What is wrong with young people??

[Lynx.1677]

So I walk to Tesco this evening to get my daily exercise. I got my bits, rolo yoghurts for the missus as I ate her last one (whoops). On my return I have to walk through the huge dark car park at the far end to get back home. I walk past a newish looking Corsa chav mobile that has music blaring and smoke pouring out of it and thought to myself "those were the days". As I pass the car I feel something hit my back. I turn round and one of the occupants had thrown their litter at me. Now, I am a very placid man but if you push my buttons I will explode. I picked up his rubbish and returned it to him, much to his surprise.

Somehow his wing mirror also got broken.

I think I've broken my hand.

What is wrong with these muppets?

I'm so worked up now!!!

I'm surprised that all that happened! People literally are turning in to scum bags. Just makes me mad that these kids think it's acceptable. Fair play to you for standing up for yourself mate. Most wouldn't bother due to that fear factor.

Good man!
Wing Mirror. Should have been his face.
I know that feeling all too well mate. Cheeky little sh*tes.
Chill-Pill is probably the best...
Hope your hand takes ages to recover, cos you smacked the chavvy git soo hard!!
IMHO.

I'm just sick of it mate. Got told to eff off recently when someone threw some rubbish in front of me. I just can't watch that and say nothing if it's where I live. Lately seems to be an influx of chavs. They talk all tough and like they're in gangs as well which just maddens me more!!

Can't believe this new generation will run the country at some point
HELP US

It's a small minority, I work in education with some amazing kids. Easy to focus on the few who spoil it, but there are far more who deserve praising, not tarnishing wit the same brush.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your hand. Not too serious I hope?

The lack of respect and poor parenting - the inability of some to see the difference from right and wrong and when to shut up and listen to what your elders are telling you. My kids can be a wild but they know the line some met my oldest and second youngest Jake at the Flyin last month.

social and communication skills = zero with many on the back of xbox's locking kids up in bedrooms and when they do get outside its just another game...

Very TRUE but there the ones that are out and about that give the good well behaved kids a bad name

Sadly i think its becoming the minority that are good,

We are not all the same, but there are kids my age that enlarge the stereotype that we are all thugs that steal off old ladies etc..

i hope your hand gets better soon mate

If you let them get to you then they have won, just move on because there's a 99% chance of them getting badly hurt or in prison.

It's a combination of things no doubt. We saw the real sharp edge when we had the rioting a while back. It seems that although surely it is a small percentage that small percentage has become more extreme in their behaviour.

haha well done on teaching them a lesson!

I don't agree, but the media focus so much on the bad stuff, no one is interested in success stories. Trust me, we are not doomed.

That's it mate teach them a life lesson. Scumbags shouldn't have thrown stuff at you in the first place.
