Ya, I have to agree. If they weren't being morons and blocking a road, that might be excusable. If it weren't so obvious they were going to hop in the car after boozing, that might be excusable. Combine the two and I'd either call the cops or tell them to beat it.

If they were jus boozin out in public, I'd have just given them a thumbs up :D

Hahaha "bush league". I think you're the only person, melty, besides my buddy, who I've heard use that phrase. And yeah, it was kinda bush league.

is calling the cops really necessary?

Are you stupid?
Teens having fun and drinking is fine, just dont be fucking stupid and do it in public while blocking the entrance to some dudes house and not expect your ass to get handed to you. We were all teens, I for one wasnt a dumbass drinking ontop of my car whilst people try and drive around me. Half the fun was NOT getting caught.

Some of you are going to make horrible parents.

The cops never really come around our subdivision, that's probably why they were there in the first place.

Honestly, when we were kids we did our drinking in parks, friends houses, out by the lake, in rented hotel rooms by that one 21 year old dork who bought you booze to try to steal your chicks.

I would never been caught doing anything as stupid as these kids. And I was by far a "bad" child.

Nothing much to tell, just your usual drugs, booze, police, fighting, high speed contest, shitty metal band playing, sex crazed 90's teenage shit.

I just was that guy who fell into that "He's going to get you into a lot of trouble, don't hang out with him" category.

If they are adults under the legal limit, sure there is.

The OP is spot on, except he did it wrong. I would have pulled out my nunchuks and beat the little sissies over their heads, slapped their ears and chastised them severely. Calling the coppers just makes them drive further...drunk.

The more I think about it, the OP is a fucking retarded asshole. Why do you have to fuck up some kids' good time? Did you grow up in a nunnery? Huh? Huh?

Youth is the time when you can have fun with no worries and there is always some asshole who wants to ruin it for you because he never had a good time when he was a kid.

Fuck you, OP!

If those kids can learn to have their good time without inconveniencing others then let them.
Bit if they get in the way then they pay the consequences.

Good job, OP.

In this state that means you could smell a beer. Drinking 1 beer as a 200 pound male will put you over the legal limit unless you sit and do nothing for about an hour.

OP, from the replies here, YOU are in the wrong. You SHOULD have ignored the kids getting drunk and let them go driving around and plow into a car or two...maybe killing a family in the process. Hey, it's all part of the fun of being a kid, right? :roll:


While I'm sure most of us did similar things in our youth, we also knew someone could drop the dime on us, or just have the misfortune to get caught...it was part of the "game."

The OP did the correct thing IMO.

:D Save the world? Hell, not me. IMO, MOST of it should be turned into nuk-u-ler glass...and everyone I don't like should be murdered :p

Good thing you caught them when you did. They were probably working up the courage to break into your house.

Blatant underage drinking while blocking an intersection? Who does that? These kids were asking to get busted.
