Hmmm I've done this before (pulled into someones space).

Remind me never to do it to one of you.

Recently, we pulled into a parking spot at a movie theater and a car screeched up behind ours. My wife was driving, I was in the passenger seat. A large unkempt man jumped out of his car screaming and cursing. He didn't see me coming around the side until I was right next to him.

First time I squared off against another man since I was 28. I was ready to fight him, but he chickened out and ran off.

A few weeks later I chased off a prowler sex offender in our office. He ran off when I confronted him while he was stalking our admin. Guy ran off and out the front door, where cops were waiting for him. He was arrested for assaulting another admin on the floor below earlier.

Halloween night I confronted a drunk in our neighborhood who was hassling the kids. I was sure he would throw a punch at me, but no. He just put his hands up and backed off.

I've been going to the gym a lot more lately, doing weights and getting my cardio back up. I don't know what vibe I'm putting out, but some day some asshole will fight me. I feel it and I just want to be ready.

I should have just waited until she disappeared, then let the air out of her tires. :laugh:

Of course, I tend to feel that if you catch someone scratching your car you should be legally allowed to shoot them.

I agree.

Rossman, I used to thrill at your bargains, live for the next hot deal. Now I shop aimlessly, paying too much too often. I just don't care anymore. I think you gave me too much, so much of you that even you have left the deal behind.
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

Don't you guys remember the thread where my friend punched that chick out in self defense? According to ATOT, women are innocent little dainty flowers that are singularly incapable of doing anything wrong and are exempt from any kind of physical reprisals from any men whatsoever.

Although, FWIW, man or woman there's a better way to handle it. Violence should always be a last resort. Punching someone out because they took your spot is about as lame and dumb a response as you can get. He should've just keyed up her car or something.

May be lame, but at least that story was probably real.

I have knocked a few women the fuck out...one was some dudes drunk mom that came up to us for skateboarding in the empty cul-de-sac in our neighborhood saying we were harming the road. She swung a 2x4 with nails at me when we didn't leave. I grabbed it (being stupid and dramatic) and punched her full on with my other hand. I was gushing blood all over the place. She called the cops and they wanted me to press charges...I didn't...we thought we would all be arrested though.

Another time was my one ex that would get drunk and start throwing glasses and crap most of the time, except this one time she decided to grab my ear and tore it. As soon as I saw the blood hit my shirt I knew what was happening so I just gave her a chop to the neck and then grabbed her by the throat.

For the most part as long as a chick doesn't touch me enough to draw blood / actually physically damage me I just ignore them to piss them off.

Someone did this to me on 4th of July...the bad thing was I had a 6am flight the next day. Missed it by 1min. The plane was there still but they just shut the outside bridge doors. Pre 9/11 they could have let me in. What pissed me off most was it was kids that had camped out in my driveway to watch the fireworks (there is a great view of them from the front of my old apartment)...as I was pulling in at first they didn't move at all out of the way so I rolled my window down and said they were in my spot but could stay once I got my car in the driveway.

I was hoping to see them this year, but they didn't show up.

Fortunately they didn't take the stems. I was able to get to a walmart in my wife's car and get a bike pump (AAA was running 1-2 hours)...I thought I would make it and almost did. They had the normal garage I park at under construction at the terminal I go to..I had to hike half way across the airport to get to my flight.

I wouldn't do something like that just cause I'll be sued by the woman (since what women say is basically LAW in court)
Otherwise, I would definitely have pulled a Maddox with the "Head Butt to the Ovaries"

Call me old fashioned, by I disagree.

I don't believe that either gender is superior or inferior, but they ARE different and should be managed differently.

There are exceptions to every rule, of course.

Being that a poster here had no clue on a 2x4 to begin with throwing finished lengths in may cause heads to assplode.

I am sure there are some nerd handymen that refer to them as 1 1/2 x 3 1/2's and get a little chuckle out of confusing store staff.
