I see 3 20something year old stoners about 165lbs each approach me unarmed, two are going down on the spot and then I'm chasing the 3rd into a nearby store and pummeling his arse by the fricking fountain drink machines as he begs the clerks to call 911.

but if they look athletic and sober, I'm not getting out the car.

I didn't realize they were high until they "sprinted" across traffic at the first opening.

Before that, all I saw were two black guys about a buck fifty each and a cornfed white guy who looked like he could handle himself.



My wife honestly was just worried about my temper. While I'm a fairly calm and laid back guy thse days, I have been known to respond to blustering threats rather harshly, especially when I drank too much in college.

I keep trying to explain to her that putting your car in park and preparing for the worst is a perfectly reasonable response when driving off isn't an option.

Maybe I'm wrong
