How bored are kids these days?

May 15, 2005 10:24

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.... :(

in high school, my boyfriend at the time got egged a few timnes when his car was parked across the street from my house late at night. partridge highland hooligans! got egged once in kent too, in the winter, coming home from something or other, and the egg FROZE on my windshield before i got home. yuck!

it happens to the best of us i guess. one of my friends at school had to replace her cracked windshield, and the NEXT DAY someone smashed into her and totaled the car.

normally i would have stopped and beat them senseless, but i was too tired to care :). also, it sounds like you know someone with even worse car luck than me....

haha, of course it did. and when you take it back and say, "the stupid light went on again already, what gives?" they'll say, "well, you should have got those $500 worth of repairs. oh, and that'll be $80 to shut it off again."

I've never been egged. I don't think I would know what to do if it happened ( ... )

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.
