perhaps but there also needs to be some context around this statement.
how long have they been "irritating" people. If my kids a running around a restaurant (mine DO NOT - they have been pulled out of restaurants before so they now know better) and the parents aren't making an attempt then ok go for it.
on the other side, maybe you just sat down at a restaurant and the children were perfect for 1.5 hours for dinner and the waitress is slow picking up plates and bringing the check.
I find alot of people are easily irritated by other peoples children, you have to give them a chance to misbehave a little they are kids anbd don't appreciate the nuances of behavior that most of society expects.
There are so many variables involved with circumstances around kids behavior that unless tehy are being vulgar and distructive most of the time they are just being kids.
