there,s people would pay for that.

I don't blame you at all BBW, you were only doing what the rest of us feel like doing every time those little b@st@rds get on ths bus.


Zero sympathy for the kid - in fact I reckon that when they play their music on the bus, they're often doing it as a direct challenge to other passengers. Either to assert themselves, or to try and provoke a reaction to give them an excuse to administer a beating. Either way, it's about time we stopped being scared of kids, it's a terrible state for a society to be in... I wish more people stood up to them.

Well done for standing up to these bloody irritating twerps who think they are so tough. I'd have I've done the same myself after witnessing their behaviour and for being insulted in the same way as you were.

Usually I can't be bothered but if provoked enough I can do the look and the verbals if need be if I feel it's doing my head in and they have reluctantly complied. Fortunately, I've only once had to resort to physical violence when a gang of them turned on me. Violence is always the last resort. Trouble is you never know these days if one of the little shits is carrying a weapon.

Having said that people talking on the phone on public transport irritates as well.

There was an interesting conversation on the radio over Christmas about this point of taking the law into your own hands. One of the participants, a guy from some police avisory body was taking the line of "whatever you do, don't take these hoodlums on - you risk getting injured or getting prosecuted," The other guest was a youth worker whose message was "we are all responsible for good relations between children and adults so as an adult you have to learn to talk with teenagers." The difference between them was stark and worrying. The problem was that the police guy was more official and I hate it when the police take this line over these matters. What kind of advice is that? Put up and shut up. The Police should advise us how to talk to teenagers and they should back it up with statistical and anecdotal evidence of what happens when an adult engages with teenagers. Of course in the News we always hear of the examples where the adult is beaten up or prosecuted but my guess is that there are many more instances where the child changes his/her behaviour.

So whilst not advocating slapping anyone, thanks to BBW for letting us know how you engaged with teenage oiks without being murdered.

I would imagine that the police are totally out of touch, and are in no way equipped to advise the public how to comunicate with these kids. I still remember when I was at school, having police visits... "personally I don't take drugs, I get high enough on life", etc...

ha ha ha ha ha ha weeing on kids on the bus, thats the funniest thing I have heard this year. Tickled me pink it did. Its so wrong but it makes me want to have a willy.... Next time I am on the P4 and traumatised by noisy feral kids I will consider this as an option.

Maybe 2009 should be a year for challenging rude behaviour, so I am right behind you BBW (all 5ft2 of me....)

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
