Do you know how hard it is to jerk-off undetected in a crowded office ?

yeah, it’s Friday night already here! We got flying cars and I already know who wins the NBA finals!
I sued Fency McDouchebagpants because he lives in an HOA where all the fences have to be 3’ split rail, and he put a 20’ section of 6’ privacy fence along his 60’ property line to block the view he had of a neighbor he hated (after he cut down the trees that blocked his view of her house).
He showed up at the return date to file a response. Before he filed, we discussed whether we could negotiate things and settle it out. I had authority to wiggle on some bushes he wanted to plant, but the fence had to go. When I told him I couldn’t bind my client without first running it by them, he got pissed and said, “What good are you if you can’t make a decision on your own? Are you even a lawyer, or are you just the secretary the firm sent down to court today?”
I saw red, but calmly demanded an apology, which he gave.
He tried to stare me down four or five times. He wasn’t very good at it.
He later cried a little. 
Since we couldn’t agree to remove/keep the fence section, we were scheduled for trial. The week before trial he went to my client’s board meeting and talked about how I was “a nice person, but not terribly smart.”
He asked us to show up to trial an hour early so we could try to negotiate. We showed up. He didn’t. He didn’t show up for trial, either. I got judgment, and attorneys fees against him. Fucking douchebag.
The next day, he calls me up with tears in his voice, saying he had been skiing the prior day and thought trial was that day. He filed a motion to set aside. The court told him to fuck off.
Not a nice person, and not terribly smart.
Patience is a great thing to have, let the other guy act like a jerkoff, just showing your patience and general state of calmness, will piss them off even more. If and when it does come time to react you will not feel guilty that you did.
I was 20 and in Columbia, SC out with a now ex-gf. We had just started dating and, as anyone who’s lived in Columbia, SC knows that it’s a pretty big college town (Gamecocks). So, we were up there at a bar in 5 points hanging out outside at a table at a bar, it’s probably 11 or 12 at night so all the college kids are out and drunk (we weren’t exactly sober either) and she gets up to go to the bathroom.
This kid who looked like he was drunk and high on coke sits donw in her seat and proceeds to try to pick a fight with me. I was in the Air Force at the time and knew it wasn’t going to be beneficial to my career/life to oblige this kid by knocking his fucking teeth down his throat, plus his “boys” were within striking distance and it wasn’t going to be a fair fight.
So, my ex comes back and is like “wtf is going on?” and the dude proceeds to try to antagonize me into a fight/her to leave with him like a dirt bag. I keep telling him that it’s in his best interest to leave the situation and I’m getting heated. He stands up and tries to get me to “flinch” but I sit there stone faced.
I slowly get out of my chair to avoid being in a vulnerable position and say to him again and more loudly this time “I think it’s best if you go back to your friends!” At this point my ex gets in between us and peels me away and we leave the patio we were on.
If I had done anything I knew it would’ve ended poorly for me for a few reasons: a.) I was out gunned. b.) I was underage and using a fake id. c.) I wasn’t subject to the same type of punishment as that fucking coddled college kid was and would’ve been a lot more screwed professionally than physically even if I had lost the fight.
some kids at my school talked shit a lot without being provoked, I was always one of the biggest guys in school, 6’1 wide shoulders etc, so they tried to prove they were tough. I usually laughed in their face and said bring it bitch and they didn’t do anything. A couple times I got really pissed…got sucker punched. It didn’t end well for the douche bags. I wouldn’t ever have called it a real fight because…i got hit and they went down but I was usually considerably bigger anyway.

A few years ago, I was sat with cousins and childhood friends when I went back to pakistan to visit them. Conversation turned to politics, at which point they started slagging off jews, claiming that 9/11 was an inside job, and generally chatting shit about western women.
A whole load of cliches packed into one fucking room. I was about an inch away from slitting throats but somehow managed to keep my cool, and thus avert getting a beating.
It took a great deal of muscle control. More than you can imagine.
Have you had moments where you’ve managed to curb it? And in hindsight, are you happy that you did or do you wish that you could go back and smack someone?
PS. If you mention this thread as an example of a moment where you had to keep your cool, fuck you. I’ll eat your pet.[/quote]
A few months ago I ran into some kid who was giving my then GF problems, and somehow brought all that over to me. I’m a personal trainer so I’m up at about 4 AM every / every other day, and this kid would spam call me all through the night with restricted numbers, talk endless amounts of shit about me, talk shit about me and my (then) girlfriend, borderline stalk us, etc. etc. I normally don’t let people get under my skin, and normally am pretty level headed… But there was something about this kid that made me want to punish him…
One day me and a buddy went to a deli, and low and behold I recognize this kids quite fairy looking physique. He walks by my car not thinking I know what he looks like, and I give my obligatory macho comment, close to ‘Still have shit to talk?’. He starts running his mouth about how I’m a pussy, so I step out of my car and get in his face. I was so close to ripping this kids limbs off and beating him to death with them, but kept my cool. He proceeded to call me a “faggot” as he got in the passenger seat of his mother’s Honda Civic, as she drove him off.
Looking back on it, I wish I smashed his face in because it would’ve felt great… But the jail time wouldn’t of… So I guess I made the right choice, as hard as it was to control myself.[/quote]
That wasn’t the right choice. You should’ve beat the shit out of him and his mother and then sterilized her to ensure she couldn’t produce any more vile offspring.

Fellas - good stories. I realise I began this thread about being patient, not reacting etc.
HOWEVER, can we go back to the tangent that was Nards and his dancing lasses?
I don’t get mad, I get even.
I have a “ten-fold rule”. I extract ten times my “damages” from the person responsible. One way or the other. Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes it’s in the moment. Sometimes I make a phone call. Sometimes it costs me money. That’s fine. But I ALWAYS get even.
Karma’s a motherfucker.
Probably not the healthiest attitude, but it has served me well growing up, in prison, and in business. Eventually people realize it’s not in their best interest to fuck with you. So I very rarely get fucked with these days.

I tried that, but when you start a “tell a story about yourself” thread, most people don’t read the responses. Thats what you get.
I got in a dustup what, about a month or so ago with a groundskeeper because he yelled at a couple of my students.
It was a field exercise
We were there first
He came into where we were training and started weed whacking, then yelled at my students while I was away in the bathroom.
It didn’t go well
I was on the edge of breaking his fucking weed whacker over my knee, but somehow, I didn’t.
Ended up having to submit as statement and everything, even had a Lawyer buddy chop on it till I didn’t sound like a douche. Looking back I’m really glad I didn’t go crazy on that lil dicknose.
Back in the day though… Different stories.

My buddy’s dad was joking that he needs a politics + religion button on his cell phone so he could push it and have his phone ring so he could excuse himself from the conversation politely.
