    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 ;):D

    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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭weemcd


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,915 ✭✭✭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?''


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭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.

    Move this thread to humour, quick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 486 ✭✭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!!!

    what is it with old people these days? always disrespecting us lovely youths when we are trying not to disturb them. it never used to be like that, where's the nice old lady who gives everyone lempnade and ice creams on hot days? i miss her.

    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.

    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?
