Stolen zippo.

Yeah but 2 on one can get messy unless ya a good fighter, problem is even if you are for all you know they could have done martial arts as a kid etc etc.

Call me a pussy, i like getting wet.

Kick him in the nuts and bottle the other one, he is most likely to have a pink belt at hanging round the mens toilet

Oh rudi i love it when you talk to me that way

[Seraph]

I wish it would have been as easy as flooring him and taking it back...
But then there's the fact that this town isn't all that big..and people talk...
If you saw someone that worked in a bar you go to...punching someone in the face, and then what would look like to bystanders as searching them and taking something...what would you think?
It may only be a lighter, But it's more the principal of the whole matter.
I'm still just irritated.

Its true - I did Judo when I was 7 and I'm fucken dangerous.

edit - not taking the piss from Skiddy here- just that 90% of 'martial artist' cannot fight their ways out of a paper bag.

... just that 90% of 'martial artist' cannot fight their ways out of a paper bag.

Tis true, alot of those 'martial artists' are likely to get themsevles in trouble because they think they're better than they are "i'm an X belt so I'm good.'

A good friend of mine no longer practises a particular style for that very reason. They had a change in head sensei and suddenly went soft, he disagreed with their 'did well for his age' approach to gradings. But then he had trained under an old school sensei who followed the traditional 'meet the grade or faint/puke trying' train of thought.

Fighting over a zippo lighter?????
Dude, you passed it over to a drop kick, him and his mate kept it.
Get over it.

Thats a really really tough situation. Getting nicked by trying to be a good guy.... There are some cock suckers who don't know shame.

If I were you, I too would have done the same.

Too true.... Still, don't let a couple of petty bullies stop you being a good bloke - the world needs more good blokes than bullies, bullies and wankers have never been in short supply....

I hate to say it but you learn your lesson, do what you reasonably can (report it to the cops, keep an eye for the guy etc...)... but move on and don't do it again.

I was royally fleeced by an insurance company way back when... same thing. Learned from it... had to move on.

Wankers... and if you put a cut in his skin an inch deep from the base of his neck to his arsehole, suddenly you're the bad guy.

People are creatures of habit, it's likely they've drunk there before... stash a piece of wood with some nails sticking out of it outside the pub, a long bit so it gets plenty of velocity at the tip when you swing it. Then, wait till they're pissed, and they leave. Then, kill them.

Some wankers will tell you it's 'just a lighter'. Today maybe. I'd recommend killing those pacifist fucktards too.

Don't lend your lighter to strange or drunk cunts.

Nice thread dredge.

[JimO]

i wonder if he got his lighter back

[BuzzardNZ]

If you work at a club, surely there's a bouncer there, couldn't you have asked him for a hand getting your lighter back?

[Banditbandit]

Ok,
So something happened to me last night, and I don't think i've ever been so angry.
I was at work at 3 in the morning (nightclub) and a couple of guys come down, tell them we're closed and they were fine with it, 1 of them asks to borrow a lighter, i give him my zippo, he lights his smoke and hands it to his mate, who lights his and continues to play with it.
My workm8 comes outside and starts chatting to them and about 5 minutes later they decide to leave.
I ask him for my lighter back and he ignores me, and starts walking, I follow him up the street and ask him for it again, he refuses to even admit he still has it and continues walking away. Catch up to him and ask him to empty his pockets, he refuses. At this point I'm fuming and wondering what the f**k to do. He's with a friend and im alone, I'm not exactly the biggest guy ever.
I was doing him a favour by letting them use it....
What do you do in a situation like that??
My instinct says smak him over,
my brain says calm down and let it go....
I'd had it for 7 years......

I've lost, misplaced or had stolen several Zippo lighters over the years - I've given up on them and only use Bic Flicks ... cheaper and saner when they disappear ...
