Remember the tail.
Youthful indiscretion, we were all there, acid washed jeans, parachute pants & leg warmers (for the girls) bleached tails, (yah, I had one). "It must be eighty something" (great country song). In my job I have noticed youths are losing their social skills due to cell phones, texting, neglect from two working parents. Acknowledge them always, you will be surprised, sometimes they actually say hello back.

Ok, I was stopped at a red light the other day and watched as two teenagers (13-14) crossed the crosswalk in front of the Jeep. They were typical skaters with long hair, wearing all black, etc... My immediate thought was what a waste (yes I judged them based on how they looked). They kept staring as they crossed and made it across the street. I had the top down and could hear them talking and was waiting for a smart ass remark. They turned to me and said "nice Jeep". Suddenly the halos appeared above their heads and I thought to myself, what nice young men. Well maybe not, but I was caught off guard and could only manage to say thanks. Goes to show you that even potential juvenile delinquents can appreciate a good looking Jeep.

So let me get this straight. They're not a "waste" and possibly redeemed themselves as "potential juvenile delinquents" only because they commented positively on your Jeep?

Wow... what a horrible life view. I'm sure if you saw me, you'd probably lump me in that same group. I'm 27, have piercings, skate, snowboard, wakeboard, ride a sport bike, etc. I also happen to own a Jeep, which I guess you would consider my redeeming quality. Ignore the fact that I'm a professional systems administrator, speak 4+ programming languages, speak 2.5 human languages, work for the company that (likely) provides all of your online search results and am going to be buying a house in the next month or two. All that and I'm a Republican (Libertarion , when it's not an election cycle) in California. Who cares though, since I look like what you'd initially judge as a "waste."
I think you've officially branded yourself a bigot. Congrats. I'm gonna go "waste" some more of my life... on my boat.

i like how you dis yourself and cry that somebody judged a teenager when your username is "Junk"... ohhhhh the irony.
People Judge Other People. - Fact. it's reality. some people don't like it, some cry about it, some brush it off and move on. Some just don't care.
anyway, good story.
i'm a teenager and i'll say one thing, some teenagers need to be judged by what they look like.
