This story might be lame to you guys but I think it relates (kind of).
A couple years ago, my family had some nice lychee that was ready to be picked. The tree is fuckin huge and can be seen from the street. Well, one day I was smoking outside, about 20 feet from the tree. Four guys, probably 17-18 were walking by my house and I could hear them say "Ay, let's go grab some lychee." So I figure they were gonna walk up to the door and ask, but they start climbing up the wall towards the tree.
I'm like "WTF are they just gonna take my fucking lychee?" There are lots of thieves around here, druggies mostly. They couldn't see me from where I was sitting (tall grass) and I was contemplating what to do. Do I let them take it? Confront them? They were bigger than me (I'm a little guy lol). So I just grabbed a piece of rusted pipe and from the cover of the grass I just yelled "What the fuck are you doing back here! Get the fuck outta here!"
They scattered like roaches when the lights come on. I was so fucking relieved. Things could have gone way differently. I could have been mobbed, I could have killed one of them with a pipe. We can all go around saying what we WOULD HAVE done in the OP but being in a real-life scenario is very different. Your blood is pumping, adrenaline is coursing through your veins. You might make a mistake. Fact of the matter is Mr. Cheng is dead and the homeowner might go to jail. We all are responsible for our actions.
And in case you think I'm some 40 year old scared of teens, I was 18 at the time. And I'm still the same size so I'd probably still be sitting in the grass yelling with my "scary" voice lol.
