Nov. 8th, 2005 08:22 pmWhen it's cold and raining and you're walking home having just done your regulation 12hrs in the office of doom, there's nothing better to cheer you up than some little shit trying to impress his mates by shoulder barging you as he walks past.
Now, I've got the reaction times of a lethargic sloth but this kid signposted his vicious intension so early that I was able to debate with myself the moral and karmic implications of my response.
Normally I'd just step out of his way but I've been Mr.Grumpy lately so I waited for him to make contact and then using the height/weight advantage I had, took the little fucker clean off his feet.
Of course, as is always the case, payback's a bitch - and karma got its revenge on me as I had to sit next to Rob on the bus ride home.
