No you key their cars in the parking lot and tell them you're older and have more insurance.

Okay, but that wouldn’t be a Clueless reference, and it’s a crime.

Right over your head.

You must be a lot older than me because no, I don’t know that.

Your movie knowledge is poor then.

No, yours is. Kathy Bates didn’t key anyone’s car. She repeatedly rammed it. If you're going to use an example, get it right.

I wish you would name the pool. I’d sure want to know if my kid was doing this. But I understand why you’d rather not, OP. I’m really sorry this happened.

Damage the cars in some way. I figured people would go nuts if it was suggested even joking someone ram their cars. The Clueless reference isn't exactly on point either b/c in the movie it was known that Cher was a virgin and a bad driver. OP knows nothing about these teens. It was a low blow that might not even make sense here since we're going to split hairs and all.

Well, I wasn't wrong. OMG that's a crime!

I’m so sorry, OP. Sometimes the only consolation is knowing that you got to spend more of your life taking decorum for granted than they ever will. I think what you said was perfect.

PPs who have insights: would it have helped OP to snap a photo of them to attach to a complaint to the board? Or is the photo-snapping too much of a risky escalation.

[Anonymous]

Sorry this happened to you. I think you handled it well.

[Anonymous]

Good thing they didn’t film you while you were defending yourself, like what happened to the nurse of a citibike.
I am sorry that happened to you. Not sure if it’s viable to complain the pool management, but I so wish you would.

[Anonymous]

I am sorry, OP. That sucks.

You know what annoys me? I bet they are swim team kids, which means YOUR pool membership is subsidizing THEIR annoying swim team.

[Anonymous]

You’re classy and mature, OP. I’m sorry you were subjected to that. I would have told those C’s to F off.

I’m sorry that happened, OP. I saw teens at the pool and one politely asked if they could have our table since we were leaving. All polite. But they wanted something from us.

Those who are teens now were stuck inside for 1.5-2 years during COVID and didn’t mature normally. They are immature and sometimes rude and bratty.

My older kid has noticed this immaturity in an inability of the younger kids to handle and resolve issues. Ninth graders were acting like sixth graders a few years ago and some probably still have growing up to do.

What is wrong with them politely asking if they could have your table when you leave? That's the type of behavior we should all want from our teens. Am I missing something?
