The East Bay Express is launching a new feature about people behaving badly. People sort of like you. Actually, you’re precisely who we have in mind.
We’re calling it “Bad Citizen,” and we’ll be highlighting your least-shining moments. Secret grudges. Private regrets. Bone-headed blunders. You know, funny stories about the dark side of humanity.
Each week we’ll ask a new question, and print the most entertaining answer to an earlier question. Submissions should be less than 250 words. To protect the guilty, you need only use your first name. Winners will receive a prize and the sympathy of their friends. Losers get bupkis. This week, we’re offering two free lift tickets to Northstar at Tahoe. (Don’t waste time; the prizes won’t all be this good.) Send your answer and contact information here.
And now, your first assignment:
I should have outgrown ______ a long time ago.
