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.

I hope the woman remember's what she done to you, as one day she will reach your age and lets see how she will feel if and when someone gives her a taste of her own medicine

I appreciate the sentiment, but she was a good bit older than me so should in theory be wiser!

These stories are disgusting! It makes me want to howl with rage and sadness as some of the moronic behaviours people display! Truely disgraceful!

There are some really awful stories on here. Don't know how some of those disgusting people can live with themselves.
Worse one for me was when I was 16, when myself and my best friend from school were walking down the road towards her house and it was late October just as the firework season was picking up. We came across this lad who we knew and said hello. As we were walking away, I just happened to turn my head and saw him hunched up and I just saw a small spark from his hand.
I realised what it was and all I could say to my mate was "RUN, FIREWORK" and we both started pegging it just as this banger thing went off about 5 feet behind us.
We could hear the callous t**t laughing as he walked off. My mate just started crying uncontrollably and I had the shakes for a good 10 mins.
Never have I wanted someones hand to blow off so bad than that lad's that night. Ever since then I've always wanted fireworks banned from general sale. Far too many idiots can get hold of them :mad:

SueMaggie, I think your story is horrible I'm so sorry for your situation and sending you a hug.
Dontone - throwing fireworks! I'm glad you noticed in time to run and that you and your friend were ok.

Again people surprise me all the time, I just can't understand it.

I know that I started the thread in misery but it appears to be really common, please keep the stories coming.

There are some real idiots around :mad: Throwing an egg at all is just stupid but from a moving vehicle it can be so dangerous!!

About five years ago I was driving along at about 30mph when an egg was thrown from a car coming in the opposite direction - if you reckon the other car was doing 30 mph too and then add the additional speed added by the action of throwing the egg the closing/impact speed was probably 80-100 mph. The egg hit the lower edge of the windscreen and cracked the glass - the main impact was a 'bullseye' of about 10-12mm diameter where the glass was completely pulverised and then there were small cracks radiating from there. Such a pointless thing to do - had to waste time sorting out a replacement screen but at least it didn't hit a person which could have been much more serious....

Last year some of the teens round our way raided the dog poo bin and threw bags of dogsh1t at peoples windows
Rizla we are in Kent too.
((hugs)) to all of you, it shakes you up for a long time especially if you feel "targetted".

When i was around 16 i was walking down the street, it was raining so i had my hood up. Coming towards me were two lads (about 12 years old i would say) on a bike. The one on the back had a massive tree branch in his hand. I didn't really pay any attention to them, but as they got a lot closer i looked up. The one on the back of the bike had the branch raised in the air by now and looked at me and said "oh !!!!!!, its a girl" and put the branch back down...i can only assume that if i was male i would have been hit in the face with it. I felt quite shaken for a while as it could have easily broken my nose or something.

I was out running the other day and a man yelled FAT !!!! out of his car window at me. It made me cry when I got home. OH was fuming.
