Some parents are under the mistaken belief that simply because Tarquin\Chardonnay\Damien\etc is the absolute centre of their world, then they are by default the very centre of yours too.

A while back I was visiting the Science Museum and was absolutely desperate for a whizz and in a major hurry to get to the gents. However, oblivious to the chaos they were causing, little Byron's parents thought he should - at this exact moment in time - learn how to climb the steps and open the door I was trying to get through at warp speed to prevent wet trousers.
