Funny or fecking obnoxious?

Since mime artists are never funny, that must mean it's out of order

Obnoxious.

Taking the piss behind your back is one thing but squirting you with water is not on.

[police bore head]technically it's an assault[/police bore head]

Obnoxious and not funny in the slightest

Hmmm, obviously it's not on at all and he shouldn't have done it. It is quite funny though.

One of the biggest laughs I've ever heard in a cinema was at the start of a Spanish horror film called The Day of the Beast when its hero, a mild-mannered priest, decides that the only way he can properly confront evil is to know what it feels like to commit a sin - so he goes out and one of the first things he does is push a mime down an underground subway.

You can see the incident for yourself in the trailer - it's about twenty seconds in.

Then again, is this really a sin? ?

That's the thing, KN - it's one of those situations when something is out of order, but by thinking it's out of order you come across as a humourless git ?

So, what should I have done? I ignored and carried on running, fuming as the laughter of the assembled masses followed me.

But you only come across as a humourless git to people who find mime artists funny - why would their opinion count, ever?

Mr JK - not a sin, imo

This was whilst you were running? Cheeky b@astard. I suppose the correct response was to run back, kick him in the nuts, and ask him to mime his way out of that one. Or to set up a competitive mime, where you pretend to be him, and indicating his incredulous horror when he undoes his flies, peers into his pants in confusion, then realises just how remarkably small his penis is.

Twunt. I loathe mime artists.

Maybe he thought you looked hot ?

What did you do?

Was it real water or mime water?

If it was real, surely he's breached some fundamental mime code or other?

I think it's beyond rude and, as Kieren said, assault. I honestly don't know what I would have done though.

I certainly did - I was 6.5k into a 10k run, it was 2 o'clock and I was sweating like a horse. Not a pretty sight ?

I ignored totally. I seriously considered stopping and screaming blue murder at him, but I'm not convinced that would have been a good idea.

Hmm. If he had squirted me I think it would depend on what mood I was in as to whether I found it funny. In fact, I think it would depend anyway. I do not like mime artists though so I would have been tempted to go back with a super soaker and have the last laugh

Hopefully it was a bit refreshing for your run
