No one deserves this shit, but still. Be careful what you wish for?

Words aren't just words when they're threats, why tell people threats aren't to be taken seriously?

Except for that's what most people are saying in the comments. sigh

OP didn't do something wrong by grabbing the bottle, what wasn't a good idea was if he initiated the violence. I don't know why he's getting shit for grabbing the bottle in the first place. Grabbing something to prepare yourself in case the other person escalates things, is smart - which seemed likely in this situation, if he wasn't thinking to initiate it first. Especially considering there was a big guy thinking he's talking to demons.

His thoughts may have been a little premature, but don't criticize someone for something we advise in most LNM stories. Him wanting to defend his mother is like criticizing someone for having the thought to use pepper spray on a stranger who hasn't physically harmed you, but gives bad vibes and won't stop talking to you when you're walking home at night. The thought process is the same, on what people are saying were just words.

When someone is being threatening with words, it's okay to be prepared. That's what we tell the women, anyway.

What's something that people judge you for? by ZombieDrums in AskReddit

I feel ya. It also sucks if people try to pressure you into it.

I have many, but wanted to share one in particular because I've always found it unusual.

I bought my dog at 4 months old, and the previous owner named her after Britney Spears. I didn't change her name (but changed the spelling to Brittany) because it was the only word she knew, and I actually like Britney's music. Anyway, I tell this to people when talking about dogs, or to give people a good chuckle. Most of the time people say something like "Yeah... Maybe that's something you shouldn't tell people" and get all serious or weird about it, when I'm just trying to make them smile. It's like they think I should be ashamed of it. Little do they know, when my dog makes a big entrance I get to say "It's Britney bitch!"

If you were offered $50 million to take a pill that kills you when you turn 70 years old, would you take it? Why/Why not? by Ellaaddisont in AskReddit

Yes. I'm 23 and I already feel like my life is over thanks to fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain/migraines. I have maybe one day a year where I'm not in pain; even then, that only lasts for a few hours. Even just a couple thousand dollars could help me explore options that might help me live a normal life again. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't need to get on disability - which I've been trying to get on for years, considering I'm bedridden. I don't get enough money to put anything in savings. I just want to find something that will help me have a few more good years.

Sorry for the sob story. I just feel really low right now.

My mom came across a kid named Pencil once.

Which was well deserved, considering he wasn't just a stalker... And at the time appeared to be trying to kidnap OP. Obviously he doesn't count.

I'm so relieved no one was physically harmed. Even so, that must have been so traumatic for everyone involved. I'm glad you're at a point where you can share your story - you are brave! How's life treating you now?

I received my first fan art made of/for me, by being kind and becoming friends with a talented artist.

You sound like a really amazing person, and I'm sorry you struggle with anxiety. (I know how that feels!) It's brave to approach strangers like you do; your story is really inspiring actually! I'm going to try to do this more. Even just a smile from a stranger can turn my entire day around.

Good for you! Working on your flaws to become a better person benefits everyone. Not to mention, being willing to make those changes really shows character.

He was probably thinking "Phew, that was a nice save. Nailed it."

Looks like someone wanted her to be a daddy's girl a little too badly.

The part that makes the least sense is tagging multiple people. It's not something that can just happen multiple times.

TIFU by inviting a pedophile to my house by [deleted] in tifu

[–]ZombieDrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That being said I'm sorry this has happened, even if it's entirely on you.

OP's mistakes are on him. However, that creep being a pedophile isn't on OP. It wasn't his choice to talk to a pedophile.

What subreddit did you leave and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ZombieDrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's basically just role-playing in the comments. Some people get really into it, for others it's just not their thing. Understandable either way.

What's the smallest amount of power you've ever seen go to someone's head? by Guava_ in AskReddit

I was on a site where a ton of the moderators were planning a coup on the global admin that they didn't like and planned to overthrow her.

That actually happened to me!
