I'm Fed Up

[Barmaid]

I was having a nice day. One of my few days off that isn't a stolen day and I have no pressure. I walked round the shop earlier. As I walked along the road, there were some lads playing football. They kicked the ball towards me and then shouted "Miss can we have our ball back". Now as I have absolutely no foot to eye coordination and it was a busy road during the rush hour, I ignored them. I then crossed the road and walked down the path to the shop. Out of nowhere, I felt this ball smack me on the back, right on the base of the skull/neck. My head snapped back and forwards. All the kids laughed, it was obviously terribly funny.

I turned round and snapped "JUST be careful you bloody idiot". To be told that I am now in trouble for swearing and this butch 14 year old knows where I live and is going to tell his dad. I told him to go ahead. At this point, I was in two minds whether to cry or go and brain the little sod.

Meanwhile, I have a headache coming on, my neck aches and I want to go and shove that fekkin football somewhere painful.

So I am REALLY FED UP. If it ruins my gardening plans tomorrow, I shall be REALLY mad.

There are a lot of fed up people on here today.

Have yiou seen my question to you on my ' fed up ' thread ?

[Barmaid]

lol, I have no Bazile. I didn't actually understand it, so I guess the answer is "no"!

When his dad comes round can you have a surgical collar on like Mrs Tishells?

[boxtops]

I wonder what would have happened if they'd floored you with the football, that wouldn't have been so funny....

[Barmaid]

Oh when his dad comes round, I shall enjoy it. He might need kevlar pants.

I don't actually have a surgical collar. I've put an ice pack thingy in the freezer cos I just know how painful it will be later.

[Barmaid]

I very nearly went down Boxy. If I had my heels on, I probably would. I would have floored a little old lady.

[chrissa1]

Get his name and address and threaten to sue.

[craft1948]

Get a surgical collar from the chemists, then ask for his address so you can sue him............

[snags]

''can you have a surgical collar on''

... and your Barrister wig and gown ;-p

I am sorry your nice day off is spoiled by these stupid idiots.

Before the father come over to you, you put on a neck brace and go over to the threatening boy's home and complain to the parents/father. Threaten to report the incident to the police and see what the boy says.

(this is the third fed up thread in a row lol)

[MadMen]

Oh no! What a horrible little oik.

[DTCwordfan]

I would report it to the police - just in case you have any medical issues later....

[Barmaid]

lol, I know its the third "fed up" thread in a row. I was thinking my fedupness was more fedupness than anyone else.

I wouldn't have minded so much if just one of them had said "heck, sorry, are you OK", instead of laughing and giving me lip.

I won't sue - although if and when dad turns up, I might just explain in words of one syllable.......

[shoota]

10-1 it was deliberate.

[Barmaid]

Shoota, I am fairly sure of that. However, I could never prove it. I did point out with ball skills like that he should be playing netball.

[society]

You could have been seriously hurt if your balance was poorly. I think the little sh!ts need to be scared some. They were disrespectful and rude to you, and need to be taught a lesson.

[Smowball]

Bloody hell, that sounds painful.
I had a similar thing years ago on a beach. A gang of boys behind me threw - not a ball but a rock - hit me smack on the back of the head and nearly knocked me out.

[EcclesCake]

Ouch to both BM & Smow!

Removing their balls is a fair punishment, by whatever means......
