Throwing a stone.
Discussion
I had to head to a friend's house the other evening, they were expecting me, but in my hurry I forgot to pick my phone up.
Got to the door and knowing they had a small child in bed, wondered how I could get their attention without knocking /shouting, as I believed that would wake the child (I was told afterwards not to worry about the child, he wouldn't wake).
Anyway, I thought it best to throw a very small stone at the window of the upstairs room I knew the friend would be in. They heard it (thought it was a loud fly hitting the window...), looked out and answered the door.
Mission accomplished.
But it got me thinking. Anyone else done the stone - at - window throwing recently?
Ever?

I did it to my girlfriend's house when I was a teenager. Didn't want to disturb the parents at about 10pm. Hit the window nicely, and saw the light go on. I was quite chuffed, until her gruff dad came to the window and told me to "f
k off".
I Don't do it anymore.
Apt username, too. k off". I Don't do it anymore.

If you'd used small stone rather than a pebble it would have worked betterk off". I Don't do it anymore.
I haven't personally - but do have a pretty funny story about it.
I moved in with my now wife and stepdaughter many years back. Step daughter was in her teens at the time and various friends would call over at all times of the day and night.
I'm into astronomy - and this one night, me and my wife went out into the back garden to watch a meteor shower.
We were laid out on sun loungers in the middle of the lawn - tucked up in sleeping bags. The garden was almost totally dark.
About half an hour into our observing session - we heard a noise up the side of the house and a shadowy figure came around the back and started to throw stones up at my step-daughters bedroom window. We recognised him as one of my step daughters friends.
I sat up and in my best telephone voice said "excuse me - can I help you". The poor lad jumped out of his skin.
My wife told him to just go round to the front and knock as my step daughter was in. He muttered something and disappeared hastily round the side of the house again. Apparently he never did knock and we didn't see too much of him after that night....

You were going to throw your phone at the window? Surely a text a or call would have been better.Got to the door and knowing they had a small child in bed, wondered how I could get their attention without knocking /shouting, as I believed that would wake the child (I was told afterwards not to worry about the child, he wouldn't wake).
