If its a problem i would call the police.And the race card does not always work.Never put your hands on a kid unless he touches you first.

Absolutely I DID.... I'm not addressing kids breaking bottles. I'm talking about the disrespect exhibited when confronted. Why does somebody have to explain their complaint immediately? Why doesn't the kids take and interest in the confirmation .... and wonder why? But when a kid flips the "bird" and THEN talks disrespectful... now we're not talking about bottles anymore.

Who started the yelling, go back to the top and reread! The approach was all wrong. He should have just walked up casually and said," Hay you know you just broke a bottle worth $5." That would have stopped the damage in it's tracks with no confrontation! With the wave of a few bucks, you could have had them digging for you. Frank...

The only way to deal with kids now days is to offer them money or scare the living **** out of them.

And why are kids like this? Because of the parents.

True for the most part, but it would not have applied to me when I was a kid. My parents tried, tried and tried again, but I wasn't having any of it. The law finally made me change my ways, or the threat of jail did anyway.

Exactly! Growing up being the middle child, I was the brunt of blame. To put it in perspective, my parents would be billionaires by saving money they spent on wooden spoons breaking over my asssets. I didn't disrespect people older than me, in fact I revered them because of the knowledge they held. I didn't go around fighting when its unnecessary.....I did however join Uncle Sams Misguided Children, thats a story for another day...

This saying is perfect:

"Kids who were taught to hunt, fish and trap didn't steal purses from old ladies"

You shouldn't expect your 'enemy' to be perfect, but you should be ready to use those imperfections to your advantage. You should think before you act.
They were having fun breaking the bottles. They didn't know they had value. You missed your chance to 'educate them'. Frank... PS: Hay, I was the middle kid in my family and my butt caught the worst of it. I mainly ran free as a kid and learned by experience and hard knocks.

Hay I use to go to the dumps with my hopped up Daisy Ryder BB gun and hunt rats. If I didn't see any rats, the bottles were in mortal danger. You could hop up the gun by bending down the BB retaining spring. Probably doubled the velocity. Frank...

I'm sure many of us had a great time breaking bottles (among other things) when we were kids. I know I did. For me the difference was, we still would have told you to go f yourself (unless we knew you), but then we would have took off running and laughing about it, on to our next adventure. As a kid, I didn't have much respect for anyone other than my own parents, because I knew I'd either get the skinny belt or I would have to pick my own switch off the willow tree. Of course when we were in their presence, we would act like perfect angels.

back when I was a kid -- coke bottles were worth 5 cents each * no way I would bust one --that's cash money for candy and soda and other stuff -- now no deposit type bottles and tin cans were fair game for bb guns and rocks but we had a spot for doing the bottles in at --to limit the amount of busted glass to just one area

 

[diggummup]

I think everyone that is old enough probably went around collecting pop bottles for return too. A great American kid's pastime that is no more.

Sorry ! I may respond after I stop laughing

 

[jeff of pa]

And you never broke a bottle with a stone as a kid? Use physiology! You could have had it easy! You should have said that you were a bottle collector and offered to buy 'the good ' bottles. It might have cost you a few bucks but you could have improved your collection and solved the problem at the same time. THINK before you ACT! Frank...

I agree with Frank, Tell them to bring you all the old bottles they can find & you'll pay them
out of your Profits after they sell on Ebay.

then let them wait & wait & wait

If they complain, give them the Finger & tell them to __________

he never came back to pick them up..

Leave some eggs in the sun for a couple weeks sitting in your car. When it happens again you know what to do with those eggs.
