Kids these days

What makes them believe it's acceptable to be complete shite-heads, eh?

So I'm out walking my dog, giving her a run on the field when two 11 year old girls walk by. They wait until they're a reasonable distance away before shouting abuse at me. Apparently they were annoyed because I had eaten all their pies. Fair enough, this instance is just a case of mistaken identity, but if someone had eaten all my pies I wouldn't shout at them, I would go up and ask them what possessed that person to consume my savory treats, and whether they would mind reimbursing me for the cost of said pies. If that person calmly explained to me that I was indeed mistaken, I would apologise and be on my way.

I also fear that children's conclusion-jumping skills are failing these days. There's a young vocal chappy who lives on the council estate that occasionally have to walk down. Again, rather than privately passing on his opinion personally he obviously wanted to give his chords a work-out and shout from down the street. Now, I wouldn't particularly mind being accused of being a "homo-queer-faghead" if I had any reason to believe he was basing these accusations on anything other than I was wearing a pink T-shirt at the time. Perhaps if he had seen me having sex with a man, or indeed just enjoying a friendly blowjob down the side alley, I wouldn't have been quite as annoyed.

Anyway, thoughts on why kids these days behave as such? And do you have any stories you'd like to share?

Bunch of little tossers, if you ask me.

I like pies.

ADDENDUM: I'm sure none of us can claim to be entirely innocent when we were children. Apart from KP, who is still a child, and doesn't get out enough to be any bother.

Once-a-year behavioural exam in school.

Fail -> castration.

The problem will solve itself in a mere generation.

kids are just a subject of their enviornment though, i bet if you get most of these peoples families more active, i.e. spending time together and eating together half of the trouble wouldn't even be present today.

Just to let you know, they're not all like that.

Most are alright.

A charming young lad once threw a massive bit of tree at me when I was walking to the pub once. The cheeky scamp! I walked over to him, ruffled his hair, shook my fist at him in a "whyyy I oughtaaaa!" style, then booted his football(dog) over about 7 gardens(under the number 7 bus).

Fantastic Doug.

This thread needs more stories of your own. And yes, i realise a lot of kids are great these days, but unfortunately you don't notice them. And I was fine as a youngster. I'd never go up to a 20 year old and start insulting them, for instance.

Sometimes I get the odd abuse from some kids asking me to slit my eyes or something or get a haircut because I look like a scruffy ****. But it doesn't bother me not unless they went up to me to have a go at pelting me with stones or something like that one time. I hate violent kids, I don't care what their mouths do unless its spitting which happened a few months aback. They liked my scarf though and they carefully aimed their spit around my Naruto book to avoid me getting to angry.

I've never been keen on kids, even less so since I started working in the children's library. I'm fine if they keep out of my way or are polite. It's the ones that come in when they're supposed to be at school, or try to ask me something while I'm serving someone else, or get all hard done to 'cos I want let them have a computer.

One polite individual came up to my desk and with a smug grin on his face and asked me if I was gay (about the time I turned off his computer). I almost told him to ask his mum but didn't think that was very professional. The question doesn't particularly bother me but I had him thrown out of the library. We got one teenager banned from the library for abusive language, threatening other library users and threatening to beat up staff. The local authority being as it is, only banned him for 6 months. We also have a delightful 4 year old come in with his extended family (see the two examples above) who is a complete racist.

Working down there you get to see the worst in children.

Some right tits come into Tesco. Freshly 18 and with a "im going to make a funny joke" smug look on his face he walks up to me with his mates and asks where the beer is (it's right behind me). I indicate so, and he goes "thanks mate, you know... you look a bit like my sister" (i had long hair at the time) "you should get a strawberry floating haircut ya ******".

I also live on the same road as a school which is a bit of a pain in the arse to say the least. Anyway i was walking home one day, reached my street and saw some little gooseberry fool throwing stones at my cat. I went strawberry floating mental at him, and if it wasnt for the fact he was about 12 or 13 i would have hit him. What kind of child throws stones at a cat ffs :evil:

There's a few (4-5) 8 year olds who piss about outside my house. I spotted my cat outside once not long after we let him go outside so he was pretty young, he came down to the kids and they started to fuss him, Awww I think and head up stairs, on the way up I see them moving away from him then when I look out the window the strawberry floating bastards kicked a leather ball right at his face when we went to get some fuss. I went out to get my now confused cat and one said "Let's kick it". strawberry floating dickheads, if weren't new to the street and they weren't 8 I would yelled a bit but I just walked out and got the cat from under our van. Seriously, their parents don't keep and eye on them.

I've seen them pissing on their gardens as well.

I went out with my headphones in one day (nothing on yet) and whilst I was locking up they were sitting on their drive yelling their new words (Boobs, Sex, Penis, occasionally strawberry float if they whispered) at me thinking I couldn't hear them.

They kick their ball over our fence every 5 minutes (Literally) some days when they play against our fence. One of them has tried to jump the fence before.

They're from well off, nice families that we've spoken too in a nice neighbourhood as well.

Kids get on my nerves. I remember last year a few of them started shouting at me and my mate while he was driving. He done an emergency stop then we chased them up the street.

Did the ones hiding round the corner steal your car once you got out?

Dodems, if their ball came over in my garden it'd boot it into the sun, well, you know, far as possible.

Nah I doubt their feet could've reached the pedals.
