 >:(I've been sitting here with my fingers on the keyboard for about 5 minutes trying to put into words EXACTLY what I'm thinking. Pissed off, angry, disgusted .... Last night my husband and I were coming home from a late night movie..(about 11:30pm) and driving on the interstate, so we were doing about 70mph. Something hits us and leaves a smear on our windshield and hood. First thing we figure, it was an animal, but it's a splatter pattern on the passenger side on the windshield and it didn't look right. I search for my flashlight to light up the splatter afraid that I'm gonna see gore. What do I see? SOME FUCKING KID HIT US WITH A PAINT BALL!!!!!! Not only were we pissed that they hit us, they hit us while doing 70 mph on an interstate, & we have an expensive convertible (top was up at the time thankfully)!!! Thankfully they hit my side so he could still drive! We found a cop that had pulled a car over so we stopped behind them turned off our lights and waited. The cop was nice and called it in to have the local city cops check that neighborhood. Fucking problem is, you know damn well they won't be able to find the little fuckers and if they do, the cops won't be able to do much about it. We took pictures of the hit and thankfully it didn't do any damage. Our friends who were following behind us who have a BMW didn't get hit and they told us that some kids are putting other stuff into paint ball type pellets, stuff like egg, turpintine etc, so we should be quick and get that off the paint job. What the hell is wrong with our society?!?!?! This is the second time my little car got hit. Three months after we got her, she was egged in a parking lot. The egg DID do damage even though it was winter and was only on the car for maybe 2 hours - I was at a car wash at 2am that night. It left etching into the clear coat. I swear I understand now why God didn't grace me with children. I believe in a firm spanking on the arse. You only have to spank once or twice and a little child who felt it through their diapers will understand what it means and you won't have to spank them again. I'm not talking of wailing away on them either. I was spanked and all my firends were and strangely enough, we knew right from wrong and grew up with a conscious! Don't kids today have any frickin common sense? Maybe we can't spank, but aren't they taught right and wrong? Don't they know that shooting something at a car going 70mph could result in a very bad accident? If the top was down or my window open and we were just a little faster, that paint ball would have hit me in the head or my husband and would have covered the interior of the car. This kind of crap just infuritates me to no end!!! This past spring we were finding lava rocks all over the front of our house, in the yard, steps, under the windows. Obviously we were the target of some kids with nothing to do and no sense of wrong or right. Now the car was hit twice.... we have an Audi TT Roadster and it was quite a stretch for us to get it. We aren't poor, but we aren't rich either. To have something nice like that and have kids mess with it..... ARGH!!!! Ggggrrrrrrr!!!!! Midnight I'm washing the car thinking of 15 ways to pummel the little bastards.

Don't blame you a bit....I'd be pissed too. I was frightened on the highway one night when some butthole next to me kept pointing his red laser light at my dashboard--scared the bejesus out of me--am I in the site of his rifle? Geesh!
Research shows that the human brain under the age of 28 hasn't fully developed enough for many humans to be able to see and understand the consequences of their actions.
What's pissing me off today are the buttholes who insist on beeping their horns for the folks they are picking up...naturally ALWAYS disturbing me since I've had my windows open all summer (no A/C for this sweaty gal on purpose!).
Not only are cell phones ubiquitious ('cept for me, of course) and could be used to call the person to say that "I'm here; come out, moron!" but I was raised to understand that gentile folks do not beep for one another--they get out of their freakin' car and knock on the door.
My father would never have left me leave the house if someone had the gall to beep for me to come out. If I'm dressed and they beep, I walk out there and ask if I can help them--always frightenening when a stranger walks up to their car. Then I tell them that my sick child/mother/whatever is trying to sleep and not to beep their horn in the morning/afternoon/evening/whatever. Being Italian, I'm a firm believer in instilling guilt when possible.

And another thing! What's with all the buttholes who refuse to move out of the way on the moving sidewalks in airports? We're walking, we're walking.....

Oh my friends have that every day. Their lovely neighbor beeps their horn to say good-bye to their dog! I believe this happens at 7-7:30am M-F. I would have been out there right away to explain that their dog doesn't give a shit if they leave because they are all ready back to sleep on their bed!
Cell phones and cars..... that is a huge topic right there. Or small kids with cell phones - I'm talking 10 year olds. Having one so the parents get call them home... sure, but they shouldn't be anywhere that yelling out the front of their door or a quick call to the parent of the other house won't do. Oh Oh OH and ALSO the woman or teenager that talks the whole time they are shopping!!! For Godsake, invite that person with you and shop together!!! I may call to ask a quick question "what size does dad wear?' "Do we need eggs?', but nothing of an hour conversation!!

Does this give us who are over 28, permission to slap all those younger on the back of the head? Sheesh... even in the animal kingdom, the young get a nip on the ear once in awhile. |

ABSOFUCKINLUTELY... You can bet your ass that the parents were at home vegin in front of the tube, dad scratching his balls, and mom scratchin... well never mind. We get what we deserve as a society, and in my neighborhood growing up, the neighbors did as much parenting as parents did, even if it was just to threaten that tthey would inform our parents (that threat alone worked well on me). With the paint ball and the laser, theres not a hell of a lot you can do. Unfortunately, science showed a long time ago that you put enough rats in a small enough box for a long enough time, all hell will break out eventually. Humans should be better than that... but I dont think thats the way we are headed. (Your story reminds me of why they put up the high fences on freeway overpasses in Detroit when I was a kid... some assholes thought that it would be interesting to see what happened when you drop a bowling ball onto the freeway, unfortunately a car got in the way at 70mph... you can figure out the results).

The high fence barriers...... crazy thing is that most of the highway has those noise proofing huge walls. This one section didn't and I have the creepy feeling that the shithead was in the ditch area anyway. I was going to drive that area during the day and see how many neon green/yellow splotches are littering the highway in the area. I can't be the only car that got hit.
Edited to add that my language and halo both get tossed out the window when I'm mad. No offense if my verbal bantering is hurting your eyes.

Man, I feel your pain! They are little bastards and you never know. . . they are so stupid they bound to do it again, and hopefully they will get caught!
We had our car egged at Partymon's house at Halloween. Three weeks after we bought the Audi A6. Ouch. It's a painful thing.
Poor Steve, you could tell he felt bad. The funniest part was he said, "I didn't think we lived in that kind of neighborhood." It makes me laugh still hearing him say that!
It's a good thing they didn't hit the driver's window dead on...you guys could have really been hurt!

One upon a time, you could spank kids.
LIB'RUL LUNACY did away with that, and we've paid HELL for it ever since!

And another thing! What's with all the buttholes who refuse to move out of the way on the moving sidewalks in airports? We're walking, we're walking..... This is one of my pet hates!! Firstly, the moving walkway is designed to get you through the airport FASTER, but it actually moves slower than walking pace so if you stand still it takes longer to get where you're going. Secondly, if these people must stand still don't block the entire walkway you fucking morons!! Simon |
