I think some parents these days are afraid to do this, and give their kids whatever they want to prevent them from throwing a tantrum. I learned through their example, that when I acted like that though, the only one I was embarassing was myself though  .

The same with my parents but that still didn't stop me from goofing off every now and then.
I behaved the worst at church. I threw coins and peppermints at the people in front of us. I crawled under the pews, whenever people weren't looking. I had a plethora of offering envelopes that I liked to lick the glue off (ewwww), it tasted like peppermint. Sometimes I randomly yelled "thank you Jesus!" and started dancing. Eventually my mom would grab me, take me into the church bathroom, and spank my ass. The next Sunday, I usually behaved. Then the Sunday after next, I went back to my old behavior. It was a cycle.
My folks finally put me in choir to burn off some of the energy. Well, participating in the choir must have burned too much of my energy, I was known to fall asleep in the choir stand!
I was really bad in laundromats too. Me and cousins had races with those roller baskets. We went to the soda machines to get soda, we pour them in the washers. We took tons of washing powder to stop up the toilets. At the same time, our grandpa was in the TV room watching "The Price is Right". We like never got caught.
