How to NOT be stupid.
I was just at the 7-Eleven, which is demanding masks and exact change.
A young guy was holding up the line, trying to find exact change.
He looked like this.

I was just at the 7-Eleven, which is demanding masks and exact change.
A young guy was holding up the line, trying to find exact change.
He looked like this.
I went up and asked if he was having a problem with change.
I was going to pay for his drink and candy bar.
He exploded.
"Yeah, so let me handle it! Back the f*ck up or I'll knock you down. Back the f*ck up!"
I did without saying anything.

He pulled out a giant wad of cash and handed a twenty to the clerk.
"F*cking keep it. Anyone disrespects me, they get knocked the f*ck out. Nobody disrespects me."
After he payed, he stood there raving the same thing for almost a full minute.
Then he went out.

I paid, and I saw that he was waiting for me outside.
So I stayed inside behind the shelves watching him.
He was hitching up his pants over and over, which means he was going to assault me when I when out.
Finally he lost interest and walked away.

I waited until he was across the street before I went to my car.
Here's the thing:
He was hysterical with rage.
I was totally, calm, because I was choreographing what I'de do if he approached me in the store.

The kid was flapping his arms like a bird with his hands all gnarled up.
He left himself totally open, and he never would've expected a punch to the groin.
Nobody does.

I'm 58 years old.
He was about 24.
If he tried to get in my face, he'd be in the hospital right now.
I'll take my chances with the judicial system.
It was either than or possibly die.
BUT.

Never going back THERE again.
It's funny how innocent young men raised on TV and movies and video games are.
You know how they fight now?
By a warped version of Marquess of Queensberry Rules.
It's a caveman's version of chivalry.

The guy gets in your face, flapping his arms like a chicken, you tell him to back off, he calls you a bitch, and then one or the other launched a sucker punch to the head.
One, I don't warn or debate.
Two, punching someone in the jaw can break your hand.

Three, I'm neither a caveman nor a sharp-tailed grouse.
I don't take part in ANY rituals.

Rituals make you REALLY VULNERABLE.
My goal is to be here as long as possible.
That's why I avoid confrontation.
And why I choreograph.
