I was sat on the bus yesterday, with my head down fallingasleep, when a young lad aged about 15 knocked on the window and stuck one finger up at me. He was alone, so not playing the clown in front of his friends. I was quite astounded that someone would do this to a complete stranger!

lack of respect, lack of manners, lack of any thought for anyone but self.

it's depressing!

A woman in a car - driving- stuck her tongue out at me when I glanced in her direction the other day. It was odd and upsetting until I realised she was the one with the massive problems.

I like the sound of your gran Elizabeth.

Yeah she's great LeGavrOrf. She regularly calls me a moron to my face Grin Only when I deserve it of course.

How unhappy with your life do you have to be to do that to a stranger?? Sad git.

If you had have thought quickly, you could have given him a beaming smile and waved at him. He would have been completely confused and not known how to react.

Maybe next time....

Cheeky little fucker - doesn't sound like he is going to achieve much with that kind of attitude.

I remember when my brother was little. He was the most angelic looking child - big blue eyes, cute face - but was a devil inside. Whilst he and I were waiting in the car one day (our parents were shopping) a couple walked by and looked at him with a friendly smile. He responded by sticking his tongue out and pulling the most awful face. The couple looked horrified and I was SO embarrassed.

I think there is a impish part of me that would have found what that kid did bloody hilarious if I was that age.

I don't think it means he is a scumbag. Just a bit warped.

I once was on a bus where children were banging on the side and swearing through the window's at passengers...that is until they banged on one window, stuck up their fingers, and shouted swears...the passenger pulled out a police badge and held it up ti the window.
Oh thoses little shits ran away so fast Grin

My mum once had dog poo thrown at her by a boy aged about 10/11. She was walking the dog past a shop, the dog had done her business a few moments earlier so mum went to put the bag in the bin. This kid was sat on top of the bin chatting to his mates. Mum said 'excuse me' to him, put the bag in the bin and continued walking. Next thing she feels something on her back. The boy had taken the bag out of the bin, ripped it open and thrown it at her. He told her that she was disgusting.

I wonder if he still thought that when he was washing cocker spaniel poop off his hands!
