Big hardman promptly did so.

Don't you just love it when that happens?

Last night, I was prepared to take the idiot up on his word, but big shouty guy had decided to run off, get in his car and drive away.

Just goes to show the calibre of the morons around here really!

Just gotta hope that karma comes round and gets him when he squares up to the wrong bloke.

Saw it too many times around here. A guy from a trouble family acting hard in the local pub,starts on a guy at the bar. The guy at the bar tells him to **** off and get his brother(since he said he was going to) so he returns with his brothers and gives the guy a kicking. Goes down for 6months - a year and shortly after his release hes walking up my street. Car pulls up,shooter out the window,shot in both legs and spent months in casts. :rolleyes:

So he got the ego boost but did a term inside and got **** on from a great height lol.

Now that makes me lose it.

You should have been more alpha that would have sorted him.

I agree with this guy. If you were an Alpha male you would've nuked him in the ovaries with fire from orbit!

KAPOW

Then been the Alpha male you are would've nailed that fine looking chick behind the checkout then and there!

Yup morons like this need to have their luck run out. I was drinking in a local pub years ago when all hell broke losse outside police ambulances the lot.

Outside the pub over the road is a local guy whose about 6ft 3 but stick thin and his gf being talked to by 2 coppers on the pavement / on the way to the ambulance / being arrested are 3 blokes looking a bit battered.

Apparantly softly spoken but tall local guy walks out pub with gf as 3 blokes walking in, one of the blokes basically walks slap bang into his gf and knocks her arse first into a flowerbed because she didnt step out of the way. Local guy asks them "what the **** etc.." and bloke just takes a swing at him with mates moving to join in. Slight problem for them though as they had picked on someone with a Black Belt 3rd Dan (or 2nd lol) in karate and a keen intrerest in Ju Jitsu

. 30 seconds later all three are on the floor.

.

Warms the heart stories like that lmao.

Firespark, get rid of your swearing or mods will give you a temp holiday on these forums mate.

As for the O/P

There really are some idiots out there that's for sure. Makes you wonder how some people stand up.

loooool, reminds me of one of the Takeshi's Castle episodes - International special.

Craig Charles: Oh, it's Great Britain! Come on Great Britain, do us proud!
Craig Charles: What is HE doing?! That was pathetic! He must be from Stoke. Go on, back to Stoke you joke!

It severely made me LOL at the time

Takashi's Castle, TV at its best.

As for the muppet in the supermarket, yep, some people are born stupid. They seem to infest every area of my life.

I hate those self service lanes with the dumb ass people who can't even follow the instructions:

Customer: Swipes item

Machine: £2.49, please place the item in the bagging area!

Customer: Still clutching item above in hand, tries swipping next item.

Machine: Invalid item in the bagging area, please remove this item and swipe again.

Customer: Looks at machine like an ape, scratches head.

These used to be a good idea, all the old people were scared ******** of using them because it was a computer and even looking at it the wrong way would blow up the supermarket. Now they are gaining confidence and slowing the bloody queues down.

Had one woman walk up the 1 out of 4 of these self service checkouts the other day, right past the queue of 5 people - me being at front.

Her face when I said, excuse me but there is one queue for all the checkouts.

Those self service checkouts irritate the **** out of me.

That self righteous voice, 'Please place the item in the bagging area', or 'Approval needed', it plagues my every waking moment. Every time I think of automation I think back to Tesco's self service aisles. The waiting whilst the facile queues of subservient peons slowly dawdle through, the moment approaching when it will be my turn to be tortured by that dull, flat voice requesting me to weigh in my onions. The moment when I scan a new bread knife or bottle of beer, and have to wait for the usual gargoyle that mans the checkouts with those unnerving, unwavering eyes that follow you everywhere as he slowly makes his way over to scan his employee card; looking at you as if you've killed his children for making him move the three metres to approve your purchase. The moment when I put my credit card into the pin machine and have to wait what seems an endless 30 seconds for the agonising voice to tell me that it has been accepted; all the while trying to avoid eye contact with the social degenerate that is standing too close to me waiting for his turn on the automated merry-go-round. When finally my payment has been authorised and I can collect my shopping, I again realise that I must wait further, trying to claim my receipt from the clutches of that automated behemoth, to be told 'Thankyou for shopping at Tesco's'. DIE YOU STUPID *****.

I don't shop at Tesco's very often

The reason I ask is that I've just popped down to Sainsbury's, in Stoke, to get a few items like milk, crisps, cheese and whatever. Anyhow, seen as I only had eight items I decided to go to the 'ten items or less' checkout. So, I notice the guy in front has got way more than ten items, more like twenty or so, but seen as I'm not in a rush I put down the 'Next Customer' thing across the conveyor belt and say nothing.

Now this moron turns around and says, "What do you think you're doing, my mates coming with soon with two more baskets to put on?" So, I said "C'mon mate, you've got way more than ten already and this is the ten or less line.", to which he replys "You what, do you want me to knock you the **** out?" Then this guy, he must've been mid twenties, brought up the oldest and most childish cliché ever! He says "right, outside now, if you don't I'll be waiting for you when you do"! I said fair enough, if that's the way you want to play it then it's fine by me.

Funny thing is, when I'd paid for my shopping and went outside he was nowhere to be seen!

Been to Stoke a few time to visit my bro and good the whole place is full of people like that. If I lived there I'd probably have an attidude with the world also.

I personally would have stood there and ridiculed him,

I would have just squared up to him and said. "If you don't back off fool, you're gonna meet my friend Pain!!!"

Works every time when I'm out shopping at my local Tesco, the old grannies don't mess with me now. That's what being ALPHA is all about!

I am not one of those social degenerates who stands too close behind you. :confused:

I never really picked up the hang of social skills in the first place, so I can hardly degenerate. :/

Read my location please. Can you inform me of when your going to the Newmarket road store in future so I know to avoid it. I wouldn't want to be present when your rage towards the machines is unleashed.

Haha, don't worry I only pop into Tesco's late at night when I can't be bothered cycling out to Sainsbury's or M&S is closed.

If you see some guy in a rather smart navy blue rowing fleece fuming at the machine, chances are its me!

Should have bought a few coconuts and stuck them in a few bags.

geeza · 17 May 2007 at 11:58

sorry havent read all the thread. did you wait for his mate with the other 2 baskets?

you should have crushed some of his shopping, eggs are a good one. then he might have hit you and you could defend yourself by doing whatever you want. (in full view of casheer and anyone else there aswell)

Class.

Reminds me of a couple of incidents with my brother.

First one was him and gf in a bar, three guys started having a go at his gf. He told them where to get off, which they were none too pleased about. He went off to the loo and the three guys followed. Shame they didn't realise my brother was an unarmed combat expert for the RAF, trained to kill with bare hands. One was taken to hospital by ambulance, another just had a broken nose (there was blood everywhere apparently) and the other locked themselves in a cubicle and refused to come out until the police were there. And to top it all off, the pub was fifty yards from our house and owned by a friend, so all the security tapes were wiped before the police even got there. There was no evidence my brother had even been there.

The second was some chavvy boy racers tailgaiting my brother and his now-wife and their two year old girl late at night. He stopped at some red lights and they ran into the back of his car - he reckoned deliberately. Looked in the mirror to see the driver getting out with a baseball bat. So he leaped out of the car, grabbed the chav guy by the throat before he'd even shut his car door, and told the other passengers who were getting out to "get the **** back in if you know what's good for you." So they did. The chav car took a few broken windows with the baseball bat, then my brother just got back in his car and drove off.
