Super User Root beer Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 I'm keep this story short as I can. I met some girl in my psychology class and she asked me go hang out with her at Dollywood and Gatlinburg today. While we was on way there some guy kept calling her, it was her younger ex-boyfriend who is 16. She told me that he was a "nut" and blah, blah, blah. Also, said that if he ever saw me he would try to start a fight. I just ignored it, because I mean, come on, it just 16 year old punk wanting be a gangster. So, late in evening we are in Gatlinburg shooting pool having good time, she goes to bathroom and I'm sitting down waiting on her. What do you know? Four kids comes walking up to me. (still trying figured out how they found us unless he really did search every amusement location in Gatlinburg) The kids walked up too me and asked me my name and blah, blah, blah. I told him just leave and I didn't want anything do with him and she told you leave her alone on the phone earlier, etc. I was sitting down because I'm 20 years old and didn't want get in this kid face and make it look like it was me that started it. She comes out bathroom, then the guy kicked me and left. I go outside and he standing, jumping around with no shirt on and one of his posse getting up in my face. They all left with no punch being swung and I told the cops I was 20 and didn't want nothing do with them. The girl kept telling me I was first guy he ever confronted, even though she has talked to 3 other people before. Assuming she telling the truth, and this guy who balls haven't dropped yet and trying be a gangster had to confront me with four of his friends I feel pretty darn special. Did I do the right thing by telling cops to handle it or should I have just punched him out and do what I can against other three guys? I did tell the cops I didn't wanna see that kid again, or I would hit him since he did hit me first and he probably will next time if he ever tries to find me again.
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 haaa nice story. pretty sure you did the right thing. you'd have looked like a jackass punching out 16 year old kids.

Super User Root beer Posted May 11, 2010 Author Super User Posted May 11, 2010 how old is this girl and why was she dating a 16 year old? 17, going onto 18. I met her in my psychology class. Why she dated that kid, I don't know. She transferring to Kennesaw State in fall, so I didn't know anything was going be that serious this summer. I thought we was just hanging as friends. I don't know what the dude's problem is. lol.
Super User skunked_again Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 insert Burley quote here: the only thing worst than that situation is asking for advise about that situation on a fishing forum. thank you, thank you, ill be here all minute. no, but really, someone kicks me in a pool hall, they better pray theres not a pool cue within hands reach, and 16 is old enough to get checked in this case.
1inStripes Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I wouldn't be real worried if the kid just kicked you. That in itself proves he is "trying" to imitate a bad guy. Just a little punk not worth your breath.

I actually just put the cue stick up and I was sitting down ready to leave. I was just waiting on her get out bathroom. I don't know, screw it. I'll talk to her tomorrow and clear some things up. Maybe I should have decked the guy, but screw it. I didn't think he was worth it, yet. I better not see him again.
b.Lee Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 If you like her and want something or thinking about it, I would just take that as a win. Let him do his delinquent thing. It isn't going to get her back. So either ride it out and be the better man, because you don't need a law suit being over 18 hitting a minor. And he probably knows that. I hope she isn't just using you as company.
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 Please don't take this personal but IMHO I think you got played by the girl. Sounds like to me that she called him and told him where yall were at. She then conveniently slipped into the bathroom while her ex (if he really is her ex) confronted you. Why? ATTENTION But then, maybe I'm wrong. :-?

ATTENTION But then, maybe I'm wrong. :-? Quite possibly true. Don't let the kids age fool you, he may be your match or better. In an ambush with his friends a better than average chance you come out second best. I would never call the police in that scenario, adds more fuel to the fire, never know what kid like that is capable of. Move on a forget the girl, sounds like nothing but aggravation, at 20 there are young women all over the place. Without her the situation will just diffuse on it's own.
Super User Redlinerobert Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 Wow. I'm glad I'm not a teenager in this day and age. You did the right thing.
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 Don't all cell phones have caller ID? Why did she bother answering his call in the first place? Cell phones, the bane of man's existence. Useful in emergencies, but other than that, a distraction and annoyance.
preach4bass Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 You got played. The girl called/texted her ex and told him where ya'll were. She did this because she, like most teenage girls, is a drama queen. The only question now is: Are you a one too? If yes, then you'll stay with her and she'll continue to put you in tough Jerry Springer-type situations, until you eventually throw a hissy fit on the guy's head. If you're not a drama queen, you'll simply ditch this girl and just go fishing this Summer, probably without notifying your friends here at BR.
Super User fishfordollars Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 That stuff has ruined many a good man. You should have dropped him in his tracks, steped over him on your way out the door alone. If you did it right the other three punks would let you pass untouched.
Uncle Leo Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I am sorry but you are pretty near an adult. Hang out with more mature people. Being 20 years old and him being a minor at 16 years old if you would have decked him you would be in jail waiting to talk to a judge. Believe me she would have not stayed by your side. It is obvious these are kids being kids looking for a thrill. You exercised yourself in the right manner. I had wished that when I was young I would have done the same. It would have caused me much less grief, KUDOS to you , in this day and age it is very difficult to stay out of harms way, some kids do not play like kids
NewAngler Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 First off, what kind of ------- kicks you in a fight? I understand kicking while the man is down, but come on, a kick?! Unless we're talkin' Jakie Chan round house kick, dude is a punk. Personally, I would have laid him the ef out and then spun the story around as self defense. Then, I would have ditched the chick because you can bet your last Tennessee penny this will happen all summer and pick up an older chick at the pool hall; using your badass display of asskickery as a pick up line. Then, I would have bought a smoothie with two straws and an order of french fries to really schmooze the older women into going home with you. Then, I would suggest you take Burleys advice, "hit it, and quit it." This should be the best summer of you life. Summary: Kid kicks you. You whoop him. You send girl with boy. You pick up WOMAN. Woman likes you because you were flippin sweet and shared your smoothie. You give her the last french fry in Gatlinburg. Ride your moped back home, send your parents to the movies. Bada bing, bada boom.
Super User Root beer Posted May 11, 2010 Author Super User Posted May 11, 2010 haha. I talked to her this morning, and she only answered phone one time during the period in which he kept calling and calling. She did tell him quit calling us, and she told me this morning he "saw" us driving down road or whatever. After she hung up, she did tell me he might be coming find us. I was warned, but I didn't take it seriously. He lives in Sevierville so he pretty much on strip in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg all the time according to her. Even if I had decked him there was 7 people near us shooting pool and if they was watching, clearly they would have saw him kicked me first. If cop had talked those witnesses he probably wouldn't even took me to jail. (why would he if 7 witness says he hit me first?) I'm skeptical about her now, but at same time I find this whole thing amusing. (especially if she telling truth about that I'm only guy he ever confronted.) I thought her and I was hanging out as friends. I copied her notes couple times in psychology and told her I owe her one and I thought I was repaying a favor...

Daniel My Brother Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 When my oldest daughter was about 17 she punched her idiot boyfriend. His nose bled. It wouldn't stop bleeding. He needed medical attention. She got charged with simple assault. I got a bill from a hospital and an attorney. That was a $1,500 punch. There are 2 lessons in this story for you. 1. Walk away when you can. 2. Don't date 17 year old girls. And don't tell me you're just friends. Straight 20 year old men don't hang out with 17 year old girls unless they want something. Even if they are going on 18. :
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 11, 2010 Super User Posted May 11, 2010 For the record, I would worry more if she had older brothers. I can guarantee you that if a 20 year old was "hanging out" with my 17 year old sister, her little high school boyfriends would be the ABSOLUTE LEAST of your concerns. BTW, I don't kick... Find one that is 18 and don't worry about it.
