Ahh I must confess, 3 weeks ago, I had a friend who went to a party with me, I told him to behave. He ignored me and became intoxicated. I took great pleasure in knocking on his front door at 2 in the morning while holding him in one arm and the remains of his bottle of gin in the other. His mother answered the door and i said, "I believe these belong to you." and handed his dumb butt and a quarter bottle of gin over. All his mom asked was, "did he do that by himself" while looking at the bottle. I answered yes and went home.
Now I feel like a snitch...
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
It was that or leave him by the side of the road, wasn't it? The bottle might have been unnecessary, but it's not like his mom didn't need to know he was drunk and might choke on his own vomit.

So, CT, what do we have to promise to get the barfight story out of you?
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Oh man, it was a hoot!
We were travelling back from Miami, and it was me, my husband, and our boss tucked in the corner of one of those airport bars. We were half-blocking the aisle, and so I asked a guy at the counter if he would mind if I moved the empty barstool next to him just down a foot or two (to clear a fire exit line, although I didn't say that).
He said "no" and pulled the chair closer to him. There was a sort of hand gesture toward some guy standing behind the bar who was turned away.
The guy on the stool looked to be over six feet, built like a lumberjack, with a totally square upper body and a big, thick black mustache. He smelled of beer, even though it wasn't yet noon.
I said something like "oh, okay," and wiggled our chairs and luggage around to sort of clear a space.
I sighed, loud and heavy, in pure delight that we'd made it to the airport on time, gotten through security, and had everything and everyone together and intact.
The sigh didn't go over too well. (David posits that he might have had a passive-aggressive wife) ...
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
Obviously since you say it was "a hoot" you weren't injured too badly...

Deep, very unfriendly growl. "You got a problem?"
Me, still musing on life, completely unaware, thinking he was being friendly and concerned for a stranger in need. "Oh, no! Just so glad we are here on time, and that it [the meeting in Florida] is finally over." Hands waving and breezy smile.
"So, you don't got a problem."
"No, everything is absolutely fine." (I am starting to pick up on the very weird vibe.)
"Absolutely?"
"Yes, absolutely."
He grunts and turns back around.
Later, when we got on the plane, I asked David if I'd almost gotten into a barfight in front of our boss. He said, "No, you almost got me into a barfight, and I would've been toast."
Although I have to admit, I have clocked a guy on the chin once, and I do sometimes kind of itch to get attacked again, 'cause I'd love to see what I can do with digging my claws in and pounding some guy's face into the floor. But only if he starts it.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
It's awful to say, Sara, but I sometimes feel the same way.
I was walking with my friend Ralph at lunchtime on Friday, and there were these two guys... one of them apparently was fond of my appearance and felt the need to comment on it loudly, for a substantial period of time, while strolling through Marshell Field's.
I did a very good job of ignoring it for the first 4 or 5 minutes or so, and then as our paths were diverging he pushed it just a little too far, and I felt the need to respond. Ralph afterwards said "You really should do that when you're with a bigger guy than me." I told him that if my words started a fight, I'd take care of it myself, but he didn't seem to think that was acceptable.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Yeah. I hear you, on both parts.
Edit: It never occurs to me that someone would "have to get into a fight for me." Or even consider it. My problem = I take care of it. End of story.

Bingo!
I try to ignore things like that when I'm with other people, because I know it makes them uncomfortable. But when I'm by myself, I always talk back to street harassers, on the theory that otherwise they think it's okay to continue. If less people just kept silent and took it, people would be less likely to think they can get away with it.

The problem is the other person may not limit it to you.
I was with a girl who mouthed off at some guy in a mall when I was in high school. He came after me with three people and cornered me in a Hallmark store. He said, "We're going to kick your ass."
I had a box cutter in my pocket (I worked in the warehouse of a Bradlee's - think K-Mart, but grimier). I pulled it out and said, "I don't think so." He took a half-step back and I took off.
I ended up getting picked up by security. The idiot who attacked me came back to "press charges."
The security guard wouldn't listen to me. Thank God he called the real cops. Turns out the guy who came after me was wanted for assaulting his mother. The cop cut me loose and arrested him.

Glad you made it through okay, Dag. *wince
I try not to get into fights for the very reason that there are some extremely nasty characters out there. With this guy, once I picked up on what was going on, I put on my bright and charming air. He was drunk, even though it was not yet noon, and what I had done could well be misconstrued. (I swear, though, that my sigh was out of pure happiness, and I'd completely forgotten about him. Which was why I was so surprised when he expressed concern for my welfare -- really, it seemed quite sweet at first.)
But, jimminy pete. Enough with the chip on the shoulder. [not you, Dag, just guys in bars]
It actually worked out fine. His friend came back and sat next to him, and their barstools were so close that he was "sharing" a seat with his buddy.

Ladies, women lib only goes so far.
Dig deeply enough and most men will rise to the occasion, especially if it's a woman we care about.
Whether it's a guy who won't hit a woman but will cheerfully pound on the guy with her to the guy who may have nothing invested in the woman nearby but feels a personal need to rise to the occasion, there will be violence.
I find it amusing that most men understood almost instantly the implications of violence and the how’s, whys and wherefores violence would be initiated on their behalf, yet the women at the time were fairly oblivious.
Personal storytime I flew up for a friend's wedding - his fiancée and her girl friend picked me up from the airport.
She gets into a honking match with the car in front of her.
The car in front of her? Decorated like a Mardi Gras float with "Semper Fi" and "US Marine Corps" stickers. I couldn't see through the window for the mass of shoulders and heads that filled the back window.
I finally leaned forward and asked my friend's fiancée not to get me killed on my first night in Connecticut.

And that is one of the reasons I try to only do risky things when I am by myself. It's a risk I can take for myself, but not a position I should put anyone else in. (I did apologize to my friend, btw... regardless of my wishes, if things would have turned violent I know he would have been involved, one way or the other.) For myself, I would rather take the risk than be a quiet victim.

Funnily enough, I take the opposite view. If anyone makes a comment, which is pretty rare, thankfully, I don't consider them worthy enough for me to rise to the bait and reply. Let them think what they like about my silence. I usually stick to the most distainful and stoniest look I can summon.
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Sometimes I feel that way, CT and ElJay. Partly it's because I want to exercise the skill in martial arts that I've gottne over the years. But right now I dunno, because I'm out of practice. I still think I could grapple pretty well.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
I don't go looking for fights. Really, I don't. I generally give off more of a nun vibe.
But sometimes the frosty glare is appropriate, and sometimes it isn't. (In this case, ignoring him or shooting a steely look would have likely made things worse).
Sometimes making nice is appropriate, and sometimes it isn't.
Sometimes, I'm sure, physical violence is appropriate. Likely rare cases, but at times, yes.
I'm not about to limit my arsenal of defenses, not at this time of my life. But just because I may occasionally want to take out my aggression, doesn't mean I go picking fights.

I fully acknowledge that if it ever came to a fight I would lose. It would be foolish of me to think otherwise.
It hasn't happened yet. For the most part the guys either throw up a little bravado and then leave or just slink away.
I would not recommend anyone else do what I do. I do it because of specific incidences that have left me feeling this is the best response for me.

Actually, I've discovered a nice thing about this essay. It's allowing me to speculate, which takes no footnotes at all. Right now I have eleven, and I'm on the third page. Sample:
quote: More diverse parties in the house would increase the range of issues that would be discussed, as well as simultaneously broadening the points of view expressed by the members, and giving more strength to a particular idea; a party, even a small one, has more sway than a single member. Party cohesion would also be a necessary side effect- parties, in order to face up to a more diverse opposition, would be forced to take a clearer and more unified stance on issues. A more closely linked party would also reach out to support its members in their campaign, reducing the reliance on the individual sponsors and lessening the danger of bribery.

I've never even been in a fight, so I have no idea how well I could handle myself.

But either way, I have no idea how well I'd do in a fight, and I would hope that any woman I was with would either be tough enough to handle herself, or smart enough not to start fights with people in the hopes that I could bail her out.

punwit, of course I would not stand by and let a friend get beaten if I could help, be that by assisting physically or getting attention/authorities/other help, whichever seemed most prudent at the time. And that goes for strangers, too, not just friends. And I would think most of my friends would do the same for me, and I would hope so.
That is not how the statement was made. The statement was implying fighting for me, not fighting with me. I don't want that, and if someone was foolish enough to try to insist on it I probably would not be their friend after the physical altercation was resolved. I couldn't deal with the lack of respect involved.
Confession: I once prevented a fight from happening (between males) by stepping in to assist. The guys who were about to start beating on my friend thought it was so funny that we all had a good laugh and they walked away. My friend made a comment about the fact that there were two of them and one of him...
Me: It's two against two, I've got your back. Aggressors: *jaw drop* Friend: Yeah, she does my light work. Aggressors: Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Glad he had a quick wit and they had a sense of humor. Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
I suppose I didn't see the possible reference in Khavanon's reply that you did. I was looking at it from purely a "I'll save my friend from a beating if it is within my power" pov and didn't even think it might be interpreted as a "Oh jeez, why do you open your big mouth and expect me to save you" pov. I can see now where the comment could be viewed that way. I knew you weren't the stand idly by type and I'd feel secure with you guarding my back. Remember, I've seen you in action.

This is a confession? This should be a badge of honor.
Liking Buffy something that needs confessing. Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

ElJay,
I had tried searching for the OOC thread when I got back from BobnDanaCon, but couldn't find it that time. So, I did it the hard way, but I found it.

) It's actually kind of surprising that no one's ever attacked me, considering the smart mouth I've always had and the fact that I didn't learn to control it till I was in my twenties. But either way, I have no idea how well I'd do in a fight, and I would hope that any woman I was with would either be tough enough to handle herself, or smart enough not to start fights with people in the hopes that I could bail her out. ![[Cry]](graemlins/cry.gif)
