So im drivin down the streets if the Dirty D at like 3:30AM, leavin da bar SONSo im riding and Im comin to this intersection on Trinity Avenue that I usually am nervous about anyway, because the light lasts two minutes, and the intersecting street is actually intersecting at an angle, so you cannot see past the corner of this building located there unless you pulll up 3/4 of a car length into the intersection (which I most certainly do)So anyway, im drivin up and about 25 feet in front of me in the median i notice this young brotha standing in the median dressed in all black with his hoodie pulled up right at the stopping line for the intersection. Motherfucker starts to walk forward right, im like o hell no you aint, jackboySo you know what I do, I institute the "right turn rule" I dont even slow down i just turn right, pull a left into the convenience store parking lot, drive to the next road, and then hang another quick right back onto trinity avenueChunk my dueces out the window and speed on home safe and soundMoral of the story, fuck a jackboy, its too cold for that shit dont be the one walkin home.Always be aware of your surroundings![Edited on December 16, 2010 at 4:41 PM.

0/10. This "story" = the suck.
12/17/2010 12:49:28 AM
I figured "chunk my dueces" means that at somepoint in this event he was so scared he pooped himself and as he was getting back on the road, tossed said poop out the window to help with the smell...

I'll play...Sometime in the first few months of 2001 I stopped to use a payphone at 3:00 a.m. near downtown Winston Salem. A older Mercedes pulled into the lot at a relatively fervent pace just as I was hanging up the phone. I wasted no time walking straight towards the driver's door of my truck. Three dudes hopped out from each of the passenger doors and the driver stayed behind the wheel. The one closest to me said "Hey man, do you have change for a $Twenty" just as I opened the door to my truck. The Mercedes was roughly 15' away and he was walking towards me as he said this. In one smooth motion I said "Nope" as I slid into the truck, shut the door, bumped the lock with my left elbow, plugged the key in with my right hand, pushed the clutch with my left foot, turned the key with my right hand, stomped the gas with my right foot, and dumped the clutch with my left foot. The three of them were at my window when the truck took off. I have almost zero doubt that I was just a few seconds away from being robbed or worse. It really all happened as a blur, but I felt as if my natural instincts took over to remove me from the situation. It was that perfect moment where the brain thinks about nothing while having total clarity. It wasn't a scared "fight or flight" moment with shaky hands trying to find the right key and feeding it into the ignition like you see in the movies at all. Offending people, societal pressures, etc. all faded away and the mind took over in the name of self preservation. Had I taken a moment to be polite and check my wallet to see if I had change the situation may have gone down in a drastically different manner. Trust your instincts and don't be afraid to offend anyone or waste a little time/gas to protect yourself.[Edited on December 17, 2010 at 2:37 AM. Reason : l]

i've almost hit a black person wearing dark clothes at night before on multiple occasions (though i guess "almost" implies i had to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid it, or something)...black folk can't be hanging out in black clothes on a black night, mang...at least the white folk kinda glow in the dark
12/17/2010 7:52:46 AM
general rule of thumb, if someone on the street comes up asking about money (whether I have change for a bill, a dollar, or some coin) I always say "nope" and keep moving while keeping an eye on said person just in case.

You should've hit him

i think i was almost attempted to be carjacked/robbed by a couple mexicans in broad daylight at the walmart in Garner once.one of them stood at the back of my car, the other walked up to my window when i had gotten in and just stood there beside my window lookin at me, i just cranked my engine, reversed out of my spot and left lol
12/17/2010 10:12:52 AM
I tell you what- whenever I went to that walmart, I always was strapped with my hand on my piece in my pocket while I was walking in the parking lot, and I didn't let go until we were moving or inside the door... I've been there twice when someone was jacked in the parking lot
12/17/2010 10:15:55 AM
white people be like "i woulda given him the benefit of the doubt. he was probably just some poor street urchin hoping for a handout so he could buy a coat" SHHEEEEEEEIIITT.i'da done the same thing bighitsunday did (since i do not own a gun)
12/17/2010 3:26:44 PM
if BHS was as gully as I thought, he would've gotten out of the car and arm-barred that motherfucker into submission

An unrelated lesson about evasive driving:If you ever get into a situation where you are in your car, and someone walks out in front of your car to try to block you or prevent you from going anywhere (maybe while someone else comes to your window) - stomp the gas and cover the brake. The car will lurch forward with enough speed that the person will definitely move out of the way, but you won't exactly be running him down, ready to stop if neccessary
12/18/2010 1:21:33 AM
my parents used to say there is no need to be out late at night, nothing good happens after midnight.this thread may be their validation.
12/18/2010 1:28:04 AM
^ what does "cover" the break mean?This story would have been way more awesome had you said he came up to the car, you got out, and given him the same honor you did this man
12/18/2010 1:31:51 AM
Yeah, the situation that Skack described is probably reminiscent to most females...except not for the robbery part...Us, ladies, routinely have to book out of gas stations to avoid awkward fake number exchanges. I'm pretty sure there's some hooker who robs my PJ pants cause I swear to goodness, the boys sure do act like I owe them something in my freaking skiing penguin pants.

Thats why I never drive aloneI always have a passenger, leaning out the window with a running chainsawMost whip wolves get somewhat confused when a possible vic has a crazy man with a chainsaw hanging out of the window, and look for an easier mark]
