You know me from somewhere?

You have a question about something?

Yeah, I didn’t think so.

“Yea man, I was just wondering if you remembered me from High School. But if your gonna be a dick, fuck you.”

What the hell kind of bars do you hang out in? I very seldom see a confrontation when I’m out. Aside from that I know how to avoid trouble by paying attention to my surroundings and avoiding trouble.

One bar I used to frequent all the time was like fucking Roadhouse. The bouncer was a huge black cat who was an ex(?) banger and was fucked up on southern comfort and coke all the time. He’d be selling coke on the side of the bar, and people would be blowing it in the bathroom. There was blood on the floor in that place every fucking night.

Friends of mine got stomped there once, another shattered a pint glass on a guy’s face another time. I had one guy try to fight me for saying, “Excuse me” as I was walking through.

It took a while but I outgrew that place. Other places are either in the hills or the ghetto, and I’ve seen shit go down at all of them.

Maybe I attract the wrong kind of people.

Maybe we don’t have as many wanna be tough guys here, or I’m big enough( I’m not that big), to old, or to married that people don’t seem to bother me.

Of course,a round here in Pa. I don’t see to many jacked guys. They don’t worry me at all. It’s the guys with guns that worry me. A 380 backup beats 275 lbs and a 500 lb bench if you’re not careful.

The best course I ever took was a lethal self defense course involving firearms. The instructors spent a lot of time teaching you how to be observant of your surroundings. I’ve dealt with the staring thing one time while out with a buddy a few years ago. I just ignored him but paid attention. He was very drunk and looking to be belligerent. the walked up behind my friend and I and called us a couple of faggots. I did not know this drunk ass.

I knew right where he was and already he had no weapon. After a minute or two of being ignored he sat back down and seemed to forget what he did. I was ready if he did anything, but it was a lot smoother night with no hassle which probably would not have been the case with a confrontation.

Ignoring them while you pay attention is the best idea. In the gym it could be as X said, you’re doing something right. Maybe the guy wants a spot or needs a hand.

I say it all the time- awareness is the key. I agree.

When we’re young we tend to look for excitement. Get a little older and you look for a nice night out. I’m mostly out with my wife and we’re together, so we very seldom attract negative attention. and we live in redneck land out here in Pa.

A few weeks ago I had a little confrontation with a drunkass rainman crazy type, but that didn’t go anywhere. He was tossed and banned. But that was the first in years for my wife and I.

Pa. has rednecks?? Where?

Everywhere. Probably a larger population of rednecks than some southern states. We might have the most deer hunters out on our first day, maybe even more than Texas. We have a lot of farms, small coal mining towns, quad trails and so on.

They’re EVERYWHERE?!?!? OH SHIT!!! starts packing

Well, yeah, i’m aware of those areas, but I just never thought of Pa. to be a redneck harboring state, that’s all.

Come to think about it, I was seeing this girl and we went to visit her mother, who lived in upstate Pa. and it was a tiny little town. They had a Walmart that had just opened and that was a pretty big deal.

So, yeah, I can understand what you’re saying.[/quote]

Yep, I have a B.S. in biology and a degree from a chiropractic college, but still hunt, shoot, reload and yes, I’m going to see a monster truck show tonight.

Stare at them right back and risk getting into a verbal confrontation/fight, or just glance and walk away? Where I live there’s always morons who think their hardcore trying to stare you down, what do you guys normally do?? and am I pussy if I just glance at them and then stare right ahead as I walk by when this happens??[/quote]

Stare at them right back and say “Hey baby, you like what you see?”

Here in Hawaii we call it da “stink eye”. I know when I lived in cali and went on road trips every car that passes you everyone in the car (including small kids) stare at you as they/you pass like its cool. Do that here and a tribe of the biggest Samoans known to man run you off the road and take turns sitting on your chest and saying things like “UFA KEFE!!”. Yah the stink eye dont play round here. SO best advise just ignore it.

It doesnt matter how alpha you are when a group of 17 angry Samoans packed into CRX jump out with pipes and bats and guns. Even the biggest Hawaiian/Samoans learn to mind your own and dont play into bullshit as kids. You will get beat down. Most of the Usos and kanakas that are nuts like that are locked up but they get paroled everyday.

“Dueling Banjos” is such a happy, upbeat tune. Has it been used as background music in violent movie scenes? I have heard about “Deliverance” but never actually seen it. Surely not “Dueling Banjos” for the violent parts?

My solution to this problem lately has to simply whisper, “Seulement entre toi et moi”, hand him an unloaded pistol, take ten steps away from him, turn and fire my loaded pistol. However, he does continue to stare until they put the silver dollars on his eyes.[/quote]

Lol

17 Samoans packed into a CRX? With weapons? Isn’t this more suited for the 100 midgets thread???

DB

I handle it like Fergie Ferg: if that shit was suspicious, I blow kisses.
