I think you mean here.

I think you need to have a talk with Amber. See what's up. If she had something to do with it, talk to your boss and have her removed from the internship. Call the cops and make the guy's life hell. Try not to trust her again.

also you should kick that dumb bitch out

i hate when people cant handle things themselves and call the cops

I love when e-thugs like you don't go to the cops, handle things themselves, and then get arrested by the cops.

Wait, wait, wait.

You got into a fight with this guy? :shocked:

In all seriousness, the thing was sketchy from the start and you probably should have just bailed.

Hidalgo was the horse.

You got into a fist-fight with a horse? Viggo's horse?

We need pics.

You did the right thing, trying to finish a fight with a drunk redneck in the woods, at night, outnumbered and assuredly outgunned is not a wise move.

Who is Hildalgo though?!

You did nothing wrong, and a lot right, fighting back with an idiot when he has friends to back him up in the middle of nowhere would have been foolish. It's not the end of the world, you weren't beaten to a pulp, so just go on with your life and don't listen to these e-thugs.

QFT

If I have to take one hit to the face to prevent 20 other hits I will, or if I have to take one hit to the face to end a fight I will also do that too. I'd much rather end up NOT having to hurt someone than end up in trouble with the law paying for hospital bills. ER visits are expensive.

It's too bad about the whole situation though. I feel bad for the guys kids and for the girl. It seems like one of those situations where you just want to not even be a part of. The whole really young girl hanging out with 36 y/o man w/ kids just seems like a shady situation to be around. I really suggest you wipe your hands clean from the situation, accept any apologies that may be offered and leave it at that. Offer no apologies, offer no rides, and extract as much wisdom as you can from the whole situation. If you hang out with those kinds of people, those are the kinds of situations you will be put in.

Edit: I read it again and realized that it wasn't the boyfriend that punched him in the face.

If your story is true and accurate, then you should file assault charge with the cops against Hildago.

Go see a doctor and have your face check out. Send Hildago and his parents the bill. I doubt it that you will see any money or you could sue them in small claims court.

Bro you were in a trailer park with a bunch of drunken trailer trash, that's why you got punched in the face. Hidalgo is probably pissed because the liquor store ran out of Mad Dog 40/40. In any case, the girl that you live with has no problem with these goings on so I definitely wouldn't p!ss on fire to put her out at this point. Hope you can still enjoy the rest of your long weekend.

Sorry if its long..

Maybe you guys can explain it to me..

I am living with 2 roomates this summer in Phoenix while interning. All 3 of us are summer interns for the same company, one guy I lived with last summer (John) & one girl (Amber) previously unknown to us; she just moved in last Saturday.

Memorial Day weekend is our only 3 day weekend of the summer. I wanted to see parts of Arizona that I didnt see last summer. From Monday on, Amber kept saying how she wanted to go up to Flagstaff (2.5 hrs north, where she goes to college) to see her friends, but she complained that she didn't have any money for gas.

I had heard that there was some good nature and Indian ruins to see up there so I wanted to go also. I offered to drive and pay for the gas if she could find me a floor to sleep on (I thought it was fair, but maybe not?)

The friend she tried to set us up with was kinda sketchy - difficult to get ahold of, she's a 20 year old dating a 36 year old guy with kids..finally Amber figured out that she was going camping, and I said that would be ok also..I borrowed a cot and a sleeping bag from a co-worker and we headed up there on Friday after work.

I met her friends, they seemed nice enough but definitely didnt go out of their way to make me feel welcome. BTW, their idea of camping is bringing a trailer to a campground..

I didn't want to be too much of a burden, so early in the morning I left the campsite and went to see the national parks and Flagstaff..I tried talking to Amber to find out what was going on (even offered to take her somewhere to watch her favorite Pistons play) but she seemed very 'cool'. Pretty hard to get in touch with also, don't know if she was ignoring the phone/my calls or the service was bad (probably all 3).

When I finally headed back to the site, I got there around 10 PM (struggled to find it in the dark, and couldn't reach Amber or her friend)..I finally figure out where I'm at, go lookign for her in a trailer to find out about when we were leaving on Sunday..she's like, we're all going to bed, its been a long day, I recommend that you do too (and she gave me the look, like wtf are you doing here??)..I ask her about her phone, she says she shut it off, I told her that made it kinda hard to call, heh

I go back out of the trailer, and over to where a few ppl are BBQin, they offer me some food..one guy tells me that Hidalgo is looking for me, he wants to ask me about Hank, mentions that he is going to make taco meat out of me? I kinda played it off, because I had only briefly met Hank the previous night, he's the 36 year old boyfriend

Practically, next thing I know, drunk Hidalgo is up in my face, asking me if I have a problem with Hank, of course I say no, but he punches me in the face! Then keeps going after me as I fall to the ground, takes 3 guys to pull him away from me, and Hidalgo's still stuggling with them

I'm stunned, one guy escorts me to my car, that he doesnt know why and he doesn't care, he tells me just to leave, I still don't understand..I drive the 2.5 hrs back to Phoenix and leave the girl there (she didn't answer her phone anyway)

Why did this happen?
-Did I ask too much out of Amber, and she sent him thru Hank?
-He's drunk idiot looking to fight, I think I had heard that he was in a fight earlier
-Bad karma? (ok, I admit it, I went to the bathroom and ate the breakfast at the Hampton Inn this morning, but I promised myself I'd stay there next time to make up for the $2 breakfast..)

Regardless, while I will hopefully never see those other ppl again, I have to live with Amber for 10 more weeks..


..drunks never make sense. Afterall..their drunk and dismiss reckless and foolish behavior to their drunkenness. And sooner or later he'll pull that crap with somebody who knows how to take full advantage of a drunk and clean his clock and set him up for exploratory dental surgery. Every dog has his day.

Kick that Amber b1tch to the curb.......she knew what was about to go down based on her "suprise" that you showed up there......she was probably talking sh1t about you to these other guys........

This Amber person sounds like a nasty piece of work. You sound like a decent guy who was taken advantage of by a very nasty person.

Hey you meet some of the most intersting people in Trailer Parks. Haven't you ever seen an episode of Cops?

It's rampant stupidity like this which needs to be avoided.

Anyhow, I think that leaving was just the best thing you could have done. I also would be very clear with Amber that you want nothing to do with her ever again and that you would prefer never to see or talk to her again. I think if you just got back to the house and pretend it didn't happen it would, in a sense, signal to her that it is totally okay for her to use you again.
