The Unsettler
|
I hate teenagers.
Having a pretty stressful week.
Company not doing well, rumors of layoffs. Not getting any sleep, bizarre dreams involving the co-chairman, golf clubs and oddly enough my father who was hired as a consultant to help with the layoffs. Got a phone call about an interview for a great position, they wanted to see me on Friday. Do my research, make lots of notes for the interview. Come home Thursday night pretty stressed and realize I left my notes in the office so now I'm pissed at myself because I'll loose an hour of prep time making the round trip to the office and back. Almost back home and the wife calls, can I stop at the bank and get her some money so she can tip the daughters camp counselers. Don't want to waste another minute but grudgingly agree. Pull up across the street from the bank, park, start to close the drivers window but screw it, it's right across the street and I can see the car plain as day from the bank, what could possibly happen. Go in and while waiting for the cash to come out I look out at my car, SUV cruises slowly past as if they were rolling up to the light on the corner. Grab cash and head back across the street, total time 1 minute max. As I get closer to the car I realize something is all over the driver side of the car. Friggin kids in the SUV threw eggs at my car. All over the outside, eggshell everywhere inside the car, windshield on the inside is covered. Had to pay the guy in the pizza shop $1 for a roll of paper towels to clean it up enough to get in and drive home. I should be sitting on my couch prepping for the interview and instead I'm outside at 9:30 at night washing the car. If I don't get the job I'm gonna make it my life goal to find these kids and make things right. Scott

This is why even though Ohio just passed a concealed weapon law I don't have one.

Alright....

Once a week for 4 months... Kids egged our cars in our subdivision. Finally, a cop wised up and followed the egged cars until it stopped. The teens hung out at the last house where the trail of eggs stopped. It stopped after some stiff warnings.
I feel you!

that SUX!
can't believe people still do that crap. when I was a teenager one of my friends used to brag about throwing half-open packets of mayo and ketchup at on-comming traffic to see them explode upon impact. also don't feel too bad, could have been real damage....a bunch of drunks one night (the one time I parked on the street instead of the garage, of course) decided to jump all over my car denting the hood/roof/trunk.....body work total was $2400! ![]() actually it suprises me that it was random....usually it's for a reason....someone they know, or something you did.....if I were you I would probably have sat right in the eggshells and tailed them while dialing the police.....but you sounded at the end of your rope by then.... hope the car cleaned up ok and good luck with the interview.....

On that note. NEVER have touched another car. Worst is the key thing. Life in prison would be easier then what I would do to someone if I caught them key'n my car.

I got egged once and it broke the paint. Hope you just got dirty and no damage in or out. Maybe we should all have track video cams and leave them in full time. The kids are so stupid they wouldn't think to look and see if the red record light was on. Only trouble is, which way to aim it. |

YOu live in a small town, right? Keep your eyes open. Report the description to the cops - maybe a friendly cop will run it on the computer.

Im 19, but I hate teenagers. I own a 99 audi and a 70 911, but everyone (teenagers) thinks my parents must have bught the cars for me
![]() Ive saved my money but am subjected to this **** alot. My audi got backed into in an almost empty parking lot with no cars around me THE DAY after I bought it. The person just hit my car and took off, it had to be intentional. Then about a month or two ago, I noticed that someone ripped the OEM air diffuser off my windshield wiper. I used to have a lifted expedition when I was in highschool and almost every day Id come to the parking lot to find something new done to my car. At one party, someone bashed my foglights, and that was the last straw. I went around with a baseball bat looking for the ******* who did it. I never found the guy, but it scared the **** out of everyone else and after that, no one from my highschool ever messed with any of my cars. Bottom line, teenagers are jealous, and dont care about the property of others. This is one of my reasons for being so paranoid about ever using a porsche as a daily driver. Also there are adults who are unable to afford nicer things and are bitter towards those who can afford nice things; these are most likely the people who spawn the teenagers who we hate so much. Oh I just remembered, about a week ago, after getting into my car to leave from the movies, I hear glass bottles under my car. Apparently, some jackasses decided to have a few drinks before the movie, and didnt have anywhere to stash their bottles, so why not under my Audi! ![]() One day Ill catch one of these *******s and no, I wont beat him up, wounds heal. Ill press every damn charge possible and I'll have the best group of lawyers send him to jail to be some big man's "friend." ![]() |

That is screwed Scott. My car got egged in front of my house last fall in broad daylight. I think it was one of my teenage daughters freinds. I had it parked in the street for only an hour & then went out & moved it into the driveway. It was on the passengers side & I didn't notice it till the next day, but it came off OK. I moved to a nicer neighborhood & now have a garage with a door opener, so the car is always in the garage. I hate parking my car & leaving it.

Oh and I almost forgot another story...
My neighbor left her 87 911 in the school parking lot (in highschool) overnight, and the next morning the car was egged. I just dont understand why they go through the trouble to cause someone a headache. You'd think these kids would have better things to do other than deface the property of others. |

I know this is going to sound immature, but one time we saw a big group of 16 or so year olds in hondas, probably 10 - 15 of them, driving around in a big pack throwing eggs out of the windows at cars and houses (including ours). We followed them to a house in a large neighborhood where they were having a big party. We waited for a while for them to start really drinking, went to the store, bought 5 dozen eggs, and drove down the line egging every single one of the cars we saw throwing eggs. You know how thouse cars tend to have the alarms tuned so sensitive that they go off when a bus goes by? Well, every alarm in that place went off, all the underage drunk kids came running out, and then about 5 cop cars pulled up because the neighbors called the cops to complain about the alarms going off. We hid and laughed.
I know, that's not what a mature adult should have done, but man was it funny.
