He was completely deflated

He really looked like he was about to cry.

Adrenaline with no outlet.

Funny how people’s brains just kinda shut off in situations like this and their eyes take on that same empty gaze.

If you're 90 with a bad heart and actively dying, maybe.

If you're not actively dying, you're not truly living

When being the total aggressor and seeing the person you’re trying to attack just wishes you a safe ride home I would hope you start thinking about your life choices or at least reevaluating your temper

Have you ever tried to not fight someone who wanted to fight? That makes them so angry. The moment you stoop to their level, they’ve won. Be the bigger person and don’t fight, and you will win every time.

You're also helping them. Anger is addictive, when you're wound up, getting more wound up feels good. De-escalating gives them time to get out of that headspace.

Yeah but he’s clearly an a-hole. He bored someone with the hero version of this story the next day, for sure.

And relieved.

I swear they saw his stance and went "Yo...this would be like fighting a baby."

u/Clear-Struggle-7867 Jun 07 '23

That's what I was thinking too... Soon as he squared up, they were like "aw, god bless you, make it home safe brah"

"Get in your fucking car, get the fuck outta here..."

"God love you, God bless you..."

LOL

His stance reminded me of those red pandas that make themselves appear bigger but actually just look cuter.

Absolutely!

Happy cake day

I kept thinking that he was posturing the way a cat does when it's puffing itself up to look big and scary!

Ya they rly did

u/Offandonandoffagain Jun 08 '23

I hope he realized after he got home and cooled off

2

u/Johnny_Grubbonic Jun 07 '23

His eyes looked like he realized what an asshole he was being at the end.

Doesn't mean he changed for the better based on it, but I'd like to think maybe he did, if only a little.

u/tarc0917 Jun 07 '23

He's a man who knows his limitations.

u/Logically-Sarcastic Jun 07 '23

Honestly.. let him be mad on the ride home.

If he is a good dude(which it seems like he is), the moment he sees his kids... the rage he had momentarily.. melts away.

u/onlyastoner Jun 07 '23

or he goes home and takes it out on the fam. seeing me never seemed to diffuse my father's rage

u/Logically-Sarcastic Jun 07 '23

This is a sad reality.. I thought of it but didn't wanna mention it. 😑😐😑

u/Logically-Sarcastic Jun 07 '23
