Default He is only a kid !



I was in the T5 today , driving off the estate and there was a recovery vehicle dropping off a vehicle.

As i drove past it , i saw an arm appear from the cab window and then a crash against the side of my car .

I stopped in the middle of the road and walked towards the lorry , to the "whats wrong with you " for him then to start apologising profusely when i told him that his young kid had just thrown a spanner at my car deliberately .

Fortunately there were no marks , surprisingly , but every time he apologised , he just kept repeating " he is only a kid " I then pointed out that he was sitting in the cab with his mother and maybe she should have some control.

It was like banging yer head against a wall , but amazingly , things like this no longer shock me

Kids are utter c unts. But parents are worse. Many seem completely oblivious to the fact that their bastard shite of a child's behaviour is actually their problem.

"He's only a kid"

Fair enough he is only a kid, but if you don't control him / sort him out - how will he ever learn?

I blame the parents

Same here .

Unfortunately this is just more ( unrequired ) evidence of how society is being diluted each generation .

Fortunately my kids have avoided being exposed to these scum , albut they have both been victims to them from theft and vandalism etc

Its not going to get better folk

Is anything?

Most 'quality of life' graphs seem to have plateaued or are heading south

It wouldn't be so bad if you saw the parent administer some harsh retribution

But that doesn't happen either

Just excuses

You're lucky to get excuses; they're either defensive, or look like they're on smack all the time, only more listless.
