Seriously????

[MiddleofNowhere]

One day, I decide to treat myself to some lunch in the mall and as I was leaving, I halfway notice some teenage boys (13-14 years old) right outside our entrance (we're an anchor store to a large mall) and they're throwing something around, I quickly recognize it as these stupid 'helium' filled bounce balls our store sells - they're supposed to bounce up to 75 feet. I pay no mind as I walk by, but get about fifteen feet away and...

WHAM! STIIIIINNNNGGG!

The kid had fricking pegged me right in the back of the head with obviously a FULL FORCE throw of the bounce ball. Stung like a mother!

I stopped, walked back to the kid who was holding the ball and smirking..

Me: What was that about?
Smirking Kid: Oh... it's not my fault, the ball got away from me...(still smirking)
Me: *steam rising now as I am hungry, pregnant and have just been assaulted right outside my work* Seriously, what ever gave you the idea that bouncing that ball in a mall would be a good idea?!?
Smirking Kid: I told ya, lady. It wasn't my fault...(still smirking)
Me: Well, seeing as though your the one with the ball in your hands, I don't see anyone else out here with one of these stupid pieces of crap, I guess you'll be the one charged with assault. (pulls out my cell phone)
Smirking Kid: (not smirking anymore) You can't do that. It was an accident...(starting to whine)
Me: Take your stupid little ball, get out of my mall and don't ever bring it back here.
Smirking Kid: You're a real bitch. Wait til I tell my mom.
Me: Go right ahead. I'm calling mall security right now. I'm not concerned at all about your mom. (and I wasn't, I still had my name tag and work shirt on)
Smirking Kid: Fine. It'll be my word against yours.
Me: (points at ceiling 'trouble bubble') No it won't. See that security camera up there?
Smirking Kid: ...
Me: You are on video, I can have the tapes pulled right now.
Smirking Kid - now Sorry Kid: I'm sorry.
Me: Good. Get out.

He got out.

And then I treated myself to an extra special lunch at Panera. How I love the Chicken Frontega...

Smirking Kid: Oh... it's not my fault, the ball got away from me...(still smirking)

WRONG, you little brat! It IS your fault. A normal human being with even an ounce of personal responsibility would have been apologizing profusely at this point. I hope you're okay after that! I assume Panera was able to put you in a much better mood... mmmm....

[LillFilly]

Little punk; I hate those kids that say it was never their fault.

As a former mall rat I wanna bat that kid around a freaking bit. Kids like that are why we would get hassled.

Uber-pwnage on the OP's part, though. Way to go. Hope you're feeling okay!

Smirking Kid: Fine. It'll be my word against yours.

Only problem with that, slick, is that you're a kid, MoN is an adult, who do you think people are going to believe.

[AnaKhouri]

Huh, there must be some sort of magnet pregnant women have in the back of their heads, because I got nailed by some college douche with a hackey sack when I was 35 weeks along.

He apologized. I was so pissed I ignored him and stalked away lest I say something I would regret.

i kinda wonder what kind of home life that kid had...probably rarely hears the word no...sometimes it's both the kid's fault and the parents fault
