You are forgetting the ones about excessive humidity and marble-dropping sounds.

Indeed. It seems that this individual is facing a whole heap of misfortunes. Hopefully one day he/she can sit down to enjoy a quiet, peaceful meal uninterrupted by any sounds except those of Nature and with a perfect, livable level of humidity to boot.

according to welder you could never be a construction worker if you think that way.

I would have then gone to a lawyer asap to find out what my legal options were.
WEL-L-L-L-L-L. . . . . . .

That would be THE RIGHT thing to do. But I have to admit, that what I really meant is that I would find a way to make them miserable later. I know how my "slow-to-enrage-but-I-don't-recommend-provoking-it- temper" works.

Im not saying theyre the same. What im saying is you don't know who's carrying guns/knives on them so its best not to escalate the situation.

LOL, Oh God, is that who this happened to? LOL, hey kid, if I were you, I'd be in when the 'street lights' come on. Leave the 'night life' for the MEN! LOL You can't 'handle' yourself in a Chinese restaurant in Mannhattan, and you want to hang out in the seedy sections of Asian countries? Next, you'll be telling us, how some 90 pound asian prostitute 'rolled' you!

Miles, I don't expect WOMEN to think or act like a MEN. But maybe, YOU do. Maybe you can relate and have the mindset of a WOMAN. Some men are MORE feminane than others. Nothing to be ashamed of (I guess). You obviously are a passive man. No need to try and make men who ain't, feel like there's something wrong with being aggressive.

That could be said about EVERY situation that somebody gets into. If I was that scared, I'd never leave the apt.

Somehow I get this feeling that you are a dimunitive underweight man dressed in an outdated blue denim jacket and corduroy jeans with a 1950's necktie and a polka dot parasol to go. You probably work as a bookkeeper in the attic of an Asian real estate office in Flushing.

Sometimes when you are bored you take a break from your debits and credits and log on showing us what a brave machismo man you are. In your fantasy world, you become the Terminator character or maybe Mel Gibson or John Wayne. Your bravado is limitless. You shoot first and ask questions later when the floor is already littered with victims of your blazing fists and guns.

Then you saddle up and head on back to the office struggling down the stairs with a pair of heavy ledgers to tell yous boss that you've just balanced his checkbook

Good to be an online hero, isn't it? Isn't the internet wonderful where one can let go and be all that they wanted to be in life but could never achieve?
