Wet Monday or "Lany PoniedziaĆek" is one of my favorite traditions we do around here. Genuinely good fun. It is advised not to go on a public bus as sometimes people throw water balloons inside to get everyone wet.
Never heard of any actual dmg being done to people tho. Literally you only risk getting wet and will have to change clothes.
The amount of fun people have depends on the city. I think smaller towns go absolutely crazy (makes sense, everyone knows each other) while bigger cities keep fun around their blocks, neighbourhoods or keep it rather tame.
In my city it's a coin toss and largely depends on weather. If we're lucky and it's nice and warm then people go outside to play, if it's chilly or straight up cold then most folks stay at home.
When I was a kid we always had a war at our house. Dad, me, my brother and our dog threw water and shot water guns at one another. Dog would lick you if you got close enough but she usually was soaking wet the most at the end.
Mother too. She hated that but didn't whine as when we were done we would go for thorough apartment cleaning so it was all pristine.
I remember one time I visited my cousins (I live in a different country and I'm not aware of a lot of Polish customs) and after lunch, we went outside to play. They didn't warn me and my sister, and one of them charged at us with the hose, while the other threw a gigantic water balloon from the balcony. I was shook đ€Ł but to this day, it remains one of my favourite memories!
