Relax, i'm not looking for tips. There is this guy at work who keeps flipping out all the time and pissing everyone off. I hate angry midgets. I'm 1.5" taller and weight 1.5x more, and he is a smoker - i know i can take him out easily. Problem is, i don't wanna kill the guy. I was just reading that story about the guy killing a smaller guy at a hockey practice and going to jail for 6 years. I don't want that to happen to me. The guy looks really fragile, and whenever i'm about to knock him out, i keep getting this image in my head of him dropping and not getting up. So how easy is it to kill someone? What should i do? Talking to him isn't an option, the guy is a complete idiot. And i don't think that if he flips out on me for the second time, i will be able to ignore him.

As long as you don't hit somebody in the throat, you probably won't kill that person.

Don't get into fights unless the other guy attacks first. If you do, stick to punches (jabs) and aim for the nose. That'll shut 'em up quickly.

Its pretty easy you would probably be able to kill him if you were really pissed off. Maybe you should just threaten the guy.

I try not to. But what if he just doesn't shut up?

<< Have you discussed this situation with your supervisor? >>

I think the midget is going to complain on Monday. He doesn't feel comfortable taking orders from someone who is 20 years younger. Moron.

Most workplaces don't tolerate violence. You might want to complain to your boss.

Hits to the face aren't good. One shot to the nose can drive part of his skull into his brain...leading to death.

<< Kick him in the balls. That'll teach him :p >>



that is the worst thing that could ever happen to a man. Noone deserves that punishment.

the chance of that happening are slim. It has to be very forceful and at the right angle, so don't worry about it. If it were easy, many boxers would be dead, along with anyone that has ever gotten into a fight ;)

Killing someone is not hard at all. Getting away with it, on the other hand...

Basically it's all been said. Don't throw the first punch, don't go overboard if he's already down, etc.

from what you wrote it doesn't sound like the guy is being violent. is he? i'm thinking not and it is a verbal thing and not following manager orders. so that warrants you kicking his ass? have YOU ever consider anger management classes? fight with your mind not your fists, unless he hits you first. grow up.

Avoid the head and neck area and you should be OK. Punching him as hard as you can in the gut will probably knock the wind out of him and not do much permanent damage. Anything else might get you sued for medical bills.

Killing someone by punching them is NOT easy to do.

Believe me, I've been punched by PRO's, and I'm still here.

Much to some peoples chagrin!

The one shot to the nose => instant death strikes me as fantastically unlikely. Much more likely that he'll be hit by a bus on the way to work. It sounds great for martial artists, but in reality, what are the odds? I've been hit in the nose a number of times, as have many other people I know, and I can't think of one who died from it :)

Only in the movies. The chances of this happening are one in a trillion. The cartilage in the nose is not strong at all and could not withstand the force it would require for it to break through bone. It would snap first.

Now if you find this guy dangerous, doesn't mean you have to throw punches. If he comes after you, it's very easy to take him down and keep him there without hurting him badly. Seeing as how this is work related, it sohuld NEVER come to this. Talk to your supervisor, tell him the guy is a prick and you think he is dangerous, and the company will take care of him. The last thing they want is a lawsuit on their hands.

If he isn't physically assaulting you:

intentfully killing him: Dude you're going to prison for life

killing him by kicking his ass: Dude you're going to prison for manslaughter for so long you'd lose the sense of reality

kick his ass: Dude you're going to prison for felony assault. Dude you'd be empty in your pocket after being sued.

threaten him: Dude you'll be having fun in court


otherwise: You're getting a Dell :D :D :D :D

WAIT!!! Don't kill the poor bastard. Just make HIS life hell. You see, this is what practical jokes are for. But take em a few steps further. Here's a list, I'm sure others can help out.

1. Sardines in the air-intake of his car's a/c unit
2. Vasoline all over anything he uses at work

You get the point. Just FVCK his world up and get other people in on it. That way everyone can whistle and pretend they don't know sh!t about it together. Eventually, he'll realize he's not wanted and he'll leave. Also, frame him if you can. "OH NO! My $20 is missing!" "Look what's hanging out of his pocket! It has my name stenciled on it...just the way I left it!"

I agree with some people here: a punch to the schnoz won't kill them...unless you do it say, with the palm of your hand and at an upward angle...hard. That'll send the cartilage(damn spelling) up into their brain and result in a "HEAD SHOT!" ;)

But I still say don't kick his ass. You're bigger, you're stronger...just tell him to shut up in a nasty, low voice as if you had balls:)Q) and try to shut him up. If that doesn't work, then there's the info in the above post by Scarpozzi. :D

Not unless you are Superman. You have to hit REALLY hard to do that to someone. I forget the actual number of lbs of force you have to do, but it's crazy. Almost noone can reach that powerful of a hit.
