Random Poll of the Day! (103)

Postby Kor » September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm

As much as I would like to say that first, I would bluff and make it seem like I take out my wallet in order to let his guard off, and then I would attack him with a kick or something, I really don't have a clue how I will react in that situation.
I suppose I would run away.....

I give him all my money, cause I don't really have any, anyway. Afterwards, I'll run away, screaming for help. About an hour later I'll think "Damn, I totally should have tried to fight him."

I voted to give him the money, because the joke's on him! It's counterfeit, because I had just come from the World Monopoly Championships.

Take the weapon, I must already have my hand on it since I know it's cold.

I'd probably try to fight him because the idea of mugging pisses me off. Would I win? Highly improbable. But who knows!

The only time someone ever tried to mug me (really, it couldn't even be called mugging but that's the closest word I've got), it was without a weapon in a crowded mall. I was waiting for some friends and he gets up close, telling me to not make a scene/stay quiet and to give him my money, but unfortunately for him I couldn't understand him so I was like "What? Huh? Can you speak up? I can't understand you, sorry!" and he eventually went away. I didn't realize what was going on until he left out of frustration. :V

Yeah, I'm confused about the "cold" part  :V

Anyway, it depends on the situation, so.

I'd probably just give him the money, though it depends on the weapon. And whether or not I thought I could get a good kick into his nadgers first.

I don't carry cash on me, so good for him. He can try to use my credit card to try and buy something I guess. It would be a nuisance, but I'd rather not risk fighting and potentially get the shit beaten out of me or running, unless he looks quite slow.

'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

I would give him my wallet, but that won't do him any good. I rarely carry money with me and if I do it is small sums. And my even if he did magically figure out my debit card number it wouldn't do him much good since that is empty most of the time as well. I guess he can have fun with my bus/train card but most likely that will be empty as well. To mug me would be a great waste of time and as we all know, time is money.

"A cold weapon is any weapon that does not involve fire or explosions (such as the act of combustion) as a result from the use of gun powder or explosive materials. Ranged weapons that do not include gun powder or explosive materials and mêlée weapons are cold weapons. Firearms and explosives (such as grenades, land mines, missiles, bombs, etc.), and other weapons which rely on heat or burning are at the opposite end from cold weapons."

So a knife or something? Depends on the size of knife. A wee penknife wouldn't scare me so much. A machete is a different story.

Cold weapons: knife, sticks, etc.

Hot weapons: firearms, explosives, etc.

I'll probably scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream...
