Shameful behaviour on my part !

[jampots]

I just went to collect dd from school and as I was reversing an older lad (about 15) ran behind my car. His mate (being very cocky) started clapping and said "clever, very clever" to me! as though I was in the wrong so I said "Fuck off" to him!

Only after did it occur to me that I said that to a child! How shameful!

Yes, yes I know he's a child and all that but imho most teenage boys deserve to get told to f*ck off occasionally

Would he have thought twice about saying it to you? I very much doubt it, and if he had I don't think he'd have felt in the least bit guilty about it either so please try not to beat yourself up over it

Well done Jampots!
I'd probably have said alot more than that!!!

LOL Jampots!

Jampots shame on you. Only joking, I'd have probably said much worse, you know me

see Jampots.... i told you, you were scary

Umm..... just to point out when i was 16 i was RUNOVER....

I did run in front of the car (who was speeding) but thats beside the point....

anyway BECAUSE i was under 18 (and a child) it WAS the drivers fault that he hit me.... apperently, we, as drivers should be looking out for 'children' and predicting there random moves

So as much as you like to think you wernt wrong... technically you were

It was this clause in the law that allowed me to get lots of companstaion for the horrific injuries he caused me.

(Im not saying I agree with it, but thats how it is)

jampots - why not - today there were some 'ard' ( in their opinion) lads hanging around the local shops and blocking the footpath so this guy gave them a bollocking which included threatening to stick their bikes somewhere the sun don't shine.

Whilst did not condone his venom - can appreciate his irritation - I was carrying dd2 and dh was walking with dd1 and we would have had to step onto the road to go around them. One boy looked straight at me - could see we were walking down the path and when I finally asked him to move out the way - he slowly moved his bike about three inches away and so we had to weave around his bike - easy for me and dh but dd1 who is still finding her feet with ehr walking - it was a bit of a pisstake. As I had the dds with me I chose my words carefully but did suggest that it was really not right clogging up the footpath with their bikes.....

BEing an ex secondary teacher - some teenage lads just make you want to say that to them. Sadly that is all some of them understand.

ROFL @ Carmenere, she is sooooooooooo right

According to another thread their teachers probably say it to them all the time.

Are you sure he wasn't saying it to his dimwit mate for running behind your car?
