Here's a little story from my past. I don't know why I thought of it now but it is something that I'm curious about.
I was about 28 and drinking at a pub with a few friends (male and female) and playing some pool. There was an older woman (mid 40's) who was watching us with her female friend. She was a weathered looking cougar complete with leathery skin, bad fashion sense, and tobacco stained smile. Nasty b!tch would be a good description. Anyhow we finished our game and sat down to chat and drink a little.
Out of the blue the woman threw a totally unprovoked nasty comment over to our table. We hadn't said a word to them and for no reason at all she was pissed off at us. I had my back to her and was the only one to turn and respond. I can't quite remember what I said but I know it was something smart alec and said with a smile. She didn't respond and I turned away.
Next thing I know I feel my chair being tilted back and someone's hand goes around my throat hard. It was the nasty b!tch! She had my chair back at about a 45 degree angle and her nails were digging right into my neck! If she let go I would fall right on my back and probably hit my head.
She holds her face right close to mine and starts going off about how she's going to kick my ass right there in front of my friends. She starts demeaning me and calling me foul names. All the while she keeps feigning like she's going to let the chair go. Not just let it go but slam it down hard. She's taunting me. Wanting me to react. Basically she's putting a big show on to show everyone how tough she is.
Being in that position of just about falling on your back definitely had me concerned. Her nails were digging into my neck and that didn't feel to good either. I could feel my face going red and blood beginning to boil. I have strong feelings about violence against women but I have to admit I would've loved to kick this b!tch's ass. I'm not even sure if she was a woman to tell you the truth.
I did think about punching her. Both my arms were free. However even if I hit her she would just slam me down on my back and probably start kicking me and sh!t. I'm sure I could've made my way to my feet and fought with her but is that the right thing to do? I even thought about kicking my legs up and over and grabbing her head and bringing her down with me. Still an ugly scenario.
Instead I just calmly stared her right in the eye while she was spouting off. I told her to put my chair back several times but otherwise didn't say anything. She wanted me to get provoked so she could slam that chair down. I could feel it. I didn't bite and stayed cool despite all the insults and coping with that feeling of teetering on the brink of falling backwards.
Eventually after an extremely awkward 2 minutes or so she put me and the chair back up and let go of my neck. She took a quick step back expecting some retaliation but I just kept my back to her and did not respond. My friends were all sitting there wide eyed and wondering what I was going to do. I brushed it off calmly and just made a funny comment to which everyone chuckled.
The b!tch heard this and started mouthing off again so I just turned my chair a little so she couldn't surprise me from behind again and I smiled at her. After that we ignored her comments and shortly after they got up to leave. As she passed our table another comment was made and I just said "Whatever you crazy old b!tch" and they left.
Nothing more was really made of it but it is something that I obviously remember 10 years later.
I know some of you guys have good imaginations so I thought I would throw this story out there to see if any one had any good responses or ideas of what to do in a situation like this.
Or do you have any funny stories of your own about confrontations with women who "want to go".
