    I am only 42 but have the body of a 70-year-old man. Some of you might remember before I went back to school before I had my stroke, I used to drive a truck for a living (10 years)Not to toot my own horn, but I was damn good at what I did. I could do any one of our 40 delivery routes better than the assigned drivers. I was fast.
    Being fast meant that I jumped down from the back of the truck every single time. 40-60 times a day. Trust me when I say I am paying for it now.

    When u wake up in the morning and ther a text from a customer and they want DETAILED Billing Like unnecessary detail. Detail so they know exactly how much money your making and quite frankly its none of your biz. We agreed on a price and thats what it is

    7 year olds playing baseball with a 13 year old ump and the parents get in a brawl on the field. Who in their right mind would want to be a umpire or even coach in this day and age?

    Ok Never an excuse for bad adult behavior at a kids event...NEVER
    Now that said I don't know the whole narrative surrounding what happened. I do though wonder if it had anything to do with a whiney liberal parent insisting their child is to never be wrong ,less than perfect and deserving do overs. I see something like that flipping a normal kids parent out. They should have just tucked it in the back of their mind and at the next game quietly slip away and keyed the f out of their car. Silent revenge can be just as satisfying and by far less of a head ache.

    Keying cars is a very bad idea. Over the years I've had several nice cars and a truck keyed for who knows what reason. One day I caught a guy in the act. He took a hell of a whopping for himself and the others I didn't catch. It's a cowardly thing to do.

    Lol, that took longer than I thought it would. I've never keyed a car but since putting a vote republican sticker on my car I've gotten several dents and scratches.
    So to the scenario I suggested a car keying would be preferable to a slug fest in front of kids. Remember it's a Rant thread. BTW beating a vandal instead of calling the cops is as bad as being a vandal.
    I know why my car is getting hit, first bumper sticker I've ever had. Have you ever wondered why you've had " several nice cars keyed " over the years, rhetorical question.

    Yes. Because some people can't stand to see someone else have something nice.

    Agreed. It's a passive-aggressive, chicken**** move.

    This is exactly what I expected from my post. So to that notice the near out rage over harming an object, putting the slug fest in front of kids to the side. Then going as far as bringing out a physical attack over the harming of an object.
    Now there is the a correlation in mind set between the to situation.
    BTW. Many a person has gone to jail for manslauter because of punching the wrong person

    What needs to happen is parents just need to be thrown out of the parks at the start.

    what I do now for soccer at youth games has worked very well. I don't throw the parent acting like an ass-clown out. I throw the rest of parents out on that team for allowing them to act this way. I give the other parents one warning, I simple say "If he/she continues to act this way I am throwing you all out for allowing it"

    I have done it three times now, at tourney's they are removed for entire tourney for the weekend, I'll tell you this the parent acting up shuts up real quick most of the time.

    Young refs it's even worse, and the females it's even worse at times. One day soon for soccer games will be canceled.

    AAU basketball is just crazy
