I Made a Kid Cry Yesterday

[Zedaine]

I just dont think it is acceptable to abuse them.

Abuse? I never knew telling someone that they are a liar is abuse...

Quit trying to act so mature, you already showed that by calling Altimas a "JACK@$$"

[magman#1]

hey i live in hoover pretty close to that galyans and i went to play at pbq today.

[Altimas]

Hey magman hopefully I'll see ya out there soon!! Going to the beach this coming weekend but the next I may be out there.


Anyways, all I did was tell the truth... maybe bluntly and at a higher voice level than neccesary but the truth is the truth.

As I can see the neigh sayers are in the vast minority.


Edit: I think he was really really close to 10ish...maybe not even old enough to play. I would certaintly card him

[dansim]

no theres simply no excuse to be rude to any customer if you work in an enviroment in wich you interact with people who are customers, you may not like it but you gotta be nice, sick or not, making someone cry is bs , why push away potential customers, if i was your boss youd be done, im not saying let people walk on you but you dont need to be a douchebag, wich you were, and then you brag about? someone else needs to grow up, not shivors but all of you for praising such a bs act

okay so calling someone a liar for no reason is acceptable to you?


ps. i love when 16yo preach about maturity

He had a good enough reason to call him a liar to me. And if the kid was 10, he definetely has some problems if he ran off crying just by being called a liar. Who would of thought the kid would of cried by being called a liar? Hm?

And by reading through this thread it sounds like the boss had a great laugh watching the video.

But here is the real question, what would of everyone else done if they were in Altimas shoes? (Stuffed up head, nose full of snot)

Guy...10 years old??? 10yr olds still play with action figures and they are supposed to handle being trounced by someone that they probably looked up to?

If his boss is not man/woman enough to care about ALL his customers then I hope he/she isnt the owner for long.

Here is a radical idea...stay home and get well maybe?

While the odds are high that the kid was blowing smoke it isnt a lock. With battered hand-me-down Angels he might have or share one and his brother might use a .40 caliber RAM4 marker. Which looks damn "real" to me. Naturally the 250 yrd comment is BS but his brother might have spouted that nonsense.

I've seen kids starting to paintball at age 9. If they are 10 I think they can handle being called a liar.

And my question was if you were in his shoes, also meaning right at that moment the kid was there. You would of just went home right there and got better? It's pretty hard to be patient and nice to people when you are sick, I've noticed that this week (down with a cold) and people who are annoying seem to be 10 times more annoying. Most parents wont let you miss school if you just have a cold, so maybe his boss wouldn't let him skip work just because of a cold?

Well shivors this is fun, keep posting, I'll be anxiously waiting to reply :)

I guess its pretty easy to say that since your not sick or having a bad day at the moment. But then again, maybe you don't let how your feeling control your actions (which is good.) I don't know what kind of person you are but what you saying you are is a pretty patient person. Altimas was patient with the kid at first but let everything build up and with the help of feeling like crud, blew up. People do it all the time (especially us teenagers). But who knows if Altimas decision changed the life of the kid or not, the kid may have forgotten it by now, or it has scarred him for life and is slowly destroying him, either way I don't care, I'll probably never meet or communicate with this kid in any way.
But I guess I'll say that if I were in Altimas shoes and feeling cruddy at the moment, I may have blown in his face, or I may do something else, you never know until it happens I guess.

my mom does play paintball with a real gun too they take special bullets that at the tip is filled with paint

Do you have pictures of these bullets? I want to see these. But, I doubt they are the same things as a gun that shoots a real bullet. I wouldn't want a pointed thing with paint in it hitting me at over 2000 FPS. Or are the shells designed somehow so they can be shot out of a real gun but going at a speed of around 300 FPS?

And btw, the definition of GUN is "A weapon consisting of a metal tube from which a projectile is fired at high velocity into a relatively flat trajectory." Paintball markers can be considered "real guns". Even be considered a weapon since they can kill someone if used incorrectly. Just felt like mentioning that

[AGDlover]

ok as soon as i get ym scaner up and workin i'll get some pics

[shivors]

Only "real" guns I know of would be the RAM 4's and Airsoft guns with 6mm paint rounds.

RAM 4 ammo:


Air Soft paint:

I was actually thinking about getting an airsoft gun this year now that I know that they have decent biodegradable pellets. (Cant now that I am going to D-Day, Shatnerball, and two local senario games) Saw a couple of videos that showed mortars, M60, claymores, etc. etc. that made it look teriffic.
