Tough guys
Sunday, May 29, 2011 at 3:24PM I am officially an old grumpy fart now. Today I became "that angry old guy".
Walking to Rite Aid for shampoo I passed three kids, late teens, one of whom decided to drop his soda bottle on the ground, laughing.
I don't really know why, but I mentally snapped.
"Pick that shit up. NOW!" said I.
The kid's friends had looks of terror as the offendor turned around and did exactly as he was told.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you do that?"
Kid: "mumblemumblemumble"
Me: "Was that English?"
Kid: "Don't boss me around, man"
Me: "Go toss that bottle in the trash or I will beat the fuck out of you in front of your friends"
Of course, he picked up the bottle, walked to the corner, gave me the finger as he tossed the bottle in the air, and ran.
Now if the kid was the hardass he thought he was, he wouldn't have waited til he got to the corner to show off. And I probably would've smacked him senseless.
I'm beginning to see the appeal of Charles Bronson stalking the streets with a handgun now.
I'm 36. If I make it to 50 I'm apparently going have an arsenal in my basement and a hit list etched on the wall in the blood of my enemies.

Fucking hilarious! I might be old too for agreeing the average teenager needs a swift kick in the ass. I have two...I know.
