Crying Baby In Bar Ticks Off Texas Woman You re An Idiot

A Texas woman was captured on video after she became ticked off about a crying baby in a bar and decided to confront the infant’s mother. While some have criticized her for complaining, others have agreed that she was right to lambaste the mother.

Although the details are few and far between, a video captured inside an unnamed bar in Austin, Texas, has sparked a huge debate about whether or not babies should be allowed in a bar, according to the NY Post. For the woman caught on camera, the answer is a resounding “No,” and she didn’t waste any time making the mother of a crying infant aware of what she thought about her questionable parenting.

In the clip, the unnamed older woman is captured complaining to another group of patrons about the fussy child they chose to bring into the adult establishment. With fellow restaurantgoers watching, a heated argument ensues between the angry woman and the 27-year-old mom as a fussy child is heard in the background. 

Not mincing words, the angry unnamed woman rips into the mom and her friends, who were in the bar with a fussy child. “You guys are idiots. Why would you do this to the poor kid?” she asks before telling the group to get out. “Get your baby out of a bar,” she says in an exasperated voice, obviously annoyed with the young mother’s choices.

Surprisingly, the group really doesn’t put up much of a fight, instead saying they are going to pay their bill and leave. However, that’s not enough for the irate patron who asks, “Why would you do that?” referring to the mom’s choice to bring the baby inside the bar. “Why would you do this to the poor kid?”

The mom tries to claim the baby is “having fun,” but it certainly doesn’t sound like it as the child is heard crying throughout the video. This seems to prompt the older woman to escalate the confrontation as she begins to swear, repeatedly calling the group “idiots” and telling them to get the kid out of the bar. That’s about the time another patron decides to step in, accusing the angry woman of “harassing” the mom.

With tensions mounting and more people becoming involved in the confrontation, an employee enters the fray, standing between the two arguing parties before asking the older woman to leave before things can escalate any further. She seems to comply as the clip draws to a close, but the fight was far from over for social media users, who quickly sounded off after the video was shared online.

Although it is unclear where the clip first appeared online, ARK Media posted it to YouTube with the title “Karen Confronts Group Of Friends For Having Baby In Bar.” While the title suggests that the outlet was on the young mom’s side, it would seem their viewers were not in support of her parenting, as evidenced by the comments: Others suggested that there wasn’t enough information to form a concrete conclusion and also pointed out that the angry woman may have had too much to drink. Yahoo! News also posted the clip to their site, and comments there were similar. Many viewers said the mom was wrong for having the baby in the bar. In fact, three of the most upvoted comments read as follows: 

The vast majority of comments across the board, regardless of where the footage was posted, seemed to feel that a bar wasn’t appropriate for a small child. Those who seemed to disagree with the upset patron in the clip seemingly only did so by saying that it wasn’t a “bar,” but rather a restaurant with a bar in it. Perhaps the most perfect comment was this one: “No winners here.” And, truly, there wasn’t.
