Crazy Russians

You know, just when I start to have good perception on Russians, the bad apples have to show themselves more than the normal people.
My kitchen window is the target for batting and throwing practice for racist schoolboys. Almost every night they throw snowballs or use some stick to hit the window. Thank God for grills. And not really boys too. If 10 year old bastards were doing this, I can understand, but these are teenagers.
Dude, if you wanna show you're a big shot, come and hit us.
And just now, trying to take out my garbage in -20 weather in only a sweater, the garbage man said that this is not the place to throw garbage AS he was picking up garbage bins. He in his thick dusty winter wear was arguing with me, who was shivering because I've got only a sweater on. He absolutely refused to take my two medium plastic bags of trash.
Not wanting to cause trouble, I turn back toward my apartment. The bloody bastard just had to say, "I'm watching you if you return!"
I mean, what the flying fuck, man?
P.S. I know this post sucks but it's 7.54 am and I still haven't slept and my housemates are all sleeping, so, I can't vent.
P.P.S. But to be fair, the garbage man wasn't being racist. Some Russians just have the need to feel superior over other people, even among themselves. I don't know why, maybe it's the socialist upbringing. Most Russians don't, though. Most Russians are pleasant, albeit cold at first. Only those who work in the service industry. Maybe they feel inferior because their job by definition is providing service to others. Maybe, it's the need to show You're-not-the-boss-of-me! Like Malaysian government workers. Hmm, maybe that's it.
