A nice conversation I overheard...

[customersruinmylife]

You hear a lot of them working in the pub while you clear tables, and this one was just...well, read on and see for yourself.

Thug1: ...and the bitch is pressing charges! I'm getting charged with assault!
Thug2: What exactly happened?
Thug1: I pinned her against the wall by the throat. I only punched her in the face twice! And she called the police!
Thug2: That's ridiculous! Sorry man!

I ran away.

I hope he gets a nice stay in the gray bar hotel.

[NightWatch]

Yeah, I'm sure that's what my ex tells his friends. And he only tried to kill me and dump my body in a field... I hate those types of guys.

You know, I just want to take guys like that and string them up for giving the rest of us men a bad name. It's funny how they're never as tough as they think they are when someone stands up to them. I also know some women who would probably take these two guys and beat the hell out of them with heavy cast iron frying pans and other choice weapons.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

Seriously, any form of assault is bad enough, whether it be physical, verbal, psychological or sexual. I hate people like that, who seem to think that it was a light thing, not like a murder.

A few years back, there was a campaign in Australia against domestic violence (think it's still running). Most of them were men talking about what they did and how they thought "it wasn't an abusive relationship". If I can, I'll find a linky.

Same in NZ, It's Not OK, it featured all sorts of people from different socio-economic backgrounds, and ethnicity. It was really inheartening to see some of the "tough" guys on the ads.

Sounds like someone would look nice in an orange jumpsuit.

Thanks muchly. I knew it was there, didn't know if it was still running or not.

Much along this same vein, I had one (1) guy try some funny stuff with me (along the lines of the OT).

I slapped him. It was the only time I'd ever raised my hand to someone since I was thirteen, I've never done it since, and it wasn't the kind of slap that whips your head back...but boy did he back off in a hurry.

I'm tempted to agree that they're not quite so tough when someone stands up to them.

(Granted, there are cases where both sides are abusive, etc, etc.) Kudos, though, to the girl for pressing charges. I hope she got photos of the fingermarks and bruises.

Thug1: I only punched her in the face twice!

That's twice too many, and one more than required to press charges.

I hope she got to a doctor. I hate to think what he could have done to her face.

[Eireann]

If he "only" punched her in the face twice, what's his definition of beating someone badly? How would he react if he were on the receiving end?

Maybe he has been, and that's part of his problem.

[smileyeagle1021]

and I'm willing to bet that he had 'good reason' to hit her... she obvious did 'something wrong' and 'needed to be straightened out'

and I'm sure his application of force is going to be just as efficient at changing whatever was 'wrong' with her as 'Jay's" (name changed) attempts to make me less of a queer back in the 6th grade by beating me with a metal trash can *hint, it didn't work too well... I'm still into guys

[AirHostess]

Oh My

You really do deal with such chavtastic members of society, my deepest sympathies!

[tamezin]

Bitch I don't know why you are bein such a hater, you know I love you, now sit there and take it while I slap the $hit out of you and don't you ever call the po po on my a$$ again. You need to be taught a lesson now, so you don't make me do something worse.

I know it isn't really funny. Good for the person who did call the police.
