YES... my father would have kicked my butt if I had acted in a disruptive manner in public.

Same here. My parents didn't tolerate us being disruptive in public.

I remeber once when I was a kid, I was goofing off. My dad took my outside and told me if I said one more word in the resturant he was going to stick his cowboy boot up my a$$. My dad didn't make empty threats, I shut my mouth for the rest of dinner and never acted up again.
