My kids are arguing and my son just found his scope has been "adjusted"

I think its somewhat funny myself.   My oldest daughter and my youngest, my son, are not getting along these days.    So, my son has a few of his guns over here that he likes to shoot in the back yard when he has time.    He thinks my daughter got his rifle out and turned the scope adjustment knobs "a bazillion" times because his scope is WAY off now and that is his only reasoning for it.   

What do "normal" kids do to each other when they are arguing???   Do they sabotage things or play dirty tricks on each other.    Over here is seems that scope adjustments are a prank they will do to each other.

    When my three stepdaughters were teens, if one used the other’s make up, the fight was on!

    When they were all younger and lived here it was almost always two against one at all times.   It was never all three totally fine with each other.....not ever.    It was silly stuff like someone took too long getting ready so they were late for school......or a stain on a sweatshirt that hasn't been washed in weeks, found on the floor in a pile of dirty clothes and they would "just know" that a sibling had gotten a spot on it somehow.    The worst was the dishes.   I had to ground them all for the dishes constantly ending up in their rooms.   One of them got smart and put all of their dishes in the upstairs bathroom so I couldn't tell who had done it......so I just grounded all of them for a week and let them figure it out between themselves.     That was a fun evening.    They are all adults now, so the silliness is not as frequent.   I think the latest argument is over a video game system that wasn't being used and my son gave to one of his buddies.    My daughter is convinced that it was her old system and....even though it hasn't been used for years and years.....it wasn't ok to give it away.     I'm staying out of it.

    Our sons got along with our daughters. It was the daughters that fought each other. I'd rather raise a barracks full of boys as 2 teenage daughters.

    Among my many duties is oversight of a jail. My staff hates to deal with the women’s block. 
    Man, the subject of the post is hilarious. Mean oil’ girl.

    A friend of mine had an ex wife that took all his metric & standard Allen wrenches out of their respective blocks and mixed them together.

    Pure evil.

    If it happened as your son thinks, it is a serious violation of firearm etiquette.  One simply does not mess with another person's gun or gear without permission.  And you don't ASK for permission; you WAIT until the gun owner offers to let you examine his piece.  That is, assuming the two people are of equal status.  A parent or superior-in-rank person may ask to examine a subordinate's firearm without abridging etiquette.

    Life is so strange when it's changing, yes indeed
    Well I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
    But I keep on working like the working man do
    And I've got my act together, going to walk all over you

    [Chorus]
    Gimme back my bullets
    Put 'em back where they belong
    Ain't fooling around cause I done had my fun
    Ain't gonna see no more damage done
    Gimme back my bullets
