I don't know if this is childish, but in my early 20s I did something that was a little revengeful.
I was going down an aisle in a parking lot, and saw a spot near the end, close to the store. I started to pull into the spot, but as I did so, a guy in a convertible Mustang whipped around the corner/end of the aisle, entered the aisle going the wrong way, and pulled into the spot I had intended to park in. As he did so, he threw a mostly-full Big Gulp (44oz.) cup at my car, where it hit my front window and burst open, splashing some kind of brown soda and ice cubes all over my car.
He then got out and shouted at me "sucks to be you, huh?" as he walked toward the store, before going in. I got out of my car, bewildered and somewhat pissed off.
A woman spoke to me, taking me out of my momentaty daze, and said "I can't believe what he did." I looked at her (~40 years of age) and said "He'll get his - right now" as I walked over to his car. I knelt down and began to let the air out of one tire. Once deflated, I moved to the next tire, and did the same. The woman, seeing what I was up to, laughed and said "I'll help you!", whereupon she knelt by one of the tires and began letting out its air. I moved to the third tire, and in a few seconds, all four tires were flat.
The woman got up and seemed a bit giddy and nervous, and said she had to go. As she went into the store, I plucked the Big Gulp cup from my window and filled it with as much ice as it could hold. I then dumped it and its contents into the drivers's seat of the Mustang. The bucket seat, covered with a combo of leather and suede, absobed the sticky liquid almost immediately, and the ice collected in a neat pile right in the center of the seat. I dropped the cup and lid and straw on top of that.
I then got back in my car, riding on a wave of adrenaline, and took off, not wanting to be seen by the dude.
Sometimes I wish I had parked nearby to watch his return, but no loss in the end.
Yep, childish, in its way. I wouldn't do such a thing now, but I guess I had a different perspective and values as a twenty-something. Heh, I'd still think about it now, I just wouldn't do it. :becky:
cheers,
