This reminds me of a old Dead Kennedys song about Oregon, but involves after this situation picking up a rock and throwing it at car driving by. Then, ending up in a phone booth till the police arrive.

frogza · 10-27-2006, 07:10 AM

Apparently I'm not an angry enough person.

Been there, done that (been hit with water from a person in a passing car) my reaction was surprise then I laughed and went along my merry way.

Now if I had been the wicked witch of the west things would have gone differently

not sure what happened, (I believe I am with Ustwo in this). did some guy in a car spray water out as he was passing? Was he pissing out the window, or splashing water? or a drink? or what?

what caused the anger...

Strange Famous · 10-27-2006, 12:47 PM

Some guy threw water on me from his car as he drove past

Glory's Sun · 10-27-2006, 12:48 PM

umm...

I hope you are ok...

really it was water. At least he didn't shoot your with a paintball gun or something that would be harmful. It was water.. big deal.

Strange Famous · 10-27-2006, 12:55 PM

well, I know... but it made me mad at the time. The car had to stop at some lights ahead of me, but unfortunately I couldnt reach the car in time before it pulled away.

Glory's Sun · 10-27-2006, 12:56 PM

so ... what if you did catch the car? You want to spend the night in jail for assault because you were splashed with water??

la petite moi · 10-27-2006, 12:57 PM

It's sheer immaturity on the part of the person who sprayed you, but that person will get his in the end. You gotta just shake shit like that off, and be the bigger person.

Jinn · 10-27-2006, 01:07 PM

he's luckily you didn't have a gat.

pop a cap in his ass and all that shit
yo thats how we roll.

I agree, it sucks.

If you were lookin for a little vendetta of vengeance, call a drunk driver complaint on their license plate - they're probably doing something else illegal, anyway.

What would you have done? I thought you advocate walking away from violent retribution? You wanted to yell at the individual to escalate it more?

I dont know what Ive have done I suppose... my gut reaction was just to go after the guy and drag him out his car. If I look at it logically and retrospectivaly, just laughing it off would of course be the best reaction... but I suppose a lot of people would react in the same way - if someone straight out does something disrespectful to you, you might want to do something about it. Maybe that I didnt catch him is the best thing if you think all the possibl results through... i still find it bloody disgraceful though - that little punks are allowed to roam the streets behaving this way.

TexanAvenger · 10-27-2006, 03:16 PM

Walking back to the dorm last year, Babes got hit in the arm with a waterballoon by some asshole driving away in an SUV and was furious and embarassed for the rest of the night. I was pissed too...

But then I reminded her of the story of my walking home a few years ago along the side of the road and also got hit with something thrown out of a moving vehicle at me: a brick into my lumbar region.

Hope that makes you feel at least a little better like it did her. People everywhere are assholes. Be glad you got an annoying asshole as opposed to a dangerous one.

Redjake · 10-27-2006, 03:51 PM

My freshmen year of college, me and two of my best friends were walking down town in my college town and someone drove by in a big truck and shot my friend with a BB gun. It went all the way through his many layers of costume and went into his skin. Left a scar. They were going too fast to get the plate. Really annoying that people like that never get caught.

Kids do that stuff because they think they can get away with it. Not always.
My husband and I got absolutely drenched by a Mustang convertible full of teens in Salt Lake City a few years ago. It was just getting dark and we were standing on a street corner waiting to cross to go back to our hotel. They came around the corner and yelled "Broncos suck" or something (my husband was wearing a Broncos t-shirt) and just drenched us. At least a couple of them had BIG water guns, and they were just laughing like crazy as they drove on down the street. A couple of blocks down the street we could see them pulling into this parking lot for a teen club and they went inside. It just happened to be almost right across the street from our hotel. My husband changed clothes and went back out, bought a gallon of milk at a nearby convenience store, went back to their car, stomped on 3 water guns, and dumped a gallon of milk all over inside the Mustang’s seats, carpet, folded top, dash, and down the defroster outlets. Then he left the empty milk jug and the wet Broncos shirt as a "calling card" so those little assholes would know exactly who had taken revenge. I’ve always kind of wondered how long that car smelled of sour milk, and secretly hoped that it was actually his mom's car. Now isn't that naughty?

Family meal ruined by urine thrower
A family meal at a New Malden restuarant took an unexpected turn when a total stranger walked in off the street and threw urine over diners and their food.

The family of four was enjoying a meal together at Pizza Piazza in the High Street at about 9.15pm on October 16 when they were approached at their table by the suspect, who was carrying a clear plastic bag containing what police believe to be urine.

He was heard to say "This is for you" and then threw the liquid over the family and their food. He then quickly walked out of the restaurant.

continued...
A waitress in the restaurant called the police who did not arrive immediately, leaving the family sitting in urine-soaked clothes for more than 30 minutes.

Alex Giarola, who runs the restaurant, said: "The family were just having a good time and enjoying their meal before the guy walked in.

"He was a scruffy black guy, who walked into the restaurant and straight up to the family and ignored the waitress who asked if she could help him. She was really scared by his behaviour and just let him walk out again.

According to the waitress, the family did not know the man and they were traumatised by the incident.

Mr Giarola said: "Of course we didn't charge the family for the meal, we just felt so sorry for them."

The suspect is described as a black male, around 5ft 6in, with short black hair. He was wearing a blue anorak with a red and white scarf. Anyone with information should call the Kingston Crime Management Unit on 020 8721 5868.

Jason762 · 10-28-2006, 07:37 PM

Similar thing happened to me a long time ago.

I was running around my ‘hood, and I felt something heavy “thunk” me in my back. I was scared for a moment thinking someone was actually running after me and putting his hands on me, but then I saw a car driving by with a kid my age hanging out the window pointing and laughing at me.

Once I had realized I'd been hit with a bottle, I flipped him off, uttered the loudest "FUCK YOU" I've ever said and ran after the fucker.

What was cool (to me) was that I was already running damn fast, and was running even faster! That was pretty cool. I was damn near dead at the speed I was running, but that shot of adrenaline and anger had me running even faster AND on a slope.

Anyway, I never got the guy, but once they saw that they had pissed me off, they sped up and I just stewed in my rage as I completed my 5k run.

But getting water splashed on you was pretty fucking rude.

Was sitting at a red light at an intersection the other day, and noticed a 50 something bloke get out of his truck, he walked over to a young mans car next to him and booted his door leaving a mighty dent. He then got back into his truck as if nothing had happend. The young guy was a tad unimpressed, so he quickly pulled his car off the road got out with his steering wheel lock in hand, smashed the trucks side mirror, but still not satisfied, threw the lock through the passenger window, shattering the glass and clocking the truck driver. I imagine the younger driver had orginally cut the truck driver off in traffic to get the his kick in the door in the first place, but I reckon the truck driver deserved all he got for not keeping his cool. To be able to hold you temper and take a deep breath is a mark of maturity and common sense.

With so many dickheads out there, I'd rather remain cool and let it go than end up on ice in the morgue.

Yakk · 10-29-2006, 07:16 AM

On one hand, one might think "in a socieity where everyone has a gun, this wouldn't happen. Someone who threw a bottle of water at someone on the side of the road has a decent chance of being shot at in anger -- you'd have to be an idiot to do it".

And at the same time, in that armed society, the teenagers driving by might have just used a silenced pistol instead of a water bottle.

Not political, just first thoughts on the matter.

loganmule · 10-29-2006, 08:24 AM

Which of us hasn't done stupid stuff at one point or another in our lives, stuff which was thoughtless, disrespectful and hurtful to someone? (that might make for an interesting thread actually, and unfortunately, I'd be a big contributor to it)

What happened to you sucks, but it happens, and someday, albeit not necessarily soon, the guy who did it may even regret what he did to you. As has bee noted already, just be glad it was water.

Anyone who shoots in response to being hit by a water bottle should not own a gun. Teenagers who throw water bottles are not the kind of people who would shoot for fun.

Unless you live in Manchester, or Oldham, or London, or Liverpool, or Bristol, or Edinburgh...

All of which have violent-crime rates which equal or exceed those of comparable American cities. My old boss back in the States was from Manchester; according to Pete, getting a gun illegally in Manchester is easier and cheaper than getting one legally in North Carolina.
