i've been hit by a flying loaf of bread from a moving car was lovely and soft.I had an empty coke bottle, half a sandwich and some mars bar launched at me from a moving car as it overtook. Plus a grinning face looking out the back window, as they drove off.
There's a level crossing about a mile away and I sped up as fast as I could in the hope that it would be down (it often is), but on this occasion, it wasn't.

People drop social norms when they feel out of reach of any consequences. Shouting stuff out of cars is a common one... getting into fights in internet forums is another one.
Throwing stuff is unacceptable though and should be reported to the Police.

I've had a few too. My favorite was 'Go Lance!', though that could probably have been taken as abuse as well

My brother had an egg thrown at him when he left the train station last year. Thing is the people in the car were obviously a bit dim as they also use the car park everyday. So my brother the following morning found their car in the car park and glued their wipers to the windshield.

I have been riding to work for years along a busy A road, and get lots of abuse that usually relate to non existent cycle lanes!?. The best one and I don't condone my behaviour here kids, but a Cheshire nob in an open top Bentley ( in metallic orange.......nice!) pulled up on my inside side at a filter lane turning right, lights changed and he used his car to push me out of the way then under took me to get the whole of 60m down the road to be stopped in queuing traffic, as I pull along side him I emptied my water bottle on to his lap and muttered something about it being wee!! The look on his face still makes me laugh to this day!!
DON'T TRY THIS!Posted 1 year ago # -
I've done that too - albeit empty the bottle through an open driver's window.
I try to be more zen and not react these days

I just wear an MP3 player, they can shout all they like and I don't hear them, then they look stupid.
