| Before I went to university
I stayed at a residential college for a year. As I would drive out of the college grounds by a single narrow lane when ever this one particular lady; Sylvia, would see me should would stand in the middle of the drive and hold her arms out and just stand there so I could not get past. So as she had done this a few time I equipped the car with several air horns.
Sure enough a few days later she did it again and so I switched on the horns and it sounded like a battle cruiser coming into dock. She jumped about 30 feet in the air and moved out the way. However the next time she stood there blocking the road the air horns had no affect. I needed another weapon, then just a day or so later one of the water jets for my screen washer were blocked so as I cleaned it out with a pin it I refixed the jet which then proceeded to squirt water up over the car and completely miss it, as I adjusted it, it then occurred to me that if I pointed this forward it would be a great way to get this woman out of the way. So after rummaging through my spares I found another water jet and fixed it just behind the mesh grill at the front of the Robin. This then had its own bottle of water in the engine bay, an electric pump (The original screen washer was not electric but a plunger type) and a new switch on the dashboard. It worked a charm, again this lady stood in the middle of the lane only this time I switched on the water pistol and she dived for cover at the side of the road. After that she never stood in the lane again.
