What bothers me the most about some parents is the "not my child" attitude. Or making excuses for their behavior... "well, Johnny threw the chair at you today because he didn't have breakfast." WHAT!? Really? ok...

Oh, oh, oh, yes! I get that kind of thing all the time! I teach in a pretty affluent school and they just can't believe that their kid might not be perfect!
My latest fav: "He was swinging on the bathroom doors and climbing on the toilets because he's enrolled in gymnastics!"

A restaurant in San Jose called Aqui, makes awesome sangria swirled margaritas. I prefer the pint size over the small size.

Got two faves, but can only mention one:
I had a child copy off another (could tell because he never passed spelling tests and had the same answers that the kid next to him did, COMPLETE with spelling errors!). I told the parent and said I wanted them to take the test over by themselves, but the reply was, "Well, in MY day, we had to be CAUGHT cheating!"
And I thought, "No you DIDN'T! You're as old as I am and in MY day, all the teacher had to do was THINK you were cheating and they came by, took the paper, tore it up and gave you a ZERO!"
