I had a drunk barge into my room in the barracks one evening, and threaten me. I asked him to leave, and he started screaming for me to stop working on someone's stereo, and give him my tools, then yelled, Give me that !@#$%^&* soldering iron, right now! I asked, This one? Then I lunged at him, and missed him by less than an inch. He did a standing broad jump, backwards into my wall locker, and slammed his head into it. Funny thing is, he never came back to bother me after that. LOL! |
