serves her right
in the supermarket one day, i saw(and bloody heard) a fat munter of a woman screaming at her kid, telling him in no uncertain terms that he couldn't have the bag of sweets he wanted, as she didn't have enough money. she obviously needed all of her money to pay for the booze filling her trolley. i got stuck behind her at the checkout and had to listen to her repeatedly threatening to hit the child if he didn't stop crying. nice woman.
as i only had a few things to pay for, i got out of the store in time to see her screaming at the poor kid again. i really felt sorry for the poor little bugger.
then, she spied a policeman. "look!" she said, "this policeman's going to arrest you for being bad if you don't shut up, aren't you, policeman?" she asks, turning towards plod.
plod looks her up and down in a thoroughly disgusted manner. "no, i'm not." he replies. "however, i may arrest you if you threaten to hit that child one more time."
the look on that bitch's face was fucking priceless. the best thing, though, was the copper giving the kid a sly wink as he sauntered away.

Good
Really annoys me when bad parents use the police as a threat. It's basically saying:

1) The policeare scary and do whatever "grown ups" want them to do
2) I am the law. The police do what I say.

me too
hopefully, that kid now uses the police as a threat if his bitch of a mother ever tries to hit him.

Political correctness gone mad
whatever happened to parental rights? The Romans had it right: pater familias. Parents should be allowed to kill discipline their kids how they see fit until their kids are left the house earning their own way.

discipline is one thing
being a cunt to your kids and dragging others into your petty squabbles is another

When I worked in retail
I used to hate the "that lady will tell you off" line.

Now that I'm a teacher I get 'There's Mrs Entity, she'll tell you off' instead. And sometimes I do.

from some weird little girl who's convinced i used to be her music teacher.
i've never been a teacher.
