Only one Mrs. Claus (still looking for her), but no limit on the number of Miss Claus candidates (and that's a much cuter outfit to wear, BTW).

You can cuff me anytime

It's a deal. Plus, I promise never to try to steal your E500 (only because I have a pair of my own). Well, not only because of that! I would also like to maintain my dingle berries in a reasonably good state of repair!

We have to cut through an industrial park which is empty on Sundays. That's when everything changes. He starts joking that I should give him my e500s, then gets serious about it. Then he grabs me and pulls out a knife and tells me to give them to him.

Damn audiophiles.

Nah, just showing some well deserved respect for a job well done. I'd probably do the same thing if I had those types of self defense skills. It amazes me that there are not more situations like this occurring these days because it seems like everyone is taking Tae Bo and karate classes.

taking classes is different than being able or even wanting to defend yourself physically. You don't know what the attackers combat skills are, what type of weapons he is carrying, etc. From martial arts I would probably gain the discipline to walk away from a fight rather than engage in one.

 

[Schalldampfer]

Wow... I don't think I would've risked that, even though I am quite proficient in martial arts, if I may be so presumptuous. Even with all the knowledge, it's still not safe to go up against an armed combatant. If I were your parents, I would've chewed you out, too. Headphones, as dear as they are to us, don't deserve our risking our lives for them.

What?!?! Are you serious? Man, you're not worthy to be a member here!!! Of course you should gaurd your headphones with your life! (Ok, I'm really just kidding. Your point is well taken.)

She should have hit him with a good dose of that pepper spray, though! I'm with her mom on that count. Otherwise, when will she ever use it? Seems like a waste of money to buy something and then never use it. Kind of like having a fire extinguisher in the house but using water from the garden hose outside when you actually do have a fire.

x4 on the pepper spray - and, you could do a lot worse in life than guarding Wayne's phones.

 

[fishcarver]

Impressive story and good outcome. I have never been in any situation remotely close to this so I can only imagine the adrenaline rush. I have a lot of respect for you and your ability to protect yourself and your property. Thanks for posting this encounter.

 

[jumpinjohn1234]

wow thats crazy! aw you should have taken his wallet and say "sorry about your wallet- welcome to headfi)

I'm going to carry a glock 18c from now on and maybe a couple grenades

 

[Singapura]

You know, this must be the guys worst day ever. He thought he could "handle" a nerdy head-fier (and a girl at that!) I think you deserve a statue from all nerdy, headphoneloving, star wars discussing guys out here!
