Last night(on Lordship Lane) I was hit by an egg (not hard boiled) that someone had thrown from a passing car?? It struck me on the back of leg but luckily didn?t break until it landed on the pavement. Has anyone else been caught out by this rather unfunny prank?

Judging by the colour of the yolk I fear they are using battery eggs?..

A few years ago I was walking back home after an evening class and a car went by and two eggs were pelted at me, one wizzed past my arm and the other through my walking stride - so close it was like the 'divine intervention' in Pulp Fiction


A couple of mates jogging a few days later were not so lucky - I felt even more smug...

Last year I was riding my motorbike through Bellenden 'village' when some youth threw a tennis ball at me from across the road. It bounced square off the top of my helmet. Initially I was insensed, but afterwards I had to admit, it was a good shot. They were laughing their balls off, so to speak.

I was hitching a lift at the blue house roundabout from Newcastle going north, a car slowed right down and the window wound down. 'where you going to mate?' I leant over close to the driver to speak and he spat a huge great greeny right in the middle of my face. The car raced off with the occupants whooping and wailing with glee.


Now that really was funny.

It was funny only becuase the egg didn't break ... had it left me in an eggy mess I daresay I'd have been fuming. :X

Also when I was a kid I, er, did things like that and for me to become Mr Righteous Indignation would be a tad hypocritical :-$


Me and my mate were just walking down the street one lunchtime and it took me by surprise. The guys in the car stopped at a traffic lights a little further down the road and my mate wanted to run for them and give them a good hiding. I'm a wuss when it comes to such things tho.

One evening, several years ago, during a very drunken game of Treasure Hunt in Soho I threw an egg, jokingly at my boss. It was an excellent shot, right between the eyes, but with such force that the eggshell cut his forehead quiter badly. So bad in fact that he was taken to nearby UCH and had 5 stitches. I was arrested and charged with assault and got a 3 month suspended sentence and 48 hours community service! I can't even look at an Easter egg now!

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
