Do people actually think "somebody tranq that child" or do parents with publicly misbehaving children just feel like they are?

Like, I'm a bit annoyed when there's a crying baby on my bus or something, but I'm annoyed at being caught in that circumstance, not at either the parent or the child.

Yes.

But I'm a jackass and hate loud noises.

If crying babies were not annoying, we'd be in big trouble. Nonetheless I appreciate parents who mitigate the effect by moving their child, tending to needs, etc.

Loud phone conversation and sodcasting however...

Human history undoubtedly abounds with instances of youth (or others) claiming public space while irritating elders and authority figures, but loud videos on a phone are a portal to the inferno.
