Perhaps it's because I was young once...many many years ago so I don't get upset at kids having harmless fun at my expense. 

Waterbombs are pretty harmless...

Depends what's in them......

Indeed. 

I think the OP would have mentioned anything more noxious than water though. 

Someone on a day boat once threw an almost full bottle of wine at me which I deftly caught. 

Turned out to be a rather nice Chablis.

I sure hope it was canal water, and not mixed with anything else. But I didn't care to try and taste it. 

 

But you try to be hit in the head with a kilo or so of water, thrown from 8-10 feet above you. My head and neck stille hurts.

It's not very fun on the receiving end.

Thanks for the info...sadly some people believe that such brats are entitled to cause harm & distress to others. Maybe phoning it in on 101 would be helpful.....might stop them progressing to using rocks.

So what’s acceptable to throw at others in your view.....If I launch an ice cube back at them is that acceptable??...it’s only frozen water after all.....

 

 

See... You can be childish too..if you try really hard.

No...I’m prepared to defend myself & my property. Ice cubes are good cos they hurt when fired from a catapult & don’t leave any evidence.....

I guess we have very different outlooks on “mucking about” & “harmless”....

Indeed. 

Waterbombs soft and squidgy... Ice in a catapult deadly. 

One is mucking about the other disproportionate violence.
