I just had a bum assault me
Last edited Sun Mar 3, 2013, 12:18 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Wow, I was sitting minding my own business waiting for a bus, and this old bum comes up real close to me and starts acting aggressive and all in my face. Calling me chickenshit and pretending to kick and punch me but pulling back at the last moment. At first, I tried to just walk away from him but he followed me. Then I told him he needed help and he sarcastically asked me if I meant psychological help. Finally I had enough of his antics and being all in my face, so I told him I wasn't afraid of him and stood my ground. I'm a decent size guy and could have taken him in a fight, he was skinny and a lot lighter weight than me. He then backed off and went looking for other people to harass.
Unfortunately my cell phone battery was dead otherwise I would have called the cops on this idiot pronto.
This is how I deal with DUmmies. After the threat of getting shot, they usually leave.
And now the bouncy in a bouncy.

5. One early morning when I parked my car on the campus where I tach, a man--normal looking--
View profile
approached me and said I could not park in the metered spot where I'd parked. I told him I had a handicapped placard and sticker, which entitled me to park in handicapped designated spots but also (and for free) in metered spots if no nearby handicapped spots were available. As soon as I said that, he went from zero to 60, ranting and cursing at the top of his lungs and actually charging at me! I had to brandish my cane at him to get him to back off! I wasn't just threatening with it, either. If I had needed to, I would have thumped him thoroughly with it. I'm a 62-year-old woman, but I am way fiercer than I look!
The guy wasn't any sort of campus official or anything. He had just decided that HE was responsible for telling people where they coould or could not park. He was obviously mentally disturbed and potentially violent. He did charge me, after all, and only backed down when I threatened him with my solid wooden cane. The fact that I am an older female, handicapped, and small (5' 3") undoubtedly gives some people the idea that I would be an easy victim. It was just 7:30 a.m., too, so there was no one else around. It was adisrurbing encounter, though. I wonder what would have happened if he had encountered a woman who was as vulnerable as he apparently assumed I was.
All of this from a teacher.

For sticking up for yourself ike that. I'm a good sized guy, 5'11 and 210 pounds with a muscular frame, although overweight. I could have kicked this bum's ass if I had to, so I knew I had the advantage if it came down to that.
I can't imagine being your age and a woman facing a situation like that. You are awesome
Maybe Sao Paulo has the right idea. The bulling police just shoot the bums.

and petite. I had a thuggish-looking person approach my car threatening me at a gas station in a not so lovely area of town. I whipped out my "club" - the thing you used to lock your steering wheel in the early 90's and was prepared to use it as a "club". He backed off.
People will intimidate you if you let them.
What a bunch of bullies these DUchbags are.

6. Sound like he, like many homeless people, may have an untreated psychiatric illness.

Calling him a bum and an idiot is not very compassionate. And perhaps offering to get him some help would have been better than basically just telling him you thought he was crazy.
Can you imagine being him for a second?
Get with the program. quinnox was the bum.

Could have been hungry or in need of medical care or just plain tired and in need of a rest.
Sure he was.

Did you offer him any help - you said he needed some. Do you think the police would have helped him in any way?
How did he get a thousand posts?

33. yesterday at breakfast my partner and I watched a middle-aged man...
View profile
...sitting on the curb outside the restaurant where we were eating, having an animated conversation-- arm waving, gesturing, shouting, jumping up and down-- with himself for about twenty minutes before he got up and walked off, still deep in conversation with someone no one else could see. During his tirade I watched several people walk past, on the other side of the street, careful to avoid him. As someone else noted up thread, we've outsourced public mental health care to the streets. It's sad.

35. Some like him do that.
View profile
They are mentally unstable and have found out that they can scare people into giving them some money. I had one yell at me that I had stolen money from him and to give it back. There was a market I stopped going to because of the harassment. The police will probably arrest him and then drop him off a few blocks away. Please be empathetic to these people. They need medical care and we have laws saying they can refuse it and frankly if they don't, it's very inadequate. Obviously, someone like him can't hold down a job.
Wanna bet that the market paid the guy to harass you in order to stay away?

Shouldn't leftists offer the guy money?

No. They offer him your money.

So we have one individual threatening to use a cane as a weapon, one to use "the club" as a weapon, and one to use his/her/its muscles as weapon. In light of this and in order for society to be safe I think that we MUST ban canes, "the club", and muscles.

So sad. Those sorry bastards just walked pass the poor guy and offered no help at all. Completely unlike you who sat on your ass stuffing your face and offered no help at all.
Congrats mike-c! You've proved to the world that you're a lib and a DUmmie!

If I remember, this primitive "quinnox" is guilty of quite a few bouncies over the years. There was one only recently, about a month ago, IRRC.

I have found that the crazy people actually want no help. Then how to tell if a person on the street is talking to themself or on a cell phone as those devices are getting smaller every day?????
Then there are unique people like me and my mother. Mom in late 80's and me had been checking out the small shops in town and both of us needed to sit and rest. I said crap on on this and we both sat on the curb. No where else to sit, so as we sat, cars and people went by, then the thrumb thrumb of motorcycles coming up the street.
On they came perhaps 8 of them and one was my son, on lunch break from his Job. I recognised him pointed him out to mom and she stood up waving her scarf calling his name. Off they went and circled the block to come marching over and Son was not happy. Here he on lunch break from a State job had found not only his mother but grandmother sitting on a town curb. One of his friends when I gave him the keys to the car went to fetch it for us, and his other friends tried hard not to laugh.
To this day I wonder how much razzing my son went through back at work. -----Why have you had your mother and grandmother kicked to the Curb.
Mom and I laughed until we cried over the look on my sons face, for some reason he found nothing funny about any of this.

While I'm not qualified to critique sentence structure, I know enough to realize that her's is atrocious. She uses "And" way too many times.

Hence the role reversal. It was most likely the DUmmy that is the OP that was the bum.

Oh for crying out loud, dummie. The easiest method to get rid of a nutty bum is to take some change out of your pocket, dollar bill is better if it is windy, and toss it about 5 feet from you.
Then walk away while the bum chases it.
Even better method is to buy those little itty bitty plastic bottles of booze. Don't matter what it is. Then toss one and presto!!! Instant bum begone. Trust me dummie. I know. I used to work at a building that was pretty much bum central outside. Cops wouldn't do anything about it... until the county DA's office moved into the same building. Then boy, oh boy, you saw the bums all disappear.

What is cbayer imagining here? "Offer to get him some help." What does that look like? Offer to let the crazy, likely dangerous, bum attach himself to you, as you both wander the city in search of some vague "government services?"

That is how she met Mr. Bayer.
He was sitting minding his own business, waiting for a bus...... and the rest is history.
