Very, very funny you git

Service road outside work had flooded, a good 15cm deep across the width of the road and 20m long. Well liked middle aged receptionist, leaving work and picking her way along the pavement, trainee @ work comes screaming down the road creating a wall of water.
Trainee gets a well deserved punch in the face.

...It's water. Not acid.
Or do we have to think of the children on this one?
It used to happen every time it rained when I was a kid on my way to school, which wasn't all that long ago, and no one really gave a s
t. Funny enough, I dried out on more than one occasion too. And the world kept turning. But then again, this was before the age of the internet and it being the norm to feel like the world owes me a favour. And despite being Northern, not once in 30 years have I ever felt the need to exercise my compo face to the local rag claiming its ruined my day/ week/ year/ LIFE

Ok, if you have turned your kid out in their smart uniform and someone drenches them on the way to school would you be pleased about them having to sit there in wet clothes all day, also people carry laptops, phones and other electronic items that dont take well to being doused with water, clothes can be ruined, contact lenses and glasses knocked out/off. Whatever the outcome, nobody gets to decide whether someone else will be bothered or not, other people arent there to amuse you, you leave them alone, it isnt hard really is it ?Or do we have to think of the children on this one?

Like I said, if I came up and tipped water on your head from a bucket, would you laugh along with me and say "its not acid, so its fine" or would you be offended, shocked and lash out ? it is exactly the same, well it isnt as the person in the car is protected and can scuttle off laughing like the half wit they are.
If it happened to me and I was sure it was a mistake I would perhaps laugh about it and resolve to be more cautious, if someone did it on purpose and I could I would see if I could have my revenge, I wouldn't do it as I dont want to find my car keyed or have an angry dad turn up at my house with a damp kid ready to smack me one.

The thing is it is funny. It just is. But I am now responsible enough that I wouldn't do it. Doesn't stop me laughing if other people do though!
The act is funny, perhaps in a comedy, but the reality for whoever is on the receiving end can range between meh and causing them a lot of distress, not great if you are on the way to an interview or whatever, it isnt the end of the world but I really wouldn't do it and seeing someone go out of their way to be a tt like that doesn't help my opinion of humanity.Funny how everyone generally sees themselves as the driver and not the one being soaked.
If some kids went round damaging cars would it just be "Kids eh".
Do unto others and all that I reckon.
Out walking the dog a few years ago, access to the woods was along a short stretch of country lane. Spotted coming towards, me a small hatch back, running with nearside wheels (deliberately) in all the puddles. I guessed what was next, so stood by a large puddle of my choice. There was the whoosh of the water, and I got drenched, no problem, in doggie walking wet weather attire. The resultant bang as he hit the huge hole said puddle occupied was worth it. Car went on it's way with a very pronounced front wheel wobble plus loud graunching noise!! Local knowledge very handy at times!
I got drenched a couple of months ago by a bus when I was on the way to Twickenham, probably the only time I'll ever be wearing a pair of light coloured china's....lovely.
Thing is its just one of those things, the bus had no where else to go and I should have being paying more attention.
You can't take yourself too seriously, so while splashing an old person/women/ children deliberately is not on, a load of drunk blokes or chavs l are fair game.

I have to admit this one, although it was back when we were very immature and stupid, I regret it now and feel very guilty!
Me and mates in a mates car, I wasn't the driver. He parked near a huge puddle with lights off waiting for passer by - so very premeditated. We let a few pass by that we felt too bad for, old ladies etc. Eventually there was this couple that were to be the chosen target, my mate starts up the car and starts driving. As he approaches the puddle, he swerves into it creating a wave which hits the couple, although not THAT badly. 2 seconds later, flashing blue lights behind us and my mate gets pulled over!
He felt very guilty, was made to go and apologise to the couple who took it very well, and got sent on a driving awareness course as had no previous offences.
As I said I feel extremely guilty about this, although it was a long time ago and the couple of the apology and the pleasure of knowing instant karma was served!
Apparently the police had seen us pull up and turn our lights off, and waiting in the dark for about 10 minutes (for the right target). I can only think they must have thought we were about to do a drug deal or something, must have got a right surprise when all we did was splash a couple!
