Attempted egging!

blow69

Had to post this straight away! So i was walking back from Wilton just now and i was just past Dennehys cross before the bus stop outside Farranlea Hall(where i live) and i noticed these bluey lights coming behind me slowly and i knew something was gonna happen.Like a 6th sense or something:D Next thing i knew 3 eggs were pathetically thrown at me.One got me in the leg, one landed in my jacket pocket and the other landed perfectly in my hand which was down by the side of the leg.Weird huh?

So i threw the egg that was in my hand and shouted "GET A LIFE" and it hit the back window im glad to report.The car just kept speeding on.

You know this isn't the 1st time ths has happened on the Wilton Rd. My friend has been egged numerous times but they always miss him.2 weeks ago i saw these 2 girls get hit in the back.It destroyed their coats.And most mornings you can actually see broken eggs on the pavement!!

So beware walking Wilton Rd at night time

****ing scumbag boyracers need to get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(

This happened to me in limerick once too.
Incredibly though it hit me ridiculously hard on the back, it bounced down onto the ground and survived without cracking at all.
I was really confused as to what had happened, and so just continued on to the shop.
But the whole way I was thinking... Who would throw a boiled egg?
So on my way back, I saw the egg again, still intact lying on the roadside.
I tapped it with my boot and the thing just shattered.
I must have an egg based guardian angel.
Go on. Try and get me pregnant. Bet you can't.

well done.

last halloween I was at a houseparty on bandon road.. outside having a fag with a girl from school and there were people scattering everywhere to get away from these kids throwing eggs.

we never moved and we never got egged. its the luck of the draw i guess.

the day you run is the day you get egged. that's for sure.

better off accepting your fate.

Ah, that's still going on - I was walking along the Grand Parade on a lovely summer's day in the 80's - feeling very proud of myself in my brand new white dress, happy with life - you know that kind of day............ when I walked passed the fountain where some girls were sitting (I say girls - more teenage tyrants from the wrong side of the tracks) and suddenly I felt this bang against my head, it hurt like hell, they laughed loudly, I didn't know what it was - but alas - I'd been egged, it was raw, and ran down through my hair and the yolk stained my new dress. I was really upset because I wanted to tear them to pieces but also because I looked a bit stupid, having to walk through the city with egg in my hair and my now stained dress. And they were nothing to do with any form of rag week, just bored brats out to cause problems. It's just not funny and if they're taking to doing it to passer bys from car windows, then somebody could get really hurt. I think I'm still psychologically scarred in that I hate to walk past a gang of kids, without thinking the worse.

Happened to one of my mates in town a couple of months ago, the thing is she was having a really **** day. It was on Patricks St too. Pretty nasty **** tbh, hopefully they all die in a fiery ball of death after crashing into like-minded individuals. Try and get some reg plates if you ever witness it I reckon.

It probably originally hit you "pointy-end" first - very hard to break an egg that way. It would also have felt quite sore hitting you that way because of the smaller surface area.

Had a full Capri Sun thrown at us from a car on Barrack's Street last night- it exploded right in front of us but didn't hit us (Thank God, imagine smelling like watery orange juice for the rest of the night! Yuck!) Was definitely weird and random.

Must put a catapult & bag of ball bearings in the jacket pocket.. if I get egged, they're going to lose a window or two

heh,

yeh myself and a few friends got egged on the lough rd, last summer.. truly bizzare. somehow though we managed to avoid being soiled, in that one of the eggs hit my ex's arm, deflected off him without breaking and ran down the wall of a house, and one hit my foot and just rolled away..

strange couple of minutes..

the strangest things i've seen happen though in Cork, are drunken fights that turn all lovely and gushy, have you seen them..

grown men giving it socks and then all of a sudden.. " Ah no seriously man, i apologize, it was my fault" accompanying hugs etc.. or maybe thats just my experience?

It's not something you see in Dublin anyway, it's purely vicious here in my experience when it gets going.

So im not alone then?:D Although im not surprised there's more of this going on

I will be keeping myself armed at all times from now on

If you hold an egg between your thumb and forefinger at the pointy ends, no matter how hard you squeeze and put pressure on, it will NOT break!! swear to god!! saw it on tv. and tv never lies.

dr.bollocko

I tried it.

The egg broke.

Does that mean I am mighty and you are weak?

Or I am mighty and the egg is weak?

Or the Egg is mighty and I am covered in egg?

Either way its bad.

was walking up by college last night when a car came arond the corner with some lads in the back who stopped whilstled and threw a few eggs, none hit but we were quite pissed off.
Fast forward about 20 mins later walking up by glasheen road, saw about 3 garda cars and a paddy wagon ahead of us, they were stopped outside a party and searching the very lads/car that had tried to egg us, we laughed.

ive never been one to turn down a challenge! unless your male cause then the game is rigged!!

It happened me once before, except unlike Dr Bollocko's experience, it actually was a hard boiled egg that caught me into the leg. Pity for the lads that threw it that the lights turned red before they got a chance to drive off. After taking off his driver side wing mirror with a well placed kick, I looked in, ready for war, expecting to see a car full of scummers. Turned out to be 3 pussy students ****ting themselves and looking frantically back and forth between me and the traffic lights

Got a bad enough bruise off it though!

suppafly

Sounds like this type of crap happens often enough. Thankfully its never happened to me. Sounds like you got your own back very well DarkJagger, nice one!

Happened to me this year in Waterford at the sproai festival. They hit the wife on the head but it glanced off and smashed on a wall. She was nearly due so I lost the head and raced after the car. Managed to grab a rock and I think I broke/cracked the back window.

Not sure was it a good or bad thing I didn't catch the car
