this is what you get being nice Inflate your Upload Space

This day almost turned into a nightmare for me. Nothing happened though and I only have almost unnoticable swelling on the corner of my left eye.

I was out to watch some couches and I felt a huge need to take a piss and also I was out of cigarettes, and I was in front of a bar. Perfect. I could get them both done at one place.

So I go in, and I notice a group of girls eating. Pretty looking, so I thought I'd get a coke or something and try to maybe see if something happens, trying to flirt or something. So after I came from the bathroom, I sit in the stool, order a coke and smokes. Then, with my luck, some punk middle aged drunk comes right next to me, I was the only one in front of the desk and now he just has to come next to me, and start talking about his boring life. I couldn't care less but I didn't want him to start be even more boring so I just ignore him and drink my coke, and I would have left immidiately but I had already paid for my drink and it wasn't exactly cheap. So I could kiss the chance of flirting goodbye.

So I just drink and nod every once in a while because I was such a good listener. The fat drunk is talking jibberish, a total loser. Then he starts wanting my smokes, because he's out. I don't feel like offering him any, he already ruined my drinking moment and my possible girl chat moment so forget getting anything from me. I just say well, I dont' s moke. He says he saw me buying smokes so I'm a lying sack of crap. he starts being a bit aggressive, but it's still day and not even night so I think he's just flapping his gums and continue ignoring him. Then I'm about to leave, I turn on my stool and put my wallet in my pocket and *WHAAM*, the ****er tries to glass me. Straight in the face.

I was lucky while being unfortunate with the whole situation, the glass won't break, even though he pushes it to my face pretty hard. It hits the corner of my eye and then the glass drops to the floor, and even then it doesn't break. In less than a second, I'm feeling really really really aggressive as I realize the fat drunk tried to glass me for no good reason at all, and right to my face too. Dangerous stuff, not to mention uncalled for. What a *****. 89999 liters of testosterone and adrenaline pumps into my vains and I kind of push him of the stool. As I was about to stomp him, the bar lady is going berzerk and figuring out what to do. The drunk bastard tries to get up, and in the middle of the battle heat I kind of realize this might turn to my fault, it's still day, families eating and stuff, so I don't even kick him but walked away.

That was my beautiful day. I hate drunk punks, and next time some fool tries to glass me, I will stomp their faces in.

I guess I had some extra adrenaline left. Thanks.

And no I'm not alright. Getting in a bar fight in the middle of the day when little kids with their parents are eating, and people on their lunch break. I hope they saw him attack me with a glass first and me not saying anything to him prior to his attack to justify it.

hitting par, I don't understand, what does this mean?

Anyway I'm pissed off. not because I couldn't have my violent ways, but because the idiot tried to glass me for no good reason at all. It sounds like I was this snob drinking his drink and lifting my nose when he tried to chat me up, that's not what happened, it's hwo I told it because I hate the loser. I was literally minding my own business. He was one of those real drunks, not someone who was drunk today early on. He was a real drunk. And aggressive punk at that. It's not enough that I don't exactly have warm feelings for those kind of people to begin with, but when I tried to leave, he actually takes the beer glass and tries to smash it to my face. With any more bad luck that could have taken my ability to see away. And he wouldn't even go to prison for it. And continue his ways. So I was very furious and I'm still angry at him and the whole thing. And had I taken the path of smashing him, it would have been me who would have spent the day in jail, and prolly paying him some extra from my hard earned euros so he could get even more beer than his regular social security cheque allows him to.

Golf. "Par" is the normal score, i.e., you had a normal day. Often said "You're hitting par for the course" or simply "that's par for the course."

ok. Well it wasn't a normal day for me. I was assaulted in the middle of the day and I could have been seriously injured. I don't have my plans done for me so that some loser can destroy that dream in a second, just because they can.

I symphasis about the fight Pekka, but you thread title is a bit misleading - I can't see at what point you were "being nice"?

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I guess that's one way to see it .. yeah..

but I was being nice because I ignored the loser, gave him few nods for his stories, and left instead of stay argue if I smoke or not. That was being nice. I didn't tell him to go to hell, I didn't give him any nasty looks, I just simply walked away and that's the price you pay for being too nice to losers like that. If I believed in DP, they are all guilty. But since I don't, I hope they have a clear day every now and then so they can see how stupid they are and get mental pain from it.

well I'm OK anyway. I didn't even get marked too bad. And no I did not force violence to that man except pushed him off of the stool and he did some weird diving move and hit the floor but I'm sure he is just fine. I guess I just got scared later on for the fact that I got glass smashed to my face. I d idn't find it particularly funny. You got to watch for these people folks, because there might be a day when one of these losers ruinrs your day, month, year or more, for no reason else than just because.

yeah not worth it plus even though it wasn't me who did the wrong, who knows, if they call cops, I would have spent few minutes talking to them. Not worth the trouble. And had I fought back, then it would have been stupid because then I could have to pay fines or something. Besides, people were eating there, it's not like I want to be the dude who started trashing the place up.

BTW it pisses me off big time when someone's not giving a cigarete. Luckily very few times this happens. As much as asking all the time for one. But I wouldnt attack them.

You just look at him and say BAH! while turning your face away while saying it. It's like the french "pfff" but more genuine. If he insists you just be more italian

Like today at the supermarket, guy tries to steal my place at counter's queue- because he's very old he assumes he has the right of going front without asking

Old bat moves
DF: BAH!
Old bat begins a phrase
DF moves his hands in an italian impolite way
Old bat no longer an issue

What's the point of being kind to strangers? Be kind to sexual targets instead

A lot of girls are actually quite turned on by violence. You took a weapon to the face then floored the other guy and showed restraint. You should've sat back down, acted cool, and the girls would've probably started on you next

Well I didn't exactly floor him,I just pushed him with instincts hitting in and he fell off the stool. Granted, it was a spectacular dive I'm sure since they were those high stools but still, I was kind of not thinking too much, except 'weapon, get distance'. Or maybe just 'get distance'. And I didn't want to sit because the situation was not over. Say two seconds I was standing I left walking quickly. He eventually got up and it would have been battle I guess so he wasn't out. But I didn't run away! KEY DIFFERENCE!

You did the right thing by not beating him up. Drunks are no fun to beat up anyway. They can't put up a fight. You might end up beating him up too bad and getting in real trouble.

Now just forget about it. You aren't doing yourself any good by holding on to this. Keep enjoying life. Go find some other women to flirt with.
