How bored are kids these days?

apparently bored enough to sit on the side of the road at 3am and wait for cars to come by so they can egg the hell out of them. scratched the hell out of my paint too. my car can't seem to go one week without getting damaged.... :(

I've never been egged. I don't think I would know what to do if it happened!!!
it really bothers me the things teenagers (and college students too) do to other people without a second thought. I mean, why don't they just walk up in front of you and scratch the hell out of your paint? Would serve the same purpose, and it would probably be more fun for them so that they could actually see your face!!! (well, it would be fun until you beat them senseless). I mean seriously - no one has any respect for other people's property! When I was in Columbus, someone took a baseball bat and beat all of the side mirrors out of all of the cars on the street Keith was parked on. Can you even imagine how much it cost for all of those people to replace all of those mirrors!!! When I had to replace mine, I was relieved to find out that I don't have the mirrors you adjust electronically, because it would have been over $100 just to replace the tiny little side mirror. Or how about the kids who drive all over the country side in wooster and bash in all of the mail boxes? We are talking hundreds of mailboxes smashed by a baseball bat in one night. What is the point in doing that? Grrr. SOrry this was so long. I just finished ranting in a reply to carol so now I am revved up.

nope, no respect for property. unfortunately for them, i have no respect for sub-human life, and thus would have normally slaughtered them. fortunately, however, for them, i was really really tired, and wasn't even sure it was egg until the next day when i examined it further...

When I had to have my mirror replaced (someone either hit it with a car or took a bat to it when I lived on Frambes) it was actually $250, because I had the kind of mirrors that are built into the shell of the car (rather than screwing into some little part sticking out). And mine didn't even adjust electronically.

Keith, at least, was able to replace his for 15 or 20 bucks because his WAS one of the ones you just screw onto the outside, and he was able to find one at the junk yard.

yeah I think mine was $45 to replace. The guy didn';t give me an exact dollar amount for the electronic adjusting ones, he just said I was lucky because it would have been well over $100. I can't imagine paying $250 for a mirror! but, it is something you have to have.
