just been spat on! aka “Boxing stance”

Hi all,

So I was walking back to the office after lunch, walked pasted a man sitting down on a bench looking like he was waiting for a bus. I got about 3ft past him when I hear a loud spitting noise sounding like it was aimed I'm my direction, so I stop and looked at him and low and behold another spit ball winging its way to me, I manage to just slip out of the way just in time.
I said WTF to him, he then jumps up and claps his hands together and moves closer. I go straight into my boxing stance, he stops moving forward and runs off and I'm left standing on my own.

I was tempted to give chase to really sort this tramp out, but didn't.
A few years ago I'd of gone straight to work on him, but now I'm getting older(26) and wiser I decided I wasn't worth it.

What is wrong with people and what would have you done in that situation? :mad:

Amazing. I've lost count of the amount of times I've done this.

Its a natural thing for me to do if I feel I'm going to be attacked, like many other.

Floored him.

That isn't something anyone with a backbone would let go.

So that is a yes to chasing him down the road?

Yes I box and my stance is like most others, its not a item that I change into either!

I love GD

So he was a nutter who managed to get out the hospital, had been loose since the 1st.
He had been doing this stuff all day according to the police, but this time he went into the local pub and got a steak knive and stabbed the first person he see.

Thanks for all your replys, laughs and insults.

You're changing your story now!

*goes into his boxing stance*

Read the thread again, the first hit me on the back just as I'd walked past, the second I bobbed and weaved.

Maybe I should carry a gumshield to go with my stance...
