Some kids need to learn things the hard way. Usually, we have sympathy on this site for kids who get unnecessarily scolded by tightly-wound adults, but this one is a different story.

Here, we have a pair of misbehaving miscreants who kept picking on the Redditor's younger brother. When the Redditor confronted the kids in his brother's defense, he assumed this would be the end of it. Unfortunately, the kids made the reckless decision to get back at the Original Poster (OP) by throwing eggs at his car. OP caught them in the act and drove all the way to one of the kids' homes. When the kid's militant father saw the damage, he and OP banded together to ensure that the kids never messed with OP's family again (and to ensure that the car would be thoroughly cleaned).

Keep scrolling below for the full saga. When you're done, check out this post about some mildly infuriating HR fiascos.

    Throw Eggs at my Car? Have fun washing and waxing for hours! For a couple of weeks since school started, two neighborhood middle school kids (they are brothers) have

    been messing with my brother (also middle school aged) at school, on the bus, and in the neighborhood. Nothing very serious but super annoying things like taking his backpack on the bus, calling him names, and taking his toys at the neighborhood pool.

    He told me (college aged) about it and asked me to help so the next time they came along while we were at the pool I chewed them out for a few minutes and d they d in near sh themselves. That seemed to fix it for a few days after which I became their target.

    Now they didn't really mess with me directly, but instead my car. With my parents' help, I recently bought a 2021 Toyota Camry TRD V6. I have a much older car too from high school (gift from Dad), but this one is really my pride and joy. Ask any of my neighbors and they'll known

    how much I love it. I wash it pretty much every weekend lol. Now just yesterday when I was almost done applying a coat of wax, I ran inside to grab a glass of water (It's 97 degrees here in Atlanta smh). I walk out to the driveway to see those mfs running away with an empty

    Tarn Master1985 · 12 hr. ago Wow...a Dad that acts like a Dad and not a friend to his kids. You got lucky my friend. I would take him a 6er of whatever you think he would like.

    Mudrag 11 hr. ago Although not eggs, while young my brothers and I spent a day "playing" on the parents minivan. Muddy hand and footprints all over the vehicle. We ended up having to wash it every day for a week as punishment after being yelled at by our lumberjack father. Never did it again lol ③

    snappyland 10 hr. ago I'm glad you got the eggs cleaned off quickly. Roughly 40 years ago, my car got egged (presumably by angry young clients of the non-profit I worked for back then).

    Trouble was that I didn't go out to the parking lot for maybe 8 hours after when I suspect the eggs were thrown. I thoroughly washed my car at that point, but the paint job was ruined. There were "pits" where the top layers of paint were gone. I ended up getting the whole car re-finished to try to keep it from rusting.

    Maybe automotive paints are better now, but back then eggs could really damage a car.
