What should I have done during mugging?

Scroll to see replies

I was mugged not long ago actually and he took my phone (Sony experia). In future when I go on a night out I'm going to take an old phone which was my dads in 1999 with a pay as you go sim in it. I think a mugger would be disappointed with that :lol:

I feel bad for you, but please tell me you didn't get robbed in broad daylight? :confused:

I know someone who was mugged in primark, seriously.

The only options that may have worked were to say I don't have it on me or just to flat out run away.

However I if you are female OP etc I think you did the right thing. I suppose the one thing about being a fairly sporty tall guy is that I hopefully wont get approached, and if i do i will flat out run to a busy area. NEVER EVER just flat out say "no", as other people have said.

He said he had a bike so I don't think running away would be such a good idea.

Some responses are ridiculous. People saying he should have hit them or whatever would probably pi*s their pants in reality. The best, best thing ever to do is hand your stuff over - you can replace stuff, but not ever your life.

God almighty there are some nasty people in this world

Subjectively, would you say that this relatively minor act qualifies as deserving this particular outburst say, compared to the 99% of nasty things that are worse?

She said she was just looking at a top and some guy ran past her, snatched her bag off her shoulder and ran out of the shop. Ah lovely Birkenhead town centre!

Just to be clear, the best thing to do would have been to Bruce Lee his face. However, assuming you don't happen to be a ninja, you probably made the right call.

Now let's not jump to conclusions...

What the **** is so great about a ****ing Iphone?
Give it to him anyway. Throw it at his face and break his nose.

Perhaps it will teach you to have a face to face conversation...
Or perhaps you nedd the "what is my friend feeling app?"

Considering you didn't have a weapon you probably did the right thing. The sort of person who asks random strangers for weed is probably quite happy carrying a knife around with them.
