Freaked out

By CriminalMistake - 04/05/2009 05:08 - United States

Today, I was leaving a campus parking garage. Suddenly, a huge man appeared behind me and kept saying "HEY!" "STOP!" In a gruff voice. I picked up my pace and so did he. I finally turned to him with a can of mace and threatened to use it. He was trying to return the $5 bill I dropped. FML

Today, I noticed someone leaving the parking garage. She dropped a 5-dollar-bill. I picked it up and tried to return it to her, but when I caught up to her, she turned around and threatened to spray me with mace. FML.

lol at #2 But yeah I once saw an old man drop his glasses without realising, so being a good citizen, I picked them up and ran after him. I got punched by a passer-by who thought I was trying to jump the old man. FML

You know, to everyone trying to defend this person, how about using some logic first? When someone is trying to hurt you, they don't stomp behind you, or shout "prepare to get robbed!", or make wolf calls before rushing you, THEY DO IT QUITELY. If they're asking you to stop, they (probably) have a decent reason to. No self-respecting criminal/rapist/mugger would announce their arrival before doing their dirty deeds. Have you ever heard of a rapist who announced his intentions? Or a mugger who whipped out his knife 25 feet away from you? You definitely deserve it. I can understand paranoia, we live in a dangerous world, but not everyone is out to kill you.

For the record, predators have used the tactic of pretending to try to return a "dropped bill" to you to get you close enough to them, or to get you to open your car door, or whatnot.

#87 lives in a world of ninjas, apparently.

@#65: I'm a Black Belt in Taekwondo and a State Champion in sparring, but I still wouldn't be stupid enough to attack someone unnecessarily. Like someone said earlier, the first thing you learn in self defense classes is to run first, avoid contact if possible. If he chases you, then turn and fight, but only dumbasses go looking for a fight, and they're the ones who get killed.

#89's comment made my day. :) As for the guy who said that as a man he can't comprehend the fear of rape, yes you can. Imagine if you went to prison~

wow, like a rapist/attacker, would actually WARN you and tell you to stop before doing something, just wow.

Didn't this happen on an episode of Golden Girls?

no, I understand... really, parking garages can be pretty scary sometimes especially if a huge guy appears. although if I were the guy, I'd just say "hey you dropped a $5"
