Sorry, I did not write my name on my picnic bench

[mingming]

So a bunch of my friends (20+ people) went to Scarb. Bluffs today for a BBQ. Knowing how many ppl there will be, we show up in the morning. Found a nice spot with a BBQ. We had a killer workout carrying a picnic bench from a farther location.

Now as we are BBQing, a group kids, 2 girls 2 guys (i wont mention race, unless you really want to know) probably age 17ish just come up to our table, and sit on it. We werent sitting on the table at the time, but we had placed our food on it so ppl will know it's taken.

So we ask them politely to leave since it's our table. They go on with these stupid remarks like..
"is your name on it?", "you werent sitting on it"

We then mentioned that other people asked us first if it was taken. They didnt care, saying even had they asked first, they would sit on it regardless.

So we didnt want to end up in a fight, so we keep telling them how we've never met people like them before. And that we are completely shocked that people like them exist. we can tell 2 of their friends, had an embarassed look, which we even mentioned it to the 2 girls trying to talk back at us.

Eventually, one guy made an excuse that it was too hot at the table, and they all finally left. But completely wasted a good 20 minutes for a cause they werent going to win.

I just had to ask myself, could there be a more stupid and shameful exhibition of rudeness and common sense in kids today? We are all trying to have a good time, and clearly the table was ours. I know it's just a table, but who in their right mind would do something like this? And using stupid arguements like "your name is not on it" for somethin you cannot win is just beyond any words I can describe. I know theses people are a rarity, but it was just dissapointing I had to be a part of it.

arrest them for vandalism.

this is why parents need to beat their kids.

Agreed.

I hate those kinda kids. Why would they talk back at you? How old are you exactly?

[mingming]

Agreed.

I'm 23, all of us are around 22-23, in fourth year of university.

[Gordon]

Jeez.. Then why the hell would they pick a fight and argue with you!

Seriously those kinda kids need a beating.

[mingming]

I was just shocked that people would do this.

We even told them maybe they should goto a random family's table and sit on it. Or steal the ball that a kid was playing with. My friend asked them if a car was unlocked in the parking lot, would they sit in it if they felt like it. I just couldnt stop laughing when they relplied YES.

Then they went on some Ignore mode where they would say to eachother, "lets just ignore them".

I think they felt that they were right, and we were wrong for being rude to them. WOW

Common curtosity - ya don't sit on a picnic bench that is obviously being used by someone else. Or a group of other people near it having a picnic.

Its sad that "punks" have to screw it for the rest of them - the decent one. Unfortunately the negative is easier to remember then the positive that is being done by "kids these days".

Too bad becasue of peer pressure all of the kids stayed and didn't walk off. I am refering to the ones who appear to be embarassed. Its a shame they didn't have enough courage to stand up to their friends, smack them in the head and tell them they are idiots. Thats what i would have done.

My Two Cents.

[mingming]

I was just glad it ended peacefully. For a moment they were telling us that "we dont know who their friend is". Which obviously means they dont know anyone.

The whole arguement, we didnt scream or yell at them. Even as they left, we even wished them a good time at the park.

Ignore mode! HAHA! :lol: What panzies!
God thats hillarious!

Yeah, it's good you got them to leave without having to get in a fight.
Talking it out was playing it cool. Im sure you impressed the two girls you were with! ;)
Words over actions!

[Siefer999]

Jeez.. Then why the hell would they pick a fight and argue with you!

damn straight!
20+ people vs. 4 teens :lol:
should have told them to move and if they didnt, you should have made an example out of one of the guys while the rest watched:lol: that would teach them to think twice next time they decide to try to be bunch of thugs. its a win-win situation

[cipher]

Always bring a durian fruit to a picnic... :D

[UrbanPoet]

your lucky the people taht took over that table didnt smack you up...
Trust me, people are stupid like that these days.

[purple_rabbit]

Nah man they were 20 people, it's more like the other way around lol.

I would just take 5 of my guys and sit at the same table. Keep doing your ordinary thing and they will find themselves uncomfortable eventually lol. Since your food is already on the table, there is no place to put their stuff since your "food" already put their "names" on the table lol.

[UrbanPoet]

:arrowu:

Ohhh i see. well thats good it didnt escalade.
Thats some stupid shiet right there... Its common Park etiquette that when you have 20 people and food/bags parked on a bench that its TAKEN...

[hugh_da_man]

Sit down and hit on their women. I'm sure they'll get so creeped out that they'll leave.

[UrbanPoet]

those 2 guys probably wanted to try and be cool in front of the 2 girls.

[Happy13178]

Kids like that are why stupid people shouldn't be allowed to procreate.

[Piccolo]

I just realized it was the girls talking back ...
Jezz, the two boys are woopaud!

So we didnt want to end up in a fight, so we keep telling them how we've never met people like them before. And that we are completely shocked that people like them exist. we can tell 2 of their friends, had an embarassed look, which we even mentioned it to the 2 girls trying to talk back at us.

Why don't you tell us, so we can get our stereotype mojo going. Btw, this thread is stupid, why would you - an adult (I presume) would pick a fight with some teenagers on the park? Lighten up a bit.

Thank you for you intelligent contribution. Unforunately your ruined what ever point you were trying to make with "this thread is stupid". If its so stupid, dont read it and don't post in it. Obviously you are looking to pick a fight with the others by being insulting and hostile. Is it really worth it to respond just to get your post count up so you aren't labled "newbie" anymore?

he's one of those people who sit on other people's benches :lol:

To the original poster, I'll bet you didn't know those kids were members here, but this guy sure sounds like one of them.

Personnally, as you cant legally beat them, you all should just have sat at the table and started eating. Just act as if they weren't there at all.

[nahim.a.a]

I'm a lurker, but the stupidity of this thread and replies were too much for me to endure.

Anyway, back to your whining about some silly teenagers in the park.

Well then I suggest you take your intellingence somewhere else and spare us the trash coming out of your ... ehh ... keyboard.

the op said that they asked politly for them to leave and even after the punks refused, he and his friends played it cool and avoided any further conflict. how did they go "pick a fight" as you state. the only thing you are right about is that you are a lurker.

[Evil Baby]

You should have just brought some country music or some golden oldies and just proceded to blare it. I'll take a small leap of faith here and assume that would not have been their choice of music. Just blare it and sit down beside them. I'm sure they would have left.

It's nice being in such a free country, but sometimes stupid people are allowed to live just a little too long. Than they breed and it just gets worse.

you only have 12 post and already your creating a bad rep for yourself.

[keanefan]

those BBQ's in public parks are dirty??

so you put aluminum foil on the grill???

[afong56]

i think by the time the coals have burned and charred to the point where cooking can be done, the grill will be more than sanitized, and a quick brush will knock any ashes from the grill that remains.

[nsd]

:arrowu:
Yup, that's how it's done :).

[mingming]

LOL, we had those grill meshes and placed them on top of the grill. We had on the menu that day:
- drumsticks, wings, salads, steak, corn, fish balls, sausages, hotdogs.

Had a great time playing frisbee, soccer, football, baseball, water balloons. It was friggin HOT tho. I was completely exhausted at the end of the day. Just came home and collapsed.. LOL

Just to clarify, it wasnt 20 of us at the time, only about 8 of us showed up at the time.

They had around 15 people, but only 4 of them came over, the rest sat at their original spot. But as the arguement went on, more and more of their fds came by to see what was going on. The 4 of them just acted as if they found a bench and started to tell the rest of them to come over.

Now the LAST THING we wanted was a fight. What part of my posts did it suggest I was picking a fight with them? It was 100% wrong for them to sit on our bench. We showed up to the park in the morning so that we can get a grill and bench. If they really wanted a bench, they should've showed up early.

They even claimed they showed up at 8AM. Now if we showed up at 11am and still got a bench, wouldnt they have easily found a bench as well? LOL

[Bzji]

Eventually, one guy made an excuse that it was too hot at the table, and they all finally left.
LOL! Too hot to sit at the table.

Wut a group of morons! It seems that from your story, the girls were the b*tchy ones and those guys were just idiots who didn't have the balls to keep their woman in line.

Curious though, of all the picnic tables there, some with families, some with group of friends probably just like you guys, why did they chose ur table to sit on?? Do they think you guys are push-overs or something. Like what could they possibly expect out of it, you guys just to say "I'm sorry, you guys can have the table"???? Which leads to me kinda curious, what race are you and ur friends and what race were they??

[M@rk]

At least they didn't sit down and then start eating your food. That would've been bad.

[purple_rabbit]

Jesus CHRIST!

What?

Get the Escalade, we're outta here.

ROFL...gotta love family guy

[aquariaguy]

I think at that point, its gloves off lol

You never know, those little punks may pack knives

[ClubberLang]

(i wont mention race, unless you really want to know)

:rolleyes:
the fact that you even mentioned this is noteworthy. but w/e

[Paranoidandroid]

Agreed.

I hate those kinda kids. Why would they talk back at you? How old are you exactly?

ya see! the kids these days, they listen to the rap music! which gives them the brain damage! and their hippin' and a hoppin' and a bippin' and a boppin', they don't know what the jazz! is all about!

[flyingdutchman]

Brapp....Bill Cosby couldnt have said it any better than that!

[bullet]

oh my, this is how bad it is, as soon as he said i wont mention race, i already knoew what they were. then they complain about racism, please! so said the imagethey have portrayed for the whole race.

[ClubberLang]

so sad that you're narrow minded enough to think that the actions of a few teenagers represent any type of "image of the whole race". Sorry, but people have the right to be *******s without having to think about what image they are making of the "whole race" that they belong to.

[mingming]

OK, some have asked me what race.

They were brown kids, and our group were Chinese/korean.

I know what happened yesterday does NOT portray their whole race of people, and it was just a rare incident. I also understand it could have happened with any other types of kids.

[TTony]

shiitt happens,you have to be azhole for a moment to solve the problem

[x86asm]

You think that was bad. I had a BBQ at the Humber College campus in Etobicoke (just kept progressing on Kipling). We had some drinks set up with paper cups and this random dude came up took a paper cup, helped himself and went off :| .

[Kirilenko47]

^ You think that's bad? Remember the time when I auditioned to be David Hasselhoff's car?

Sorry...just had to. Apologies for a pointless post.

lol...it's actually kinda funny in a weird sort of way :razz:

[doraemi]

you can take out a knife and start carving your name on the table.

or just sit on top of the table and give them the death stare....

[Happy13178]

It's silly. Don't take any crap from kids, especially little snots trying to show off. I'd deliver a thrashing to them so fast it'd make their heads spin.

[P__S__2]

I gave that death stare...to a teacher once....lol it was too funny...in the end she quit, and I got sent to the office.

[najibs]

Take off your clothes, get naked, and sit next to them on the table, and pretend to be gay, while telling them you'd be more than happy to have them join you for lunch for a big juicy hot dog with extra mayo.
