    Someone kicking my car isn't small stuff. I've worked my ASS off to have my cars and to have them in the shape that they're in. If someone was enough of a dick to kick one for something like the OP's or the above story -- I'd haul off and kick their teeth in too. You do NOT disrespect people and their property like that.

    Honestly, the reason things like this happen so much is because of this mentality of "no repercussions" that we have today. The stop bullying campaigns (I see the positives, but there are drawbacks as well) and all the frivolous lawsuits have made people simple and weak. Forgive the cliche -- but when I was growing up, if you talked shit you got hit. And when someone pushed you around or hit you (and you weren't doing anything to deserve it) you kicked their ass. These situations are no different when it's adult vs. adult. A LOT of people in the 18-25 age bracket [i apologize for generalizing so heavily] have zero respect for others (that I've noticed in my personal experience) and unluckily for them, there are those of us out there who don't have to and will not put up with their shit.

    People love to pull out the frivolous lawsuits thing, but have you actually seen the burns from the famous McDonalds Coffee lawsuit, where the elderly woman was taking the lid off her coffee to put cream and sugar in as the passenger in a parked car and received 3rd degree burns because of the temperatures corporate policy specified and had received many complaints before ? Take a watch of the movie Hot Coffee and you will see how much of the frivolous lawsuit stuff is manufactured.

    Not the types I was referring to. But a good point none the less. I meant more of, "robber breaks into house, breaks leg, sues homeowner." Kind of frivolous.
