All right. I know this is in the past and all, but I still need to know what I should have done...

I have no idea why, but apparently I have a reputation as intimidating. Of course, I think the consensus of the people that "voted" to my friends were just joking but...

I was eating lunch one day, and a chicken slathered in mustard hit my shoulder. My first expression was to see if there was a person behind me ( I don't like to be touched ) and saw that the table behind me was laughing. I glanced at them and they all pointed to the table to their left, where all the guys there were sort of snickering. Now, I was extremely angry, so I checked to see if it had hit my headphones ( I listen to my music, very meditational purposes ) and backpack, which, lucky for him, it did not. I stood up, and walked over to the table, and asked who the hell threw that. They all pointed to this one person.

My first reaction was to grab his arm and twist it behind his back, shoving him onto the table while using my other hand to choke/hold the back of his neck and making him apologize. But then... he stood up and was like, I don't know, kind of blocking himself and kept waving his hands and was saying that he didn't do it. Coward. He was a head taller than me, and not to mention a guy, so probably a little stronger, too. He was actually scared of me. It was very pathetic. And all the of his "friends" kept chanting, "Kick his ass, kick his ass, kick his ass..." So, feeling sorry ( Why do I have a conscience? ) for him, and his pathetic display of manliness, I told him to go to the bathroom, and fetch me a wet paper towel. And he scampered off.

Now, I know that that was really silly, I KNOW I should have at least slapped him or kick him or something, but seriously, I did not know if it really was him, or if he was just the one that all his friends pick on. But also remember, that there are also cameras ( to make sure no food fights start ) that officers can refer back to later if it became a real fight.

What would you have done?

Not everything has to be resolved by violence, you after all did win the battle without lifting a finger and that's a very good thing indeed, unless you feel you honour has been tarnished beyond repair, at which point you should callenge him to a duel, it all should be fine.

Thats retarded! I hate steriotyping! I get it all the time! I wouldnt do nothing! I get hit by food all the time and I ignore it. Then the person who threw it gets pissed because I didnt, thorws somemore, gets cought and im happy.

NOTE: DONT STERIOTYPE!

well that dude was a bastard...

but to be honest... i wouldn have done anything.. why? because im such a sad and lonely guy... lol haha no
i wouldn have done anything because i dont stoop to that low of a level where i need to get revenge and resolve to violence.. im more mature than that...
it someitmes might take a thickheaded person like that guy to realise pplz maturity... but sooner or later they will stop being an idiot to you because he can see your maturity and erhh.. yeah...

maybe im no help here lol... but yeah.. thats what i would do...

Yeah stereotyping can suck, but just remeber that if someone really gets to you and offends you it is an eye for an eye, you don't even have to use violence, an insidious campaign of suggestion for example, you don't even have to start right away let it hang for a while revenge is after all a dish best served cold. Not that I'm advocating revenge.

In real life, I would just give that guy and the whole table a freaking scary glance (my friends consider my glance scary for some reason), and I'll say "Do that again and one of you will die." With my fist pointing to them. I actually have the advantae here because I'm quite tall (People mistake me for a senior/junior rather than a sophomore which I am.) and I can actually hurt them real bad (I have an odd reputation as a "Thug" last year which I never really was. I just give strong blows that really hurt people when I dont mean it to be.)

However if I really think about it, all you need to do is give sympathy sometimes IF the person does not make any stupid remarks or something in that area. You must not make the first move, and let the offender go first. That way you wont get into more trouble than he is, and you would be able to defend yourself in that situation. Just remember not to throw your weight around toward everyone you hate. Even if you have a chicken smothered with mustard on your back. Not unless its your favorite peice of clothing. However, I like the way you told him to get a paper towel for you, it shows that you are strong, and demanding which doesnt make others portray you as a repeatable target.

Er... did you mean that I stereotyped or I was stereotyped.

Yes, I suppose. I always try to meditate to calm myself, because I have a tendency to react if there are no teachers around. And, those four stories gets around and becomes more and more dramatic, so most of the time, people try to get to me to see me reveal my "ninja skills". It is so ridiculous. Although amusing, but, very annoying after two years of that. Just because people have instincts and reactions, doesn't mean that they have ninja skills. Seriously.

Yes, Hiei! I know exactly what you are talking about. My friends say that I also have an "evil glare" that when someone really pisses me off and I can't do anything about it. And they say that since my eyes are really dark brown, that you can't see the pupils, it looks like I'm just staring with fury or something. I don't know. I never know what the heck they're talking about.

Hey my eyes are like that (really dark brown) sometimes occasionally they lighten up a bit and the pupils are easier to see though.

Yes... I don't think mine ever lights up. Maybe it is because I also wear black, so that might darken it a little.

My eyes are the same. Its so dark that my parents kept complaining that my eyes are black because I am staring at the comptuer screen too long. When I look in teh mirror with light, it shows as "dark" brown.

Yes. I call it dark brown because no one really has black eyes. You can still see their pupils even if you have to lean in really close.

That's a weird explanation for black eyes...

..... my eyes are a light brown to start with...... so.... i dunno. ive never been on the recieving end of one of my glares, so i have no idea XD

Eh...

To liven up this thread, some people can share their mishaps, or things...

ah..... depression..... soso annoying, and extremely laggy. i hate it

You have depression?

kinda..... but not really. i just have alota work that i know i should be doing and stuff. But i just hate the idea of going back into depressione..... <.<

Hm... so you were depressed.

eheh... ya..... the worst thing about it was the fact that i knew i shouldnt be.... yet i still was...... and i kinda wanted to lose the feeling of being sad.... mad my persective on life a bit.... bleak.....

Oh... right.

*bangs head on wall* I swear, the cafeteria is becoming an omen for me... -.- stupid people. Wait... now, should I post this in this thread, or the school thread?

Hmmmm..... I can't say really. I am a pacifist my nature, so I would pro'bly not turn around and continue eating. It caused no lasting harm to me, so why bother with the argument? I would turn smile, proceed to clean the mess up, and continue to eat. Mind you, I would mark his face so that if I ever had a class with him, or encountered him, I would not ask for help or adknowlage(sp?) his ability to do somthing. Nothing more nothing less.

You can do many things far worse to a person than cause a fight or argument over silly matters; just remeber that!

Wait, so are you a pacifist? Because if you were, why would you mark his face? Confused...
Yes, but I *try* not to make rash decisions... so therefore I always analyze everything I do, before I do it, and by the time I'm done, it's too late.

A pacifist means you do not inflict harm to another, or wish harm to another, but it does not mean that you trust everyone and forget all the situations that occur during battle.

I can clearly remember everyone that tried to pick fights with me, the amount of times I was reticuled(sp?), and the times I was physically harmed. Of course, I did not harm those people back, but I remebered them, and avoided them; carfully planning about so that another conflict would not arise. I simply overlook there actions, and contiue to move forward. If I was to bump into them, I would greet them happly(sp?) and treat them like any other person, but I would not entrust them with anything important. I carfully sorted out my words so that nothing about myself could be exposed; so that nothing could cause conflict, or another argument. In a way, a Pacifist is someone that gives everyone the same amount of trust in the beginning, but that trust is affected by the way they act and treat others. I treat eveyone equally, yet I claim to segregate(sp?) between those whom treat me properly and those whom do not... It is a difficult situation to explain to those whom are not a pacifist....

I suppose you could say that its all about the amount of trust in the person.

Yes, I suppose. Though I do see where you are getting at.

I guess I can't call myself a pacifist. Although, I guess I'm different from you because you don't want to wish harm on others, but I just don't want to be caught, therefore not harming others.

I think you did the right thing not hurting that guy. Those stupid schoolmates of yours obviously want to see you whacking up that guy. When you did not, you just prove that you are more than " ninja skills". Personally, I would have thrown the chicken back at them.

Eh... I wouldn't touch the chicken... it was slathered in mustard and... it was on... the floor! (Look of horror) How germy.

All right. I know this is in the past and all, but I still need to know what I should have done...

What would you have done?

What is this, grade school?

Hm... well, considering all schools are numbered with grades, I suppose. Man, lighten up Sinbios Zefiris Ark. Must you diss everything?

I am just astonished at the level of maturity exhibited by this... group of people. Throwing food? Fist clenching? Circle egging?

Sounds like some cheesy elementary school drama of girl with secret super powers or something.

Yes, how immature they are. That's what I was pointing out. If not for yourself at least, to figure it out.
