That's it, I'm moving!
I went for a quick walk tonight, trying to break in my new boots. As I'm walking down my road, on the shoulder and completely minding my own business, some dude in a car drove by me and soaked me!!! I'm not sure what it was, probably water. But I couldn't believe it! That has never happened to me before. It was all I good do not to flip them off. But I didn't want to give them the satisfaction.

This might be the last straw.

Did they throw something at you, hit a puddle or use a super soaker?

That's okay, Gem. I figured it was teen age boys getting their rocks off.


Yeah, I guess it was funny. It's funnier now than it was an hour ago.

Hey Ruby...i'm not sure...but.... if you could live anywhere in the USA, think it
might be somewhere else right about now ?

I didn't see any object or even inside the car. It happened so fast. But my entire front from my shoulders to my knees got soaked. So I have no idea what implement they used.


Damn kids

8 posts and no one asked the important question? -

How did the new boots hold up against the soaking?

yeah, how'd the boots do.

I used to have this arsehole bro in law that was telling about this time when he purposesly drove thru a puddle in order to soak this guy that was walking down the road.

I just shook my head and told him he was an #&%!$. He sorta stopped lauhging at that point.

I had an egg, maybe 2 eggs thrown at me while I was jogging late at night. Those b@stards were driving towards me. At first I thought something fell from a tree...then I saw the egg(s), and I thought an egg dropped on me...duh. Then my brain clicked...and I realized people from that car threw the egg at me.

A few years earlier on a freezing winter night....some b@stard threw an egg at my brother's windshield. Naturally, my bro turned on the wiper....which smeared the egg all over the windshield....and immediately frozed. My bro had to stop and scrap off the egg. It was pretty dangerous because he was approaching a curve.

Getting your boots wet and walking them dry is the best way to break them in. Sounds like the dudes with the water were just trying to help.

Hmmmm, now that a few hours have passed, I'm beginning to think it was a super soaker. There were no puddles and there was no balloon fragments.

The boots faired well. Of course, they didn't get wet at all. It was mostly my shirt.

And no, I wasn't wearing a white t-shirt, Opie. As if! It was a white tank top.

I bet tomorrow a pre-broken in pair will be on your doorstep. I hope they're kinder to your heels than they were to mine! ;)

I've had idiot teenage boys try and soak me by driving through puddles. Only got my legs though. Heehee

When I drove heavy trucks I loved to spray slush or water.......but only on parked cars, not people.

Once while sitting on a motorcycle in downtown D.C. I was nailed full in to face by sprayed slush.

It was just like a movie.
I was wearing a rain suit but my face caught it good.
I was sputtering and spitting.....and that shlt was COLD!!!

WinterSolstice, good memory. Yep, that was me. I don't mind getting wet. It was the audacity and utter rudeness and disrespect that ticked me off.

But today, I'm finding way more humor in it since there was no harm done. But it has strengthened my resolve to move from here. I give myself 6 months more in this neighborhood, tops.

SHUT UP ALREADY!

WE DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.
MOVE IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY.
OPIE YOU ARE THE BIGGIEST PIG ON THIS BOARD!!

I care what happens to Ruby. And alot of other people on this board. I'd even venture to guess that most of us care. It's okay for you not to care HYPOCRITE, but please don't speak for me.

Um, Hypocrite, I'm wondering if "we" don't care, why "we" read and posted to the thread. I guess you can spew your views. Doesn't hurt my feelings. I hope someone hugs you today, sounds like you could use it.

Thanks, Sass.
