Today at about 6:40pm myself and my girlfriend had baked beans thrown on us as we walked by the junction of Calrkenhouse Road and Glossop Road. I have been egged in the very same place. I informed the police, but we didn't have enough of the registration for the woman to consider looking through 8 pages of possibles. We have P587 as a certainty and the remaining 3 we thought were MLK although the woman said that P587 MLK did not bring up any matches. The car was a dark coloured hatchback.

Any information about similar incidents would be nice, perhaps someone has the other part of the registration. Needless to say the car was full of cap wearing idiots.

I wear a cap, does that mean I'm an idiot? :x :P

They're idiots because they throw things from a moving car at people right near a hospital, they also wore caps. Hence, "Cap wearing idiots".

Years ago I knew of a guy from Woodhouse who worked at an abbatoir and he used to throw animal guts at people in a similar fashion.

Myself, my girlfriend and a group of international students got the same just outside the students union. It was shameful - all these international students had spent ages putting together an international night at the Octagon that night only to have the night potentially spoilt by these egg-throwing morons (potentially - they didn't hit anyone).

Ive seen loads of broken eggs on glossop road, this isn't a one off. It's probably degree envy.

Agreed, it's hard to walk between O'Neills and the postoffice in Broomhill without stepping in egg juice.

And for the record, anyone wearing a Burberry cap is automatically branded scum in my book. A little unfair maybe, but 22 years of experience has taught me not to give these people any of time.

are you sure that this isn't urine?

Oh my days! This is absolutely hilarious! I wish I could have been there to witness it and the looks on your faces when being pelted with eggs would have had me rollin'!

I will admit that I certainly wouldn't be laughing if it was the other way round though.

:D

Your thread title made me chuckle but I would definitely NOT be impressed if it happened to me.

Something needs to be done before there is a murder! (As there would be if they chucked a full english on me!!!!!)

I wear a cap, does that mean I'm an idiot? :x :PYes, it sounds like you could well be.

Megabump or what?

Incidentally, I got egged on my very first night in Sheffield (about 2 and a half years ago).

A guy was killed a few years back when someone threw a turnip from a moving car (no joke) http://www.subgenius.com/subg-digest/v0/0051.html

Haha! Great thread!

Im egg-static

First a thread gets bumped from 2003, then someone posts a usenet post from 1989! This thread is like taking a step wander down internet memory lane!

Oh yeah only just noticed,duh

I think i'd prob laugh if it happened to me.. not if i had a meeting or something though!

Yeah, especially if they threw a bit of bacon, black pudding and fried bread with it.

They must have a lot of money to spare if they can afford to chuck food away like that - pity they didn't think of giving it away to charity instead!

If it was pointing in the right direction( camera 33 ) the council CCTV / Traffic camera would have picked up the car, some info below in the link that might help

But will they keep tapes from 6 years ago - when the message was first posted!

I have no respect for these people, pelting people with eggs.

Now, if they had pelted their victims with a full fried breakfast. Eggs, sausages, bacon, beans and maybe a hash brown. That would be something.

my son was almost blinded 2 years ago while waiting at a bus stop near the bottom of eastbank road, a car slowed down with the windows down and a lad in the back fired an egg at him using one of them fishing catapults which hit him in his left eye, it was touch and go whether his eyesight would be permanently damaged, thankfully he made a full recovery.

And, my good man, a decent Earl Grey tea to wash it all down.

:D

seconded :hihi::hihi:

LOL, back in the day we used to roll around in a transit throwing buckets of water over people.

Bring back the pie thread someone ! :)

it is just people having harmless fun, lighten up

i had a similar unfortunate experience to this a few years ago but i was actually driving with my young lad in the car, was going down the dual carraigeway past meadowhall with the window open and some idiots pulled up at the side of us and hurled an egg which hit me bang on the side of my face and cut me, not to mention the fact that i couldnt see where i was driving. very foolish behaviour and certainly not amusing, :loopy:

Someone i used to go to school had an egg thrown at him which actually punctured his eyeball leaving him blind and with 12 stitches where the shell cut his face, so considering the damage a small thing like an egg can do, i am astounded by the amount of "adults" who reply on here and think it funny.

... i am astounded by the amount of "adults" who reply on here and think it funny.

Me too. It makes me want to go on a Daily Mail style rant, but I'll resist.

Obviously some people never grow up.

Mind I doubt I would have found this behaviour funny even as a child.

Could be worse I've had sealed beercans thrown at (I presume, they missed) me a couple of times from cars. Incredibly dangerous...

Hail to the egg!

I once received a drive-by '******ing' when living in Bristol, many years ago. I don't think the yocals were ingenious enough to bring their own dairy products.

Late night, as the drossy little car slowed down to pass, some half-witted inbred climbed out of the rear window and shouted "You're a waaaankker, you arrrrrrrrrrr".

I couldn't stop laughing for ages, it was like 'Boyz in the Hood' meets the West-Country county show. Hilarious.
