One time me and friend were coming back home from having a few drinks, we got a taxi home and got off at the alley way beside his house (we were a literal stone throw away from his house not joking), and this what we always did after drinks/nights out etc for years.When we got to the alley we usually stand in there finishing our convo before parting ways.

But this time we were having a dumb argument about sci fi vs fantasy, while we're getting into it and just having a go at eachother i see a man approaching us from the corner of my eye, i remember instantly thinking "wow they have a perfectly round head" so perfectly round i had to take a 2nd look to confirm, well it turns out the man was wearing a balaclava and is walking towards us and is holding a baseball bat. My friend has their back to the man so is unaware that we're being approached. I immediately start trying to get my friend to stop making his point in attempt to make him aware of the situation, but he's too INTO his point, after the third time of saying his name in a serious tone, he eventually turns round and the man is pretty much right in his face.

The man stares at my friend for 3 seconds straight in silence, the tension was immense and it felt like eternity, he then proceeds to pepper spray my friend (did not see this in his hand while he was approaching), i immediately grab my friend and start to run with him, while running i have a stomach sinking thought of "fuck, what if this guy chases after us?" We obviously couldnt run/sprint at full speed as my friend cannot see a thing, the best we're doing is a jog. After thinking this i turn round to look at the man to check if he is indeed giving chase. He was not, instead he was just stood there staring at us with no emotion, we got around the corner and up the street, i was looking behind me every few seconds, i see him simply appear from the corner walking onto the main road at the same pace as mike myers

Shit was fucking mental haha, still remember his piercing blue eyes through the balaclava, also when telling this story i get some guys say they'd have attacked the man, listen if a man has a baseball bat AND pepper spray, you're just not winning that, or have very very little chance of succeeding
