I'm Fed Up
32 Answers
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.

Awww, now see at the risk of being in the minority, I can see the kids side in this (sorry!)
The ball came your way, they politely asked you to kick it back, not only did you not do it, you ignored 'em!
They kicked it at you, i bet they didn't mean to hurt you, its just kids being kids- they dont get consequences.
I'm sure when your necks better, you'll shrug this off and see it for what it was- kids being kids ie, little gits!
PS
I really do hope it gets better soon :-)

Yes I did ignore them. my football days ended about 20 years ago.
Even so, getting one whacked in your back from about 12 feet away isn't very pleasant. I wasn't actually in the field of play, so why it hit me is anyone's guess. Had he kicked it to his mates, I'd have been safe. Even so, the laughing and lack of concern was a bit idiotic - followed by the lip. If I caught my step kids behaving like that, I'd be really cross with them.
Not sure ignoring people entitles them to laugh when them thwack you in the back with a football, but obviously things are different where you are B00.
