I was riding my bike home just now when a group of kids lobbed a big chunk of snow at me when I passed them on the street before running away and cackling.

Not to sound like yells-at-cloud but when I was a kid me and my friends wouldn't have dared to mess with random adults like that

I'm blaming those damn tiktoks

That reminds me of this story from years back:

One time, I was walking down the street minding my own business. These chuds started throwing snowballs at me from a distant rooftop. You can imagine their surprise when I not only picked up a snowball and returned fire… but I also managed to hit one of them square in the face from what they probably thought was an impossible distance (I was at the bottom of a hill and they were on a rooftop up the hill from me). It was a lucky throw but I walked away feeling like such a badass.

Obviously, this probably sounds like a fake story where everyone clapped at the end but I swear on the ghost of Stalin that it’s 100% true. You gotta believe me! I have an absolute cannon for an arm.

Thank you for reading my anecdote.

Naw I believe that. We used to play dodgeball at recess when I was in elementary using red rubber balls. We got really good at hitting moving targets. Since you were only allowed to hit people below the waist, some kids got good enough they could lob the ball across a basketball court and hit people in the toe.

Adults threw snowballs at you?
