I do remember in my younger days when happy slapping was all the rage that a young chav picked me.

As it is as I felt the impact I swung my arm out and got a chav running pull pelt on my elbow.

Yes I had a sore head and elbow, but the sight of a knocked out chav just made my day.

Don't think they filmed it, but if they had the footage would be great to see.

I hope you cross paths with "CRAZYGUY" one day!

I thought my name might have gave that away, its only an egg it was not a brick,

As I drove through Norwich a few years ago I noticed a couple of kids(14?) to my right, fooling around, as the traffic was moving slowly I was able to watch them through my mirrors. They appeared to have a bag of sweets and, while I was watching one of them threw one at my car !
Unfortunately I could only catch one of them, who I shook warmly by the throat and scared sh1tless, I told him to tel his mate I would be looking for him. My daughter nearly died of embarrasment in the car.
No doubt I was guilty of several offences but the bizzies have'nt turned up yet.

Some kids threw an egg at my Nan's lounge window and the window shattered (it was hard boiled which shows premeditation). She was 82 at the time and never went back in that room again.

I really think that the kids/youths who do these things just think its a laugh with their mates and have no idea what impact it has on their victims. I think hitting someone with an object is ABH or something, shame most of them never get caught.

My SIL was driving down a street in Plymouth with her 2 sons in the car, it was hot so the windows were down and there were kids in the street throwing stones, one went through the window and hit her eldest on the head. No lasting effects luckily but how can any kids be such an idiot to think its ok to throw stones grrr.

It happened to me too actually. I was 17, and I had gone to sit an entrance exam to a school in another city (in France), so I was by myself and spending the night in a youth hostel. The day before the exam, I was taking a walk in town to calm my nerves...and someone poured a can of beer all over me from a first floor window. I was completely soaked in beer. I ran back to the hostel in tears and totally humiliated, very nearly went back home without sitting the exam.
I'll never understand how some people can take pleasure from humiliating others like that, it baffles me!

I get things thrown at me (eggs, water, fizzy drinks, stones) and things shouted at me probably 50% of the times I leave the house. I'm fat and walk with a stick after an accident last year, so I guess some people think I deserve to be attacked for being fat and daring to show myself in public.

I've even been deliberately pushed over a couple of times - once by a gang of mid-teen girls and once by a middle-aged businessman-type who thought I was taking too long getting off a bus. He then stood over me while I was on the ground and shouted at me for a good 2-3 minutes. Not one person came to help and the police weren't particularly interested.

Sad to say I'm getting used to it happening so it almost feels strange to go out and have no-one shout or throw things. On a good day I manage to take it in my stride, but on a bad day it makes me want to never go outside again.

If that is true you need to move from the scum ridden sh1thole where you currently reside. Name and shame please.

Some people just have a screw lose. Whilst not on the street, I was once dragged to the floor by my hair on a bus and scratched then accessed of trying to steal this woman's purse. Thing that got me that no one on the bus did anything until the woman got off, then someone did come and ask if I needed help. This was when I was a teen and it stopped me going on public transport for a long time.

SueMaggie - That is truly awful!

Not particularly a scum ridden hole - in fact a middle-class area of Greater London, but have had things happen in various areas of London.

What surprises me is that it isn't always the kind of people you'd expect doing it - e.g. a very well-dressed woman in her 50s driving a very expensive car started harrassing me as I was taking a long time to cross a pedestrian crossing and the lights had turned green for her. So she wound down her window, told me exactly what she thought of me in no uncertain terms and threw a bottle of mineral water at me.
