I think I once had eggs thrown, but they completely missed - not really sure what it was.

I'm sometimes tempted to throw my water bottle at idiots in convertibles annoy me :angry:

This happened to me, and I did something about it.
Cycling along, a chav leaned out of the passenger window of a chavmobile and sprayed me with some unknown liquid. Initially I was livid, but wrote it off as the car sped away and I assumed I would never see them again.
Couple of minutes later I spotted said culprits stuck in traffic at a T junction with a learner at the front who was a bit hesitant pulling out.
If you've ever seen a terrier get sight of a rabbit, well that was me, I was motoring (well, cycling - fast).
As I approached the car,the front seat passenger had already caught sight of me and was quickly winding the window up, and also the traffic was starting to flow again. In a moment of madness/red mist, I simply stuck my right elbow right through the windscreen. This is where it all goes wrong. Although the car was full of chavvy boys, the driver was in fact the daughter of a friend of ours, she went mental, tears, dialled 999 etc. 3 police cars and an ambulance turned up, I was frisked and handcuffed, arrested - the full works. There's more - all this happened outside my front door! My kids all popped their heads out of the front door, all the neighbour's suddenly found things to do in the front garden - talk about making an ass of myself.
Anyway, managed to get away with an on the spot fine in the end, although the chavs just got a slap on the wrists.

The moral of the story - watch the red mist, and don't screw up in your own neighbourhood.
Have I learnt my lesson? I really don't know. i'd like to think so, but I have great difficulty accepting that idiots like these are allowed to get away with this type of behaviuor without any repercussions. Anyway I'm keeping my head low for a bit.

i've had a paintball thrown at me before :sad: lucky i had my sunglasses on
I've actually been shot with a high powered paintball gun before!!!

I was waiting for a mate on my bike, leaning against a phone box whilst he made a call (in the days before every man and his dog had a mobile), minding my own business and listening to my walkman (yep, some years ago now!)...

Suddenly there was a loud bang, my music stopped and I was pushed back against the phone box whilst feeling a pain in my chest. I looked down and saw that there was yellow paint all over my chest just as a dark BMW with the rear window open sped off.

I took a while to clean my jacket, and fortunately the walkman took the brunt of the shot and suffered a cracked lid in the process... my chest was also quite bruised so I dread to think what it would have been like without the walkman. :biggrin::angry::angry:

I was riding home the other evening from a trip to the moors when I heard the usual abuse from a passing car and then my face was wet:sad:. Luckily it was only water but it frightened me.....could have been sulphuric acid. There really are some b*stards out there:angry:
I had this too. They decided to turn on the windscreen wipers/washers *just* as they overtook me to flick the water on me. :biggrin:

Ive had that aswell. Always on a main road aswell:sad: Id love to catch up with them and empty the contents of my bottle on their car. When it dries normal then it leaves a red sticky mess, which you can just clean off with water, but will attract just about anything.
We had a car come past us close on a club ride a couple of weekend ago. He stopped just up the road to go into a car park which he couldnt get in. 2 people banged on the car and we all went past, he then came back at us.
A few wanted him to get out, but instead he sped off very fast as the group all came up to the back of his car.
I had an orange thrown out of a car at me last year when i was walking home from school. It missed and got a parked car. Ive seen that car a few times, but never when i could get the person back.
