Most the time for me, it would be number 2. Whenever this happens when I go out on a Saturday night, I always try and defuse the situation by clearing up any confusion and explaining my side to the guy. However, I have also had times when this has not worked, and I have no choice but to fight.
Nah, I totally max out my FFB settings. My arms/shoulders are the size of trees. If only you could set FFB on the pedals my legs wouldn't look weirdly skinny. xD
Ill stand my ground and keep my pride til im barely breathing. I refuse to let someone take my pride away from me or look down on me. If it involves defending myself physically, it honestly does not bother me.
At the same time, if I've done something wrong, ill apologize, yet at the same time, keep my pride.
I don't see no point in acting surprised and clueless. Its up to you to be well aware of what's going on and being able to read between the lines, and act fast to avoid a fight; and to keep yourself from being beaten up for a stupid reason. I think its best in life to be physically strong (not saying macho man or tough, but strong to hold your own two feet), and at the same time, mentally strong (keeping cool under hot situations and not just going spastic like a fool.)
I'm a security guard in the heart of Sydney city, my job has forced my mentality to hold my own and not to get stepped on, yet at the same time, communicating with an aggravated/drunk someone to avoid a fight.
Does this happen then?, I can't think of any occurance of something like this, at least completely un-provoked, happening in my lifetime, and especially not physical, and I've lived in a some pretty dodgy areas when I was younger.
Happen a few times.
The first time were on town, when someone really whent apeshit on me for a reason uknown at that time. Later it turned out that I looked familiar to one person, and this person did make some troubles..
The other time were in a queve in a themepark in Denmark. Suddently someone got in their head that I were a trouble maker, and really stirred up the mood. It calmed down after I said "I have no idea what I might have done to you, but I am sorry".
Not to sound like an racist, but I agree on this one...
But I guess we could start the human understanding, religions and all that shit discussion if we head in that direction x.x
It happened to me a few times. Most events were on a saturday night, with drunk people starting a fight. Moroccan immigrants like provoking fights too, but they don't fight fair. It starts as a 1 vs 1 fight, but as soon the shit hits the fan his cousins join in. :mad:
Most of the time I'm not the one getting into a fight though. I'm too sober for that. I usually talk my way out of it and wish them a good night. Option three doesn't apply to me, because I never say sorry for something I didn't do.
