Often, it's the lack of discipline. You'll see kids misbehaving in places like restaurants. They might climb on the tables or chairs. And then there are kids who just won't listen. For instance, when their parents tell them not to touch something, they do it anyway. It can be really frustrating for others around them.
One common type is being overly needy. They might constantly call or text you, expecting you to drop everything and be there for them. Another is being a back - stabber, like talking behind your back. Also, the ones who are always competitive in an annoying way, trying to outdo you in everything.
One common annoying behavior is excessive noise - making. Little kids often shout or scream when they are excited or want attention. Another is being disobedient. They might not listen to adults when told to stop doing something, like the kid kicking the seat. Also, messing things up, like the library incident where the kid made a mess of the bookshelves.
Often, horrible kid stories involve accidents. Like a kid falling from a tree while trying to get a ball and getting seriously injured. Also, stories of kids being left alone in a strange place can be quite horrible. It's a very scary situation for a young child who depends on adults for safety.
Typical rich kid spoiled stories usually center around overindulgence. For example, having multiple parties every week with extremely lavish setups while still in high school. They also tend to have a sense of superiority. They might look down on their classmates who don't have as much money and make unkind remarks. And they often expect instant gratification, like getting a new designer wardrobe delivered within an hour of seeing it in a magazine.
Lack of discipline from parents is a big one. For example, when kids misbehave in public like running wild in a store and the parents don't do anything. Another is excessive noise - making, like screaming just for fun.
Perhaps it's their disobedience. They never listen to the adults or follow the rules in the story. This causes chaos and trouble for the other characters. For instance, if they are told not to touch something precious and they do it anyway just out of defiance.
One common thing is stealing. They might steal their siblings' snacks or small items just to be a nuisance. For example, taking a piece of candy that was saved for later.
The kid might be seeking attention. They feel that by telling stories, they can get people to focus on them.
One time, there was a little kid on a plane. He kept kicking the back of my seat non - stop during the whole flight. I asked him politely to stop but he just giggled and continued. It was really annoying.
One way is to simply be polite and listen for a short while, then gently say you have something important to do. For example, 'That's an interesting story, but I need to make a call now.'
