I live on the fourth floor of my Dorm, and last friday night I was walking around when I heard voices. So, I go look out the window, and a couple of guys have their heads stuck out the window on the third floor right below. The first thing that pops into my head is 'prank' so went back, filled my cup with water, and poured it on top of their heads. You could hear the yells, it was funny.

Well, one of them came up, and I know that he didn't know that I did it, someone on my floor taddled on me .

So he gave me this speech on how retarded it was and that 'we're in college now, so grow up' shit. That didn't bother me. What bothered me is that he said he used to think I was a nice guy, which implies that he knows who I am, and I, for the life of me, can't remember him from anywere. Well, anyway, he didn't take it very well. Later someone told me he was from the ghetto *shrugs*. I guess I hurt his ego by soaking him in front of his friends.

It's not like I dumped tar on him or something, it was only water.

Pranking from your friends is funny. Pranking from random strangers and loose acquaintances is not, and you're damn lucky he didn't respond violently.

I must admit that I never thought of it that way. Your probably right.

Oh, and he's the one thats damn lucky he didn't respond violently, since I could have probably kicked his ass. I probably wiegh twice as much as he does, and it wouldn't have been my first fight, although I do try to avoid then, in general.

Ummm no? It's not all right to pick on or harass anyone. That happened to me enough before, unless of course, you don't mind being called Crusty underpants because of your last name. I don't consider what I did Harassment (or at least didn't at the time).

Since I can't edit my post either.

I wonder how me dumping water on someone that I can hardly see (so can't tell whether they are bigger than me or not) somehow proves that I am somekind of big bully that runs around picking on everyone that is smaller than me. Just because I'm too stupid to know not to pull pranks on complete strangers doesn't mean that I'm a bully.

It means you disregard the inconvenience and feelings of other people in favor of your own enjoyment, aka dropping a bucket of water on someone.

While bully isn't 100% correct, the similarities are quite obvious.

Wait, wait. Lemme recap.

You saw some complete stranger sticking his head out a window. Some seldom-used synapses fired randomly, giving you the idea that pouring water on his head would be smart and/or funny.

Guy comes up and gives you shit for it. You proceed to EC to whine about how he couldn't take a joke. We tell you you're lucky you got off with just being told off, and warn you that stupid shit like that could get your ass handed to you, you start bragging how you could have beat his ass in a fight.

Sounds about right?

Now, read that carefully and see if you can see the reason people are ragging on you for it.

I'd also point out that just because you could win the fight probably, that doesn't actually make it any better for you. The winners, and the bigger guys, are the ones that get in trouble. So yup, you're damn lucky it didn't come to violence, either way.

Learning an appropriate sense of humor is important. Nothing is truly funny if the victim of the joke can't laugh too, so that means leaving people you don't know alone, and confining your humor to those whose tastes and tolerances you know.

It's just I think differently than other people. If someone had dumped water on my head, I wouldn't have gotten pissed off at them. I probably would have thought it was funny too if it was a prank. I suppose you can say that in a way I am retarded, because often I don't rememeber that other people are different than me in many of these respects, and wouldn't think it funny.

*sigh* now that I look back on my response it does look a lot like bragging doesn't it? Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.

Oh that's fine. I certainly deserve to be ragged for what I did. But I'm not the burly bully that a lot of people are making me out to be, that's all.

And just because I like Martial Arts doesn't mean that I run around going 'kamehameha' all the time either. How many times have you seen me mention that I like Martial Arts here? I may make a few alusions on occasion, but as far as my memory goes, this is the first time.

Oh I agree. That's one of the reasons that I never start fight (other than I'm a pacifist in every occasion except one that involves self-defence or defence of another person) We were both lucky that there wasn't a fight.
It's also possible that he could have beaten me. That's happened to me enough times for me to know that I'm not invincible. Getting the crap beaten out of you can be an enlightening experience.

Actually, if you would reread what I wrote you would notice that I said "it wouldn't be my first fight either". Although Size can matter, it doesn't have to necessarily. I know some people that are bigger than I am that couldn't defend themselves if their lives depended on it. I also know several people that are much smaller than I am that can (and some of them have) kick my ass in a fight.

I don't start fights (on purpose) I don't like to seriously fight against someone else. It's not something that I enjoy.

Now, sparring is another matter entirely.

My 2 cents..

1> what you did wouldnt be considered a practical joke.. you have realized this.

2> I think alot of what FaL is referring to has some merit. You dont have to be a bully to have a bully mentality on things. Never underestimate anything about a person when you consider in the slightest.. of fighting them.

3> Saying that you know Judo or whatever really doesnt make you look good in our eyes. It comes off as bragging. Many of my friends who have taken martial arts dont go around bragging that they did. If a fight should happen.. then they defend themselves with their knowledge.. otherwise.. you'd rarely ever know that they even knew any fighting knowledge. A friend of mine took Judo for quite a few years.. that doesnt mean he goes around saying that he coulda taken such and such guy on because he knew it.

You gotta realize a few things about this community.. you claim to have been here longer than people figure.. yet you really havent paid much attention as to why the community may turn on a person. Coming here and complaining about how someone got upset at you when you were the one at fault.. wont go well with people.. you understand that now. This is good you learned a lesson. Being a braggart is another lesson you need to learn too. Blatant bragging wont really get you further within the good graces of the majority of the community. To this point.. the bully mentality is there. "So and so was smaller than me.. I coulda kicked his ass." Bullies brag about their prowess almost all the time. I think this is why Fal is still referring to you in the light of a bully.

again.. just my 2 cents.. dont bother taking the advice because people rarely do.

Size does matter, quite a bit. There's only so much knowing tae kwon do will take you before the bigger, heavier guy decides to grab hold of you and just squeeze.
