Annoying Kid
So I was standing outside having a cup of coffee with my buddy last night, up at one of our local gas station/mini markets. In rolls this 18/19ish old kid in a souped up japanese something or other. The first words out of his mouth as he walks up...I'll bet my car is faster than yours. I thought to myself, here we go. He proceeds to tell me all about his car, and what it can do better than my Vette. He says it can do over 200mph bla bla bla. He then asks me how many cylinders my Vette has, by this time, Mr Know It All has me irritated, I just want him to go away. I say...It's a Vette, what do you think it has in it?. He says...V8 or V12? I say V12? There is no V12 in a Vette. Him...My mom had a 2010 Corvette, and hers came with a V12. I said no, no it didn't, Vette's don't come with a V12. Well hers did he says, you don't know much about Corvette's for a guy driving one. This kid refused to just shut up, until I said I could make a 74 Yugo go fast with the right amount of money. My god, what is it with kids these days, absolute idiots, with mouths that run like an *** on laxatives.

The kid does sound like a jerk but be it an adult or a kid you can't generalize....not all kids (or adults) are like that. It's a special God-given talent. 
Take solace, chances are one day he'll look back and think my God, I was a real ***#%^@ when I was younger.

You are right, I certainly can't lump everyone into the same crowd.

Well, when the V12 crap came up, I don't think I could have smiled if I'd wanted to, I most likely had a deer in the headlights look on my face. I'm on my 3rd Vette, never have I had someone do that, and continue to go on and on as he did. My friends left eyebrow musta stayed a half inch above the right during the entire conversation, looked like he had some plastic surgey go horribly wrong.

I usually just follow their leads with things like: "Really?"...... "Oh wow!!"..... "That's awesome!"....."Oh yeah?".......etc., etc., etc........You know he's wrong so there's no use getting upset about it.....
