Re-read the FML. The OP didn't know she was a danger before trying to help. It was only after the OP approached that the person came to and put the OP in danger..

Basic rule of thumb. Shown a knife, run for your life. Easy peasy. The fact that she had fainted meant she wasn't at 100% for at least a few minutes afterwards. Like I said, outrun her.

I'm pretty sure if that was a possibility she would have. I don't know too many people that say, "hey, look, a knife. I think I'll stick around and see if I'll be in danger or not."

Turn, run, knife in back. When your life is threatened you sometimes stop thinking logically.

Did she really faint, or a ruse? We may never know. Until the 6 o'clock news.

I'm going to have to agree with 12's part of outrunning the person. She was on the ground... By the time she gets up you'd be 50ft ahead... Then again I also take into consideration that sometimes you don't think logically in those situations.

68 - I'm sure the woman got up before pulling a knife on OP. Also, if you knew anything about these types of situations, you'd know that the safest option is always to do what the crazies want and let the police do their job.

Yeah. I only go for the expensive feel. Next time, carry more cash in your wallet.

#21, once I didn't have my wallet and the mugger got frustrated, so I said, "Keep looking, I'll write you a check later!" ;)

After you said "Keep looking" he thought that meant, "Full body cavity search"

#64, if the mugger is female and that goes well, I might just add an extra zero to that check.

Reread the FML, please.

One hell of a nice person you are, 15..

please, don't comment if you don't know what you're talking about. it angers the unstable fml'ers and you could be burned at the stake. now **** off outta here and don't come back.

Da fuq do you mean by unstable? *twitches*

Yeah. There ain't such a thing. *groans and eats baby brother*

drinking right now are we? ;)

I thought someone might ask me that. It's a Miranda Lambert song about someone who considers buying a gun when her neighbors' car gets stolen out of their drive, and when a government official tells her they plan on using eminent domain to take her house away from her. Since OP was threatened with a knife, I thought that she too might be considering buying a gun.

What an American solution...

What a Canadian thing to say...

72, Hells yeah! We rockin' the 2nd amendment up in this joint.

The second amendment gives you the right to own guns. Not be stupid with them.

I'll invite you! But first things first. a) Do you enjoy house music? b) If yes, GET THE **** OVER HERE! If no, Knife Party doesn't want you either.
