So i take a walk during lunch time to pickup some food. Even w/ the pandemic, I need some exercise. I wear a mask always.

So went to pick up some Chinese food and had to wait in line which went outside the place and I was the only one waiting outside in line.

some fucking homeless bum came up to me and started to harass me. He's like why you outside, do you need help, let me talk w/ the manager to get you in. I tried not to talk or make eye contact but he came right up to my face, NO MASK, and started yelling how i did not respect him or shit i couldn't half make out.

He had this fucking pen and touched my shoulder with it. I yelled 'hey you just assaulted me fucker' which in retrospect was probably not a good idea to say. he backed off and sat on the concrete.

I hope the guy didnt give me covid thru his pen or face. i threw out the mask when I got back.

But was thinking what is the appropriate response in these situations? it caught me off guard but i shouldn't have been because there are so many of these homeless here in my son's neighborhood.

Need some advice what to do next time? and it may help others on this forum as well.

San Francisco?

yup bob of course. they literally take shit's on the sidewalk here and this shit city does nothing about it.

when i first came out to live w/ my son, i saw it all over the place and mentioned to my son a lot of ppl don't clean up after their dogs. he's like that's not from a dog.


edit : oh i guess these fuckers started to do shit but so many taking shits they can't keep up

Hawaii, I'm calling BS on this story

stop what mofo? need advice from people how to act next time. make one wrong move and you're either dead or cancelled.



nope - why would i make something like this up if it didnt happen.

So, where's the new pen?

_________________

does it write upside down ?

it wasn't like a bic pen. but one of those big office pens and was gold colored. he probably stole it from someone. and it was the cap part which is big and fat. so it wasn't like a poke with the point end of a small pen.

i took of the jacket i was wearing where he touched me with it and put it to wash.

damn that's like the most accurate reporting i've seen in a long time. that is exactly like the neighborhood here.

Hawaii can afford to give away a pen with all his money. Believe me. He gives a check for 19.45. He didn't have a Coke. Ho, ho, ho!

Tell your son to move to the good old midwest so dad doesn't have to fear for his life.

nobody is giving advice i see. where's tommy when you need him.

What advice? There are two things you can do. Grab take out and risk Covid and certain death every time you leave the house, or don't get Chinese food anymore. Seems pretty simple.

you know how much it costs with all those fees and charges for doordash when I can walk 2/3 blocks away and pickup my food? Im supposed to be afraid of the world?

it's going to happen. even after the pandemic. have to be prepared.

Don't be a pussy. There's your advice.

im not going to run and hide and change my life. Covid already did that. if this happens again what is the proper steps to take? do i talk to the guy in a certain way to calm him down? are there steps or guides when dealing in a situation like this? that's what i'm asking.

Piss on him to establish dominance.
