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

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,533 ✭✭✭SV


    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.

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

    I don't get the point of this thread.

    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.

    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.
    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...

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

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,797 ✭✭✭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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    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.

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.

    Complete and utter tosser!!!! Sad life you live lad when that's what you resort to to make yourselfs feel good!!!! Say your parents are proud of you ye gimp

    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.

    Well, you're alright now and that's the main thing.

    Who goes online to post something they feel guilty about from their past? It's not human nature, I think the OP might BS'ing.

    First day in Australia, walking around Sydney with the misses and bang and an egg hits me right in the side of the face. Some ozzie pricks. Scumbags!! Hope they got bitten by a king brown.

    Another time in Dublin and coming home from work and from my elbow down to wrist was all in cast and nice and clean and new and some **** swearved at a puddle to hit me and it destroyed my clothes and cast and sling and i looked liked something from Duck Dynasty.Took something from the ground threw it and smashed his back window. Drove back looking to kill me but all the lads seen what happened so ran over and your man had to jog on. Wankèr.

    Anyway people who do stuff like this are gimps and deserve a slap.

    Moral of the story - dont fock with Billy!!

    Unless you hit me with an egg in the middle of a Main Street in downtown Sydney.

    Think I've waited about 20 years to get this off my chest.

    It's not the worst crime on the world but if it happened to you and you somehow caught up to the car.... Well, every window on the car is fair game seeing as they've had their bit of fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 491 ✭✭spitfireIRL


    was walking thru town with ex one night few years back, car load of d*ckheads drove by, roared something at us and threw waterballoon. :D stupid f*ckers had to stop at traffic lights about 20 yards up the street. still remember look on passengers face when i pulled open car door

    Same thing happened my friend, outside pub having a fag, car drove past and they flaked a pint glass at him, missed and shattered on the wall next to him, glass everywhere. He chased the car, caught up and boxed the head off the driver.. Proper order!

    Generally walk home from work depending on the weather. Have had all manner of stuff thrown at me by teenage scumbags. Eggs, water balloons, half empty drink cans, bottles of pi$$, fruit, even a pizza and of course lots of verbal abuse. It's one thing throwing such things at me, a man in his thirties, but I've seen scrotes throw the same things at school kids and senior citizens.

    One thing they all have in common is that they are in groups of three or more and always have a convenient escape route at hand.

    The worst example is the time a glass bottle hit the pavement just in front of me. At first I thought it had been thrown from a car but it was actually a gang of four knackers lobbing empty beer bottles at passing cars. Idiots!

    When I shouted at them to stop they threw two at me, one narrowly missed hitting me in the face. They then ran away, stopping at intervals to me a fagg0t! :rolleyes:
