Social Responsibility?!

[Str8 Jacket]

Im bored......

I work across the way from a Mill Liquorsave shop. About 10 mins ago one of my co workers came running up to me to tell me that she had just witnessed a group of say 13-14yr old school girls (in uniform) give some 20+ yr old bloke some $$ and an alcohol order. She promptly rung the mill and described the guy to them telling them that he was buying school girls alcohol. A coupla mins later the guy comes back with no alcohol and a lady from the store and said something to the girls who then scurried of somewhere. He didnt give their $$ back which I thought was a tad mean...
I jokingly told her that she should have let the guy get their alcohol and then go down and steal it of them, I was joking but she didnt think I was and said I was a bitch, didnt bother me as im used to it but I do find it a little amusing, especially since she's supposed to be working!

So tell me, what would you guy's do in this situation? Its bound to happen again!

[Disco Dan]

You did the right thing, but even if you set up camp outside that shop to make sure it did not happen again.. they will go elsewhere.

You saw something wrong acted on it. No need to worry about it, parents problem. I am sure if someone else noticed similar scenario they would do the same thing.

[mstriumph]

Im torn, but..... Go and slap your co-worker for me and tell her to mind er own business.

I remember getting sprung for smoking at a similar age at a rugby league field which backed on to our school buy some bitch in a house across the way (Yes we were that stoopid to do it plain view buy hey...) by some interfering cow, so....

[Str8 Jacket]

hehehe, im definately not one to judge as I started drinking, smoking and general naughtiness very early on in life. I dont think I would've done what my co worker did just for that reason. But who know's if it were someone I knew I just dunno........

[BiK3RChiK]

You did great! Kids will be kids, but at that age they just shouldn't be fooling around with alcohol. You just might have saved them from being taken advantage of by some loser!

[Luckylegs]

Yeh, that was why I was torn, but I do have an aversion to people sticking their noses in. I am positive there are heaps of thirteen and fourteen year olds in this country who are more than capable of getting hold of "some" alcohol and having some fun without major issue.

Therefore while I also dont agree with what your co-worker did (and dont think I would do it) I would in most likelyhood be doing something if said girls had consumed the alcohol and no longer appeared "safe" or capable of "taking care of themselves".

[Luckylegs]

As per my last post, there is still a difference between buying alcohol and when and wear and how you use said alcohol. I mean if they were heading home to consume a bottle of cheap wine between a couple or three of em then they were (most likely) out of harms way..... barring of course being caught by parents

[Mikkel]

I guess the question really is this:

What action would you prefer an observer to take if they witnessed YOUR daugther trying to source alcohol by proxy?

Personally I don't know because I don't have any kids. But I'm thinking I'd be thankful that someone wasn't afraid to interfere.

[Finn]

Well done Str8 Jacket. Pregant 13 year old school girls shouldn't be drinking.

[CookMySock]

[...] and general naughtiness very early on in life.oooh what sort of general naughtiness ? do tell ! :devil2: :clap: :whistle: LOL :dodge: ewps scuse !

DB

[Ragingrob]

What about the guy who was gonna buy it though lol that's illegal too I hope the shop lady had a talk to him.

[JimO]

back in the old days you could go into the Captain Cook bottlestore in your school uniform and get served

[Deano]

Considering the damage and grief that is caused by (people under the influence of )alcohol in this country - good on her !!

[Finn]

Bet you looked real good in a girls uniform.

One of the great things about being a parent is the ability to think you will do everything a certain way and then be aghast when you find yourself doing it exactly the same way your parent(s) did.... :whistle:

[Str8 Jacket]

So what would ya'll do if I told you the guy that was gonna buy it for them was a G I N G E R ! :eek5:

Probably slow down

[boostin]

I would never have got my hands on alcohol when I was that age had it not been for the good people that bought it for me when they were asked outside piss shops.

I think people forget what it is like to be a young person, or is that just called maturing?

The main reason this country is the way it is, Because not enough people stick there noses in....your last paragraph is a typical reaction by New Zealanders on a whole...Lets park the ambulance at the bottom and see how many people we can catch.

I dont agree with busy bodies for small things , But alcohol and even ciggie`s cost this country millions in wasted taxpayers money, and people always say, but it only affects me so sod off......well Im letting you Know as a mild asmatic any smoke or even smoke residue from another driver whos been driving my truck and I can have a mild attack, more of a discomfort but it still affects me even 2 or 3 days later......just like the hundreds of people that are assaulted on thurs,fri, and saturday nights after some drunken bozo smacks them one because hes full of balls and bravado.

So I say good on you and keep it up.

Im allowed to forget , its called old age :)

Probably think he's expecting to get some tonight.

[Str8 Jacket]

I just read this article in Stuff: http://http://www.stuff.co.nz/4447202a11.html

Girls outta control or what?!

[James Deuce]

You freaking spoil sport!

[avgas]

i would have sold them grape juice

[Coldrider]

At what age should girls be to have their stomach pumped out for the first time?

[Str8 Jacket]

At what age should girls be to have their stomach pumped out for the first time?

I was 10 or 11 when I first had my stomach pumped.....

[Coldrider]

I was 10 or 11 when I first had my stomach pumped.....

That is not young, that is a child.

[Str8 Jacket]

That is not young, that is a child.

Yes, I was a wild child. Some would say that im lucky to still be alive.

[Coldrider]

That is why you dobbed him in.
Chidren need protecting, teenagers need guidance, and some adults need a good kick up the arse.

[Mikkel]

If I thought I could deal with raising children the way my parents did then I probably would have been at it already. However, I do not and I have not so far.


That is why you dobbed him in.

Come on now - read the first post and then go from there. She did not dob him in - her co-worker did.

[Number One]

As a mum who wouldn't be against buying my boy some alcohol (when he's a lot older) so that he can drink it in the company of adults...I think good on your co-worker.

Alcohol in the hands of young girls/boys is not always a safe bet and waiting to see if they get in trouble first before you intervene is just as someone else said, parking the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

I might be a busy body AND a spoil sport but would rather know I'd tried to do something than just watched on, worried, not done anything just to find out later that 3 underage girls in school uniforms were found beaten and raped in the centre of town.

Might sound highly dramatic but there is a fair amount of nasty shit going on in the centre of Welly lately and guess what? There's a lot of it being caused by and perpetrated against underage drunks.

If anyone see's my boy trying to get booze bought for him by someone else (probably in roughly 10 or so years time...he is only 4 afterall and I don't think I have driven him to drink yet) you have my permission to stick yer nose in and prevent the sale going through.

THOUGH- you can give ME the booze money when you get denied thanks!:clap:

[Coldrider]

Come on now - read the first post and then go from there. She did not dob him in - her co-worker did.
I stand corrected, I'll buy myself some booze on the way home.

[Shadows]

Nark. You probably cost the poor Ginga a root too.

[quote=Str8 Jacket;1483042]Im bored......

and said I was a bitch, didnt bother me as im used to it quote]

your not a bitch:msn-wink:

but if i was that guy.. i would have taken the $$$ grabed a bottle of bourbon and taken it home... and forgotten all about the young ones.. hahahahahaha thanks dumb arses:devil2:

[hurricane_r]

WHAT???

dude thats normal, they get drunk then i pick em up ,
when i was 13 i expected people to buy mine, so if youngsters
ask me, i return the un-writin accient favour that has been passed on from our ancestors and from us to the generations to come.

long live the sacred code..

[ynot slow]

Tough choice at times.

Can remember going into a bottle store when 19 or so,guy said how old?slapped down a $20 note and said same as this note,worked that time,next time didn't,turned out there were cops in the public bar and he didn't want to get him or me busted,at the time it was more the buyer who was charged rather than seller,the seller could say he showed me id last night and get away from prosecution,so I was told then.

Know a mate who was given UE results and passed,went to bottle store in uniform and got a slab of LionBrown,shit how tatses have changed.

At present my eldest girl is at uni,she is counting down the sleeps till she is 18,she gets or got her mum to get her drinks when needed,although a six pak is the most she was ever bought,have seen her at family parties and doesn't drink to extreme,mind you that could change in a week or so.When they had the start of uni piss up she said heaps of girls were using false id's,same old story go to bog through the id out window,can't kids think up any new ideas.

[BiK3RChiK]

One night out working after dark, a girl around the age of 13 or 14 'fell' against my work van while I was sitting in the drivers seat! Gave me a hell of a shock! I rang the cops straight away!! Asking for trouble I reckon... Where the hell are the parents??? They'd probably have plenty to say if anything happened to their girl!

M

[hurricane_r]

man you guys are pussy's

[BiK3RChiK]

I don't think so! Too many young ones get drugged and raped under the influence and then are too shit scared to say anything to anyone... Stop the carnage, I say!! Good on you Str8 Jacket!

[hurricane_r]

of course,

[lb99]

back in the old days you could go into the Captain Cook bottlestore in your school uniform and get served

ha ha, and wests bottle store right across the road from kings...... they tended not to notice the blazers and schoolbags.
dont forget the kensington, the bay view hotel, and of course the fitzroy for booze on sunday morning. teenager could (and did) have a lot of fun back then....

[Jiminy]

I am positive there are heaps of thirteen and fourteen year olds in this country who are more than capable of getting hold of "some" alcohol and having some fun without major issue.

Which country are you living in? I'm not a big fan of 'Big Brother', but I don't believe that there are many youngsters in NZ who know how to handle alcohol. At least that's my impression every week-end when wandering down town.

There is a difference between getting drunk while having fun, and getting trashed to have fun because that's what everybody else is doing. Hell, I don't see many 18-20 year old understanding the difference, so I wouldn't expect them to know when they're 13-14...

[slimjim]

yea should have bitch-slapped the bitch ' fuck goodee good lol

[JimO]

Bet you looked real good in a girls uniform.

whatever turns YOU on finster

[quallman1234]

Those were the days, i remeber buying 8 dozen with a mate one day, when we were 14, he was quite big for his age and had a average fakey, only one diary would take it and that was in petone so it was a long walk!

A couple more days till im 18! Ek! (27th!)

P.s +1 for bitch slapping.
