yep, that's what happened today, we have had ALOT of rain these past few days, there's been quite alot and the roads are just filled with huge puddles everywhere, so there i was walking down the road on my way to the village when a car passed and literally soaked me from head to toe, i tried to stop most of it with my umbrella but it was too late, the water went all over my back, down my legs and yep, all over my butt, i was half way to the village and didn't want to go back because i didn't have much time, so i carried on walking, again SPLASH! yep, another soaking, lol, i laugh now because it could only happen to me twice, so by the time i got to the village i was drenched through and feeling pretty cold, so i rushed around the village, got what i needed then got a taxi home, don't you just hate it when someone asks if you've been splashed? i did see the funny side of it though and got home and took all my wet clothes off and got into my comfy pj's LOL.... has this ever happened to you, been splashed from head to toe by a car, what did you do?

Lots os things have happened to me with cars involved but I do not think that I ws evr splashed. That must5 have been awful. Just this morning in a car park, a big SUV just brushed my rear end and I nearly fell onto it as I was so scared. Racing in a car park!

on wow cyn, are you ok? some drivers just don't care do they, this is how people are killed by careless drivers, they should be more considerate for others when they drive, i was splashed by a bus and a car, twice in one day...LOL....


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3074)   ranked 5 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

Thank you I am fine but I was a little shaken as I toppled backways and was grabbed by someone to stop me from falling.


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (841)   ranked 1 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

No it hasnt, but i know here in the UK it is actually illegal for someone to purpoesfully splash you in their car however proving it was done on purpose and not by accident is rather difficult!
I think people should be more careful when driving in the rain and also if im with my girls i walk them away from the road much safer and they are also less likely to get splashed!


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (841)   ranked 1 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

that's the problem kez, proving that it was done on purpose also catching them is a task too unless it's caught on camera, i was actually walking with my head down and in a bit of a hurry, in a world of my own as usual, whistle so i wasn't expecting that, but i carried on regardless only to get splashed again....i am nice and dry now, i just hope i don't end up with a cold...

Puddytatt oh please puleeze send some of that rain over here to dry dry Ca. it has not really rained here in over a year. I was just remembering while reading your discussion about the time I got splashed like that, and then on top of that we had a sudden cloudburst and I was out in it with no umbrella. the rain was not the usual Ca warm rain either.I was literally dripping,as Ihad already been splashed then the cloud burst dumped on me again, so I staggered into this little donut shop.I asked for a large coffee and I think she felt extra sorry for me, so she gave me a super large one for the price of a large one and a handful of paper towels. I mopped myself off as best I could and sat and waited for the rain to stop. I was so cold. the coffee really helped so much.then the sun came out, and no more rain.I dont think we have had any rain since then either. That day after the sun came out I bought myself a new umbrella,have not needed it since. wow.


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (841)   ranked 1 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

Hatley, you are more than welcome to this rain, there's alot of it, it keeps coming and coming, infact it's so cold that when it hits you, it stings the skin, the winter is really kicking in here, it was nice of the lady in the coffee shop to help you out, at least the sun came out afterwards, i do remember one time i was going for an important interview, i had my trouser suit on, my hair done all nice, make-up on, i really made the effort, next minute WHOOSH!!! the heavens opened, i was soaked through, all the curls in my hair fell out, i looked like sissy spacek in Carrie, lol, i had mascara running down my cheeks, i looked like a drowned rat, but i still went for the interview not knowing that the mascara was all down my face...LOL, so i now know why everyone was staring at me when i went into the office, but putting that aside, i did get the job.... happy

Yes, that's happened to me! From then on I was very careful when driving near the curb where there were pedestrians because I know how it feels, especially when it's cold outside!

Same thing as when I nearly hit a motorcycle--since then, about 35 years ago, I make a special effort to watch for them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (841)   ranked 1 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

i did respond to this earlier on but my moden went skewiff, it's only just come back on again, it was a long reply too... doh at least some people are more careful when they are driving, some driver don't give a monkeys about people walking they just drive through the water and splash them... glare

Hi,
Oh my goodness. You poor thing get soaked like that. I got splashed going for my walk here at work but just got my pants legs luckly. Can you imagine if I went back to work totally soaked.. Can you see them laughing now?

Is there way to get dry by a heater. I went back to my office and tried to not walk till I was dry. I did go the ladies room to try use the heater that dry hands to dry my pants.

This is good questions I am curious on what type of tips will be generated under this discussion.

Thanks for sharing this with me. I feel for you I really do
Sincerely Unique16

oh i am sorry that you got splashed, by the time i got splashed the second time, i was almost at the village so i just decided to carry on, get my shopping then get home, i was soaked when i got home but i took a shower and got dry and then chilled out, these things happen but sometimes these drivers do it for laughs, if they got caught they would get a fine for that....

Yes I have many times been splashed and jump into huge puddles I find it to be so much fun.Cold rain isn't as great but I do love the rain.It doesn't rain as much here which sucks as I love it so.And everyone looks at you funny just makes me laugh harder but it is nice to change in to dry clothes you feel refreshed!


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (841)   ranked 1 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

oh i used to puddle jump with my kids when they were little, they loved it, i allowed them to puddle jump which was more fun for htem because i dont usually allow them to do that, but if it was just for fun, it was worth it just to see their faces....

Some of the drivers are so thoughtless.That was horrible what happened to you.my husband will stop and wait for the people to walk by.I suppose it has got its funny side to it though,drowned rat.I know the places down our road where you are likely to get splashed so I run like mad to get by the puddles.I have managed to get by without a soaking so far.


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (841)   ranked 1 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

well the first splash wasn't that big but the 2nd one was, that's the one that really got me soaked, by the time i got to the village i was drowned..LOL...but i got my shopping done and got home fast, i do think that these drivers should not do this because if they got caught they would get done for it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. suzzy3 (3960)  1 month ago

Did you hear about the guy on u tube who aimed at a puddle and completely soaked some people at the bus stop he got done for it.

I tend to keep alert when walking like that and make sure that there is no car coming that can splash me while I walk past the puddle. Which is not to say that I've never been splashed like that. But once bitten, twice shy as they say.

The subject of the photo has got nothing whatsoever to do with being splashed, but I know that you'll like to see it happy

Yes, he's growing fast! happy When I got him, he was not litter box trained, but he's now using it all right and I'm currently trying to teach him not to go on the table or to try and eat my food. This is an ongoing dispute. happy With this weather, I go out as little as possible - I'm turning into a real hermit! w00t

I can't say i have ever been & i'm sorry u were. I hate to be wet & cold for whatever reason. That had to be miserable for u & i hope it doesn't make u sick. Glad u are back in all warm & toasty. Have a great weekend, Tatty.


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (841)   ranked 1 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

if it wasn't so cold, it wouldn't have bothered me, but it's getting cold, the rain hurt my skin, i was soaked and cold, so i did a fast shopping spree and got home before i caught my death of cold...


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8731)   ranked 4 out of 31 in water  1 month ago

The street in front of the gym gets flooded when it rains. If i would have walked out the door one night just 30 secons sooner I would have been wet from head to toe. I had to back up a few steps anyway. I always try to go slow especiall in the parking lots where alot of people are walking.
