Got a text from my 17 year old neice last week. "Can I drive your truck to summer school?" Let me see. I saved for months and worked my ass off to finally have a truck to go hunting and fishing in. I just spent $1000 on tires. I said " Sure you can use MY truck all fucking summer and Ill just trus that you will only drivr it to school and back and not ride around with your idiot fucking boyfriend and tear my shit to peices. Id love to borrow my own fucking truck from you to take my trash to the dump on sundays and Id really love t borrow my own fucking truck from you to maybe go fishing every now and then this summer." I then get a text back. "Ok, god nevermind"

Dad taught me to watch the trip meter. It was cheaper than a fix and worked fine. I still reset the meter every time I get gas. Knowing your mileage is useful. Actually, when you drive a civic like mine, that's about the equivalent of a drag strip time slip.

49yr old obese obnoxious brother with the maturity level and fore thought of a 17yr old at times.
 He drove to a nearby 7-11 for a big gulp at 11pm. This 7-11 also has gas pumps. On the way home he ran his wife's SUV out of gas as he was pulling in the driveway. Stalled out & sat halfway up the driveway. Told her it was her fault for not putting gas in it. THEN told her the gas can was in the garage....empty gas can. SHE had to work the next day. He is gonna find divorce papers shoved up his dumbass one of these days. |

Got a text from my 17 year old neice last week. "Can I drive your truck to summer school?" Let me see. I saved for months and worked my ass off to finally have a truck to go hunting and fishing in. I just spent $1000 on tires. I said " Sure you can use MY truck all fucking summer and Ill just trus that you will only drivr it to school and back and not ride around with your idiot fucking boyfriend and tear my shit to peices. Id love to borrow my own fucking truck from you to take my trash to the dump on sundays and Id really love t borrow my own fucking truck from you to maybe go fishing every now and then this summer." I then get a text back. "Ok, god nevermind" My god. God.

My 16yo is pissed that I didn't give him the ACOG I just bought. When I picked him up from work the other night he told me he wanted to by an ESEE Junglas. Other than that, I got nothing.

Half a tank?
Really? You folks must never go on long trips. Doubling your stopped time in order to fill up every half tank? |

Girlfriend's 14 year old daughter said "You use big words and it makes me angry!" during conversation at dinner last week after I used several three syllable words in one sentence...LOL Idiocracy is happening for real. The only response is "I offer my sincerest apologies for my superfluous verbosity. I shall henceforth endeavour to minimize the complexity of my communications so that every dullard within close proximity may grasp my noble and meaningful concepts." Nice! Needs a little of this since they were arguing-

Quoted: Half a tank? Really? You folks must never go on long trips. Doubling your stopped time in order to fill up every half tank? I fill up when I hit a half tank. On long road trips it's usually at about 1/3 to 1/4 tank when I need to pee  I got in the habit in 08 when gas suddenly hit $4 and stations were rationing out $50 purchases with some even out of gas...I don't ever want to be stuck Speed |

She meant Full cans...had to explain a few things...like it's July in Houston. Nevertheless, she sounds like a good candidate for the Survival Forum.

I then get a text back. "Ok, god nevermind" Anger issues? I don't see any anger issues. It is the frustration of dealing with a generation that feels they deserve everything for FREE. My tact would have be slightly different.... "Of course you may use my truck in a sensible manner, but there is a cost involved for wear and tear on the vehicle. It shall only be used to and from school and if you choose to abuse the privlege then no more truck. The cost is X and it shall always be returned with a full tank." My brother in law is learning the same lesson although much later in life. He wrecked out one of my vehicles and then demanded the insurance money....You see in his mind since he was driving it was his money. That did not work out the way he anticipated.

My daughter is sixteen...and driving. I am continuously preaching safety. I said, "You need to always have at least 1/2 tank of gas so you don't run out and get stranded. Her response..."Im not gonna run out..Im gonna have a couple of spare cans in the trunk at all times." When I started driving, my grandpa noticed once that my car was under a quarter tank. He looked at me and said "You know, it costs pretty much the same to drive around on the top half of the tank as it does the bottom half, but there's less chance you end up walking..." |
