What is it with some people? Sarah, my other half, was driving to the Bransholme Centre in Hull this afternoon to return a pair of trousers which she'd bought for George, my step-son. As she got towards the centre, she heard an almighty crash behind her, and discovered that the off-side rear window of the car had been put through. This resulted in a detour to get the window fixed, rather than getting the trousers returned. The original cost of the trousers was only £4, but the new window cost £50. £54 is certainly the most expensive pair of school trousers I've ever heard of.

Looking at the resulting damage to the car, the most likely cause for this seems to have been something fired at the car, such as a stone or an air-rifle pellet. Surely the idiots that do this kind of thing realise the consequences of their actions. If they had hit the front window, then Sarah would have been covered in glass at the very least and more importantly could have been seriously injured. If George had been in the back, the same result might have happened.

If it was an adult, then they need locking up, but what bother's me more is the thought that it's a teenager. Have they been so badly brought up by their parents that they don't appreciate what happens when they do something as stupid as this? I don't want to start on a "Kids Today" rant, but sometimes I really do despair. I only hope George doesn't grow up like this.
Some of the kids that I see around and about these days really don't seem to give a shit. Should we, as right thinking adults be prepared to accept behaviour from today's young people? We would have been disciplined and made to behave. Have we gone too far as a PC society? Answers on a postcard.
