Quoth Android Kaeli View PostIf I ever caused that much to be charged to my parents, not only would I not be able to sit down for the rest of my life, but it would be YEARS before I stopped paying them back for that.

Wow. Just wow. If I had a barrel of the finest rum ever made, I would send it to you...and even that would probably not be enough compensation for putting up with this crap.
The master-criminal in training....I'm just gobsmacked. Evicted from the hotel, fines, fees, cops, fire dept...Good god, what's next, the state troopers and the FBI? And the idiot parents just say "we can't control him." I just....what the FFFF!When you start at zero, everything's progress.

If Junior were the sneaky, quiet type he could be voted "Most Likely To Take Over A Third World Country" but in this day and time I wouldn't be surprised if he started videoing his antics and posting them on YouTube.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

I just remembered when one kids group stayed at our hotel, the chaperones had a clever way to get them to stay in their rooms. They put masking tape across the outside of each door and had a list of who was in what room, so the kids couldn't sneak out after bedtime. For security, they marked their doors with red crosses, and let us know that if we heard or saw any funny business from their kids to knock on any door with a cross. Didn't hear a peep from any of those kids!
I'm also reminded of when we had a mom & dad rent a room for their college kids because the dorms weren't open yet; the holiday wasn't over for another day. Those kids caused over $2000 worth of damage to the room (soiled carpet, smashed walls, broken boxsprings, etc.) and were kicked out at about 2AM by the police; actually several were arrested for underaged drinking too. Luckily, when they called about the charges, the parents were more pissed at their kids than the hotel."If anyone wants this old box containing the broken bits of my former faith in humanity, I'll take your best offer now. You may be able to salvage a few of em' for parts..... " - Quote by Argabarga

If I had ever done the shit LA4 did--not that it would have ever gotten to that point, mind you, but if it had--my father would have flattened me. And I'm not being figurative or methaphorical here. I mean he would have flattened me. Even after he passed, my stepfather would have flattened me, or my mother, while not exactly assertive, would have definitely reeled me in.
As for the popcorn kid, had he done that to me, and used that dopey line on me, I would have given him the Death Stare and calmly and coolly said, "If by one job you mean not beating you to death with this broom, I'd say I'm doing a damn good job of that. Wouldn't you?" My experience with dealing with people like that suggests to me that, after that, he would have either run off quickly, or immediately started picking up the popcorn himself.
My Death Stare is very effective.

The "If I ever caused that much damage" question is inconceivable to me. Why? you might ask.
Because I honestly believe to this very day (and I am 30 years old) that if I ever misbehaved that badly. My Grandmother, who I loved very much, would come back from the grave and beat the intelligence back into me. I know, it sounds crazy, but I swear to still hear my beloved Grandmothers voice telling me to treat others with respect and kindness, just as Christ loves us.I might be crazy, but I'm not Insane.
What? You don't play with flamethrowers on the weekends? You are strange.

I cannot stand kids in my restuarant. I don't hate them, but when there's rice everywhere, when they stand in the aisles blocking the waiters, and if the teachers don't do crap, I just wanna pour hot tea over them. At least some of the parents have a spine and do something about it.

Quoth seigus View PostLA4 makes me think of the Warren Zevon song "Excitable Boy". Probably will end the same.The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.
