Bloody Pacifism...
14 years ago
Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a pacifist, I really do.
Tonight I was pulled up in a car park at a bottle-shop while my folks were inside grabbing a bottle of plonk, since we'd just done a fucking hard day's work on painting the house.
Another car, a 4WD, pulls up and parks in the middle of the driveway there and an intoxicated gentleman (read: "pissed as a newt, fuckwit") gets out and goes to the toilet that was right across from where I was parked; swearing and waving his hands around.
A few seconds later, he's standing in the doorway to the toilets, pissing across the driveway onto my car. The person driving the 4WD started yelling at them to stop it, and I'd blasted my horn at them, when suddenly my passengers were back. So they got in and I drove off.
I wasn't off of the property before I realised that I really should have taught him a lesson and clocked him one. It's just not in my nature.
I mean, I wouldhave been a good 8-10" taller than him and probably 30kg heavier. At the best of times I would have had the upper paw in a fight. Given that he was pissed as a maggot, I could have hospitalised him without him getting a scratch on me, had I been so inclined.
(Never mind that I had a set of 36" Stillsons/Pipe-Wrench that would do more than a +1 Mace) ;-p
I know that being "a nice guy" and not even having the thought of retaliation cross my mind until far too late should be a Good Thing™, but I feel like I'm letting pathetic scumbags walk all over me. Ones I would undoubtedly best in a fight, if I was that sort of person.
Bloody pacifism.

"Ooops, he slipped and hit his head on the urinal."
*shrugs* Beating the crap out of someone is just not in me, I guess.
It would have been humorous to beat the shit out of him and then go "So what's it like to get beaten up by a poof?" though
I'm a big guy, tall and build (and weight ATM. gah) and I know the sort of damage I could do in a fight - which is exactly why I've always not been a fighter.
Throughout school (all those years ago), I took a lot of beatings until on two separate occasions I threw a punch (I'd had a bad day) in defence. Both times, 1 punch ended the fight. And I felt terrible for it. (I also got suspended, despite the fact that I'd just been king-hit walking to class)
I've been with Nyte in a situation or two where it could have gotten physical - and Nyte has seen that I just don't think about getting physical.
As to being a beta, I know that I could have taken him if I was that sort of person. It would have been like a lion taking on a rabbit. Pity the feral bastard (no offence to ferals) doesn't learn his lesson though.
Or were you down on Hindley St visiting
Hindley street is a bit rough. you'll always find pissheads there. =(
Stuff like that never happens here; all of the pissheads are so polite...
Oh, Wait =p
