Big Country Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Near our house, there is a section of the road that they had been doing some road work on, but obviously hadn't been yesterday. When we had left, all of the traffic cones were along the shoulder of the road. Fast forward to last night, and as we are driving home, the cones are toppled over into the middle of the lanes, etc. First thing out of my mouth "Dam kids". As soon as I say it, I look at my wife and ask her if I really said that... then say.. Oh No, I've become that guy. So, anyone else ever become "That guy" that they always said they wouldn't be.

The Holy Roller Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Dam kids. Shut the door, we're not (heating/cooling) the whole neighborhood. Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Get out of the refrigerator, you just ate an hour ago. The answer is NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 i find myself slowly becoming "that guy" who looks disapprovingly at teenage girls who dress slutty. Thank god I am not athere yet.... so long as they are 18 and 19 of course. Under that and yeah, it is a little unnerving what some of these kids wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 i find myself slowly becoming "that guy" who looks disapprovingly at teenage girls who dress slutty. Don;t get me wrong, I enjoy the 18, 19 year olds dressed like that... but I have seen girls as young as 10, 11, 12 dressed like that...makes me want to smack their parents around...

rajncajn Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Last night I was at Walmart and passed by an aisle that had a small group of teenage boys talking. I couldn't, or didn't really listen to what they were saying but I could tell they were trying to act like a bunch of bad asses. One of them was saying something to the effect that he'd punked some other kid down...then I hear this unmistakable klink-klink-klink-klink, kilnk-klink-klink-klink so I decided to walk back by the aisle. Sure enough, out of the corner of my eye I see one of the kids showing his buddies a butterfly knife. All I could think was "buncha dumbass punk kids." I didn't go run & tell the manager, but I did narc the kid out to the next male employee I saw. Edited July 6, 2007 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 When I was a kid, I would've stolen the cones, not just knocked them down. Danged pansy kids today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a fond memory of me & a buddy running down the street with one of these so we could steal the light off it. My buddy kept it in his room, but soon threw it out because it was keeping him up at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Related note: a friend's wife teaches in LAUSD and has seen kids as young as 1st grade (!!) performing (or trying to perform) oral sex on each other before school. This goes way beyond the 'playing doctor' we used to talk about - and occasionally play - as kids. This is why I pay the $ for my kids to attend private school. Not that there any guarantess with that, but I do sleep better at night.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) I remeber smiling ear to ear the first time I heard my kids say "Are we there yet ?" from the back seat.. Everytime after that it became less and less cute..I unfortunately dont have the radar like precision my mom had with her uncanny ability to drive and strike us in the backseat with pinpoint accuracy Edited July 6, 2007 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) the other day i was "that guy" who yells futilely at the neighbor kids as they run away terrified to safety. this little bish (probably 10 or 11 years old) was walking her greyhound and it took a big dump in my lawn, which i saw out of the corner of my eye, couldn't tell for sure if it was pee or a deuce, so i came out and yelled at her in my scariest grumpy old neighbor voice..."hey! hey! did your dog just poop in my yard?" "no, she just went potty.." as the sneaky little wench hurried on her way down the street. i go out and check and sho' nuff, big ol' f'n greyhound dump, so i yell at her again but this time she's far enough down the street that she trots off and ducks into her house. i've been plotting my revenge ever since...
