Kinda want to feel as broken physically as I do mentally sometimes
This happened about 10 years ago. It was a few days after Christmas, and I’d been sent out to repair some equipment at a Kmart store. The job went well, and I’d already loaded my truck, and cleaned up. All I had left to do was get a manager’s signature on my paperwork. I stopped at the customer service desk and asked for him to be paged, then waited for him to show up. I was still standing there with my clipboard, not really paying attention to much of anything, when this little old lady walks in the door, noticed my uniform and started heading my way.
I should backtrack here and mention a couple of things. The first, being my employer had changed our uniforms about 6 months earlier to a design that made me look like an assistant manager at every single store I set foot in. People were always stopping me, asking where things were, or something similar. I even had people stop me at a fast food chain on my lunch break to complain about something or other. I wasn’t really annoyed by it. Most of the time I thought it was funny.
The second thing I need to mention is, while you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, you can sometimes tell a lot about a person by their face. The little old lady in this story was no exception. Her face looked like the last smile that had graced it, had been sometime during the Eisenhower administration.
I started to tell her that I didn’t work there. I got as far as “I’m sorry Ma'am…” before she barked at me to “SHUT UP SONNY AND LISTEN TO ME FOR A MINUTE!”. That is a direct quote. To this day I’m not sure if I shut up because I was shocked at her rudeness, or just because my brain was trying to work out whether or not I had actually heard someone use the term “sonny” in actual conversation.
She took advantage of my stunned silence to launch into a diatribe about her experience the last time she shopped there. Something about coupons, and how her stuff was bagged, etc. etc. etc. When she paused for a moment to take a breath, I tried to tell her again that I didn’t work there. “Ma'am I can’t…” She interrupted me by screaming “I SAID SHUT UP!”, then launches into her diatribe again. Now I tend to avoid confrontations, but I can usually hold my own. This old bat had just dragged me into uncharted territory though. Nothing in my life up to that point has prepared me to deal with a screaming elderly woman half my size. I was more than half afraid she was going to have a stroke right there on the spot.
I let her run down a bit and tried again, a bit louder. “Ma'am, I don’t wor…” She then tries to clamp her bony hand over my mouth! I had to fend her off by holding my clipboard in front of my face. At that moment some of my Grandpa’s wisdom came to the rescue. I remember him telling me once, that when someone is that angry, anything you say will only make them worse. If you just calmly stand there and let them rant until they wind down, then you can deal with them. The best part is they don’t get much satisfaction out of it, and they end up looking like an even bigger jerk than they would if you had yelled back.
So I made up my mind to just stand there nodding and listening until she stopped again. I kept my mouth shut. She stared at me for a long moment, and then says pointedly, “WELL!?!”.
I responded with a mild “ Well, what?”
Old lady, “AREN’T YOU GONNA HELP ME?”.
I keep my voice calm, but speak louder than absolutely necessary
“No, but if you want my opinion, I’d go talk to someone who works here”
Finally, her eyes darted to the logo on my uniform shirt, and widened a bit when she realizes that it did not say “Kmart”. I suddenly realized how quiet it has gotten. A quick glance over my shoulder revealed everyone within earshot, had stopped to watch the show. With with all the screaming on her part, that included pretty much everyone in the front half of a store, that was already busy with people making returns, and people buying whole cart loads of Christmas clearance items. Someone snorted, another made a choking noise, and then the laughter started. It hadn’t struck me as funny up to that point, but when it did, it was all I could do to control myself.
She glanced around, opened her mouth and closed it as if she started to say something then thought better of it. After a few seconds, she turned around and marched herself right back out the wrong way through the entrance door, without so much as a muttered apology.
Thanks for the advice Grandpa, you were a far wiser man than I ever realized.
tl;dr Old lady screams at me and interrupts me multiple times when I try to tell her that I don’t work there. So I let her make a fool of herself in front of a crowd.

LADIES REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE!!! BOOST!!!
I SAID BOOST!!!! LADIES ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD😫😫😫
SIGNAL BOOST INTO SPACEEEEEE
Childhood ruined
• Use the hand you write with.
• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.
• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.
• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.
Useful information, esp. if you haven’t taken self defense.
I reblogged this once before to add this and I’ll do it again…
keep your wrist straight.
You can also risk breaking your wrist if you allow it to bend. I actually can’t believe this isn’t in there.
Other good pointers:
if your attacker is male, go for his junk - especially if he’s wearing loose pants. There’s no sportsmanship when it comes to assault so fuck them balls UP
punching pretty much ANYWHERE in the face is going to actually hurt you a LOT (just think - you’re punching your bones into their bones and ow). If you’re going for the face, my suggestion is to strick upwards with your palm.
see that meaty portion highlighted in red? There’s a lot of muscle and fat right there which makes it excellent for striking. Hold your hand as shown and aim for the nose or chin (though I’ve been told in extreme circumstances, doing this to the nose can be fatal but I’ve never really heard if this is true or not) and just aim upwards
other delicate areas:
the shin (hurts like a bitch if you kick it right - also, you can hit this spot if you’re being held in a choke-hold and if your attacker has to move in order to stop you from kicking him, he’ll have to angle his body so as to expose his stomach and crotch to the wild spastic jabbings of your elbows)
the solar plexus (either jab while holding your hand in a sort of spear position or use your elbows - unless you’re super strong, your punch probably won’t wind your attacker. Your elbow or a spear hand will, however)
Originally in (most) martial arts, you hit the solar plexus because it supposedly contained an important chakra. Now we know that it actually also contains like a bunch of necessary organs that are exposed just below your ribs and is also (roughly) where your diaphragm lives so getting punched there is not pleasant.
the clavicle (from experience, getting hit in your clavicle HURTS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER. If you strike downwards with your knuckles, the person might just cry. Like I did.)
the ear (this is probably the best place to punch besides the throat. It’s all cartilage so it probably won’t hurt you all that much and most people will be like “DUDE YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE EAR WHAT THE HELL”)
the kidneys (this is harder to hit without training but if you somehow get your attacker’s back to face you, try to hit’em in the kidneys. Again, from experience, this FUCKING HURTS. You can’t really hit the kidneys from the front with any effect but from the back it is super painful)
if you’re held in a choke-hold, try turning your head so the forearm isn’t pressed into your throat. If you can position yourself right, you can sort of force your chin into the crook of the elbow, making you able to still receive (limited) oxygen and provide time for you to kick some shins or elbow some spleens and shit
-Also, remember that a guy’s junk is not an off-button. Don’t think that you can rely on a swift kick to the balls to immediately incapacitate him in an emergency. Adrenaline and anger can keep somebody going for a long time even through extreme pain, and if you expect to end a fight with a single groin-attack you might be caught off-guard when he doesn’t drop. Certainly go for it if you get the chance, but keep hitting him until the fight is over.
-Draw blood if you can, especially if you can draw it from the face or the eyes. Blood in the eyes is not just a good way to impair your attacker’s vision, it’s also a really good way to freak them out and let them know that they might be getting more than they bargained for by picking a fight with you.
-Elbows and knees are really powerful weapons. Elbows are very sharp and very strong and if you are in close-range they are often more effective than trying to throw a punch.
-Yelling and shouting makes you scary.
Nothing much to add to this, it’s pretty much all there. So. Reblog. Oh, also, it’s really easy to break a nose - go for the eyes too. All it takes to avoid a shot to the throat is tucking your chin. Also, that part about the ear - don’t punch. An open hand over the ear hurts a lot.
Tumblr teaching me how to fuck a bitch up
Also if you fuck up their face it’ll be easier for police to identify the attacker.
If someone gets you from behind and you cant punch them, go for the underside of the upper-arm. A bad pinch there is legit so painful because that skin is super sensitive. Also this cant be stressed enough, if the attacker is a guy then fucking rip his junk off.
When throwing a punch:

The fact that buzfeed made it makes it 10 times better
*classical music playing in background* [setting the table]
Narrator: “Here, we will speak about the etiquette of the holiday meal.”
“Here are the ingredients of the meal.”
[puts turkey on plate] “The flesh of a dead bird.”
[cut to two Brussels sprouts on the plate] “These are Brussels sprouts. They are nature’s turd; they taste like tiny turds.”
[rolling Brussels sprouts off the plate] “This is what you do with Brussels sprouts. It is good etiquette.”
[puts stuffing on the plate] “This is stuffing. It is made of bread and vegetables. It is called stuffing because it was stuffed into the anus of a dead bird. Delicious.“
[cut to a single legume on the plate] “A legume. Billy has made a penis out of the legume. That is bad etiquette. [smearing mashed potatoes on the plate and glass so to look like the legume-penis has “ejaculated”] Billy should be sent to his room.“
[making a penis out of a carrot and two Brussels sprouts] “By contrast, here Billy makes a penis on accident. [removing the carrot from the display by eating half of it and putting it back in a different position] He quickly fixes his mistake. That is good etiquette. Now you don’t have to go to your room, Billy.”
[cut to cranberry jelly on the plate] “Here are cranberries.”
[cut to mashed potatoes on the plate] “And the mash of potato. [sticking his finger into the mashed potatoes and dragging it through] What has Billy hidden under his mash? Look, it’s the cranberry. He’s being silly.”
[cut to full arrangement of dinner on the plate including stuffing, legumes, carrots, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, turkey, cranberries, and a roll] “Look at the nice way Billy has arranged his food on the plate.”
[cut to different arrangement] “Now he has arranged it by colors. He is being creative.”
[cut to minimalist arrangement] “Look, Billy is not very hungry now, and he still makes a nice plate.”
[cut to arrangement of individual bites featuring all aspects of the meal] “Look at the tiny bites he has made.”
[cut to arrangement of meal by food group in the shape of a triangle] “Now he has made a food pyramid. Billy has no friends.”
[cut to food separated from each other on the plate so nothing is touching] “He has separated his food. He is an obsessive. Maybe he writes computer programs.”
[squeezing all the food in his hands] “Billy is acting like an idiot. He is playing with his food.”
[cut to a picture of the food that looks like a person with blood splattered on their face and the word “DIE”] “He has made a bad drawing on his plate. Billy needs therapy.”
[cut to a picture of the food that looks like a scenic landscape picture] “He has made a nice drawing. Billy doesn’t need therapy now.”
[cut to food with Billy holding his fork about to eat] “Here is the correct way of using your eating utensil.”
[cut to fork lying on the plate with no food on the plate] “This is the wrong way. [Billy shows that he is holding all the food in his hand] This is bad etiquette.” [places the food on top of the fork]
[cut to plate with only mashed potatoes on it] “[making a divot in the potatoes with a spoon] Billy makes a divot in his mash for his gravy. [pouring the gravy into the divot] He is sexually frustrated.”
[cut to full plate of food with Billy pouring gravy all over it] “Billy went on a date. Look at how he applies his gravy now.”
[cut to Billy holding his hand over his food and pouring the gravy on his hand] “Now Billy is addicted to pornography.”
[cut to bowl of salad] “He doesn’t like the salad. [throws all the salad out of the bowl] It reminds him of death.”
[bringing pumpkin pie into shot] “Now it’s time for pie. [lifting slice out of the pie tin] Billy takes a small piece. How much is left? How much pie is left? [showing a bar graph of remaining pie vs taken pie] Here is a graph.”
[spraying canned whipped cream on top of slice of pie] “May I have some whip, please? Billy is still addicted to pornography.”
[cut to cranberry remnants on plate arranged to look like an ink blot painting] “He is finished now, and he sees things on his messy plate. Billy sees the devil.”
[cut to pumpkin pie remnants on plate arranged to look like Elvis Presley] “Now he sees something different. He is (voice and picture distort) hallucinating now.”
[cut to completely empty table] “The meal is now done, and Billy says ‘Happy Holidays’.”
