[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 2234167, member: 12082"] Yesterday I was filling up at our neighborhood filling station. Some kid about 16 was tearing up (so to speak) the parking lot on a skateboard. Mine was the only car at the pumps and he kept staring at me. I had parked close enough to the pump that there was enough room for me to stand while pumping the gas, but not much more room. After the tank was full, I replaced the pump nozzle, etc, and proceeded to wash the windshield. At that point the skateboarder starts skateboarding off and on the island I was using, coming really close to my car. It was weird because mine was the only car there, so there were plenty of "islands" for him to do his thing. I didn't say anything because I couldn't believe anybody could be so obtuse. For what it's worth, I'm 6'6" tall and weigh 240 pounds. He was just a skinny kid. So I don't think it was an invitation to fight. Would you have said anything? Also, had he scratched my car, is there any recourse? Or has our culture simply degenerated into accepting this behavior? [/QUOTE]
