Tonight I was in drive-thru at a fast food joint which shall remain nameless. In front of me were some 16 year olds in a fairly new Mustang. None of them were wearing seatbelts, one girl was sitting on the guy's lap who was sitting in the front seat, and they were in and out running to their other friend's car, playing musical cars, only without the music. (It's also illegal to drive with more than one passenger for people who are on a level one licence, which these kids would have been.)
One girl was getting out of the mustang while the driver decided to take off with her still half in the car and she fell out onto the pavement. Then the guy in the mustang was making his car roll back (it was a standard) towards my car to **** me off. I was starting to get a little annoyed with their immaturity so I told them to get back in their car. So they all got out of their car and started swearing at me and yelling at me.
I decided to ignore them, and they pulled forward. After I got out of drive-thru, the driver swung his car around and stopped perpendicular in front of my car. I stop my car so I don't hit his car, they driver and the guy in his front seat get out and approach my car and start swearing at me again asking me "what (my) fking problem was." I told them that I was annoyed with their immature approach to driving and that they should take driving more seriously.
The kid continues to yell at me about how they're in a parking lot so "nothing's going to happen." I told him that for all I know they could act that way on the road and that they're in the category of people who die most in car accidents. Then he goes on to tell me "we're 16, we're only teenagers. This is how teenagers are supposed to act. Did you not act like this when you were 16?" I never did. I didn't get my first speeding ticket until I was 17, almost 18, and I still followed the other laws and I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt. The kid didn't shut up and get back in his car until I whipped out my handy-dandy cell phone and showed him the "police after hours" number on it and that I was going to call the police and inform them that I was being harassed by a group of teenagers in a parking lot who were trying to hit my car with theirs. (I never did call the police though. How come there's never a police officer in drive-thru when you need one?)
