when i go walking in a park, i always carry a fluffy cute bunny rabbit in my jacket pocket. then, if a dog attacks, i throw the bunny down and make my escape while the dog is preoccupied.
against the pub bully i employ ventriloquism. i simply make it appear as if some other guy is saying to him 'i rooted your mum last night, you fairy', and make my escape while the bully is preoccupied.
finally, to get rid of burglars, i post signs on the exterior of my doors and windows before retiring for the night. they read 'my neighbours at number 74 are rich, Buddhist, illegal immigrants - they have a lot of good stuff, are total pacifists who believe in karma, and they can't go to the cops'.
Originally posted by Mr AverageA similar course of action to what your plans tell you, they're hardly complex enough that they can't be fashioned on the spot. Anyway, as someone pointed out before, common sense suggests that avoidance of areas and people who might bring about such things is a massive defense against them.
what does common sense tell you to do at 3am, when you are fairly sure that someone is in the house and they might be armed?
It's also about how you approach life, the mindset of planning for unlikely hazards causes you to see the world in a different way. You're forever watching for pitfalls instead of enjoying th eview.
I find living next to a police station generally does the trick for number one.
Number two: The last time a drunk started a confrontation with me he said out of the blue "and who the **** do you think you are" to which I replied "The time? It's about 10:30 mate" and walked off. That generally seems to work.
Number three: I think it would be an instinct thing, don't know how I'd react until the situation occured. Does anyone?
Originally posted by Mr AverageI never worry at my home. Once in a while I get nervous alone in cabs, parking lots at night and walking at night from my office door to my car. Other than that, I feel safe most of the time. The area I live in is heavily armed as the gun laws are very loose and we have a low crime rate here.
On a day to day basis, do you have strategies pre-planned for the protection of yourself and your families against the bad guys that are out there?
burglary situation? its 3am and you awaken to hear noises. one or more intruders is in the house. whats your plan? do you have one?
getting attacked by a large dog whilst walking with friends through a p ...[text shortened]... hobby of mine, and so i guess im interested to know other's thoughts on these types of things.
