumped onto the back of our '47 and walked across the splash-pan,
Its mother got a bit uppity when I bellowed at the kid, so I bellowed at her too. (Just to keep things equal and fair...if she can't train her kid to correct behaviour she deserves a bellow too.)
The husband/father didn't want any of this; he went lickety-spit to parts far away.
"I'd never climb on your furniture; don't let your your idiot child walk on my car!"
I don't think I made any new friends that day either.
