I punched a kid

[gc82000]

Ok I did not punch him but I really wanted too.

There is this kid in the local PB league here that just irratates me. always touching my equipment, tools and other stuff. I really dont know him, but he plays with some of my soccer players. So he feels that he can come up to me and start going through my bag like it was cool. The first time I cuaght him, I yelled at him and told him to stay away. The second time I pushed him and he went behind one of my soccer player. At this point I was already furious, but he still came up to me like it was all some kind of joke that nobody understood but me. Images of me laying out this seventh grader came popping joyiously in my mind.

Now I dont mind him or other ppl asking questions or for some advice. But dont touch my stuff. And this kid asks the stupidest questions, like if you get shot in the mouth does it count? or if I shot someone but it does not break do I shot him again?

Some advice on how to deal with this kid would be great appreciated.

just remember you were once a kid like that also...

Nope.
I can honestly say I was never like that.
When someone told me, if the paint break on you, you're out. Didn't matter where it was on me, i knew it was OUT.
If it didn't break, keep shooting.
I also didn't touch anyone else's things.
I was a newbie, i'll admit that, we all were.
But I was never like that kid.

Hell no I was ten when i started playing, but I was raised with reespect. I would never go into someone elses things if I did not have permission. I might have been a newb but I was never disrepectful.

Just talk to him and tell him to leave your things alone. Do it before you assault him

[mag88888]

i agree. give him a talk. or touch his stuff. see how he likes it.

thats how u end up in trouble.

its just murphys law, the little female dogs always get away.


thats why you play a little game called iron man




hey, if 6 people happen to sneak on the field and help you, so be it, its iron man

[MadPSIence]

goggle him, lol

on the field of course...

[gortman44]

ya, you got to let him know not to touch your stuff because obviosly he wasnt raised seeing anything wrong with it. Im only 18 but I have ran into a couple of kids like that in my woodshop. I am serious with my woodworking and when they come over and just pick the stuff up, I almost throw a tantrum like a kid. All i do is ask him not to touch it and be almost like a freind. But you cant tell him or force him to do anything. When you ask him, give him a reason, even if it is a lie. Hell respect you then.

I live near LA. Trust me, I know.

dont lay a hand on him. it is never worth it.

[gc82000]

on s the field of course...

I was going to shoot him in the neck on the field maybe.

that is just the thing he does not listen even when I do talk to him. I tell them not to double up in the bunkers he does it anyways. I can say all the thingd I say, such as "either you are shotting, being shot at or you are moving", or "refill before you move", or "dont mill your tank " would not not put it past him . But he will not take in and make use of it.
He is the type of player that will bunker down when he thinks ppl are shooting at him.


No respect this one

But can I throw some balls at then

[CKY_Alliance]

dont lay a hand on him. it is never worth it.

Oh it is worth it.But dont do it (im not promoting violence. Im just kidding) There are some 12 year olders at my field that are "refs" and that makes them gods so they can do whatever the F they want(so they think) It does get annoying but talk to him. like everyone else said he probably wasnt taught to respect others belongings.

[onedude36]

^^^
I would never do that without asking unless we were friend for awhile...

obviously you two arent friends...

Any way, you could try to scare him so he will leave you alone.

[thorn]

im 13, and in seventh grade. but i try my best to stay at least 5 ft away from others equipment, and get the owners permission before i go closer and look at it.

[Maggot6]

Well, it seems that my friend who I have never really went paintballing without and I always ask eachother before we touch eachothersstuff. Even if you two WERE friends, it would be understandable if you got annoyed at him messing around your gear bag.

Choice #1 - If you do not care of consequences(and are aware), and know his parents wont get involved, just straight up ***** him out, and don't be afraid to back down. If he persists in saying "hey man I was just joking" or something similar, just remind him in the least polite way possible that you are not his friend... And if he still "pisses you off" do what was in your thread title...

Choice #2 - Tell him that you don't like the people going into your things. And do this in a fashion that you are not completely blaming him, and so he sorta has an empathy for you. And if he still does it, Just get a little more enforcive, and say you better stop going through my stuff. And if it still goes,, call his parents and tell them that their kid is going through your things, and wont stop. And tell them that you would appreciate it if they told him what he was allowed to do or not to do. They should get the picture

Hint - Go with choice 2...
