Some people just thrive on drama. Usually those people have a messed up life in one way or another and they use the drama they create to justify their own issues as well. I try to avoid allowing them to involve me in their drama at all costs...nothing but headaches for me and its more if a reward to them...as that's exactly what they are looking for anyway.

Depends where they lay their hands on of course.

Until about two years and a half ago, before the CORONA craze hit, I was active practicing Wing Tsun and was responsible for the female beginners just starting Siu Nim Tao, I myself completed the Bui Tze form and ascended to technician. That's below SIFU level and proves I understood the principles and got private lessons from my SIFU, mostly it was the Bui Tze form because it can be deadly and even dangerous if not trained correctly. It's when you nullify an attack by launching a counter attack and use the opponents strike to pick up the energy and release it into the launched punch and also the striking finger forms what can be deadly or lead to serious injuries like poked out eyes or lasting nerve damage.

Bit over top for such situations, granted.

But yeah, nonetheless I got beaten up in January, because I didn't expect the guy to punch and wasn't ready to go full in. He punched me straight into the face and took me into a headlock, I got him on my back and rolled him off to the left side while grabbing his left arm, followed after with the elbow and my body.

That hurt a lot, for both of us because I hit the ground after sliding down his rib cage. Then he was over me, punching with the fist, I blocked most but still the elbow and underarms were hurting a lot afterwards and bruised. I got away for a second and gave him a heel kick to the face with the S3 safety shoes I had on. That just made him more in rage.

Everybody has a tough plan until they get punched into the face.

She's the type that acts tidy and noble in public, unless you trigger her by whatever she find's worth being triggered. Then her true face shines through, through that dusty layer of makeup. She's also one of those that let her dogs # on the sidewalk and if she thinks nobody sees it, just leaves the mess for someone's shoes to find their way into it.

We had a couple of little arguments after that stumble accident, where I stumbled over the leash and of course pulled the poodle with me while doing that, it yelled up and I was on the ground. I wasn't even mad but just trying to understand what just happened, I mean, it's an animal, stuff like this happens. And I was awake, too without a coffee.

But as I still was getting up and dusting my hands of, she already went at me that she's going to the vet and let the dogs neck get xrayed and that I get the bill. I just laughed and asked her what about me? Thank you for asking how I am. That's how it all started because back then, she demanded my name and waited for me to get into my car and photographed my license plate.

Then she called me a schwanzlutschende Hure, a dick sucking whore/prostitute out of the blue and questioned the means how I can own a car like that. That, I took very personal, like I would have earned it by # dicks.

That's our background, I leave her alone but she seeks out the trouble. To be honest, in situations like that, I don't back down and play nice, insult me that way and gloves are off. So... I certainly poured into the fire too but hey, I do not take # from anyone anymore, I swore myself that when I left school where I got bullied for my body and speech.

# them.

Indeed, you should always try to immobilise and then flee in a fight.

When confronted by a stronger opponent a knee to the balls or as I said a strike to the solar plexus gives you time to get away without the risk of causing serious injury to anyone.

You can be conditioned to take punches, in my experience being a trained boxer is a very effective tool. Most people before attacking will signal with their body and load up a punch which can be slipped and countered easily. You can tell if someone can fight instantly by the stance they take when SHTF.

The last 3 times I’ve had physical confrontation my biggest concern was for the welfare of the idiot trying to attack me. Just because you lose the physique doesn’t mean you lose the skills.

a reply to: Grenade
It's not that easy, like I wrote (in the past repeatedly) I was thinking like you. Ah there is plenty of time and stuff to do. Yeah only if you actually are ready to fight, because I didn't expect the punch.

He had his hands up over my head, on his head height, gesticulating, I had mine up too but he's bigger and suddenly he punches downward after I asked him if he speaks to his mother like that, too.

That blew his fuse. The theory is all cool, full contact training, alright. But I wasn't ready for a fight because I did not expect one. My only luck was that I already head my head a bit down so my nose was protected a bit.

Street fights are different, I knew that. Theory and practice is two different pair of shoes, especially when it's me @ 1.60m and 57kg against a roughly 110kg/1.85m guy that is fully in rage. I've fought against two guys during training but it's a completely different situation. It's on yt somewhere, I've been trying to dig it up a few times, someone filmed it by chance and the school used it as promo on their website. Granted, we did one recut afterwards when the idea came up to make it look better a bit and use it for promo, it's visible, suddenly he has protection gear and the last part looks a bit fake because indeed it was.

She was clearly a narcissistic bully basket-case. You did the right thing by walking away.
Next time, if you see her again, try to ignore her fully.
She got in your face twice because she wanted a reaction from you, don't give her that.

I loved to hear that her stuff cracked under your tires

a reply to: bluesman462002

I am on blood thinners because of my heart, hence the patience. Just wanted to get my stuff and go. The comment on that we can settle it outside was a ruse to scare her into letting it go

Well I guess she won't be a problem in future in the bakery, since she got thrown off the premise permanently. I just hope the bakery doesn't get trouble because of her making # up about it.

a reply to: ancientlight

Some of it, the only thing I crushed and know about was her nail color, the rest spread to the side of my car. Maybe there was more but she was gone when I went back. Drank a decoff and got some free fried cheese balls (Quarkbällchen), had a surprisingly nice talk with my old employee, the owner.

But indeed I cracked a satisfied smile, when I heard something crack and knew it's not a sound the car makes. It's an EV so it's silent except for the star wars sound it makes.

a reply to: TDDAgain

I totally agree, most of the time in a fight the person who throws the first blow will win. The majority of people will freeze when hit and by the time they react the fight is already over.

In some ways it will serve you well as in future you will know to strike first and also be mentally prepared to fight back without hesitation.

If someone is being aggressive always take a posture which allows you to move back while keeping your hands up high, even rest one hand on your chin so it doesn’t have far to move when blocking.

A really good technique in a fight is to keep your chin down and point the top of your forehead at the punch, fingers break more easily than skulls.

a reply to: Grenade
He disorientate me with that punch, I've learned a long time ago to use the adrenaline when it set's in, it wasn't freezing up, just a blow to the face / nose that disorientated me for a second and that was enough to get me into a one arm lock, but before he could squeeze enough, I already got him on my back, off his feet, long enough to pull his arm and make him fall and me descent afterwards.

It's not traditional Wing Tsun move but Judo. I didn't think, just executed.

Like I wrote before, technician grade. My main problem was underestimating and not be ready for a fight back then. We were in a heated argument but I never expected it him to get violent. He got his answer though, two guys jumped the gate and pulled him off me. One gut punched him so hard that he broke down and puked. I just watched but at that point I tasted the blood and the other guy gave me a paper tissue to wash myself.

Was pretty #ed up washing my face with his faucet while he's on his knees puking. Result was me having the bloody nose, a bruise on the nose, bruises on the side, bruises on my hands, scratches on my hands and outer tights as he dragged me over the concrete. I could turn around and kick his face, because he was standing but leaning down, trying to drag me back.

He had a blue eye, injured rib cage and allegedly he hurt cut his hand while he hit my belt lock, I learned later. I sued him, the court date is not known yet, but he already apologized to me via my attorney and will plead guilty, allegedly. I think only because his attorney knows it might benefit him.

Beat up a single mother with disabilities half of his weight after being confronted by her about a crime. Attorney said I may be in for a few k € pain compensation, if that happens I will give the money to charity, or make him give it to charity.

Nah I feel that. There are times when I am just not in the mood and someone goes out of the way to be rude...and I let them have it. Honestly though more often than not its ends up negatively effecting me though. It does however feel good to let them have it in the moment!

a reply to: RickyD
I understand your position very good. There are things I will let fly and just shake my head. It's never an excuse but I try to get behind the reasoning. Everyone has a bad day sometimes.

However, there are well defined red lines for me that, when overstepped, I'm spitting fire. For one, it's when there is unjust towards a weaker person because I would have liked someone for me to step up, too.

Or making stuff up about someone else, lies, no matter if I hate you internally or if we are best friends, I will step up for you if I see it happening.

When someone thinks it's funny I lisp -I will pick that up- the person is done for me. Forever until they approach me and, not even want an apologize but I want to hear that they thought about it and regret. This happened only one time.

That's my pet peeve. I can make jokes about it, it's no secret, I bring it up towards friends so when they hear me the first time, they know what to expect. I do and other's can even laugh about it: When I spoke a whole sentence that was just garbage and inaudible, I can take that with humor if someone looks at me funny and asks "lol what?", I laugh too because I am not taking myself too serious.

Also explains why I am so audible on forums, I compensate.

I am sorry she made a muck of your day.

I work with one myself. To date, she has yelled at me no less than three times for neglecting her job while I do mine. She gets upset, see, because her work piles up while I delegate jobs to my proofers and she's busy taking care of her personal dramas or just scrolling her phone. She then snaps at me and attempts to take control of my job to her satisfaction.

She also always has personal dramas going on in her life that she will tell me about whether or not I want to hear them. I don't. She yells at me. Why would I want to chat with her? But I *do* get to hear about her trials and tribulations with the insurance company over getting her acorn damage, er, hail damage fixed. How someone can just blithely talk to someone they've pissed off about their insurance fraud is beyond me.

The best thing you can do is try to interact as little as possible, and even sometimes then it doesn't work because they think they are entitled to your time.

I assume the karen was trying to go for a religious insult about eating ham on sunday. I guess eh does not know that gentiles are not required to follow the pig restriction. now a days the meat is cleaned before people eat it so there is little to no risk of getting sick from diseases.

Oh I know the same type from my data analyst job, killing my nerves. We joined the team almost the same time, just that I was brought in as a data analyst and she for phoning customers and doing typing work. Not even dispositioning the technicians, just calling and telling the other person that someone is coming for their problems.

Somehow she thought we two are in a competing position and that she would ascend to my job. She would try delegate her # to me. She snapped at me when I told her that's not my job, not my process to work in and that she please stops distracting me all the time. She was around 20 years older and very incompetent in most things, especially computers. But our Boss was a good one and gave everyone a chance. I wasn't 100% qualified either but they got me there, she on the other hand, was resistant to any new knowledge. And had a communistic-socialistic mindset from DDR times, made no secret out of it. I never told her how my parents fled the DDR border with me as a small 2 year old because of that reason but had to listen how marvelous those times were.

I once sent her to the boss after she came to my desk and said like "move over! it's time you make a few phone calls, I need to learn it too!" So I declined and said I will do that when the boss tells me to. She actually went into his office and complained about me. A month later I had my own small office with daylight and she was sitting on my former desk, now, in the middle of the room everyone being able to check on what she's doing

She finally hated me when this happened: We had radio on and there was that rock song running "Boys get super unnerved, mhm when you need their help/hand". And she explained how she came home and her husband and sun were jamming the e-guitars to that song in the garden when she came out.

Just that I saw this exact scene the evening before zapping through American Dad! And I said like: "I saw the exact same situation yesterday on American Dad, the song, dad and son with guitars in the garden and the wife looking out to them both jamming, that's a comic series, imagine the probability, awesome! You should play the lottery today!!!"

No one believed anything she said already a while before that and just ignoring her chit chat until she shut up and proceeded with her work. But did things like ask the customer stuff that WE should know.

Imagine you made a contract so we would look after your couple MW power plant and she calls the investor instead of the right person and even asks them about access details that we already have on database.

I could go on and on.

I was confused about that! Because originally, Sunday is THE day to eat meat. That's still from WW2 when meat was very scarce and expensive and not eaten during the week.

She just didn't like it I proceeded with my order and the cashier ignored her too. She might have noticed me checking the new price label without saying anything.

I know where she lives, she's only tidy and noble to the outside, her garden is full of dog #, weeds and trash, it smells when you walk by. I hope she does not know where I live, I can't park in my garage currently, just pulled the drive train of my 80s car to replace the clutch because the lift in the shop is broken and service arrives next week earliest.

Imagine she's the type to vandalize, if she's ready to throw her own stuff at me, only shows she will have zero regard for other's stuff.

I think we could all eat less meat and reduce the harm we do to animals. But this lady is just a witch and said it out of pure b$tchery.

Meat prices are going up, time to consider more ethical and cheaper options! Any amount of change helps

And dogs (to my knowledge) have to eat meat to survive, humans definetly do not. I guess owning two big dogs contributes to the ethical delima, so i could see what OP meant. Still doesn't justify animal cruelty

a reply to: CptGreenTea

Or, how about i eat what i like and you do the same while minding your own business?

Here's the menu our overlords will be eating from at WEF conference in Davos. Seems it's only the poor who should stop eating meat.
