    The adrenaline though made me feel fucking amazing.

    Like straight after the fight, driving back to the shop I felt goddamn amazing.

    An hour afterwards I cried like a baby, but immediately afterwards I was all, well I fucking get what the fighting part in fight club was about.

    That's actually what you should do. Throw it away from yourself and run the other way.

    "Hand over the wallet lady."

    "You made the mistake of messing with the tri-county women's league all-star pitcher."

    And you throw the wallet and they have to go chasing after it.

    For serious. The adrenaline dump after something like that is crazy. Your emotions go crazy and you'll be all twitchy.

    My mom was kidnapped once, taken into a car. She got away thankfully but now she's super careful.

    Like I said.

    I thought fight club was a good idea non-ironically.

    I'm attributing the delay of asskicking to:
    #1 Trying to zip up

    #2 Trying to protect this female friend

    #3 The possibility he was already drunk

    $50 on #1 and #2

    I don't know if she was in a ghetto then or what. She had a stalker or something and cops were involved. They'd taken her by knifepoint but thankfully someone saw them take her and called 911.

    So now that we've heard of friends and relatives having troubles with the drug cartels in Mexico (ransoms and kidnaps) she refuses to let any one go anymore. All our family still in Mexico comes to visit us instead.

    I like to think I would do something badass and fight off a mugger if it ever happened to me, but in reality I'm short and weak and have no martial arts training so I'd probably throw the wallet and run. And then be really mad at that jerk mugger afterwards.

    2 and 3 are on the right track

    also the fact that generally you should comply with muggers but he threw my phone and I was about to text the new girl i'm seeing

    apparently drunk mike was perfectly fine with him taking the hundred dollars but getting between me and my booty call was where I drew the fucking line

    i had two dudes in clearly trying to rob our store last week

    one had been loitering around for at least an hour that day, wouldn't accept any help, wouldn't stay in one spot or look at specific items. the other guy came in and was the diversion guy, asking dumb questions, knocking shit over, being loud and obnoxious. obviously he was the one not to pay attention to. after a while i actually had a real customer, and i was feeling a bit overstretched with controlling the situation, so i ended up going over to the shifty guy and i said 'look, you've been here for ages, i'm not comfortable, if there's nothing i can help you with i'm going to ask you to leave.' he started muttering, swearing at me, but he left, and he signalled the other guy totally unsubtly on the way out. who, in turn, promptly left the pile of kids' crap he'd accumulated on the counter without buying any of it.

    idiots. i felt pretty dumb for creating conflict with a thief over a few grafitti pens or the petty cash tin, but damned if i'm going to stand there for another hour while these guys wait for another tough moment and slip in to the back office

    I have never been mugged nor seen a mugging, but I saw a dude getting beat up before. Back in high school there was this place that had local band shows, and a lot of them were punk shows. Back then I was a punker wannabe. Anyway, there was this skinny kid with thick glasses who was ALWAYS there because they had arcade machines, but he was a dick to everyone and would often tell people they couldn't play Metal Slug unless they beat him at Samurai Showdown or something like that. Well one night this guys lady friend told the skinny kid to stop being a dick and he called her a few choice names, so her guy and his friends took the guy outside to beat him up. I stood by and let this happen because he was being an ass and some people just need to learn.

    4 guys beating on him and he yells "KAIOKEN!" and just starts swinging, busted a guys lip and hit one in the nose hard enough to make it bleed. The guys backed off and the skinny kid bolted. Didn't see him there after that, But thats when I knew, I had met Son Goku, and he was a dick.

    When we went to buy my dad's cell phone the store owner told us he had gotten robbed two weeks ago. Almost. The thieves were not experienced. A theft should be committed quickly. This took 15 minutes.

    "Where is the cash!?"

    "Dude, everyone pays in credit cards. I'll open the register for you."

    The thieves realized they had looted the wrong place. There was practically nothing. They were starting to get agitated and they were armed. The manager had to try to relax the thieves, "Look it is gonna be alright we are gonna get this done fast, okay? I will open the safe for you guys."

    But the thieves were caught. They also struck too early. There was a throng of people watching them from the In-n-Out Burgers across the busy street. The cops arrived quickly.

    We had a few fun moments when I worked at GameStop, but my favorite was when I was working at a mall store to help out, this guy stood by the new PS2 controllers for about a half hour and was the only one in the store and refused help of all kinds. The manager reconigized him as a guy who was stealing at this store, and selling to the one upstairs and vice versa. So he told me to keep the guy busy while he went to get the cops (theres a police station in our mall and a few happen to be talking to security guards at the little booth that sold gift cards RIGHT OUTSIDE THE STORE. So I go over, give him the spcheel about reserving some games, and while talking to him I notice he obviously tried to shove 3 or 4 ps2 controllers into the front pocket on his hoodie. I say try because they have giant packaging. The cops wait for him outside the store then ask him to empty his pockets, as he took his hands out of his hoodie two of the controllers fell out. I would think if I ever stole I would smarter then this.

    it was one of the best moments of my life. It would have been better if the dude wasn't an ass most of the time. Also I think I was the only person there who knew what Kaio-ken was.

    I got mugged in Mongolia. Tried to bash my head in with a rock, but I pushed the guy down, squirmed away from the other one and ran.

    place I used to work at nearly got robbed once

    see the robbers decided to strike on sunday night, which is the night when the kitchen / food and beverage managers do inventory

    so around 3 AM the guys walk out of the office after finishing up, talking to each other, and at the other end of the line there are another two guys in ski masks, talking to each other
    each group acknowledges the other, then double-takes

    the robbers sprint out the back, the kitchen manager follows brandishing his favorite chef knife ("good old Bluey," he said afterwards) but the robbers get away

    The Best Buy in Florida my wife worked at got their entire stock of laptops stolen.

    They kept them locked in cages above the shelves on the back wall. The thieves got on the roof, cut their way through and took every last one of them.

    i don't see her til the weekend

    but telling her i punched a mugger knocked the badass level up to a point where she asked if i was doing anything tonight

    so my money's on yes that'll happen




    i think the biggest triumph was that the $200 jacket I bought from Buffalo is completely unharmed

    A lifetime ago I was involved with stupid teenage tough guy bullshit for the fun of it, and I found myself in front of a gun with a rather pissed off dude behind it. Now I really wish I could say that I did the smart thing and calmly gave him what he wanted and that was that, but I didn't.

    Instead I decided that I would be damned if this prick was going to ruin my setup and tried to get the gun away from him. In the struggle it went off twice, luckily none hit anyone there. I got my ass kicked pretty bad, I lost what I was trying not to lose, and thus ended my teenage dreams of a crime empire. It's a miracle I wasn't just gunned down like I most assuredly deserved.

    Two guys were following me trying to convince me to go down a nice safe alley with them to drink. I wasn't having it, so one of them shouted and this dude comes running from behind a fence with a big fucking rock.

    Hooch. Takes a lot to get drunk when you weigh over a thousand pounds. I know...from experience.
