Vicious circle ...

 

NO consequences for the kids actions ... so they keep pushing further and further ....

 

 

So what effective recource is left for the adults ??

 

 

An adult male chasing after young girls in his undies .... not his brightest moment !  At the very least ... put on some clothes.

 

 

 

We live in a cul.de.sac.  Few years back an 8 year old from a side road decided this was a nice spot to kick his soccer ball.  No issues.  He then started kicking it against my one week old garage doors !!!  I walked out and asked him not to kick it against the garage door .... twit kept on doing it while I was talking to him ....  I properly hosed him down !!!  He ran home dripping wet .... yes, his parents walked over immediately .... had I touched the brat it could have escalated.

hope you hosed the parents too!!

So their defence of the brats was all puffery…

clearly they were not too convinced the kids deserved to be defended

Yeah, no excuse for an angry physical response with someone’s kid bruh.  As for sleep deprived and pressured situations, we’ve been through several with former colleagues and I working up to 68 hours non-stop (edit: full steam, not relay, no breaks for anyone) on extreme medical rescues (including a loaded bus in a river at the bottom of a mountain gorge) on coffee and energy drinks.  And long hours on this:  https://www.bowmanslaw.com/insights/shipping-aviation-and-logistics/greatest-maritime-rescue-ever/

No-one in our teams ever thought that stress or sleep deprivation was an excuse for being unprofessional.  Just saying.  I’m not surprised that MvdP was apologetic for being the angry oom in an onderbroek.

I disagree. They poked the bear. His bokkie had already asked nicely to stop. I have no problem with naughty kids being chased away. I have no problem with them falling over when they get chased. 

Physically grabbing, potayto potarto if that is assault. I know Chopper Read is gone but someone needs to tell little Lucy what to do about her carpet burn. If the kids are old enough to be left without adult supervision then they need to act a bit adult too. Calling the police, pull the other one surely.

 

Mvdp reaction is totally understandable, the guy is well known for his cycling ability not negotiation skills. You complaining he needs to get dressed properly first sounds like you haven't really thought about how this played out.

I didn't think this would still be a story, but has it been made known if mvdp ever called hotel management and if other rooms also complained? It would be weird if they only targeted one door to toktokkie.

So this from someone who has never warmed to MvdP’s personality but admires his abilities .

will never forget that Amstel Gold win of his 3 years ago.

so reassuring to see the many hubbers on this thread that can be counted on to ALWAYS take the right decision in difficult situations . Just wondering how many of those cool and calculated heads ever had the pressure of a whole cycling mad nation expecting them to win a gold medal the next day.

The best post of this thread...  I hope those 2 angels get burnt... as well as their so called parents...

Got it, that there are differing views.  Also, I’m only 20% less inclined to trust the opinion of someone who puts the words “his” and "bokkie” next to one another…. 🤣

vdP apologised, but we can all take comfort that he didn’t go all Aussie...

Hotel security a bit slapgat as well.

Also, imagine if these 2 little angels had knocked on the door where the narcos were doing a sensitive drug deal! Oh dear.

My apologies, It would appear that the phrase I used would indicate that Ms Bertel's is a possession of MvdP? She does not belong to him like a bicycle, a trophy, a stroopwafel or a career. Just because she works as a model and "in marketing" for Porsche it doesn't mean she is a piece of meat to display like what the people who run her IG account do

https://www.instagram.com/roxannebertels/?hl=en

I could have just said, the bokkie that MvdP is currently dating and there would be no confusion over the possession..

 

 

 

ps. just incase it is not obviously clear this entire post should be in comic sans but admin removed that option.

In a culture of cancel culture and projection, conspiracy theories fit in nicely. Especially if it's someone's favourite sporting icon. 
The irony is almost entertaining.

[DieselnDust]

The cancel culture is the outcry to two brats being disciplined.

The world is phooqued.

20 years ago when a dog barked you went out side to check why....

In 2022 when a dog barks your neighbour phones the cops to come and fetch the dog while the reason the dog was barking is walking down the road ith the other neighbours camera, laptop and iphone.

The neighbours berate the dog owner for not having control of the dog, the cops for not catching the thief and protest the conditions the dog is kept under at the SPCA while its owner tries to sort out the issue (And probably getting robbed at the same time)

Human Beings are their own worst enemy.

Gen X was probably the last generation to grow up with their immediate community taking an interest in how you were raised. Your neighbour would set you straight not call the cops. Discipline was handed out there and then and in mostly metered fashion. Yes some people would go overboard. There was and always will be broken people.

But in today's society where if the teacher doesn't tell the parent how good and sweet that naughty little twat, Johny, is the school gets sued. Millenials were the start but its the Gen Z were we have  a real problem. All this gender neutrality , identify as a satellite K*K is going to take us back to before the bronze age. They're the fools buying into green washing and woke movements. Those are the knobs we should cancel
