I was on a bus this morning...

and a small child threw an apple at my face.

Does this mean I'm not cool?

It's only not cool if he spits it in your face.
Also what kind of apple was it?

I dunno types of apples that well, it was kinda small and red, but it hurt more than one would anticipate.

That reminds me of a story. I was on the bus once, when a man and his young son came down the stairs to get off. This kid was being loud and annoying, just like a typical small child, not in any particularly big way, but as the bus was stopping I'd got pissed off and shot him a dirty look. A look that says "If you don't shut up, I'm going to rip your head off" Instead of being scared, the kid pulled on his dad's arm and said "Daddy, I don't like that man!" pointing at me. The dad, clearly embarrassed at his little'uns behaviour (My fault though it was) apologised to me, and as they got off the bus I heard him tell the boy that he should go straight to bed without dinner. So that was a small victory for me. Though through the typing of this story, It does rather come across as I'm the jerk. Which I'm cool with.

I would've politely returned the apple to the child, admonished him / her on the dangers of throwing fruit and then approached the parent, taking their cellular phone / texting device they were to busy using to prevent said assault and stomp that f***ing thing into a silicon based puddle.

But that's just me.

My nephews used to throw stuff at me on occassion. I found picking them up and holding them upside down works wonders. My youngest nephews hated it (as did I when I was a kid) so I'd just hold him like that for a second or two and set him back down. My older nephew enjoyed it but he'd start laughing and then behave anyway. I'd just remind them that I was bigger than they were.

What a coincidence, I enjoy throwing children at apples!
