A car, a pedestrian, and a really big puddle.

pred racer

the best bit is when they are mid-puddle and they see you coming, knuckles white on the wheel and a huge grin on your face, they try to make a run for it ............ splassssssh.:p

Awh... someone else used my trick . In the Gaeltacht one year myself and some friends were stuck walking along a footpath that was entirely bordered by a puddle that a car was definitely about to fly through. everyone else ran, i opened my umbrella, crouched and hid behind it. The perfect shield :cool:.

Guy's you don't need poodles of water to drown people.

A few year's ago I use to turn the wiper jets on my car towards the footpaths and hit the washer as I was going past, its hilarious!.

If only I'd known in advance, it could have been, but I would have ended up in somebodys garden had I tried it, and I think they had a big dog.

Have to say though, I still smile at the thought of both being soaked, and doing the soaking. Its like seeing someone slip in the snow, you just kind of have to laugh.

I've soaked people a few times, I feel bad both before I do it and after. I can't help myself. It's happened to me a few times too. One time it was a BMW driver who swerved to do it on purpose, I caught him at the nearby lights and kicked a nice dent in his door.

At work today overheard some scrub boasting out loud to his mate (in the thickest Dundalk accent)

'Aww mwan I was drivin down the Ecco Road and saw dis puddle and a guy walkin past it so I flewww thru it so I did, fcukin soaked him. It was claaaass. Then me and one of me mates were spinnin down the road later lookin for more peolpe. Whahaha'

what makes it more sad was this scumbag was at least midtwenties

I had a bad experience recently.. i was driving out to the university and came to a t-junction. When the lights went green i pulled out rather fast and wide and ran right into a puddle.. Unfortunetly there was a black woman walking down the street and she very nearly got splashed.. I felt kinda bad because i saw the look on her face in the rear view.. It was along the lines of "You rascist bas*ard!!!!!1"

So people don't always mean to splash you.. sometimes its just ****e driving..

I deliberatly drive in puddles to splash pedestrians. It's utterly hilarious if you see a bunch of young ones at a bus stop in the pouring rain all made up to go out for a night on the town and there's a huge puddle in front of them. Ruin their night, Mission accomplished. I still chuckle thinking about it.

Been the splashee a few times and sometimes the splasher when it couldn't be avoided. I will slow down/swerve to avoid splashing someone but if road is empty I will even speed up to get a good tidal wave going .

How on earth can it not be avoided? You just slow down, as much as is needed. It's not rocket science.

It would serve the spashers right if they crashed into a large tree. I've been the spashee a couple of times, one time I chased after the car, unfortunatly there were no red traffic lights when you need them, or I'd of kicked the wing mirror off the car.

They knew what they were doing, they just couldn't be bothered to slow down and add 5 seconds to their journey, rather than ruin someones day.

I've only done it once, but it was a group of scumbags I caught with it so I was delighted. I've never seen a puddle create a wave as big as the one I caused that day. All those lovely white tracksuits soaked through and turned a **** brown colour. It was awesome..

I've done it a couple of times too(in poor visibilty of course to avoid reg catching:D) as a part of the persil white cleaning of scumbags policy, no harm giving them a wash to clean their filthy tracksuits and mouths

The other day, i was heading along Cappagh Rd in a downpour and the biggest and mightiest of puddles lay there ahead of me and there was this Indian looking bloke at a bus stop looking petrified.
I deliberately tried to swerve not to splash him and he acknowledged it but the truck 2 vehicles back drowned him.
I didn't get why he stood at a bus stop itself on the narrow path, he could of stood a few few up/down with no puddles and avoided all the hassle, some people do be clueless at times!

Hail 2 Da Chimp

This happened me recently enough... I was walking round a corner and sploosh... bigh truck, he didnt see me and I was wet any way...

_Kaiser_

As a motorist myself (and a former pedestrian/bus user) I always try to avoid big puddles at bus stops (cause there's always one there). Been splashed enough times in the past myself

empirix

Actually would never do this but yesterday evening driving by smithfield court two fine looking tanned eastern european chicks walking slowly by - one with white jeans on, very big puddle(huge) beside them, had to be done - first time i would ever do this but it just had to be done, it was like a tidal wave, really didnt expect it to be that extreme tbh, priceless, still laughing!:D

You cruel cruel person.

RoyalMarine

id only do it if i knew the person or if they were so called "scumbags"

other than that, accidents happen but id try to avoid it.
