I know someone who politely declined to be mugged. He's a big guy and took a shortcut home through an alley, while listening to music on his phone. Halfway through the alley, someone approached him, holding out an object at about belly height. My friend didn't quite here what he said, but assumed it was someone trying to get him to sign a petition, and Said "No thank you, I'm not interested" before continuing on his way.
He realized when he got to the other side that the man hadn't had a clipboard, the pen was weirdly shaped, and petition people rarely hang around in dark alleys on the off chance someone passes by.
Only then did he realize what had happened.
Shady guy in the alley: “Well yeah I wouldn’t be interested either.” *goes home to drink*
Fun fact: take off sense inhibiting equipment at the very first sign you might need your wits. One time I had a close call at a certain gateway with a car. After that, I took off my headphones at every "intersection". For the next 4 or 5 times. After those I just went "not worth it" and stopped listening to music outside safe places.
@@BusinessWolf1 - This is very good advice and anyone who is reading it should do as you say. And please don't take this as me disagreeing.
But I'll admit I do find it somewhat amusing that you posted this in response to one of the very rare situations where someone not being aware of their surroundings actually helped them avoid danger.
Your story sounds like either 1 of two things happened.
1) The Robber was desperate and wanted to use the gun just to intimidate someone. The minute your friend just said no and walked off he didn't have the nerve to pull the trigger.
2) The had a really large handgun, heard "no thanks not interested" and assumed the guy thought he was poiking him with a boner. Flattered by the gesture he decided to let the one guy go.
Tbh honest scenario 1 is probably what happened, but in my head I will choose to believe it was scenario 2.
postal 2
So Story 3 is essentially: "Give us your money." "Could you not rob me? I'm trying to get laid." "Understandable. Have a nice day."
fr lmao these guys are actually perfect homie material
Why is there only 1 reply?
Peak Italian experience honestly
"If you kill me you're gay" gets them all the time.
Except when they're actually gay
I mean it is true. Stopped war in Korea.
I'm sure the algerian guy that removed the french guys hands during the recent ish race riots, broke his legs and "took him" claims not to be gay too.
@@evihippogrief772works on gays too
It didn't work on Jeffrey Dahmer. 🫤
Me: “kill me ur gay”
Killer: *GODDAMMIT*
what if ur killer is gay
😂😂😂😂😂
Works every time. 👍
plot twist: the killer is gay
Funny thing is that even if I was an adult I would fall for that.
Story 2. Whistle as loud as you can in the attackers ear. This may actually save a lot of women from being sexually assualted.
What if you can’t whistle
@@FriskKimura Go for the nuts 🥜🌰 🦶
@FriskKimura learn how!
does screaming in their ear work
@@CompanionBeans If you can reach the pitch high enough. Shriel.😊👌🏽
The fact that there's enough stories of this happening to make a 20 minute video on it is scary enough.
cmon man its reddit, do you really believe half of these are real?
@@swarmer7208 Never said that. But at the same time, I don't just assume everything I hear on reddit is fake.
I take everything with a grain of salt, but for the most part, people are unpredictable and aggressive, so I wouldn't be shocked if 90% of these are real.
@@emrickazor2610there are also like 7 billion people on earth and don't take this with a grain of salt.
@@swarmer7208Oh hi charls.
@emrickazor2610 I would be surprised if even 10% are real. Redditors are full of shit.
That last story; the guy's telling the truth about that Sociology book. I actually used Goffman's theories for my Sociology honours thesis describing the nature of cosplay and the expectations of roles between cosplayer, character and person. Definitely worth a read!
Very interesting, do u maybe know the book name?
Very cool. I wanted to do mine on the semiotics of internet memes
@@user-yk4zf7kg4q the presentation of self!
Funny thing is run or fight seems to be the reflex, but join the group as a guest is also a rather good measure.
I have a degree in sociology and never heard of that book. I'll try to find it in French bc it seems really interesting
Roomate's 3 week guest had a schizophrenic episode while we were in the living room. He wouldn't let go of me no matter what I said till I started copying what he was saying, it confused him so much he loosened his grip enough for me to slip free.
Omg good move. I wonder what went through his mind when you did that!
Fun fact: if you are about to be murdered, saying something about yourself to seem like a human will not help. Instead you have to prove you have the same skills.
So if the guy has a gun and I have a gun is it survival of the fitess? XD
@@ARandoDeveloperIn that case it’s more like survival of the quickest but close enough
What does that mean? Make them think the fight is not worth it?
@@ARandoDeveloperno, it’s whoever’s the fastest 😂😂
@ARandoDeveloper if you day you have a gun you better have a gun 😂😂😂
The last story I can kind if confirm that tactic. I was in a situation of being confronted in some people's side of the neighborhood once. And playing chill dude deescalated any friction between us. Just talking about relatable topics like asking if they seen a certain common watched show or something. A chill conversation seemed to subdued them.
Interestingly, it seems like a subtactic for the age old “humanize yourself to your attacker” strategy (ex: by telling them about your day or a favorite food your looking forward to having soon)
Basically the more they see you as a (fellow) human person, the harder it becomes for them to convince themselves to attack you. (Unless they’re like a sadistic, cold-blooded, serial killer or something)
science has confirmed that it's a lot harder to be mad at someone and eat with them. If you've got some food or a snack, take a bite and offer them some. There's evidence supporting this too, that's the funny thing.
@@chloskyskies4399 I think filtering this through your familiar lens of humanization and sympathy is blinding you to the larger more interesting principle that the poster was pointing to. That people will unconsciously fall into predefined social roles, and you can preemptively set the social roles available in the interaction by framing things a certain way.
When I was 16 this dude who hated me for no reason tried to mug me he was saying stuff like “give me all of your sh*t” “don’t make me ask again” stuff like that and I literally just stayed silent the entire time eventually he said “I’ll shoot you” and I said “do it” and he was silent and ran away 30 seconds later
Handled it perfectly
Real story
VERY risky move. You got lucky though, so good on you, i guess
I would be concerned for that kid with the gun on the street, that sounds like he didn’t really want to be doing what he was doing and could have been coerced into it via gang initiation.. gangs can be very predatory and use grooming tactics in their recruiting of minors, so I really hope that kid is okay and was able to get out of whatever situation put him on that street with a gun that night..
Apologies in advance for how long this will likely be. I don't know how close I was to getting murdered, but I wanna say this happened around two months ago? I was in the parking lot of my therapist's office (around 6:30PM). The place is pretty sketchy, around an hour from where I work, and I don't go there other than once per week for therapy. I'd gotten there a little bit early, so I was hanging out in my car until it was time to go inside. It was pretty dark out, but from the corner of my eye, I saw a man in a hoodie approach the driver's side of my car.
I was immediately wary, especially when the man started calling for me, knocking on my window, asking if I had a lighter. I had the music up in my car, but I paused it when this happened. I didn't look at the guy, stared straight ahead, pretended I didn't hear him. He kept yelling at me, asking me if I had a lighter, and some stupid part of my brain almost wanted to offer him mine. Of course, I shut that part up quick and put my hand over the lock on my door. It was the one time I hadn't locked my car. I was afraid that if I clicked the lock, he'd hear it and get more aggravated. So I just had to wait while he shouted at me. Finally, I turned to him and just said, "I don't have a lighter, man. Sorry." He walked away after that, somewhere behind my car.
At this point I was really shaky, but I locked my car the moment he stepped out of view. Turns out I'd been right about him getting aggravated, because the moment he heard the car lock, he sprinted back up to my window and started screaming at me, complimenting me, then saying depraved sexual shit, asking me if we could smoke together, get married, etc. Weird as fuck.
I ignored him even at this point, staring straight ahead as I lifted my phone to my ear and called my mother. I prayed this man thought I was calling the cops. My mom didn't answer, but my little sister did (she's eight years old). Quietly, I just told her to go find my mom. She seemed confused, but she heard the urgency in my voice and ran to give the phone to my mom. I quickly informed her of what was happening (bare-bones, just told her someone was harassing me at my car and wouldn't go away). By this point I'd turned from the guy so that he couldn't see my face or how scared I was. Seemed like he noticed my phone by then and ran off.
My mom told me to get the fuck out of there, so I sped away as quickly as I could. The moment I got into the intersection, I shit you not, this man jumped out from the bushes with his hands up, right in front of my moving car. I swerved to not hit him (instinct, I probably should've just fucking hit the guy) and almost crashed into another car. I drove blindly for a few minutes before calling my therapist, who told me I could come back if I wanted and that he'd escort me inside. I almost did go back, but at the last second, I had a horrible feeling. Like if I went back, I wouldn't be able to get away again. I called my therapist again and told him I was going home. I found out later that night that I was right. My therapist went out to investigate and found the man hiding where I'd been parked before, waiting for me to come back. On top of that, he was smoking a cigarette. Meaning he didn't need a lighter. He was trying to get me out of my car for some other shit.
My therapist called the police, and we later discovered that this guy already had a warrant out for his arrest for robbery. Fucking scary to think about what could've happened if I'd been any slower in locking my car, especially with all of the weird sexual shit he was saying to me.
Hey! Just letting you know I read it!
i’m so glad you’re ok!
That's absolutely terrifying
Story 14:
I can kinda see this story from the perspective of the metal rod guy.
I could actually see how his side of events is somewhere in another thread.
Somewhat along the lines of : "So one day I went out fishing to the local lake as I often do. Approaching my usual spot through the underbrush I realized to late that someone was just hanging out there and I just continued on. That guy than turned around with a fierce look on his face. Put his hand behind his back like reaching for a weapon. I just went back into the bushes and after contemplating that me holding my usual fish culling rod looked maby a little dangerous. At least I hoped that was what he thought and that I didn't just spot him after doing something I shouldn't have seen.
I decided to go back out and ask about fish so he would think I didn't suspect him of anything and that I myself was just out for fish, not going to rat him out for whatever he suspected he was caught doing. So I just returned without my gear and he left without any disturbance. Have never seen him since and I often wonder if I saw some kind of criminal hiding evidence or scouting out a location to hide body. I don't know but his eyes the moment he looked at me were scary. "
That's such a great and believable story of 'the other side'. Well written!
I didn't understand this part. Why was he so angry? Lol
@@redefinedliving5974 the dude said he didn't understand why either. i'm guessing it was adrenaline tho.
Yeah, I thought that guy could’ve been totally innocent and it was just a misunderstanding 🙃
social situations are a role ... Im not a good actress 😂
Of course, but it's not required to go as far as the sociology guy. Staying unshakeably calm helps diffuse tension, since very few people have the resolve to adopt a mood that is independent of external situations. It rubs off on the more vulnerable individual, and you don't want to absorb their anger/hurting intent. Asking for favours paints you in a friendly light which the last one does. Most fights start due to ego so that's also something. Alternatively just be crazier than them and they'll leave you alone(not recommended)
@genie9845 My disabled mother did this in a pub bathroom, these 2 girls can up to her and said they were both going to beat her up. She just nodded and calmly said "Okay". They were both so confused that they just said they were joking and let her go. For the rest if the night they kept coming over and acting like her best friend, they must have thought she was dangerous 😂.
Wait wait wait wait wait, hold up hold up hold up. Can we talk about how that one guy thought that the women in Italy would just want to have sex with him out of nowhere? Like what the fuck?
Teenagers are really really really dumb.
He must have heard that europeans weren't as prudish as americans
He acted like women were stray cats looking for food or something
He was a dumb kid
Typical passport bro antics

I knew a guy who was a missionary in a conference in South America. A local tried to rob him with a knife. He just lectured the man until he cried and apologized and left.
The missionary immediately vomited from the shock. He only had a few bills on him, “why didn’t he just give the guy the money?” He kept saying to himself.

That last story is absolutely invaluable in the best way possible
The brother in story 2 didn't _talk_ himself out of the murder, he _whistled_ himself out of it XD
So rhe lesson of these stories are. Don't play the killers game. The dice is already rolled. So take any chances for escape and survival.
I actually talked my way out of being stabbed, it was one of the most surreal moments of my life. He had his hand cusped around the back of my neck, dragging me into an alley way. Grateful for my ability to talk myself out of most sticky situations. Bad times.
What happened man, I wanna know
I've also had multiple scenarios where I was in a sketchy situation and talked my way out by talking about sport, the attacker's country, languages they speak, favourite music......all sorts of things. Best thing to do in a situation where you're in trouble is talk......try and buy time, grovel if you have to, it's about survival, if you have to do something embarrassing to survive.......do it. It could be something small like (you hate the sports team arsenal) "Hey are you an Arsenal fan? Same man, my dad lived in England for a while and was a big fan" or it could be much more difficult. My dad has talked his way out of arse kickings and life threatening situations many many times.......sometimes from doing/saying embarrassing things, sometimes from standing his ground. I have done it a couple of times myself.
The hell kind of area you guys live in?
That just sounds crazy to me… I’m glad I live in a mostly peaceful area.
Not murder, but definitely a fight that would have ended horrifically. This guy I was with walking back from a bar (we were both sloshed) got bumped into by someone behind us and started to try and act tough and big (he was neither for reference). I turn around to face two of the biggest men I’ve ever seen and they were just looking down on us with steely eyes. I immediately sobered up in the circumstances enough to recognize their tattoos as Polynesian, and based on the designs, the area of socal we were in and their features took an educated guess that they were Samoan. I put myself in the middle facing the large guys and immediately went into fawn mode “oh my gosh, are ya’ll Samoan? I absolutely love your tattoos! That’s so cool, are you from around here?” I basically just kept talking and complementing them, not letting anyone else get a word in edge-wise, until the crossing light changed and wished them a good night and we quickly went our way without any trouble. I learned that night that just staying calm and immediately changing the subject does quite a bit when drinking is involved. Gotten myself out of a few hairy situations with that since then. Moral of the story is basically what the last one said, change the situation, people are malleable, and calm confident deflection does more than you’d expect.
I always do this sort of thing to get out of any sort of mildly confrontational situation 😭
This was just an annoying situation but someonr was bragging about her kid that's a similar age to me with the intent of making me jealous or something so I immediately put on the biggest smile and was like "Oh my god I'm so proud of her! What did she do to practice for that? What's she going to do next? Omg she's got such a bright future!" With total glee and excitement and pride for this girl who's face I can't remember and she looked so wrong footed 😂 I was actually happy for the girl and we continued the conversation but her snobby tone disappeared
Story 8: it’s not exciting of a story but it reminds me of a time when my bf and I were staying at this shady motel. Anytime at all if someone were to knock, he ALWAYS made sure he was the one to open the door. A time he was across the street getting smokes and someone knocked at the door, me being super naive and having zero street smarts opened up and this guy was there starting to chat me up about what my name was, who I was with, if I was alone… all questions I just stupidly went along with answering. Mind you this guy was not in a staff uniform or anything, he was just in normal clothes a white tank top and dirty jeans. He started to lean towards me almost pushing me into my room when I noticed my bf coming back from the store crossing the motel parking lot.(it’s a small motel and lot say maybe 15 feet or 20 feet). Once my gaze was adverted from the man to my bf, he looked back and froze as my bf got to the door. My bfs pace is quite fast normally, and he can power walk a lot faster when he’s angry or concerned. My bf gets to the door, greets me with a kiss (even though he just seen me minutes before) and hugs my waist as he hands me the bag of Pepsi and snacks he bought for me. Then he sends me inside and closes the door behind me. Don’t know what was going on on the other end of that door but I know my bf came in after a few seconds. Said for me to not worry about it. I had forgotten about it until hearing that story.
You men can really make a girl feel safe and protected❤😊
Moral of the story (stories):
Stay calm and collected
I would be crying internally if I ever got presented with one of these situations, and would be crying out loud for the next day for sure though
So yeah, stay calm and collected, save the tears for later
Can confirm that I didn't lose my shit on someone once when I was 18, because they said they were sorry about what had happened *before* I lost it... saved us both from at least a beating being delivered on someone. No clue who would have turned out worse.
Anger is bad... and honest apologies make a difference sometimes.
Not "murder" level, but...
One time I was coming back from a hot spring and hitched a ride from a guy. It was a 12k road to the highway and we used his snowmobile to get to his truck. Once we got into his truck we were driving down the highway and he suddenly pulled off onto this side road and he said "I'm gonna kill you" (when I am threatened I changed from 0 to 100 in a second and get psychotic) I just look at him with a smile and nod my head and say "ok" enthusiastically. His additude changed really quick and he seemed to get nervous and said really quietly "nvm it's no fun without a struggle" I guess he mistook my calm demeanor as being suicidal. We drove down this dirt road and he drove slowly along this super muddy beach on a lake with tons of lumpy rocks sticking out. Looks like a place no one would want to go for any reason. After that he turned around and dropped me off in town. This was nakusp bc.
Lol I would have start laughing😂 That was badass bro, damn
horrible but well played! I hope you alerted others to him
My friends dad used to work at a bar in Minneapolis, MN way wayyy back in the day. I believe he had been leaving his job as bartender that night and when walking outside he got stabbed by a guy in the stomach. Well, long story short he said f it and stabbed him back. I’m still in shock hearing that he had the strength to do so.
Story 19 is pretty much the same as what I used to do. There was this guy nodding on a bus stop seat, clearly nearly OD'ing, pretty much non-responsive and 2 seconds away from falling head first onto the concrete. This one-eyes, big tough Māori guy with a full face moko (who was clearly homeless, and one of the m3thheads/glue huffers that hung around that area in town day and night, having stolen a rideshare bike for his own that he pretty much lived on) got out a knife and started threatening the guy for "sitting in his seat".
I diffused the situation by helping the guy move, and somehow I was able to both call an ambulance (I'm opiate dependent and on methadone myself but we don't have aerosolized Narcan available in my country and I wasn't about to give him my own emergency stuff as the hospital was barely 5 min away and the guy was still breathing), shift this guy off the "claimed" seat, and keep him from falling over off the bus stop seat.
Not sure what else to do as it was a random tuesday night and few people were around. I shifted over and started chatting with the terrifying Māori guy who switched his frown into an engaging, sparse tooth smile. He was still talking nonsense but I tried to keep him calm until the ambulance came and took over the situation.
My dad and his older brother was almost mugged in when they were in their late teens. My dad, a 6,4" buff nerd insulted them and called them "utterly pathetic" and told them how sad they were that this was the peak of their ability to try and locate money, and that they were failing even at that. They ended up leaving without taking anything from my dad and uncle.
It's even more impressive and brave when you learn they had a knife to my dad's throat, and he has a lot of PTSD from being threatened by a neighbourhood bully who smothered him whilst holding a knife to his neck hard enough he still has a scar there, and this utter piece of sht detailed how he was gonna murder my dad, how they were under a house so no one would hear them, and then once he killed my dad he'd kill and assult his mother and sisters....this happened when he was about 6 and the bully was 12/13. He still has nightmares sometimes, even in his late 50's
Holy hell… that bully is messed up…
Hopefully your dad is okay now…
Did he ever get revenge on that bully
Only the last story was particularly useful. The approach I’ve found useful thus far has been to shift into a game mindset where we’re just playing a game, a zero sum game, so winning is losing for the other. Not just I’m trying not to lose so I get defensive. But, I’m trying to win and make them lose in order to do so. This distinction might not seem that different, but it’s pretty crucial for staying calm and taking actions beyond just obliviously trying to protect myself.
An example was when a guy who walked me and a housemate home from a party, whom I hadn’t even interacted with, followed me inside to my bedroom, shut the door and stood in front of it. I did initially ask him to leave or at least move so I could leave, but he told me that he wasn’t leaving until I had sex with him. So, he defined what was winning the game for him. So, winning the game for me was getting this guy out without sex. I considered kneeing him in the groin then and there, but even if he fell to the ground, he’d still have been in the way of the door and now he’d be angry with me. I’d overheard him mention having drugs in his pocket on the walk home, so I played along and told him only after we took the drugs. He obliged. So, the night was spent encouraging him to take as much drugs as possible, with the strategy being that he got so high that he became unconscious or fell asleep, then I’d make my exit to seek help. I’d considering running for the door once I’d persuaded him away from it, but I wasn’t convinced that he wouldn’t just catch me and the whole strategy would be ruined if I failed. I’d only get away with it once. So, I bided my time, I hung out with him, took as little drugs as possible myself to make it believable, and even kissed the guy every now and again before encouraging him to take more drugs to redirect him. It had to be believable that he was going to win if only he exercised some patience. And eventually, he passed out. Whoops. At that point I sneaked out of my room and told my housemate what was going on and that I needed him to get this guy out. The guy was removed and that was the end of it. I’d won the game.
Not an example of persuading him not to murder me, but I think you can tell what I manipulated him out of. Also, the absolute irony of a couple of guys walking us home for the sake of safety and it going the direction it did is not lost on me. If there’s another thing to take from this, it’s be careful who is supposedly there to protect you. Whilst he technically was a stranger to me, his friend had been getting cosy with my housemate all night and offered to walk us home. They weren’t strangers. As far as I know, they said their goodbyes to one another and he left, but it easily could’ve been a team effort and she could’ve been going through a similar ordeal behind another door. We probably would’ve been safer just walking home alone and taking a risk on the theoretical bush rapists 🙃
Yeah, these stories are impressive, but if you get mugged or held at gunpoint, _please_ do not try and talk your way out of the situation. It’s not worth the risk of keeping your possessions if there’s no telling whether they can be reasoned with.
story 12
the fact that he said he was searching for CP made my jaw drop, had to replay a couple times. i cant believe how he just spat that out, it really made my stomach churn. im glad he eventually got arrested., the whole story was a fucked up mess
(story 12 starts at 8:57 :] )
Same, it's pretty sick that people would willingly want to watch that. And the fact that he said it like it was nothing is just nasty, I'm in shock that people like him exist to do such things:((
The idea of some dude violently breaking into people's homes in search of CP is so comically absurd to me lmao
That also clearly isn't what happened, the intruder, in a delusional state, had convinced himself those guys owned CP and were deplorable human beings, as such the intruder was attempting to get "justice" by murdering them after finding the evidence.
i didnt even got that, I thought he said the name of a weapon 😧
Oh I just got that. The first time I heard that, I thought he meant like... he'd heard on the street that OP had CP and was trying to act as a vigilante and find the evidence so he could burn it and then take them out and kill them for it.
But the fact that he just wanted to see it for his own sick satisfaction and then kill them later over it is unhinged
Already bad situation, bed ridden, slum studio apartment... Hubby at work ( he'd been working 60 hrs weeks, then coming home and taking care of me... So barely getting any sleep when this happened) door left unlocked and a guy comes in either on stimulants or just paranoid. Starts waving his backpack, with his hand inside, saying he has a gun. I just looked at him with what were probably dead eyes, pointed around the room. And said ... " Does it look like I care if I live or not?"
Long story short he ended up calming down, talking with me , and made us scrambled eggs 😅 before he finally left. ...
Dud he actually have a gun? IDK and i don't want to
Subverted his expectations and pricked his conscience. Nice. I’ve also had an intruder come in as disabled person mostly housebound and often bedbound. Ive had real life deadly encounters too but I remember when a guy started relentlessly trolling and sending me rape/death threats online. I asked him to get on Skype and talk to me. Like just talk. No games. He ended up breaking down and apologising when he actually thought about what he did and for no reason and I reminded him I’m just another person just like him. Sometimes it’s just about making that connection and having little left to lose can help with that..
@@SobrietyandSolace i hope he's doing ok and i'm glad he said sorry to you you'd make an excellent therapist tbh
@@Angrycat-pg5iv I hope so too. I had to show him I wasn’t a threat and his aggression toward me was totally unnecessary. I respect the fact he was able to hold his hands up and say he didn’t need to be acting like that and it was just much easier to be nice and be friends. Makes me wonder about what happened with a lot of past online interactions.
“Talked your way out of being killed”
Frisk: hell yeah -_-
Amazing comment
I was put at knife point by the 12 year old foster girl we have in our house. She got mad at me because I told her I was going to tell my uncle about something she did. So she put me at knife point and made me sit in the chair. I was in that chair for about 30 minutes, in which during that time she cut me on the hand, and called some guy she knew to tell him she loved him and looked at e with an evil smile. I asked her if I could get up to wipe the blood off my hand and she said no. Thank God I’ve worked in crisis care, because I was seconds away from being murdered, and if I had said the wrong thing or made her freak out, that would have been it. I just kept calm, made her laugh, kept the situation light. That was nuts.
That's crazy.... Did she ever get introuble?
Did anything else happen?
@@myeggyweggy No…my uncle didn’t do anything. He doesn’t want cops to come to the house. It’s a huge red flag, I know. We all think he’s grooming her.
@@M3li_-3 No, she’s been fine since then. She tells me she loves me but I keep my guard up. The whole house situation is fucked up.
jesus christ i know its not your problem but are you able to do anything about it….?
Only time I’ve felt in danger from someone like this is when I had to spend a night out on the streets in Barcelona while travelling. I picked a spot by the beach and started getting harassed by this drunk homeless dude. Pretty lightly, at first he would just walk over and stare menacingly. Came over a few more times shouting, no words just shouts.
While I just played it as unbothered as possible. Spoke a little Spanish to seem less lost or touristy. Offered him a cigarette as I calmly pulled on out for myself, made it clear I had my eye on him and wasn’t sleeping. He eventually left me alone and I was certain he was way too drunk to do anything plus I had a defensible position atop these steps and a Skatebaord to weaponise. Was a weird night.
The last one is so relatable. I always just called it street smarts. Didn’t realise it was a thing in sociology, but makes sense lol
The common theme Im getting from all this is to confuse the attacker then make your move lol
NO THE UNCLE SHOULD GO TO JAIL LIKE EVERYONE WHO PUTS PEOPLE IN HARM’S WAY! If you don’t want to put your gun in a safe and keep in unloaded you should be legally barred from having kids and this shouldn’t be controversial!
mmm.... what if he hides it in something other than a safe...
Imagine getting mugged in your own home and your response is "aight bro, you just lost your eardrum privileges"
nah, the whistling guy is just crazy
Me and a 2 other guys tried to scam a dude out of his money, this the 2 guys I was with said some crap about his grandma and her being a bitch in Spanish, "biznatch" or whatever, which didnt turn out well as we found out he was a Well Known Meth Dealer, so he forcefully and with threats of murder, kidnapped us. The 3 of us got dragged out in the middle of New Mexico Desert with gags over our mouths to prevent us from yelling. There were a couple guys that were his muscle men so the main guy wont have to do much work, now the guy asked if we had any last words before he murdered us in cold blood. Now I'm a lawyer, I got up and started to play into his ego and how he could be a judge, lay out the rules properly to us and give us a punishment fitting for our crimes of doing a mistake of crossing him. I also promised that we will never EVER do stupid shit to him or his grandma again, one of the dudes who was there came up and asked if I was serious which I gave him my word on it. Both me and him agreed and played into the Meth dudes ego to get him to calm down, which worked. The dude asked what punishment would be fitting for us and I said its best to break one leg each on the two other dudes but he wanted both and so I told him that one is enough and that they will definitely learn their lesson for good and wont scam others ever again. This worked and so I was forced to watch as he broke the 2 dudes leg each as compensation. I talked down a Meth dude from murder to 6 months probabtion, I am the best lawyer ever.
When I was in this situation I did my best not to panic and tried to out logic them instead. I simply asked " How are you going to explain my disappearance? I dont see any tarps on the floor so theyll find my dna in the floor boards. " it stunned them long enough for me to escape.
Wow!!! You are awesome! 😮 That situation was serious!!!
Bullshit, that did not happen
Top 10 things that never happened
Hmmm, I wonder when this didn’t happen? Was it at lie o’clock?
"everyone started screaming but i didnt flinch"
yeah... right
Redditor try not to lie challenge (impossible)
Have you ever heard of freezing in fear
@@teamdarkfan317 yo yeah i have, in fact i've frozen in fear several times
I have it too, it's just the freeze reaction.
@@confirmed-air-fryer He's likely not lying, it's basically the freeze reaction towards fear. Like a deer looking at headlights.
The people after talking their way out of getting murdered: *+3 Charisma*
The fact that most of these stories involve guns is very telling.
And notice how in every other country it involves knives
It is saying that people feel safer to pull guns that knifes on people, besides what you were implying
I mean criminals can get guns if they need to get guns
I'm from a country where guns are pretty much illegal. We do have violent crimes and murders all the time, they just use knifes ore whatever. Gunregulation doesn't work.
@@leom6624it does where i come from
so many stories are just "if you kill me, the consequences would be so much worst than whatever reward you get isn't worth it
Don’t throw your life away. Go see your family. Your kids. Be in their lives.
The last one is incredibly helpful.
The last one is so hilariously sociopathic in probably the best way possible
The last one seems interesting try it with a drunk first tho
Drunks are even easier usually because they kind of just sway with their emotions.
Omg story 13 happened with my parents when my mom was pregnant with my brother. She ran out in front of my dad and waved her arms saying her babies need a father. The robbers let them go
10:00 😶What? CP? What? Strange thing to rob of people in a home evasion.
The guy probably was having a mental crisis at the time, at least from what I can tell
Story 19 (17:32) is probably one of the best advice I've ever heard... So simple but makes so much sense.
once had someone aim a gun at me. I just smiled at him and hit him right in the psychology/therapy major.
"I'm so sorry that you feel like it had to come to this. no matter what, there are always people who will help you. Prison is somewhere where there aren't many of those people." then i hugged him and he just started bawling
Omg I hope you're okay... But what happened after? If you don't mind me asking
@@myeggyweggy i sort of awkwardly comforted him and recommended some free online therapy councelling sites before he walked off and i nearly cried from the stress relief
beautiful - and brave of you.
It reminds me of the footage where the judge recognizes the convict of the day from grade school. Ends well, by the way.
Story 9 is crazy. The dad rightfully had no chill 😂
Dude the dad in that story is totally unhinged, but he's clearly using it for good. To get mugged and instantly go into mutual destruction, lets both go out in a blaze of glory mindset is completely cracked
there's actually a video of a man doing exactly that
14:34 story 14’s body went into fight or flight & chose fight & out gangstered the guy wanting to harm him. Savage😂😂
Love the first story, can turn that into a clickbait headline: I survived, the story of how I used oreos to save my life.
7:40 that is the most chad dad I’ve ever heard about. So chill with it too.
11:08 wait, the senna is on the helmet? What helmet is it? And what exactly is a senna?
That last guy sounds like a freaking genius. I'm gonna remember everything he said.
my mom was gonna get robbed when crossing the boarder a rlly long time ago. 1999 or so. the guy had a gun to my mom's head and told her to give him everything. she calmed down, gave him 20$ and said that was all she had. he was satisfied and left
Me taking notes just in case
“Killing me won’t bring your dad back”
It is so refreshing to watch these kind of videos and hear these kind of stories read by a real person and not an AI😭
Story 1: It's insane that a country chooses to rely on everyone's common sense on such a sensitive issue. In Germany, having a gun safe installed and actually using it are prerequisites for even getting a gun permit.
German here. This happened not to me, but my teacher. When she was in her 20s a guy she met at a Disco wanted to drive her home, but when she noticed that he drove her away from the city and into the nearby forest, she started to just annoy him with talks about pilitics until he could not stand it anymore and let her go.
My mom was visiting French while expecting my older brother. There was a guy that suckered her hitting the gut, but she said she was pregnant and that had him to stop and leave. That was so close for the cut before being so deep they couldn't have made it.
I told him " do it you won't "
i cried and pretended not to speak english. and here i am, alive.
When I was like 12 me and my brother went to Taco bell pretty late the drive threw was closed so he went inside while I sat in his truck waiting, we had the windows down because the AC was broken and it's was a nice night that part of town was a bit sketchy and this dude comes out of nowhere and walk past muttering something I was just chilling on my phone and he walked around the corner so I call my brother and he says to come inside so I opened the door but my brother started walking out out the Taco bell as I opened my door I see the dude speed walk out around the corner towards the truck I immediately close the door and my brother comes and gets in but the dude stood behind the truck for a second and just started walking away he went inside but I don't ever think I have ever been so scared for my life
if someone was about to murder me i'd say "if you strike me down i'll rise more powerful than you can possibly imagine"
story 3 was actually really wholesome and kinda funny
I wonder how many of these stories are being told by men vs. women. I’m sure a killer’s reaction to tactics from either would be different.
One time a crackhead stopped me asking for money, all I had was a 50 that I really needed to get back home and to get something to eat so when I said I couldn't give him anything he got really mad and started threatening me with a knife, somehow I managed to convince him to walk with me to a store nearby so I could change the bill and give him 10. Probably was way more than what he expected initially so he accepted. Worst two street walk of my life but I managed to keep it... And 40 bucks lmao
I was around 16 and baked when we walked into a train just chatting with friends. A homeless person on the other side of the train somehow got the paranoid idea I was talking about him and straight up walked to me, looked me in the eyes and said: "why are you talking about me" while insisting on grabbing something out of his pocket that he wanted to show me.
I don't know exactly how but I talked with him for over 10 minutes straight calmly just to not have him grab what he said was "just a pen" he wanted to show me. I'm to this day pretty fucking sure he wanted to stab me in some kind of paranoid psychosis.
I’ve almost died plenty of times but never been almost murdered. One of them would’ve technically been manslaughter (killing someone by accident) if I did die, it was possible but not super likely in this case. I was at school and we were playing outside in snow (my class and the class one year older than us, small school). My school called it a snow recess. Anyways my friend started chasing me but I didn’t have my inhaler, again not sure if I would’ve died but he didn’t know I had asthma and I had to explain that to him while I was out of breathe and hyperventilating. I’ve luckily never had an asthma attack but I might’ve if I didn’t fall on the ground and start hyperventilating. Not mad at my friend, it was still fun just had a bad ending.
I told mine that I had to step outside because my cousin was picking something up from me. But I made him think I was coming back by saying something like “ xyz is my favorite drink will you pour me a cup?” He didn’t realize I wasn’t coming back until he saw that I had my bag with me, but by that time I was out the door. He started following me and at one point was literally running behind me but he ran into someone he knew who stopped him to ask why he was running and if he needed help which gave me just enough time to dive in my car lock the door and pull off
"Thomas dont hurt my cousin he's challenged!!"
you forgot the "bro" part, makes it even better
When I was like 2, apparently, I waved a loaded handgun at my mom, obviously having no idea what a gun even was. She said she just smiled and asked me to hand it over, and I did. Crazy to think what could have happened. 😅
Last one = GENIUS!!!
I looked it up: The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life - Ervin Goffman
Speech 100 points.
I remember family guy when stewie and brian sneaked in carters pharma company and this convo happened
"Hey bud, I just want to read my newspaper here"
"What? Do u know who I am? Ure fired for talking to me like that"
"Well i dont work here"
"Then I will have u killed"
"I want to Die"
I panicked and did everything he told me to, including singing a song for him. In the end, he said I was too nice for him to kill and he let me go. The entire story is a little difficult to share.
dear god! My compliments to you
My dad got pulled over by a couple guys on the street carrying knives, they told him to give them his wallet or they would cut his throat open. He gave them the wallet. Inside it were just expired credit cards lmao
Story 12 is insane omg
I was 16, the people I used to considered my brothers, they beat me unconscious at least a good 5 of them and when I came to I remember a person telling me that I deserved to die and he doesn’t know why they are letting me live and all I knew at that moment was that I needed to get away and leave. I did, later I found out that some of the people I knew there didn’t even hit me and were just watching and actually stopped them from continuing but they wanted to continue. Mind you this was something I was involved in and I wanted to walk away. Funny I always thought I would come close to dying from an enemy turns out it was my own people.
I had a customer threaten to stab me when I was cashier at McDonalds because I was "Withholding menu items from him" We were a small location and didn't carry anything but the basic menu.
I was 16 and scared shitless, he was a big dude and I was just a teen, I told him the honest truth, that we barely had any space for the regular items much less the special ones, but there was another one down the road that did have what he was looking for. He told me I was lying and brought up the knife, thankfully my manager, who appeared from no where and saved me. Everyone loved my manager, he was a great dude, so he quickly disarmed the situation and i retreated to the back for a while as he calmed the dude down. I came back to the dude patting my manager on his back, calling him 'my friend'.
Really weird experience.
What did he do to calm down the guy...

story 12 is a whole movie 😭 wow
Told them they looked familiar and mentioned I think I know your brother ended up having a whole convo I was bullshitting through he believed me and sat next to me to talk no lie he vaguely did look like someone I used to know then we shook hands and went our own ways
Second guy has a super power
What we have learnt: Be nice to kids, be calm with adults, unless they’re crazy
I almost got murdered by a drug dealer over money so I said id get them their money back and that I had it in my apartment then when they dropped me off at my fake apartment I walked all the way too the other side of the complex and went home and had the police come scare them away.
Story 1: America
R-iight?
Jokes like these are so unfunny
@@benevoIencee It's not a fucking joke, bozo. We are the baddies.
Story 2 3 4 5 6 7 …14 : America
One time, an American PoW was about to be executed by a Japanese officer when he said, “If you kill me, my spirit will haunt you forever”. The officer did not kill him as he was superstitious.
“What did you say to convince them otherwise”
*whistles super loudly in his ear*
This isn't about being murdered, but like the last Story those people that are out to fight, measure d, or whatever, and granted, I am a pretty big and tall guy, so I probably have it easier, but what worked for me after learning it through A LOT of this from fights in my teen years when drinking, is that by now I just straight up answer their cofrontation, but tell them, depending on how I read them in the moment, to piss off (usually in a semi-friendly way) idk what it is, but it works, maybe it's because I acknowledge that they're out to fight but at the same time tell them to piss off, which might make a lot of half-strong guys think there might be a good reason for it lol.
after all most of them wanna prove something, so if you don't show weakness or direct anger to them, they probably think that this one isn't the fight they should pick, but might also just be luck and physical apperance as stated above, not recommending it if you're incapable of fighting should it come to it.
story 13:cant remember any details besides it was in Afria. This couple, late 20s-mid 30s went on a humanitarian aid trip. they were told that if they were to be kdnapped, it would be by either group A or group B. if group A kidnapped you, you were as good as ead. if it was group B say you are parents because group B would not kill mothers. Well, ythey were kidnapped by group b. theysaid they had a 9 year old named Mac Mac was their 9 year old dog.
they ere saved. I wonder if same group
Jesus Christ story 12 was insane
Tbh story 9 is crazy
