This kid at the airport was annoying me with his toy truck (like rolling it on my stuff) and his parents weren’t doing anything about it after asking twice, so I grabbed it from him and threw it in the garbage

Am I in the wrong

I love that, but you should have thrown him in the garbage instead!

No offense but that sounds a little unhinged.

You were right to be annoyed, the parents were wrong to do anything about it. We weren’t there but if you really asked the parents twice I could understand your frustration.

And how did the kid and their parents react to your alleged vandalism?

Good thing is, if it happens at the airport again, you can just get ICE to deescalate.

Forget about right or wrong, how did the kid react and what did the parents do?

Everyone sucks here, but mostly you. The parents should have been controlling/disciplining their kid, yes, but the toy wasn't your property to dispose of. You are also the adult in the situation, and you should have removed yourself from it.

Thanks! You also suck for having zero sense of humor.

His parents were probably grateful. Feigning their own anger. I Was in a similar situation about a year ago, tops. I stood bewildered as my favorite 1:1 scale model and make was taken from me. I would’ve turned down the NOFX.
