I made the right choice, but feel strange

<p>So a very close friend of mine called me a couple minutes ago and asked if I wanted to go egging houses. Had he called me a year ago, or even six months ago I would have not hesitated probably because I was less mature etc. Its not so much the fact that I'm egging someones house (we were actually going to get a friend of ours) but the consequences. I hope to be able to work in some sort of gov. position (CIA, FBI, etc) and obviously having something like this on my record might and probably would ruin my chances.</p>

<p>I guess it falls back to peer pressure and the "standing for what you believe might not always be popular...etc" but nonetheless I feel strange, almost like I'm abandoning him. If you are going to rip me for anything, save it for later, thanks.</p>

<p>I kind of understand how you feel (I think). Sometimes I feel like I have two personalities- one that wants to do all kinds of crazy things and the other that is afraid of the consequences.</p>

3

<p>we all know the feeling...I think.</p>

<p>i see you want to work in the government...so do I!</p>

<p>haha. they're just eggs. it's not like you're saying no to attacking a dog or something.</p>

<p>and if you would somehow get into it with the law, your record is wiped clean when you turn 18. no worries.</p>

<p>That doesn't mean you should do it, leah377. Anyway, my main motivation not to would be that there is no real fun that can be derived from throwing eggs. Too much effort. There isn't much of a legal consequence for egging houses, but you know, it could start a descent down a slippery slope. I see that you've matured and actually improved, but some people will eventually justify something by saying, "Well, if egging houses is OK, stealing could be, too."</p>

<p>We'd all feel strange in your circumstances. Maybe for different reasons, but I think we've all had that general feeling at some time.</p>

<p>why would anyone want to do something that stupid
what joy do you get out of that lol</p>

7

<p>just throw eggs at people not houses</p>

<p>^ Are you being serious?
This story makes me nostalgic, i used to feel i was ''abandoning'' my friend, however i realized we go different ways and diverse goals. I wanted to be serious academically, while he wanted to fool around all day and get in trouble.</p>

<p>As far as egging, I guess its not for everyone. And maybe the legal consequences aren't too big, but I'd rather not have something like that on my record. Thanks for the responses guys!</p>

<p>egg your friends house if you want to so badly
he won't press charges</p>

<p>You could get your friends house, but eggs are a step too far. They normally are a pain in the ass to get rid of. Plus they smell. </p>

<p>I think you made the right choice, only break the law if you have to, not for stupid ****.</p>

<p>Egging = fun. </p>

<p>But if you're looking for some real fun and a test of true skill, Ding Dong Ditch ftw :)</p>

<p>put a dead animal in someone's mailbox</p>
