Grumpy Old Man Tries Desperately To Shoot Down Kid's Lemonade Stand

We all had that one guy in our neighborhood growing up that just never seemed to be happy. Instead of wallowing alone in his grumpiness, he took it out on the rest of the neighborhood, and by that I mean, the kids.

Well, it's nice to know some things never change, and that the Grumpy Old Man still lurks in the shadows of suburban Tampa, Florida, where he's trying to take the steam out of a neighbor kid's attempt to earn some spending money.

Doug Wilkey brings "grumpy" to a whole new level. The Dunedin, Florida man has written to City Hall four times in two years and asked local government to intervene in a matter that's ruining his quality of life, to wit, a 12-year-old's lemonade stand.

T.J. Guerrero, who decided to sell lemonade as a way to earn the money necessary to buy an iPod, has been running the stand that apparently is an "'illegal business that causes excessive traffic, noise, trash, illegal parking and other problems that reduce his property values."

In one e-mail, Wilkey wrote: "If this were a once a year event by a couple kids to earn a little money for a holiday or something, I would not have a problem with it. I am very worried about the value of my home, which is why I built in a residential area, not a business area."

Maybe Wilkey is more of an iced tea person. For the record, City Hall says they are "not in the business" of regulating lemonade stands.

Watch this video and see for yourself what an awful kid T.J. is. Yup, he looks like he may be a member of ISIS.
