Rude woman attacks me in discount store

[greek_jester]

Nicely done! Creep deserved it, and worse. Pity your black belt friend didn't have a go at him, that would've been the icing on the cake.

The creep would probably not have ended up in A&E with a hole in his foot if my black belt mate had got hold of him. I can't speak for other disciplines or areas of the country, but in my part of the UK Shotokan Karate teachers repeatedly emphasised that the whole point of the discipline is to use the minimum force to get someone off of you/the victim so that you can peg it in the other direction. Anything over and above that can get you prosecuted by the police, and have your licence revoked.

Moral of the story: do not hassle the little ones. They've usually had lots of practice making other idiots before you regret it.

I'm sensing a story here I really wanna hear ^_^

Drunken idiot got handsy and wouldn't take no for an answer. He had my arms pinned and was groping me with the other. I introduced my heel to his instep. He screamed very loudly and let me go. Friends who were about to kick his butt (1 x black belt karate, several belts of various levels) gawped in shock then started laughing. 2 polite policemen turned up an hour later asking about incident. Bar manager showed them the CCTV footage and thanks to that, plus statements volunteered (!) from just about everyone present at the time, they concluded that it was self defence and let it go with a "please try not to damage the next one too much". The end.

Even a metal chunky heel can hurt if used to stomp on a person's foot. I once stepped backwards on to the toe of a man who was standing too close to me at an atm, even after I asked him twice to step back. After I stepped on his toe with the heel of my New Rock boot, he most certainly did step (or hop) back!

Did you know that, when sufficiently motivated, steel capped skinny heels can go straight through shoe leather and into the foot beneath it?

There's a reason why they're similar to stilletto daggers.

I do not start fistfights, but I have finished them in my day. Last bar fight I got into I broke the patella [knee cap] of a guy that refused to take no for an answer and actually shoved his hand up my skirt. His bad, I was wearing steel toed sneakers. Oops.

I've never had steel-toed anything, but being very short (4' 10.5") I tend to wear heels whenever I go somewhere fancy. Since I have a fast stride (trying to keep up with the rest of the world!) they all have steel heel caps (a necessity otherwise I wear through the pads in about a month).

We call them crutch canes in the US. My family doctor's partner used them; polio as a child. He was a damn good physician, too.

I would not want to get into a fight with somone with spiked canadian crutches!

Wow. You scare me. I don't scare easy.

Did you tell the skank to give you your clothing back? Not that I would have worn it after she did, but again it's the principle of the thing.

Of course. I grew up a major tomboy, I jus never got along with females. I got the whole rough and tumble bit down, to my grandmother's distress

My oldest son goes to a pretty rough school, and some of the larger thugs have found out the hard way that there's a reason why the guys at the gym call him the "freaky ninja kid". He's 5'5" and 130 pounds; not a big kid at all, but he's strong and he's fast. He works for the gym as a sparing partner for one of the MMA coach's other students, and has gotten a bit of a reputation for being extremely difficult to beat. I feel much safer walking around crappy areas of town with that kid with me. And I'm no lightweight myself.

Speaking of which, when we moved to North Dakota a number of years ago, I instantly became the mom not to mess with, as the other neighborhood kids watched me upload my moving truck. I guess seeing a chick huff a full sized washer off the back of a truck by herself, along with a gazillion other boxes, furniture and other heavy stuff made an impression. The boys were much younger and much littler at the time, so most of the heavy work fell to me.

Ooh My Little Pony thingies I would love one of those *smiles sweetly*

Everyone would! It's fantastic, and the ruler comes in handy whenever I draw out a new rota. XD

I dragged and tossed a couch off a third floor balcony once... <snip>I had gone back to get some of my clothing and found the skank he had moved in wearing my clothing. He had also decided to take my couch with him when they moved - I heard her telling him it would look great in her living room, so I offered to help them move it down to my pickup. I moved it. [it was a cheap $200 couch that I picked up from a friend the previous end of school year for $30. It wasn't the amount, it was the principal of the thing. <snip>

I, most likely, wouldn't have been as nice as you were. My reply would be more along the lines of "Fuck you, I grabbed it, it's in my cart. You want to fight over it, bitch, you WILL lose."

Most of the time, people like that don't expect someone to push back when they try to assert themselves so when someone does, they back down....sometimes...
