Pedestrian + Puddles

[R DIRTY 3]

Is it wrong to drive through a puddle on the side of the road with the intention of causing a wave to soak unsuspecting pedestrians who are just going about their business, or waiting for a bus etc?

I know its a wan*er thing to do, and everytime the oportunity presents itself, i do try to refrain from doing it....but its soooo funny that i sometimes cant help myself. If you saw this happen, would you swear and curse the person, or would you be more inclined to laugh?

For the record, i think some people should be off limits. e.g. Kids, parents with kids etc.

So, am i a really just a wan*er??

Be honest, do you do it, or have you done it?

Have you ever been hit by a wave while you were a pedestrian?

I am aware of it as a pedestrian.. havent done it in my car but would love to

[inthisglass]

i was doing it yesterday

great fun

I've seen busses hammer people down the Terrace, I find highly amusing.. go with your instincts Brad!

[Stinky Rooster]

you mean it is actually possible to refrain from doing this??

I call BS

Dale, i have deliberatly missed a puddle before not to get some one...its possible to do but takes a lot of will power

On the flip side, if i got hit by the wave, id be pretty pissed!

It's the intricate coding of the matrix, everyone must do it. Only 'The One' can change this.

I got hit by one as a kid on my skateboard, and after I had got over the initial shock/anger, I realised how piss funny it was and have never managed to pass up an opportunity since.

Mind you, being the wanker kinda makes you assume everyone else is gonna do it so you learn to stay right away from roadside puddles.

haha i have been victim to the bus driver. but that was for the bus i was getting on, so i couldnt really avoid standing there

if you are a pedestrian and are stood on the edge of the kurb where you can see a puddle that has the potential to splash you then its your own fault for standign there

so its perfectly fine for a driver to drive through a puddle, its on the road you cant really avoid it now can you? eheheh

Hey i have been behind busses that have done it a lady was holding an umbrella and tried to use it as a shield didn't work very well, i have seen some people that are so addicted to doing this they take their own water with them to splash people

[gt-ahhh!]

bit harsh perhaps. i would be reluctant to tsunami ladyfolk, or people wearing suits, imagine if it was you lol.

that said, my dream tsunami moment would be a mass of teenyboppers waiting outside a nightclub. paint their blinding fluoro clothing with good old fashioned mud!

baaahahaha awesome thread....... back in my hay day (yr11-yr12) we used to go around in my mates hilux surf jacked up with monster bf goodrich all terrain T/A's in winter before school looking for the opertunity...... the tables have turned considering i havnt been driving for the last 12 months... winters just coming up and we've had a few rains.... i keep an eye out and stay a way from those good old puddles when walkin just to make sure..... i recon it would be pretty uncomfortable covered with road water and grime lol

[ZENNON]

ZENNON, it may well be, but its still a bit funny yeah?

yeah if it happens to be im am more likely to go "ah shit and laugh" instead of "ah shit and stab someone"

Setting up the car with big tyres etc, then driving around looking for the opportunity...thats just being a right prick about it!
