"i beat yo ass"

Post Reply New Topic

at the bus stop, a woman was screaming things like "i beat yo ass!" @ four people. the four people tried to tell her to go away. she kept barking @ them. at one point it appeared that she kicked someone. they told her to go away and she did. they got on the bus.

how often does someone tell you "i beat yo ass?". what was your answer?

It's been awhile but I'm prone to (calmly) daring people to follow through on those sorts of threats.

I've always been pretty game and don't really have much of a sense of humour when it comes to people threatening me with violence or trying to assault me.

I find a lot of people who wish to be physically menacing back off when you insist that they s**t or get off the pot, because the point of their behaviour wasn't to get into a fight, it was a bluff. I've also found that shutting down someone else's attacks is often even more effective than just beating their ass, possibly because it makes the other party question their ability to control the situation well before you've played your full hand and escalated to a full-on fight.

I use sticky hands a lot when seeking to shut down someone's attempt at striking me.

No one has ever said that to me.

No one has used those exact words to me, but I've heard the equivalent. As someone who shifts quickly into flight or flight mode, but who is usually disinclined to flee, I'd say, "Try it."

No one told me that.

And if they do, depends where and when.

But overall, anyone who threatens me of unwarranted violence all the sudden gets to be treated like a tantruming kid accordingly in my eyes.

I could care less if they're 2 heads taller than me and ripped -- I deem them that they're being immature.

And if they're actually being anti-social like (they don't calm down, they don't listen or deescalate, likely to follow through whatever threat) that's another matter.
Not going to discuss the subject of self defense, only that I'm not afraid to get hit.

No I haven't had that pleasure yet. Sounds like the poor woman had lost her reason, but I'd probably not have had a crumb of sympathy if she'd gone off like that anywhere near me.

There was a man in Sheffield town centre who seemed to be deliberately colliding with people. Don't know what his problem was, didn't care either. I was probably wise to avoid him.

I suppose there'll always be the occasional weird aggressive thing like that going on. Some kind of madness I guess.
