No, I haven't. I'm sorry, but unless you're walking literally on the edge of a curb, I don't see how it's possible. Do your streets not have drains?

I lived in NYC for many years. I've been splashed many times. I think most people in NYC have at one time or another. I've often walked on the edge of the curb - if not in the street itself. Sometimes it's necessary to get where you need to go!

^This. In some areas the sidewalks are not that wide so if there's a huge puddle along the street curb and a car, truck or bus comes flying down the street, you're gonna get splashed. The worst is when you're waiting at a bus stop on a busy road where cars speed.
