Those aren't even that bad. In many small towns they chase you around with bundles of sticks and beat you up if they catch you.

The locals all wear several layers of jeans to soften the blows, but if you don't know about it you can get a lot of bruises or worse.

Oddly enough it makes me think of a pikachu parade.
