I am a curmudgeon.

[AUFred]

I posted this on facebook this morning.

I realize I have become a curmudgeon. I want to say to today's young people: That cap brim goes in the front! Those pants are suppose to ride close to your waist! No one wants to see your underwear! Keep your loud thump and nasty lyrics to yourself! Not all skin should be on display! Some of your decisions in body modifications will not be pleasant when you are 30 years older.

Yes these gangers try to be unique. ..thing is they are uniquely the same...I liked the video where the ganger tried to outrun the police on foot...but his pants kept coming down breaking his stride. ..hilarious

One of my pleasures in life is Tuesday night league bowling. I suppose that has now been ruined too. My team has 4 members. Due to an employment conflict one of our members bailed on us. We were in a scramble last night to find a new member. One guy had expressed an interest in the league but did not have a team. We welcomed him with open arms to complete our team. Wait for it.......He has three little male munchkins with him under 7 loud and obnoxious. Deep breathe Fred. Not my best night of bowling so I decide after the first game maybe a snack would help. Run to the snack bar get a pretzel with cheese. Return with my snack and it is my turn to bowl. While I am up to bowl one of the munchkins yells something to me I do not understand but assumed he was asking if that was my pretzel and I said yes. After I bowl I head for my pretzel to find a set of sticky hands tearing my pretzel apart. One of the boys said we thought it was for us. I said well I will share. I ate about a quarter of my 3 dollar Pretzel and returned to the pit. I am not sure I will be able to take this 35 more weeks.

I do not blame you Fred. I can get along with small children in small doses It's too bad the father can't have the boys do something else while he bowls. I can see how they get bored but to expect his fellow teammates to help babysit is a bit much. I think you should have a talk with your other two teammates and see if they feel as you do and perhaps it is worth telling the new guy he can't bring his kids unless someone else is there to supervise as they are just too much of a distraction as there is not enough for them to do there.

My two cents

Let the lads see you pick your nose before buying food.

The Man.....................you think oddly LOL

 

[The Man]

The parent should have said something to the kid...but since he lets them do what they want to do...just have to eat real fast or do the nose pick trick.

You forgot about taking the phone off the 8 year old stranger at walmart and smashing it as he was talking on it.

Fred do that?

 

[porterjack]

[Joe the meek]

Fred do that?

No, I did. Why does a 8 year old need a cell phone?

You smashed an 8 year olds phone in Walmart. ?...I dont believe it.

Yes, and I also told the people behind me at church to shut their ****ing mouth when the minister is talking.

I usually do dumb shit when I'm not armed. That way I don't shoot anyone in self defense LMAO

 

[The Man]

Really Joe.....who determines whether or not an 8 year old kid should have a cellphone?
The parents do...not strangers Joe.
People get kids cellphones all the time now and place a restricted calling list on it such as family and emergency numbers....not a bad thing really.
If you were to have done something like that around here ...you would have had a small crowd in your face.

Small children should be under the supervision of caring adults whom the parents trust.

A flip phone is one thing, a smart/game phone is another.

I can't believe all the 7 year olds with a smart phone who play games with it.

Don't even get me going about kids who play tablets in church LOL

 

[porterjack]

phones or tablets in church is downright disrespectful

 

[hart]

Both

Most kids have phones/smartphones. Gotta move with the times. I agree that no one should be using a phone in church though.
