That Makes me Feel Better

There is a kid who’s just a bad kid all around. He needs an attitude adjustment badly.

So, they’re throwing baseballs, and I finally just had enough. I told him off for it.

Told him flat out that if he breaks my window I was going to break him.

Weird, but best part, the other kids were standing up with me, saying that he needed to stop, or he was going to get his family evicted.

Then, I have a neighbor walk up to me and thank me, for saying it. Said that she’s forever out there telling them to stop throwing rocks and things because they’re going to break something.

Ugh! Lack of parenting is quite apparent.

The kids in my neighborhood are fucking loud as hell. They kick soccer balls around in the parking lot and hit cars and doors and windows and just scream all the time. It's so god damned rude, because their parents just don't care. On one hand I suppose I prefer them to be outside playing than cooped up inside all the time or off doing stupid shit, but mostly I want them to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter how many times we yell at them. Keeps happening.

Are you sure you don't live in my complex? My neighbor was telling me the same thing, except it's rocks, not soccer balls :(

Seriously. ;__; Apparently kids are assholes everywhere. The real kicker is that one of the kids did some serious damage to my neighbor's car and she called the police. The kid is now on PROBATION and still...kicking the damn ball.

Ugh! Seriously? That's just majorly fucked up!

Yeah. Originally the mother was going to pay for the damage and no one was going to get into trouble, but then she kept refusing and the police were called. The police officer was like, "Uhhh, do you really want your kid to have to go through court for this?" and the mom goes, "I don't fucking care, whatever, I'm not paying!" sooo. Yeah. Probation. It was considered a felony because it was over $500 of damage.

$500 worth of damage :O
That's like a whole quarter panel, plus a window replacement, based on my own accident estimates :O
