Re: Last Night: Hell

Wait, you're black and you don't carry a gun?

Nope, I do not own a gun. My boss does, though. So, I'm pretty much an idiot for carrying around any kind of protection, right?

Carry your boss around.

Pretty much. Especially being a delivery driver. I'm not saying you should be strapped, but even I, a kid from the subburbs, carry around a small pocket knife in my car. Somebody reaches in and you stab them in the arm.

Of course I think you're failing to see the silver lining in all of this. Think of what it's bound to do for your rap career. You got hit in the head with a stick nine times and survived. Time to get yourself a bicycle helmet.

Re: Last Night: Hell

should have reached into your pocket with the money and pulle dit out ripped it into 3 even peices and said " there ya go, 390 for you to split three ways BEYOTCHHHHH!!!" they would have been so confused you could have boosted outta there with not a cut nor bruise.

An incident such as this wouldn't really help my rap career at all. In fact...I think people would laugh at me. Also, despite my being a fan of 50 Cent when I first came here in '04, I'm quickly fading away from his constant childishness and conceit.

Re: Last Night: Hell

I have to say this because it hasn't been said yet. The whole concept of somebody giving you money for a pizza and then mugging you to get it back is absolutely hilarious.

These kids deserve a medal.

Seriously though, don't worry, they'll die or something eventually. And then nobody will be left to wield the mightly smackin' stick.

Who mugs somebody with a stick?

Man.

Re: Last Night: Hell

a young, Black teenager asked me if I was delivering the food I was carrying to his room, and I said I wasn't. The transferring of the food to the customer in exchange for the monetary payment went reasonably fast.

The guys that mugged him were not the ones that ordered the pizza.

oh, nuts.

Re: Last Night: Hell

they should of mugged him before he brought the pizza over so they would atleast get free pizza. or mug him while we was delivering it so they could do a double rob.

Re: Last Night: Hell

I'm not quite understanding how your "lack of fighting experience" proved to be an advantage--or how you made it out of there at all--but I'm very, very glad you did make it out without being hurt too badly, B.

Thanks for sharing the story with us; definitely interesting.

Definitely true that your life is worth more than the $130 in your pocket,--even if that $130 is a lot more. Pride is worth more than the $130 too so I definitely see where you're coming from. Personally I would have tried everything to escape without fighting and without giving up the money. I guess if that wasn't possible, I'd surrender the money, hope that would be enough to leave unscathed, and deal with the emotional aftermath later.

Delivery peoples' jobs can be dangerous at times--any situations can be dangerous if you might end up dealing with people who would lay down all their honor to make a quick buck, especially if the best way to accomplish that is violence.

(For that matter, there have also been times where delivery people themselves have mugged customers; that's a little off the point and it's certainly the exception rather than the rule, but it proves that you always need to be a little on your guard...)

Re: Last Night: Hell

When I delivered for Pizza Hut (see my "horror" story elsewhere on these forums), there were 2 streets in my delivery area that apparently are so bad that we did not accept orders from after dark.

And I live near both of those streets now...

Dress up in full body armor and storm the streets. Make one of those pizza cannons the ninja turtles always made. Hell if wierd inbred freaks of nature can do it, why not humans!

Sock full of quarters. Deadliest weapon ever. Make sure the quarters are in rolls though.

Even a roll of quarters clenched in your fist would be a decent makeshift weapon. Plus it's discreet.
