It's enough to make you cry. Or cuss. Loudly and viciously.
Teenagers: boys, to be precise. Calm down, not all of them. I had two of the critters myself and they were polite, controlled, and (once I'd left all the parenting to my sweetie) a delight.
Still, after reading Jenn's take over at Breed'em and Weep about surly teenagers and thinking it a must-read, I received my own teenage encounter.
Simply put, two teenagers intentionally rammed my garbage cans and sent them flying.
I'm currently wondering why anyone who would be so impulsive, and stupid enough to do it in a cul-de-sac, in broad daylight, with an easily-identified personalized license plate should even have a drivers license.
It's possible that I could just continue to fume. Unfortunately for them, the garbage can was new, cost a small fortune, and now has an unusable wheel.
The nice me is letting the neighbors know what happened and the culprits can replace my trash can and apologize. If they choose not to cowboy up, then I'll file a report with RPD and they (and their parents) can deal with the crime report.
The evil me thinks that revenge is both fun and appropriate and plans to firmly plant a screwdriver in the sidewalls of all four Xterra tires.
But you didn't hear that from me.
This is a major new trend here too. That, and fence-ramming. Niiiiiiice.
ReplyDeletejenn's post was wonderful, wasn't it?
ReplyDeletemy theory about teenaged boys (and girls, for that matter) is that their bodies are waaaaaaaaay ahead of their brains.
and when else in life is that ever true?
good luck in dealing with the garbage goons.
