Someone tried to mug me today.

But I'm too poor to mug - the jerkoff didn't even want my phone, it's that shitty. So he kind of just stood there, watching me empty my pockets, and I think the most expensive thing I had were two cigarettes and a pack of gum.

I felt kind of bad for him.

	Don't feel bad for the asshole. You should have kicked his ass. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	But his face was so pitiful and confused. Really made my day though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not gonna lie, that's a little sad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which part? The one where I'm broke or the one where I'm so broke not even a mugger can beat me up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ronmars 2015-01-20 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Kind of both. Though I'm not really one to talk about being broke. However, I was referring to almost being mugged making your day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm kind of easily amused, yeah, it is a little sad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did you offer him a piece of gum for his effort? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	empathetically 2015-01-20 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	I tried, but I think he's got something against fruity bubblegum? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_badwolf_ 2015-01-20 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	That's too bad, best kind there is in the gum department. At least he didn't get violent when he found out you didn't have anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hey, I did everything he told me to do. Searched myself in front of him, let him check my pockets himself to make him realize how legitimately serious I was about being broke. I can't be afraid of losing something I don't have, and it's not like I threatened him.

I guess it was a mutual understanding. A weird one, but he gladly fucked off elsewhere pretty confused himself.

	It's surprising how people can lose their shit if they don't get what they want, especially with the recent crime wave. On to a new target. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe he was desperate for something minty fresh? Still. Best mugging story ever. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I know this level of poorness well. I legit identify with it, bro. Are you new on this network? Welcome to the nuthouse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not too bad. I mean, I still shower on the reg, so I'm pretty lucky. New, yeah, but I figured the awkward introduction of 'Hey, I'm Jack,' would be lame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Props to you. Showering on the regular is a luxury most take for granted.

Yeah, most of the intros are like, "Hey, why are you all so batshit, I think I might delete my account omg who wants coffee?" so this one was good. A+

I'm Neal, by the way. I don't cook much but sometimes I do make awesome chili that I can share to feed poor bros if you're ever interested.

	This. This makes me want to carry nothing on me. Not that I keep a whole lot to carry... but I do like my smartphone. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He would have taken your phone then, probably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetoo 2015-01-20 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Probably. I'm not really expecting to get mugged, though. I carry around a sword or a bow and arrows. I imagine it turns off would-be muggers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just how old is your phone? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	empathetically 2015-01-20 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I got it not too long ago, but it's one of those prepaid things you get at Walmart or something. Surprisingly enough, it can connect to WiFi? I feel so connected to the internet culture now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't know whether to laugh or to feel bad for you. What a lesson for that jerk though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	empathetically 2015-01-22 04:01 am UTC (link)
	You can laugh, because I did. No need to feel bad though. This wasn't mean to be a post of 'boo, woe is me.' I'm actually a very content guy. (Reply to this) (Parent)
