Kids Nowadays

Is it me or have todays kids got little or no repect for other people or their property.

Just opened the front door and here was the young lad from a few doors up climbing under my new 05 car trying to get their tennis ball back. I shouted at him to get the f&^* away from it. He said I am only getting my ball back. I told him if he wanted it back in future to ask for it that he was on private property. He looked at me as if I had 2 heads. When I was growing up it was bred into me to ask if I wanted to go into someone elses property.

He was just getting his ball back, congratulations, you are now the asshole in number whatever. If this is the most disrespectful thing kids have done to you count yourself lucky. And i like the way ya dropped the ''my new 05 car'' into it too

He was only getting his ball back. It's not like he was smashing up your "new 05 car". :rolleyes:

When I first clicked on the thread I thought you had a good excuse for complaining...personally if my ball went under your car I would have retrieved myself and told you to p*ss off if you got serious with me.

He was just getting his ball back. If he didn't do any damage does it matter.
Unless you have a high wall and electronic gates surrounding your house I don't think the kid needed to ask your permission to get his ball back. I know its private proerty and all that but come its just a kid. Unless you live in a rough area or place where damage to private property is a regular occurence then I wouldn't be too worried.

I think you really just wanted to tell us about your new car

Buttmunchy

He's just a kid! God! Yeah I agree how appropriate it was the way you just dropped in "my new 05 car" when it didn't need to be put there. :P

RuggieBear

it's you i'm afraid....he was just getting his ball back and you've sworn at a kid. Well done

weemcd

jesus, your dead on, dont be so uptight ffs like, what did he actually do to your precious 0-fukin-5 car?

StupidLikeAFox

and i bet if he had gone and knocked on your door to ask you'd be like ''this pesky kid brought me away from my plasma screen television with surround sound system and my leather couches imported from india jus to ask could he get his ball from under my new 05 car? what are the kids like these days?''

Fobia

The question is a valid one but the example given aint. He was just getting a tennis ball from under your car fs. You tell him to ask yet, tbh, which would you find more annoying: kids getting their tennis ball from under your car or kids knocking on your door every five minutes to ask if they can get their tennis ball from under your car?

If he was clearly doing no damage then you are the person who should be complained about (as you probably are right now ).

Fobia.

NotMe

Move this thread to humour, quick.

blondie83

The kid was just getting his ball back, what are you so uptight about? I can't believe you actually swore at a child though...what was that you were saying about manners?

Nuphor

This sort of anti-social behaviour needs to be stamped out. It's outrageous! :mad:

Yes, and quite frankly you're an @sshole if you're so mean and big-headed that you shouted obscenities at a child just because he tried to get his ball back from under your car. It's not as if he was trying to break into it or damage it! Also, don't be too surprised if you wake up in the morning and a group of kids have gone at your "new 05 car's" paintwork with nails or something. You're going to make children hate you if this is how you treat them, and kids do know how to got their own back!!!

I know who should be expecting their nice new 05 car to get an egging really soon

Kids have always been like that btw.

i'm also overcome with an urge to smash up some 05 cars. what colour is it? theres only like 2new cars, so i can guess which one it is.

Hopefully next time he puts the tennis ball up the exhaust.

Does reading Kida's original post remind anyone of the kid catcher?


P.S. If I were that kid I would have left a fresh turd on your bonnet.

Linkdude

wth is wrong with you? Wow, your precious '05 car could've been damaged by some innocent little child climbing under it and ust trying to get his tennis ball back. You deserve to be direspected. Wow, you really had to mention it was an '05 car, and it meant the World to you. I'm quite Young (13). And if me or any of my friends got yelled at for that, then Jesus,we'd all get back at you. Sure, kids are disrepectful nowadays. But Adults are also disrespectful to children. And for Jesus sake, why should you car about it being an '05 car. It's just for getting you from point A to B and back. Do you want it to be perfect so that you may "pick up some chicks". Which would you rather have, some child knocking on your door asking for their Tennis Ball and interupting what you were doing, or letting them take care of it themselves, with no harm done? Well? Which?

Well this is some flaming,maybe original poster got it wrong when he seen a kid at the car.Some people who have a new car get edgy when they first get it.And becasue it was brand new probably made poster go into a frenzy when he seen the young lad getting the tennis ball/near it.Its obvious from some of you that you dont even own a car or had a new one.

What he was doing? He was obviously watching out in case some inconsiderate little bastards mis hit a ball under his precious car. Lucky for that!

Yeah, God be with the days when you could give them a swift clip around the ear and send them to the Parish Priest for a seeing too...

....oh, you're filthy minded!

If it was my kid and you spoke like that to him/her you would have more to worry about than an 05 car

Phil_321

That post completely shows you up for what you are: an ignorant, materialistic, bullying prick.
Good luck with you "new 05 car".

DublinWriter

Actually, wait, I'm noticing the phrase 'New 05 Car' pop up a lot in the postings against the original poster.

We're a nation of begrudgers after all. The original poster should have said 'my 15 year old Micra' if he wanted sympathy.

Chucky the tree

he should of just said his car, but the tosser wanted to show off.

Hopefully the kid will petrol bomb it.

I think thats going a little bit overboard. Smearing fecies all over the windows and bonnet is much more reasonable

embee

Ah now lads, he has a point.

One minute its fetching tennis balls from under cars, the next that young fella will be injecting babies with heroin.

And then those heroin babies will grow up and stab our original poster or worse - slash his BRAND NEW CARS TYRES. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Original poster, get a grip.

Jesus, there's a lot of begrudery in this thread with everyone making such a big deal about the "new 05 car". If you lot are ever in a position to own a decent car you won't want little bollixes anywhere near it, let alone hitting tennis balls near it. It's quite possible to put a dent in a car with a tennis ball.

Original poster was right to shout at the kid if the kid just waltzed onto his property and started poking around under the car. The kid will have gotten the message that next time he has to retrieve a ball, he has to ASK first.

If you don't insist on asking, what often happens then is the kids start to regard your garden as public property and an extension to their play area and think they can come in and out whenever they please. Balls will come flying into your garden every 5 minutes and kids may even start playing tennis/football IN your garden.

Also, this business about the kids taking "revenge" by scratching the car or slashing tyres completely proves the OPs point about kids having no respect for other people's property.

If you think they are bad today, spare a thought for the future. Can you imagine what their children are going to be like, and God forbid their childrens' children (if the world lasts that long in their hands!!). Ah, God be with the good ole days.When kids would have the manners to call you sir and not by your first name, when they would sit quietly in church without fidgeting and when they would clear the plate at dinner-time, eating all their greens.

Socrates Greek philosopher in Athens (469 BC - 399 BC)
Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.

I can semi empathise with the original poster but I think he needs to think about proportional response based on the severity of the incident and the age of the child.

Take for instance last year. I had just collected my new '04 car and driven home from the dealership. I pulled up outside my house, parked and went inside. Just as I was closing the hall door I heard a bang and turned around to find that a neighbours kid had just driven into the back of the car on his bike. ARRRGGGHHH!! I've only owned it for 1 hour FFS!! The kid is about 7. I ran back out, made sure the kid was ok and then told the little **** to ****ing go back home to his ****ing mother......:D KIDDING!! I calmly explained to him that he should be more careful on his bike because he could hurt himself. I then extricated the bike from under the car and sent him on his way. Kids of that age just don't know any better. As much as I wanted to cry having the back of my 1 hour old new car scratched you just have to grin and bear it. Such is life.

Proportional Response

Two lads of 13 or 14 were outside hitting a slioter up and down the road with their hurleys. One positioned in front of my car. As you can imagine a slioter can do a lot more damage than a tennis ball. It was the first sliotar impact with the car that caught my attention. As much as I was concerned for my new car I said to myself, that I didn't want to be the 'grumpy old man from up the road'. The second time they hit the car I was "oh FFS!". The third time when they started playing hurley stick sword fight in front of the car and one pushed the other onto the bonnet, I had had enough and ran out. Once was an accident, twice was carelessness, third rolling across my bonnet was undeniably, total lack of respect for other peoples property.
Told them to cop themselves on and play hurley on the green 50 yards down the road.

Expletives were only used when I was asked what my ****ing problem was. "My ****ing problem are you two eejits having zero respect for other peoples property. How the **** would your dad feel if you jumped on his bonnet and he knows you?? Can you imagine how I feel having you two rolling around on the bonnet of my new car and you aren't even my kids, I don't even know you. "I suppose".........no revenge attacks as yet.

Proportional Response.

They were old enough to know what they were doing was wrong and were old enough to be told to....."get the **** orrfff my land!!"

The original poster should not have sweared no matter what the kid was doing if the kid was younger then about 10, just explained what he was doing was wrong and why it was wrong and not to do it again. Above that age and the level of expletives warranted would depend on the severity of the automotive abuse. ie abuse only after retrieving a ball from under the car after say the 5th time in as many minutes which must have involved at least belt buckles scratching the lower panels or hurleys/tennis rackets being swung wildly under the car to retrieve the ball. If the little ****ers were climbing over the car then swear away. They should know better at that age.

"In my day" :D:D it was only the little skangers that treated other peoples property with no respect and then gave you expletive laden lip back when you told them off. Nowadays its nearly every kid regardless of background.

"Kids these days"!!

Sorry but hitting a slioter infront of your car is a no no for me, it was carelessness doing it in front in first place as a green only up the road,hitting it once and saying nothing is a BIG no no for me as well,if they hit it once obviously they were going to hit it again.

Kids key!!! :rolleyes:
