Some "friends" of mine took their kids out tp-ing last weekend, a full week after Halloween. I came home Saturday night to find our trees, shrubs and one car covered in toilet paper. The car was damp from dew so I got to clean wet toilet paper off of my wifes nearly new car. They also left the toilet paper packages, walmart bags and a soda can in my yard.....that I had spent all day mowing and raking. I found out who did it and called the guy, only for him to tell me it was "kids being kids" and to lighten up. He drove the kids over 20 miles to my house to let them trash my yard. I am still pissed off. Doing it before or on Halloween is one thing, doing it after just seemed like he was teaching his kids how to be disrespectful. Am I out of line in thinking that pranks after Halloween are a real **** move?
If I ever asked my dad to take me somewhere so I could TP a friends house he would have laughed thinking I was trying to rile him up... Then smack me one once he realized I was serious.
And we wounder why kids are so messed up these days with bad examples of parenting they learn everything from us. To many parents these days are more worried about being cool to there kids then to discipline them. Love to your kids comes from correcting your child not acting like them.
I have never heard of a parent taking their kid out to TP. Not only would I be pissed, I would also bring into question his ability to be a proper parental figure. Kids are supposed to do these things as a sneaky kid thing, not be encouraged by parents. If I'd have gotten caught TP'ing as a kid I would have to do three things. 1. Admit and apologize to the home owner 2. Clean it all up 3. Spend the next week or two grounded as "part" of my punishment.
Get your whole family outfitted with paintball guns. Make sure they all know how to use them. Get a gangsta rap cd (to throw off suspicion) then do a drive by. You may then throw out the cd or save it for future use.
Yeah, I'd be pissed to. While two wrongs don't make a right....I think some kind of payback is in order
this story sounds like a beginning point to test the theory that: if you call your minor child your "best friend;" then that kid will eventually end up in jail
Don't get me wrong, done that back as a kid. But if I had gotten caught, the ol man would have whooped my azz for it! Parents don't seem to have the old school approach on discipline anymore, I`m sure the father was trying to be the "cool dad" but that just condones a lack of respect for others. Not cool.
Toilet papering is not "okay" at any time. It is disrespectful. Yes, kids will be kids - but usually when they are caught vandelizing they get in trouble. Parents who allow this are the reason why we have so many problems with society.
The best revenge is when the victim has no clue it was you, as "friends" the best revenge is him telling about what some assclown did to his house while you ywo were fishing, or drinking or any other activity together. I once had a neighbor that I was not what you would say "fond of" when he left for vacation I put his house up for sale, the resulting activity is to this day talked about, it was fine piece of work by some great friends.
The kids at our high school would do things like that during spirit week. One night they thought they were going to get our house and daddy saw them coming in the front yard and slipped out on the back deck with a pistol and shot 4 times and hollered "did you see those coyotes?". Needless to say, they took off fast.
