Throwing things at people from your car.

Bolderdash

When I was 17 or so myself and a few chums used to launch water baloons and Mcdonalds milkshakes at people from our car. Can't say I'm proud of this but nevertheless it was great fun at the time. Of course most missed and we even drenched ourselves a fair bit but when you got someone square in the face with a milkshake it was priceless.

It's not only abhorrent it's also assault and you should have been charged for it!
Not to mention dangerous driving (and I assume you were L-plated at the time).

I'm sure the nurse who lost an eye after being hit by an egg thrown from a moving car also thinks it's priceless, and great fun.

Only scumbags do this kind of thing.

When your next car insurance renewal drops through the letter box, please remember, this is what you are paying for.

I agree thats why I said its abhorrent. Milkshakes for sure could do damage. Not sure about water balloons though.

I was stupid and immature, that can't be denied, but I did have a great laugh doing it.

It's only acceptable to throw things at John Malkovich from your car.

Thank God they don't have as easy access to guns here. Although there's always pellet guns and airsoft rifles. At least the OP didn't resort to that.

Morgan offered €10,000 to Ms Doody as compensation but this was turned down by Ms Doody. He was ordered to pay the €10,000 to the Society of St Vincent de Paul and the Peter McVerry Trust

Someone threw a water balloon at my granny like that and she ended up stopping going outside as a result.

It's complete a**hole behaviour and it's genuinely physical assault!

Do it to the wrong person and they follow up and you could find yourself in front of a judge and possibly a civil action to bankrupt you too.

I'd get your number plate pretty f*cking sharpish and have you in the small claims courts paying for destroying my clothes.

Throwing rubbish in the street is a vile act. From a car even worse. From a car and trying to hit someone is truly repugnant.

Pellet guns are a firearm and subject to the same licence process

At the other side of that coin, a few years ago I was parked up when a burger hit my car at speed. Gave a dangerous chase to a white Glanza through Cahir and the surrounding countryside but a wrecked 1.4 astra could do little more than just keep up. Gave up trying to close the gap and just drove around for the day before going home. Just as stupid, looking back imo.

Your username is perfect for that post!

If your that immature then you shouldn't be driving a car tbh, everyone is stupid when they are younger, we often said stupid stuff to pedestrians, never insulted them or anything, just innocent stuff. If one of my passengers threw something at a pedestrian then I would have stopped the car and ****ed them out on the side if the road tbh before going back to apologise and see if the victim was okay.

According to the school insurance form, if my son loses an eye he gets 50,000. I rather my eye myself, but 10,000 goes nowhere these days. Her med bills would nearly be that.

Well that makes it ok so. If you happen to get picked on by a few scumbags who rob you blind and then pound you into the concrete so hard that you need your skull glued back together, presumably that too will be ok if they have a great laugh doing it, as that seems to you to be an acceptable justification for assault.

Ah sure that's the main thing. Every village needs an idiot. As long as you got a laugh at someone else’s expense and misfortune. Not to worry though, what goes round will come round to you or yours someday instead, and sure at least you'll understand as they have a great laugh doing whatever they done.

Absolute scum.

I have no idea how anyone could think this was a laugh.

If you think that doing that and throwing water balloons are the same thing then god help ya

I think the OP is demonstrating that after many years of training and months of practice they can now turn on a computer, log into a message board and type letters on a keyboard.

I think his progression from pond scum should be applauded.

When I was around 17 someone threw a water balloon at me and a few of my "chums" as we were walking, then they sped off. Imagine their surprise and delight when we gave chase and they got stuck in traffic at the next set of lights. Oh the lols. We didn't have any water balloons though, so we just wore our shoes off them. I'm guessing they thought throwing it was great craic. Probably not so much afterwards though...

We changed the number plate. A 0 changes to an 8 very easily.

That wasn't justification, just the bare honest truth.

I was hit by a plastic bottle when cycling. It was thrown from a car with a few young lads. This is a common source of "fun" for simpletons with nothing to do.

Once after work a young employee asked me for a lift as I drove close to where he lived. He saw a young teenage girl on the footpath, opened the window, and started shouting sexual abuse at her. I pointed out that I would be in trouble if she took a note of my car number.

I take the long view. They will pay, probably not now, but they will pay.

In my day it was all about pissing in the windscreen washer bottle, turning the washer jets sideways facing the footpath and driving through town spraying people.

Oh you thought everything through. What a clever little boy you are.
Bearing in mind that any item that struck a pedestrian and caused them physical harm is in fact a criminal offence for which you could still be charged. So you're talking about your participation criminal behaviour.
Then there's the general road offences of altering a registration plate, which you just said you did.
best thing you could do is talk about it on a public forum.

I don't. But the principle of justifying scumbag behaviour by saying 'we was just having a laugh' is the same. Getting a hiding is a more extreme example of it but it's still acting the prick.

Theres no point in even trying.. That route is so restrictive, so expensive and filled with red tape and "political correctness" (:mad:) only to finally, after a year or so of trying to bring someone to "justice" for, say, dislocating your shoulder with a melon your reward is to see them told to hand two hundred quid to the poor box and do some community - oh and you wont be payed much if anything because they come from "a disadvantaged background" in fact youll about break even.

So so sooooooooo worth it.

KyussBishop

So OP, you never told us - do you regret it? Do you feel bad thinking about it? Or do you feel good or laugh thinking about it?

I have been hit by an egg which destroyed clothes and a pair of shoes, I had no other choice but to walk on as it was a long stretch of road with and they had decided to turn around, I had picked up a rock and threw but sadly missed as did they with their second egg. I know of many people who have done this kind of thing, generally people in there teens whose friend borrowed mommy or daddys car. Pure scumbags is all they are.

You were damn lucky just the bottle hit you - I'd say the average young lad weights about 50-60 kilos - if one of them clipped you as he flew past you'd know all about it.

Nope, can't say I ever threw things at people from a car, had an egg miss me from one once though.

Although, after reading the thread title, I couldn't help but remember this old clip:

Wasting money on McDonalds milkshakes to throw at people is up there on the league of arseholery and scumbeggery alongside throwing things from cars.
