Was de-icing the puma before I go off to work and a double decker pulls up at the bus stop which is about 1m away from where I am. suddenly "polp" something fell from the sky near to me. further investigation reveals to me that the item which "fell from the sky" was a copy of Metro (a free newspaper from the bus). Looking into the bus, I saw this young lad (roughly aged 13+) laughing and his friends behind him cheering him. All going to school btw.

"wtf???" I was thinking. and I ignore them and continued de-icing the puma. The young punk odviously wanted attention and threw another further 2 copies of the newspaper out from the top deck of the bus (where he is seated). Both copies landed no nearer to me than the first one.

I still ignored him and his bus went on its way...

Someone correct me if I am wrong but is it wrong for me to collect the 3 copies, board the bus, go up stairs and shove all three copies up his ar$e... and he will think twice in future should he try to play the "newspaper" boy again.

I imagine it would be very tempting to do that Elvin, and I'm sure some people would turn a blind eye to it, but sadly the situation is that you would probably land yourself in a heap of trouble for doing it. Just the way things are these days.

To be honest I remember things being thrown out of the school bus windows when I was that age (about 17 years ago now), especially on the last days of term (toilet rolls, ripped up text books etc.). the other trick was to get all the kids on the top deck to stand in the isle and 'rock' the bus back and forth. Got knows what we would have done if we'd gone too far with it, but back then nobody would bat an eyelid if the driver decided to stop the bus, chuck people off or give the kids a clip round the ear for being little poos.

These days you would probably be sued by the parents for causing poor little innocent billy distress or something like that. Either that or you would have some neaderthal of a parent coming round to cause more trouble at your house.

TBH - Not worth the effort!

Much as I hate to say it, a large boot up the jacksey or a fat lip is a tempting proposition for little effers like that but at the end of the day it's not worth the grief.

these days, these days??

I think you will find that in any days that if someone shoved three newspapers up a childs arse there would have been repercussions. I will give you that sueing is more likely nowadays but what if the chaps dad then came round and beat you or Helen up with a baseball bat?

Personally I think a clip round the lug would do no harm, or ideally make him look a complete wally in front of his wee chums.

At least you can do the crossword!

coming from a family where caning and slapping is a norm at home, I would say "shoving newspapers up his ass" or any punishment you deliver to the child (not too extreme ie death) in singapore would be welcomed by his parents as well as the public.

My dad being a military officer in charge of discipline, canes and "whips" (using his leather belt) his children at home (I have received a fair amount and had bloody hands, legs and bottoms when I was still a child aged from 6 to 16) No one said anything or did anything and parents there think that that is the way to teach your children whats right and whats wrong.

Well I think I will ignore these behaviour in future. just goes to show that the parents of that child failed in giving their child a proper upbringing.

[e3silversurfer]

I got caned at home when ever my 2 clumsey brothers fall or hit their heads on something (when they are 3 or 4 years old). Parents say its my fault... why? I didnt look after them... WTF??? wonder who are the parents... me or them.

lol, perhaps you would get into trouble in any days for actually shoving them up a child's arse. I was more meaning that you can't do anything to kids these days without getting into trouble yourself.

I'm not condoning giving them a beating or anything like that, but it seems like these days even if you were on the bus and grabbed the kids arm to stop them doing it you run the risk of getting into trouble.

When I was that age, if i'd done something wrong and an adult had decided to give me a clip round the lug and then gone complaining to my parents, there would have been a risk of getting another one from them for being a little sh1t.

EXACTLY

Bring back that kind of parenting!!

The common problem is a lack of respect (spelt with a C not a K and certainly not to be confused with respekt as people yell in certain gang cultures "you aint showing me no respekt" for example!! )

And the fact these days far too few people care anymore and are just happy in thier cocooned lives as long as these problems dont directly hurt them. Keep going the way our society is, and before long decent folk will be the minority.

I realise this was quite tiresome and perhaps annoying, but as has been said before kids having a lark isn't anything new. Throwing loo rolls from bus windows and the like has happened for many years. If people can't remember having some fun and playing a few pranks as children then I am sorry for their spolied childhood.

After all we used to knock on people's doors and run off, go 'scromping' for apples in the local neighbourhood gardens etc etc.

We all used to get in trouble for getting up to no good, but we all grew out of it and no proper harm was done.

Can't kids just be kids now?.

Thats what he wanted you to do, tried to get a reaction and didnt, good for you

Of course, as long as it's not around me...

Well said Peter. I didnt pinch apples as we had apple trees in our garden but i did play thunder and lightning and throw snowballs at cars and buses etc. And adults said "ooo he'll never amount to anything" and "no respect that's his problem, needs a clip round the lug hile"

My parents walloped me for doing stuff that was naughty but it never stopped me and wouldnt stop the kid on the bus. It was no fun if noone chased you so just dont react and the fun goes away.

I always hoped I wouldnt turn into a "wouldnt have happened in my day" kind of grown up and I am still trying hard not to!

[e3silversurfer]

Yes kids can be kids. I remember winter 2005 where I was learning driving and it was a snowy day. As I was driving past this school, the students were being dismissed and guess what, they gathered at the road side and tossed snowballs on oncoming traffic's windscreens, car from both directions got targetted. I think it is very dangerous as they could cause an accident and might result in getting someone killed.

Although I was naughty when I was a kid, I know enough to not play near a road as it will result in a car knocking me down.

Some of naughty exploits include cheating during tests/exams and spellings, drowning ants, secretly going to friends' house to play games when parents think I am having revision at school and what nots. I didnt make fun of people physically or destroy other's propertities.

Well I guess I will just ignore them as per usual as I am an adult now

I think it is shame your parents took discipline to such extremes. A short sharp slap hurts no child, but what happened to you was child abuse.

I'm glad you ignored the boy's prank. A newpaper can do no harm. Had you retaliated, it could be a brick next time they pass your car.
