Runners Up

"I was nursing my daughter in the ladies' lounge of a high-end department store. A gaggle of teen girls came in. They used the restroom and checked out their appearances in the mirror. On the way out, they each gave me a disgusted look, and one even said, "Ewchk! That's gross. Can't you do that at home?" I quickly said, "That's rich, considering not one of you bothered to wash your hands after using the restroom. Now, that's gross!"
– Submitted by Kathie Papera

"Yes, my baby is hungry. You are welcome to wait in the restroom until we're done."
– Submitted by Brandy Carlson

"He is hungry and if you can't find what you want I have another one here just for you."

"Maybe if your mother had breastfed you, you would not be so rude!"
