Threw an egg at a car in an insomnia fuelled rage. AIBU?

The allergy aspect wouldn't have occurred to me at all to be honest, because none of my children's allergies are potentially lethal. But I'm actually shocked that people are taking the piss out of a poster who has,quite rightly serious concerns about the risk because her kids could die. She's posted a "hilarious link" to a child actually dying because another kid threw a piece of cheese at him. I'm really not seeing the hilarity that other posters are. Or that it's no big deal if they nearly die, because epi pens exist.

MN never used to be this cunty.

HAHAHAHA 'try to ignore'

well fuck me why hadn't anyone thought of this before. thank you for your notable 2 pence. have you ever 'tried to ignore' loud booming bass and loud music at 3.30am? white noise and 'ignoring' isn't going to cut any ice ffs. the egg did the trick. well done OP.

Talk to your local councillor.

An individual noisy neighbour is quite difficult because the barrier to forcing them to move is quite high. But noisy cars are much easier for a council to do something about - we had issues and got penguin bollards installed pretty easily on our council estate.
They also blocked the road at one end so there is no cruising around playing music any more - the idiot young men who lease these expensive cars find it less appealing to have to u-turn. Plus it has cut speeding traffic as well.

Clearly the people suggesting the police or council have never had this problem. They either do nothing or take months or years. And only if it is a known perpetrator like a neighbour. Not random people in a car park.

Stick to what you're doing.

Team up with neighbours, super soaker are 2 for £15 at Argos.

I hope you've taught them not to lick pavements and road surfaces...

I think, as long as they can’t identify which flat you’re in, that it’s a genius plan!

Totally agree. It goes on night after night, police do nothing, we are told to monitor and in the end have to end up moving. What the hell should we?

So if someone smeared peanut butter on your car, it wouldn't be an issue because your children never touch the car as they get in?

Omg get a grip. You are my hero OP, pity you missed, they deserved it.

YANBU, I almost did the same thing last week at an ice cream van. I was trying to work and the fker would just not stop...

Tomatoes are acidic, probably less damaging than egg though.

Is it funny though?
If your child could die from a common product that they come in contact with every day, you wouldn't be a bit on edge about it? You're aware that people get in and out of their cars and often touch them, aren't you? Have a tiny bit of empathy.

Were they outside the OPs home at 3.30am this morning then?!

That’s probably what she wanted to do after having had no sleep night after night. You’d better throw a brick next time,op. I suffer from the same and it drives you mad.

I think it’s brilliant - you should all start doing it to any car that does that!

YANBU, however, tomatoes would be cheaper, eggs are a bit pricey these days! 🤗

Fair play to you. We have a similar courtyard that is literally for access for emergency services that suddenly a car started pulling into around 2am and stand there blaring music for about an hour. I and a lot of the other residents were driven mad, called the police who would move them on but kept coming anyway. Think it was night 10 I had filled two water balloons with paint and chucked them at it. Never came back.

Oh get a grip 😂😂

I've been hit by an egg before and it's really painful. You could properly damage the bodywork or smash glass - not that they don't deserve it but you could be in a world of pain if they retaliate or go to police. Maybe smash the egg first...

Please tell me how an egg landing next to a car or on a car could cause an allergic reaction? With closed windows I say this as someone with children that have a nut allergy.

Drain your eggs with a straw. Rinse inside them carefully.

Fill them with a loose setting agar agar jelly (slime) and edible glitter. Or rice starch jelly.
Aim well.

The glitter won't be biodegradable so in the morning make sure to collect it from the pavement/road and pack into the nearest pot hole.

Some horrible lads threw an egg at me once from a bus on Halloween. Was not very nice.

But having been plagued by hideous neighbours too I endorse your actions op! They deserved it - I did not!

I mean, I wouldn’t have done it. But I have respect for you for doing it. Lol!

I was hit by an egg thrown from a passing car when I was a teen. I was just walking along the pavement minding my own business when I suddenly had this massive pain on my forehead right between my eyes. I actually cried out and stopped dead. when me and my family looked round, there was broken egg lying on the pavement next to me. It must have hit me at its strongest point as there wasn't any egg on me, just broke when it fell to the floor. It was really painful, and I had a bruise for days. I was really lucky it wasn't a centimeter or two further each way and didn't actually hit my eyes.

The OP admits it didn't actually hit the car. It could of hit anyone. And yes there is a slim chance that someone nearby, or in the car with teh windows open, cold have a fatal egg allergy. It is a much greater chance that it could do serious harm to someone.

Call the police next time.
