Today, I was at the mall and someone peeked their head under the door of my dressing room while I was half dressed. Not knowing who it was, I kicked him in the face just out of instinct. Its was a 4 year old kid looking for his mother. FML

I'm very sorry, but you greatly over reacted. In the case that it was a grown man, you could have been charged for kicking him in the face. Instead you could have gone to an authoritative figure and pressed charges on him, hence "The pen is mightier than the sword", meaning fighting back wouldn't have been the best option, and "tattling" much better :). And that poor, poor child!!! This makes me cringe 0.o. But you have very well learned your lesson with your ill-deserved "instincts". In the future, do not over react so.

I completely agree extradorkyloser. My first instinct would be to yell and cover up, not kick someone in the face. And for the poster that mentioned self-defense, there is no self defense law in my state. A man broke into an elderly woman's house, and she grabbed her shot gun and started yelling at him. While he was running away, he tripped over her coffee table and broke his leg. He sued her, and won the case. If she HAD shot him, she would have gone to jail for murder/attempted murder. But this wasn't self defense. Noone hurt her. This was sheer over-reaction.

That's why you gotta love Mississippi. If someone ever breaks into your home/threatens to harm you here, you have the right (and the obligation) to shoot that ****** in the face.

Overreacting? If it had been a grown man, it would not be overreacting at all! If a perverted jerk was trying to get free looksies, he deserves a boot in the face, and thensome. No "pen is mightier than the sword" bs.. especially since you can press charges on him even after kicking him. Dunno what planet you're from, but he could NOT press charges since he was instigating in the first place. And you know sexual harassment from man towards woman almost always ends in the woman's favour. Though that means, on the flip side, if a man had done that to a chick, it would be considered uncalled for... **** the world's life, for that aspect. But yes, anyway, I would have definitely kicked and screamed.

Oh, and, about the self-defense argument... nah, I wouldn't call it self defense either. Just instinct caused from all the published men in the world who are total pigs. As in, all the reports about rapists, creepers, scary kidnapping stories as children, etc, has caused a general natural instinct to develop where you feel the need to make a scene if you feel threatened or your (body) privacy was breached.

LOL at everyone saying "YDI". Had she known it was a 4 year old, I highly doubt that she'd kick. Hell, I would even if it WAS a four year old, but that's just me. Honestly, instincts are hard to say "Oh hey, instincts, f**k off. That's a 4 year old because I can TOTALLY see through doors. I have super powers." Yeah, FYL. I'd feel really bad. Not that you could control it or anything, but I hope you said sorry and hugged the poor kid. (As long as he didn't run away!)

you are a stain. if a 4 year old kid sticks his head under a dressing room door he deserves to be kicked in the face? i hope you get raped by a trucker, and i hope god shoves a jumbo-sized can of pringles up the asshole of every person who said it was the kid's fault

What I want to know is why did the kid's mother leave him alone like that? If she doesn't feel comfortable bringing him into the dressing room with her, then she should save her shopping for a time when he's not with her. You shouldn't leave a kid that young out of sight. If she had kept a better eye on her kid, this wouldn't have happened. But OP, your first instinct was to kick? Why not just yell? You sort of deserve it.

Little moron deserved it. He was lucky you weren't wearing shoes, and only kicked him once.

what the hell is wrong with people saying you have terrible instincts. that's EXACTLY the right instinct when some stranger invades your personal space

As far as I'm concerned, there's no issue here. Kid shouldn't have been a creeper.
