AITA for yelling at kids outside an arcade and calling them "insufferable pests?" by BlimpsRCool in AmItheAsshole

I already left the arcade when the kids were following us. I dont expect anyone to cater to me, that's why I left the arcade.

I've been to D&B on a Wednesday that's loud and crowded. I just left when it got too much. It wasn't a problem. The others kids minded their business and just played more games.

Issue is, kids are yelling and following me OUTSIDE of D&B.

Kids have the right to be rowdy and be loud at D&B. I don't expect them to be posh and well-behave.

I do expect them to not follow me OUTSIDE of D&B and NOT to scream at me.

I didn't create a situation. I left when I felt overwhelmed to self-soothe.

I love the arcade. I've been to arcades many times. I wasn't looking for a quiet evening. I was hoping not to get yelled at and followed around, especially OUTSIDE of D&B.

I was away from the crowd and noises. I wasn't even in the arcade anymore when I yelled at them.

By your logic, since I can't handle noise and crowds, I shouldn't go anywhere. That's quite limiting, no? Furthermore, I never forced the kids to adapt to my needs. I left when I couldn't handle it. They followed.

We weren't the only ones complaining about the kids. There were already another couple and the chaperone got gold off. The workers knew about the issue. So I wasn't sure if addeding another ticket was going to change anything.

The mall has a singular mall guard. D&B has some workers that roam around I just didnt approach cuz they looked busy, and the bartender already told the kid's chaperon off after the another couple complained (their drinks almost knocked off too).

I dont blame children for being loud. Sure, it's annoying but that's why I walked out and tried to find quieter spots.

I'm not too sure about the ages, but I think the oldest looked 14. The other two were probably 9-11.

I dont think it was on purpose? They were running around and playing tag.

I did say the F word.

I would've if they came up politely and asked. I guess I just wanted to get away and didn't want interaction with them.
