Ok the following thing happened to me today, which I'd like your opinion on.
I'd finally got my girl to come with me to a death metal concert and even got her to allow me to take along my mates and drink all the beers I wanted,
So on the way home on the public transport I was all high on endorphins and adraneline and whatever good old chemicals your body makes up when you feel good (+ some alcohol).

So when some wannabe gangsta on the metro pulled a gun on me and demanded all my money, I responded by headbutting him, throwing his gun away through the cart and pushing him out when the doors opened. Rest of the passengers loved me, but not my girl. She's as pissed off as I've ever seen her. Tonight I'm banished to the couch in the home I pay the mortgage on.

WTF? Now I'm not gonna pretend that I did any thinking how I should act, it all happened quickly and on instinct. But was I really in the wrong? Seems to me if I just forked over the money she'd probably be angry with me for being a pussy. Did I really fuck up or was I the victim of a catch 22?

This should answer everything, I think.

In actuality, you're fucked either way. Hopefully she'll calm down and figure out how much of a bad ass you are.

I guess maybe she was freaked out by the possibility of you dying? Just a thought.

Good job, though.

^ Agree with the above. All of it.

Sounds pretty unreasonable to me. If she doesn't want to share a bed with you because of her own shit, she should feel free to sleep on the couch. Forcing someone out of their bed, especially for something like this, sets an unreasonable precedent.

You could also kick her out.

Shit is alright again now. She went to her mother's yesterday who actually talked some sense into her on my behalf. The incident just really put the scare into her.

I agree with Adam on the couch thing in theory. But in practice I'd rather take the couch than have another fight on top of the existing fight.

Ha. Yes, pick you battles. I've never had "dog house" issues with my spouse. I hear a lot of guys talk about that and it kind of blows my mind. When a coworker told me about how he does things with his wife, that is the person who has the problem can sleep on the couch if they really want to, that sounded like a great system to me.

But really, using violence when someone holds you up might not always be the best idea. Better to lose your wallet than your life. Again, pick your battles. You obviously had a handle on this one.

I generally agree with that last bit too. But I dunno, I was all jacked up from the metal concert and just acted. The whole thing was over in maybe 20 seconds
There was a guy from the transport company aboard who went after the guy when I pushed him out and restrained him before he got up. Presumably he had someone give him the gun too, but by then I had some passengers around me who wanted to shake my hand. And before I knew it the doors closed again and we went on. So I assume the transport company had everything well in hand.

So when do you start reading chicks' thoughts like Mel Gibson?

What women don't want:

- Being told they deserve to be raped by a pack of niggers for dressing provocatively!
- Being called "Sugartits".

But you don't have to do that. He's all old and scraggly now.

As an atheist I did enjoy that snuff movie of his where he had Jesus tortured for two hours tho

B E C K · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2012, 06:38:41 PM »

I didn't see that one. I hadn't read the book yet and I didn't want to be spoiled.

Rama · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2012, 10:04:27 PM »

He dies in the end. There I done spoiled it.

He comes back in the next issue.

The real question is:
What death metal concert did you go to?

Honestly, that is probably the most important thing in the OP.

Rumble · « **Reply #24 on:** Jun 11, 2012, 03:03:44 PM »

You are correct. I forgot to mention the only thing worth knowing.
It was a local band called Corpse Sludge. They're actually more of a death metal coverband, but they're great live.

The D · « **Reply #25 on:** Jul 05, 2012, 06:40:13 PM »

Never heard of them probably because they're local.

Went to a Rammstein concert back in May. Despite the cost it was worth every penny, even middle-aged they kick ass. It was probably the best rock concert I've been to ever. Any show where they're lighting stuff on fire with a flamethrower that shoots flames 50 feet is good to me.
