woot I got mugged

edited March 2007 in Social Entropy++
So I'm walking home from work at around 4pm in clear daylight when some dude comes up behind me. He calmly tells me "If you dont want to get hurt give me your wallet" while pointing something through his pocket that could have been a gun or just as easily his finger. I reply "Are you.. serious??" to which he repeats his previous sentence. At this point I'm pretty stunned that something like this is happing during the day in a pretty nice neighborhood. I hand over the wallet and the dude runs away while I'm left standing there with my mouth open.

I hear about this shit happening on the news all the time this being NYC and all but I never really imagined this would happen to me in a million years. I was left feeling many different things after it was over. Anger, panic, sadness. I can't help but run the incident over and over in my head. Was giving over my wallet with ~$200 and various cards really the only "smart" decision in that situation? On one hand if he really did have a gun or was capable of "hurting" me in some other way it really wouldn't be worth risking my health for some cash. On the other, I felt like a pussy giving in to this wanker that I could have instead beat the shit out of if he was unarmed.

    Since this is the internet, I'm going to claim that I would have karate chopped him in the neck.

    Eh, I'd have done the same, tossed my wallet at him.

    But I'm pretty sure I'd have tried to follow him. I doubt that Mr. Stickup is an expert marksman, so I'd feel pretty safe following about a hundred yards behind, while calling 911.

    Well you did the smart thing, is all I can say. Better taking it safe and thinking the worst of the guy in front of you than trying to be a badass and running the risk that you guessed wrong.

    No, you tear the crocidiles jaw off, throw it at the sniper so he falls on the ground, and then the bear goes for the easier meal.

    should've tried appealing to his human side

    maybe looked him square in the eye and said ''you forgot, man...''

    Dude, you've got skinny little girl arms, not even xena girl arms. Only if you shriek while you flap wildly would I suggest doing that.

    I would have motioned to give it to him, but then dropped it just before he grabbed it, so his focus breaks, and you are free to kick him in the face as he looks down or even bends down to pick it up.

    Hard to say what I would actually do in such a situation. I probably wouldn't have cash on hand as I am rather broke at the moment and he wouldn't get much use out of any cards either. That being the case I would probably just throw him the wallet and cancel my account. The joke is on that fucker regardless though.

    A friend of mine told me he got mugged on an NYC subway, and they got his wallet, cell phone and iPod.

    Turns out, what he wasn't telling me was that he passed out drunk on the train, and someone cut open his pockets while he slept.

    If we're talking his body weight, I'd believe it.

    Jesus, I hope you weigh less than that, because benching your own weight is par for the course.

    haha. To slow jaily!

    t TFS, Yes, I eat quite a lot actually. I just have a fast metabolism(sp?). My dad was the same why. He could eat and eat, and never really gained weight.

    So did you report the mugging or anything basino?

    I'm not sure how you would handle that as opposed to straight up theft though where you can report the items stolen.

    I went home, called 911 and filed a report with the cops about 40 min after it happened. I didn't have my cell phone on me and for some reason the idea of using a pay phone didn't cross my mind.

    You should probably consider not carrying around 200 in cash too.

    I dunno, I think that the ideal thing to do would be to break his focus and somehow knock him to the ground, then just start scratching at his face while making animalistic screams of horror and screaming out "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" over and over in a blood-curdling tone while gnashing your teeth and such.

    He probably wouldn't try to mug anyone again.

    Yes 20-40 is max that really should be carried. But I'm a restaurant server and I have to carry my tips in cash every work day. I suppose I should find a place to hide it besides my wallet.

    Just put most of your money inside your shoes/socks with maybe $20 in your wallet.

    Like his bank account? Or a box labeled "butt" under his bed so he can still say he keeps his money in his butt?
