Got the s*** beat out of me today

It didn't actually happen to the poster involved (Taruby), it's just an Internet story (though funny, if actually true).

Here is what I think you should do next time it happens: First ask some one to walk with u so u have a witness, second write down his license plate number and description of the guys truck, third If he yells at u just keep walking and dont look back, forth report it to the police as a domestic destrubance. These are at least some helpful tips.

Another suggestion is say Get in ur piece of s**t of a truck and get the hell a way before I call the cops. Then walk 2 a public place and wait about an hour then head home.

These might work.

But what has worked for me is dont make eye contact and keep walking forward dont look back dont say a word and dont look back.

Yes! And wear visible ear plugs or head phones, whether they're plugged into something or not. Then they'd get zero satisfaction.

I've had anger like that before, and that was just involving verbal assult. I could do some serious damage if you got me mad enough, but don't worry, you will cool off, and get over it. Maybe even laugh about what losers they are later.

Congratulations Quartermass. I wasn't intentionally misleading people.I thought that people would notice the inconsistency in the names "Fred Hanifin" and "Gerry Chartier" (Neither of which are my name, by the way).

I assume this story in particular is a figment of the author's imagination, although I'm not saying the processes and elements used in it are farfetched because people are actually stupid enough to fall for that kind of scheme.

Anyway, I don't quite believe in violence because all it would do is escalate the problem unless you actually succeed in destroying the opposition. Like, when you get in a fight, if you lose, they can do all sorts of things to you (i.e. mug you, send you to the hospital, rape, etc.) and if you win, unless they have no idea who you are, you'll have to always watch your back in case they're the type to seek revenge. I agree with the poster about getting their licence plate, with that kind of knowledge, you have an upper hand against them, espedcially if they don't know who you are. With successful stalking skills, you might even figure out where they live and maybe send anonymous letters that'll create paranoia or recreate the joke a little earlier (Think of it like a matchmaking programme for delinquents). =P

Well, stay safe~

In terms of more pressure, I'm guessing a protective cat would make a good defense thingy. Like papercuts, can't really see cat scrathes but they hurt like hell.

I've had people insult me from passing cars. As a result, I learned to remember license plates from glancing at them for a second. This is especially easy when it's a vanity license plate. You can then call your local police department (on a non-emergency line), and say the driver was harassing you. Also, carry a tear gas spray in case the confrontation gets physical. Tear gas is better because it's less likely to get you labeled as a wuss (if you're male). Namely, tear gas is used by riot control squads, while pepper sprays are typically used by women walking alone.

about the truck - story. Best way IMO would have been to ignore the people who insult you. These situations tend to happen once in a while in life and it is a question of how much importance you attach to what cretins think or say about you. Self-discipline in these cases is vital and virtuous.
Now that the situation escalated it is probable that the guy and his friends might start bullying you (if you see them frequently at your school). I happen to have noticed that people who insult or spit at others normally don't actually dare to do anything more, because they can't assess your strength. But now that he has actually beaten you, it is as if he had crossed an invisible line of respect.
Best thing is you avoid seeing this individual or is friends eye-to-eye again, it would only add more affronts to your self-esteem.
Pepper spray as means of self-defence is OK, but if you get any other weapon wrought out of your hand by the aggressor, then he might use it against you recklessly. Weapons can get you in even more trouble.

i dont know if they have recommende u this,but PEPPER SPRAY,its awesome,u spray someone in their eyes and they go to the floor like babies and cant do anything for 40 minutes plus it burns like hell and its the worst pain any of those weak cowards will experience in their lives,trust me,get yourself some online,they are unexpensive and really good to hide,take one with you everywhere it has like 10 shots in the small can.
good luck next time

peace


p.s:this goes to anyone,pepper spray can save your live and an ass whooping too.and its legal in most states ,theres like 3 states that to carry one u need to get sprayed first to get it,if thats the case think about it,because its a good defence weapon.

Just a quick note to say that I probably wouldn't use something like pepper spray if the person lives locally. He knows where you live and who your family are, therefore he could harm you (or your family) if this escalates.

I thought I had heard the story before, and I decided on a tactic that I'm not sure others had thought of: research. I've got a three-page printout of this story.

Nobody out smarts AspieMan (Quatermass).

Exactly. I always carry around my Cat Launcher that I copied off of Family Guy. NO ONE MESSES WITH ME!! !!

When someone insults you from a passing car, the first thing you should do is look behind you. Why? Because then, you completely take the insult off yourself, acting as if the driver intended to insult someone else. When the driver sees you look behind, he or she will think you weren't even insulted. After all, you "assumed" the insult was directed at someone else. This is especially effective if there are many pedestrians on the street. But even on an empty street, when you look behind, you make the driver think he or she was insulting someone else.

Good one. Thanks.

I was yelled at by a drunken dickhead in a passing car last night whilst riding my razer scooter home. He yelled "why dont you get a real car?". I was pissed off and wanted to yell back at him f*** you dickhead. However in order to avoid confrontation I simply glared at him and kept going that way making it clear I was annoyed but avioiding possibly trouble.
