Lude Generation

Exactly that?!?! When is it acceptable to punch a child in the face?

Returning home from work today, driving up the back lane and battling my way past the 'I don't care if you run me over' attitude children (say between 9 and 12 years old). Parked the car and could see them way up the lane... Them being 6 or 7 arrogant kids. Went into the house and could see an arm pointing down the lane past the Lude.

I knew they were dodgy so ran up the garden to the gate and looked out but they were gone and the car was fine. Came in the house, upstairs and had a chat with Greeny and my sister. Any way 30 mins pass and Liam leaves to see his accountant. As I am about to get in the bath Liam calls and says "bloody hell babe, where do you park the Lude at work?"

Usual place I tell him. "Why?"

"Because the stickers been ripped off the windscreen"
I ran up to the car... Not only have they tried, but failed, to pinch one of the stickers, the little b*%#ards have left their dirty footprints over the car... Front to back... Up over the windscreen....

What is the matter with kids today? How disrespectful can they be?!

So again... When is acceptable to punch a child in the face!!!!???









Seething!!

Little buggers I hate little jobbies like that with a passion

I just don't get it. There is no respect for anyone or their property. I would never have dreamed of doing this to someone else's property when I was a child. And god forbid my parents found out. Id have been black and blue!

A good slap probably constitutes helpful guidance and childcare in this context.

By an angry stranger who's had their car stomped all over?

I can bet the parents won't give two hoots. That's society today...

That's exactly it, the parents don't care what their kids do. But heaven forbid their kids get their just deserts from someone else!

I used to get kids running through my garden. It really ground on me... Until I started catching them. I tell you, there's a reason they wear hoodies... They're easy to catch!

For each one I caught they never came back, so it does go to show they're cowards when confronted.

Would you recognise them again if you saw them?

With parents, like a lot of them have, it's no wonder really. They think it's acceptable to damage property and swear at people.

Of yes I'd recognise them and I've no doubt they will be back. I've got a feeling the group was made up of some of the new kids who moved in up the road. Next time I'll have them!

I have a dent in my roof where some little rhubarb ran over mine

I would have located the little turds and left foot prints all over their smug little faces

If we ever have kids and I ever find out they've done anything like this I'm telling you they wont see the light of day for a very long time... And yes I'd march them straight round to apologise and shame their disrespectful little asses!
