people these days.

Usually i don't mention anything daily life related on the forums because i don't wanna seem like a geek and his blog. But yesterday was just a bad day and i thought id mention it to see if any of you have stuff like this happen.

Thursday, just yesterday. Already got in trouble early in senior year for pulling a prank on my friends car and the school made me wright a apology letter to staff and sign a probationary contract. Don't get me wrong I'm not a bad student i happen to love the school I'm just a little mischievous. What really got me is the 6 1/2, 7 foot older monopoly looking guy coming across the street and telling me if i touch his truck (next lot to my friends in the parking lot at least 1-3 meters) we were gonna have some trouble. I said as friendly as i could "naw don't worry IL be sure not to". And by then we were already done. But he said with anger "well look what your !#%@ doing" and walked off. My friend told me "wow hes being a *@#$" and i didn't respond. So the guy walked into the office and reported me.  

Later that day less than 2 hours later getting gas at the gas station i accidentally bumped elbow's with this older guy and it was a crowded line. Guy turns around at me and says "BACK OFF DUDE" then looked at the cashier and said "FU#$*& KIDS" cashier stuttered and didn't know what to say and just gave him his stuff and left. As i approach the counter i just   and she asked if i knew him. I didn't at all and she just told me he was probably having a bad day and needed a bigger bubble. I don't know guys, ever have a bad day like this? It really makes me think of this quote

"The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?"
— Bob Marley
yes it may be cliché that im a seniour and its bob marley...


Did i do anything? I try to be as friendly as possible until somebody gives me a reason but common i feel like I'm being picked on.

the guy you bumped into was obviously having a worse day

you would think so, and i honestly wanted to ask that. But knowing he'd probably take it the wrong way i didn't..

just brush it off. find a positive side to it. then laugh at it.

 you're not being picked on, i can tell ya. imagine, being nearly 6' tall, only weighing about 140, and having the very fun habit of saying what you think, when you think it, about whom you think it. you can imagine how much i got picked on. it was constant, as i was never a fighter.....didn't like it, and still don't. what it took to stop the picking though, was when i threw a desk at a kid that kicked me. pretty much no one bothered me after that.
 i wouldn't recommend doing that these days....you'll land in jail. i only got a 3 day suspension for that one.  it was also back in about 1977.

ive had a far worse day than you last month.  hotter than hell that day, dropped the phone in the toilet *dont ask*, got a cookie shoved into the disk drive of my xbox, had my appendix removed and i lost 20 bucks that day.  so what happened to u seemed like a fun day to me.

This is why there are concealed carry laws. Sounds like the type of guy to go into work with his pistol to settle scores.

[gyrene81]

the old dude probably got his manhood questioned by a woman   

sounds like the typical "you scare me but since i'm bigger i'll act like an a-hole"...sits at home blaming the world for his self esteem problems.

When it rains it pours dude.

you havent said what the prank was, but it was plainly dumb enough for you to be on probation and writing letters.

people who have had to work hard for the stuff they own ("adults") get very annoyed when other people mess with their stuff. especially their cars. whereas some adults deal with "mischief" by contacting parents, school, police, writing a letter, giving detention, making you say sorry etc. there are also a large number who will deal with it more directly, by handing out a lesson you wont like, or forget. sounds like the guy was doing you a favour there by letting you know how annoyed adults can get about this kind of thing.


also you missed out the bit where you instantly apologised to the guy you bumped into.

[Reaper90]

Not to single you out, but you're a senior in High School?

Just for what it's worth, it's painful to read some of the things you guys write...... Do they even teach english, grammar, and punctuation anymore?

They made you "wright" an apology letter? Really? Which did you use, Orville or Wilber?

 

And +1 to RTHolmes concerning adults not appreciating kids' stupidity.....

When an individual is being pissy for no apparent reason, the one thing that gets under their skin more than anything is telling them to have a nice day.

[Rich52]

Schools amaze me nowadays. When I was in school we fist fought all the time. Unless it was a bigger guy picking on a little kid nobody ever got in trouble, well a bigger kid then the bigger kid usually settled that score. Usually they just broke it up, on occasion the Priests and Nuns would just watch. If you did something dirty, like tried to kick the other kid in the groin, then you'd catch a beating from the nuns. And later the old man when you got home.

Now? Its all such a BIG DEAL. Parents and police are called in and we all sit around like were all at a prayor meeting. Trying to get the boys in touch with their own feelings.

Back in the '60s and '70s you wouldnt hesitate to punch a bully like that right in the nose. Then when the Police, teachers, or parents found out the bigger kid was bullying he'd catch another beating. I have always found violence to be very effective with bullys.

Sky

you just ran into a pair that make an arguable case for enforced eugenics. 

Don't let negative people pull you down.  Smile and laugh at them for being miserable.. or pity them.  Either way is just as insulting. 

Oh, and not all of us old guys think 'kids' are all a bunch of tools.  Just the cranky ones

naw its all good. This is a PRIVATE school. I chose to leave public for obvious reasons. Here i take engineering essentials and intro to business and excel. before i was in the 3rd worse school in the county and they don't offer wood shop, auto shop. Or anything like that and they still didn't before the budget cuts. I hope you don't see me as if i was a bad kid. I LOVE this school to death, even was personally thanked by the runner of the school for convincing 2 parents to sign up there kids in a single open house day. The point of the letter was to see if i was truly sorry and of course i was.

My friend has a Chevy metro, 3 cylinder 1 liter engine he paid 1 grand for (the car was light) me and 2 other friends lifted the back and turned the back left so it was horizontal in its space. By time we were done the car was farther away from the truck in the space left of it and no damage was done. my friend and owner of the car gave me the idea when he told me his dad used to do the same thing. I'm not trying to say and complain that " oh older people don't get younger people" hell no. I enjoy being round them more than my peers at times and always trying to respond with yes sir no sir until told otherwise. Granted i lacked an apology and i probably wasn't paying attention by then again i didn't even gain a chance too. I'm not puzzled by why i got the punishment, i accept it and understand it.
