Ok this is my first post here, so I'll give you a bit of background:
I'm an employee of Kmart Australia, I work on registers, as customer "greeter" and in the sound and vision section - so I see a lot, and I mean it, a lot of dumb people.
I was reminded of this particular story bu this thread, the dad in question in my story should never have been allowed to take care of a child.
The dad was pushing a trolley around the store, shopping I assume, as the trolley was half-full, and he had his kid, not more than 2 years old, in the child seat - nothing wrong with that. But I kept hearing a "whirring" sound every few seconds, so i looked closer. The kid was playing with a power drill.
Yes, that's right, a power drill.
Thankfully there was no drill bit attached at the time, but the kid has one hand on the trigger of the drill, and the other almost wrapped around the rotating section at the end - I have no idea how the kid's fingers did not get mangled. And the dad did not care at all!
Now from someone who had that he'd seen everything there was to see about dumb customers, I was completely shocked at what I'd seen - luckily I was just starting my break and on the way to the tea room at the time because I needed to sit down after that.
In retrospect, I should have really let the dad have it about endangering his child like that, but at that point I really could not say a thing.
