[Closed] Egg thrown at neighbour's car - police involved - WTF?

This time it was an egg, next time it could be a grenade.
I'd like to see a chicken lay a grenade....

Some sort of eggsplosives? More likely to get shells from a chicken.

op: Troll, or just a dick?

I can't decide

That's bloody harsh that is. And trolling really is something different to what people think it is when they type random words on their puter.

Serious question and not meaning to derail the thread. Could someone explain what being a 'snowflake type' means. I see it written on this forum quite a lot and have always guessed it was used to infer something about sexuality but have never been sure.

snowflake type

We're all different.

Ah, sweet 😀

This is all getting a bit personal and unpleasant.

Ah, sweet

i was expecting "I'm not". Is disapoint.

BREAKING: someone's now in custardy for the offence.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

Serious point. The culture of this place seems to be that posts that appear to be selfish or a bit self absorbed get roasted. But genuine appeals for advice or assistance always seem to get an overwhelmingly positive response.

I could explain my "lack of community spirit" by telling you about how truly awful my neighbours are. The "victims" included. But that would be an exercise in futility on here.

Is that why you egged their car?

Let me be the first...

When it's everybody else, it's really not.

It’s got a slow start but finishes loudly and messily.

Is that why you egged their car?

So that was why the chicken crossed the road.

by telling you about how truly awful my neighbours are

Still was no need to crack an egg on their car!

worked with a guy once who said everywhere he'd lived he'd had bad neighbours. I knew the guy quite well. He was the bad neighbour.

I hope this thread is a troll. If not it means the OP has bought himself a really crap CCTV system.

Adding credence to the 'tip of the iceberg' nature of the police involvement...

I think you should all quiche and make up.

Je m'en fou.

J'ai fini.

Flounce

My mate used to store eggs inside his car. It was a Lada.

Shame on you OP.

That actually made me smile wwaswas

snowflake type

It tends to mean "nice person who actually gives a shit about other people and their environment" when used by not nice people who don't give a shit about other people and their environment.

"next time it could be a brick"

Nicely done. Really. Hope that you are happy with the outcome of that. 🙄

Damned with faint praise

I don't think he will be, it's probably not turned out the way the OP hoped.

Egg was probably thrown by some cheeky monkey kids, a meringue-utang maybe...

[i]Damned with faint praise [/i]

I'm not proud, a small puff of air through the nose on an otherwise stony face is enough.

Je m'en fou.

You cared enough to start a thread about not caring enough to help someone out...

Can I blame the Tories for dispatching the PCSOs rather than the Flying Squad?

This is an eggstreme eggsample of how an eggregious post can provoke an eggcessive response.

[i]Flying Squad[/i]

Frying Squad, surely?

Frying Squad, surely?

Nah they scrambled the PCSO instead.

Reads like "I let off a bit of steam, called someone out for a minor infringement happening to them when my problems are way bigger and worthy of more attention"

Fair enough...

Possibly the egging has become a regular problem and the local beat officer is involved. Ours has done a good job in sorting out yobs who were making life a misery in our street.

You'll like this: my neighbour Zain is a PC and one day while he was driving to work a kid egged his car. Zain wasn't having it so he did a smart U turn, chased the kid and collared him. The kid squealed: "Help, help, call the Police!" to which Zain was able to reply: "I AM the Police!" He hauled the kid back to his house and the Mum wasn't interested at all, probably because of Zain's ethnicity.

Things have really changed since One Direction...

Did they shell out for a carwash?

Got egged on the road bike a couple of years back on a local wee hill climb. Made me laugh, as it was the kinda wee bawbag thing I'd have done as a yoof.

Wee shites.

Yep.

Maybe it was your other neighbour the ones you seem to have bother with and they were hoping you would be kind and provide evidence.

Sounds completely Eggsagerated to me. Made up story

(I need to get a life... just trawled through 4 pages of this to see if that pun had been made).

I can only imagine the OP got his websites mixed up and their is currently a post about narrow/wide chainrings on the daily mail website bemusing the idiots over there.

"but at 13 you're not a fully developed smartarse at that stage."

I dont know, at the comp I used to go to that would have resulted in "Thats a good idea, miss" - followed by a brick going through the window. This was a school where one bus full of kids on an old red double decker, got a broom out from somewhere on the bus... stuck it out the window and smacked a copper with it as they drove past. The whole bus then denied having anything to do with it and blamed it on the driver. The entire year was then hauled into detention in the assembly hall, whereby no one single person uttered a word and when they did - they changed their story and blamed it on a kid who had two broken arms.... the teachers were told that he had used his mouth to hold a broom out the window. They then reduced the deputy head to tears. I distinctly remember some of them even lighting up, in the assembly hall.

That school, to this day, feels like something out of Apocalypse Now or Heart of Darkness.

hahaha...... superb

Tom_W1987, that was the highlight of this whole sorry thread - can you do some more posts of stories from your school please?

He hauled the kid back to his house and the Mum wasn't interested at all, probably because of Zain's ethnicity.

So.. the mum's lack of interest was due to some attribute of Zain?

I took it as the only plausible reason to explain the behaviour of someone not caring about a copper at their door with a kid who has egged a car is that they are racist ...I mean its only racists who are shit parents right?

[i]its only racists who are shit parents right? [/i]

Not all shit parents are racists but all racists are shit parents.

Some of you are racistist.

Tom_W1987, that was the highlight of this whole sorry thread - can you do some more posts of stories from your school please?

Agreed. More stories please.

@Tom_W1987 - Member

Awesome. You just don't see that sort of loyalty nowadays . . . 🙂

More stories please. I'll start a thread for you.

Fragile and needs to be kept in a certain environment to exist, also expects the rest of the world to change to that environment and when they don't they're an (insert worn out insult here)ist

Snowflake very much used by the alt-right/nazi community onine to try and wind up/demean/dismiss anyone who objects to their racists/misogynist schtick.

Using the term 'snowflakes' is a highly effective test for Snowflakes who, when triggered, will spontaneously shout words such as racist/trump/daily mail/alt-right/nazi. I believe this was discovered accidently in the sixties by an Austrian physicist 😆

Well said enfht 😀 I think we should call it enfht's law. 😆

The term (Snowflake) is now so inexricably linked with racist/trump/daily mail/alt-right/nazi arseholes, I would think twice about using it if you have any desire not to be linked (or be seen to be agreeing) with these people. Which you should, unless you are moron. All imho of course.

Triggered. 8)

Triggered.

or 'trolled'?

By definition, triggered.

But don't beat yourself up it's not your fault you're just too easily [s]offended[/s] abusive. 😀

But... Scotscrote used it the other day on Bear's sausage thread. Are you accusing him of being a... whatever the **** it is you wrote up there...?

Wow.
5 pages in and the OP has gone from not a very helpful neighbour to a Trump supporting, daily mail, alt right nazi bumhole.
Have a word with yourselves.

But don't beat yourself up it's not your fault you're just too easily offended abusive

A bit weak. If you are going to troll, at least put a bit of effort into it :roll:.

Weirdly, someone has egged my wife's car yesterday. In Holmfirth, which is kind of near Manchester. Is it a wider part of a campaign? Or is derek just firing eggs and lefties?

Me earlier - taking a break from the DM crossword.

Are "snowflakes" the new "handwringers"?

It turns out this is why you would report it. The eggs have put scratches right down to the metal, with flakes of paint falling off. One on the window frame and one on the boot lid that could easily end up flaking off patches and ending up with rust. Which I will now have to pay to fix.

Give them the ****ing CCTV footage Derek, for goodness sake.
