I seriously don't know what is wrong with kids these days.

My brother and I met up with an old high school friend last night at a 7-11 to catch up on life. We are waiting for the clerk to check us out and this skinny little hispanic punk who was maybe 16 years old walks up to me and says "hey man, can you buy me a bottle?" I look at him dead in the eyes and say "absolutely not." He walks to the door where his friends are (about 15 feet away) and yells "well F*$K you then!" and his buddy yells "F*$K YOU!" as well.

I'm not even going to count the laundry list of offenses that purchasing alcohol for a minor might cost me in the event of something going wrong, but what the hell is wrong with kids these days? YOU asked me to do something illegal, I told you no, just walk away. My goodness... my brother and I would have physically DEMOLISHED these kids if we would have so chosen that route, but luckily for them, we are tax-paying, law abiding citizens who actually have to answer for our actions and have families we need to take care of, so I wasn't about to beat some high schooler's face in the night before Fathers Day.

I just needed to get that off of my chest.

Lucky for those kids you guys pay taxes.

You should have bought them a bottle of MILK.

Should just call the cops...maybe the punks had warrants!

I actually seriously mulled that idea over... looking back I should have. I was just so furious I had to take all of my energy to keep myself from not stomping their faces in.

They left shortly after that. I think me staring them down for about 5 minutes made them think they should probably leave before I stepped out of the store.

I read the original post and guessed your location was Aurora before looking. I was right, what do I win?

This would have been a great response.

Just say "Well son, I am Off Duty, any here have an objection?"

Impersonating?

Maybem but you might make him think twice!

That was my first though ... saying something along the lines of "Do you make it a habit of asking off duty cops to buy you booze?"

"Off duty" what? I like it.

The hitchers that thumb as you approach and flip you off when you pass always make me laugh.
