I'm usually pleasant on this board but some knuckleheads that walk down my street are getting out of hand now. They wrecked the snowman I made with my boys on Sunday (as well as my neighbor's REALLY NICE one)....took the buttons off and threw them on the ground. I won't say where they stuck the stick we used for the nose. Really ticks me off! You would think they would know that they are hurting the feelings of young kids that live here. I just took the hat and scarf off and left it bare. They will probably knock it down tomorrow...that is if I'm not here....because if I am, they are messing with the wrong one! |

That's just wrong...it's like smashing someone's jack-o-lantern.... It's just disappointing that someone would do that... |

I know the thing is going to melt away anyway but it was still rude of them to do that...because of how I see them act on a daily basis (fighting in the street, totally oblivious to me trying to get thru the street in my van).
From now on, we will do stuff like that in the backyard. |

if they want to vandalize a snowman, they can at least make their OWN and vvandalize it. :/
Last year my friend and i made a stripper snowman,(or woman.) and it was pretty funny. No harm was done, and it bothered no one. (Well, except to her elderly neighbor who's mulberry bushes i accidently shredded in order for the hand.)
If some one wants to make an inapropriate snowman, that should be fine, but only if they do it to their OWN, and not desecrate someone ELSE'S snowman. That would just be plain rude.  |

It's teenagers, almost certainly.
Kids that age all claim to like little kids (ask any of them and they'll say so), but they have an astonishing inability to see how their actions affect the little ones.
I've had to remind our local teenagers and/or their friends to shut up late at night, as they're waking up little kids in the neighborhood. They really don't care whether they wake up grown-ups or not, but they do seem to relate to the concept of harming children.
I don't know where they stuck the stick used for the nose - but if it is where I think, then they probably thought that was totally hysterical without thinking that some little tyke was going to be pretty upset about it. |

We had the same issue a couple of years ago - some teenage girls on their way home from school came up on our front lawn and kicked our snowman over. I happened to hear them and leaned out the upstairs window to yell at them. I told them that my 4 year old daughter had built the snowman with her dad and she was going to be really upset - they were horribly embarassed and apologized profusely. We've had a few other "teenager" related vandalizing incidents to the point where my 7 year old lets out a big sigh and shakes her head and says "Teenagers" like a 50 year old curmudgeon. |
