Neat ways to get out of a fight

Patient7 · May 22, 2008, 01:12:02 PM

I recently discovered that if a person is saying theiy're going to "kick your ass" just tell them that they wont. When I say this I mean they wont even take a punch because I'm not worth it, but they interpret it as they wont be able to. If you say it in a calm and collected manner then they'll just get really p**sed off then shut up.

That's no fun.

If someone is going to bother to warn me, it's nothing a fist to the eye socket, grab to the the nads, or slamming their head into the nearest solid object can't solve.

Of course, if you are at a bar, or otherwise seedy joint, a pool cue, bottle, or ambush is usually your only warning if someone is serious about fighting with you.

Or, you could always take the advice of the great Bas Rutten...

I was a rather scrawny kid in high school, and my Mom was the Junior/Senior English teacher, so I might as well have had a target painted on my forehead. One time I was in the bathroom as a freshman when three seniors walked in and saw me and came for me. I started growling like a rabid dog and slobbering all over myself and trying to bite them . . . they backed off and I RAN for the door!

Not my proudest moment, but I didn't get beat up either. Now I'm a third degree black belt, and no one tries to mess with me.

I'm curious...

Do you suppose that not being a kid in school anymore has anything to do with staying out of fights, or do you actually wear your black belt wherever you go?

Probably the fact that I am not in high school, and am a fairly sizable fellow at 250 pounds . . . .

When I was a kid and later in the military I got in a lot of fights ... might be because I started most of them.

But now being older, wiser I rarely encounter anyone that gets fighting stupid. That's something that come with age.

The best way to avoid a fight is to walk away. It's the old saying it takes a bigger man to walk away. Took me a long time and assorted victories and losses to figure that out.

I actually bite a guy in the neck once. He walked up to me and my brother Richie on Long Island and told us to sell him some weed. I told him and don't smoke pot. He called me a liar and pushed me against a parked car. So I spit in his face. he grabbed hold of my shirt...so I jumped up-(I'm kinda-well-REAL short) and got him inna headlock. he grabbed my nards,so...I bite his neck. He let go of me quick. He was bleeding too. A cop pulled up and busted it up....he had watched the whole thing! He told me and my brother to move on....he and the other guy had a talk,maybe he got busted. I dunno.

I got inna fight outside a bar too. Some creep in the bar got p**sed because I was talking to some girl he liked. I only went in to buy a bottle of whiskey. He shoved me. I said"Hell with it." And walked out. Once outside....I walked up to the window and tapped on it. He looked-I gave him the bird. He tore out the bar and started punching my head. I leaned against the wall and covered my head with my arms. His girlfreind ran out hollering. He stopped for a sec-I pulled the pint outta my pocket and slammed it bottom first into his head. It busted and I got booze and blood all over my shirt and hand. He fell down...I ran...to the store. I bought another bottle and went home. The lady in the store looked at me real weird! (I'm kinda weird looking anyway....

)

Bela has been a bad influence on you.

I'm almost willing to bet that he was an undercover cop trying to score a bust.

Grab to the nads...?

You are so bad, Menard!

As for me, I've been jumped by three guys (not good) beat the sh*t out of an old roommate (he deserved it) had major slugfests with two guys that are two of my best friends, and when I was a kid ...Crap! I was also scrawny and short (now I'm 6 ft) so I was always getting pushed around. You learn alot gettin' pushed around, for one thing, don't take it. Better to get a black eye, bloody nose, bruised knuckles... however, as CHEEZEE offered, when you get older you learn to avoid that crap. I been good 'long time.

Fighting must be a guy thing. I've never been in a fight in my life. I was always scared and mousy in high school. Now if someone tried, they'd be dead before they hit the ground *lol*

Nobody has the right to touch me without my permission, let alone in a violent way. I tell my son never to start a fight, but absolutely finish one. He's 6' 1" and 95 kgs (about 200lbs), so anyone who picks him deserves to get pummelled. He's actually a very peaceable person, which is nice. And he's at that wonderful age (17) where he feels he can protect me if need be.
