So I work a security job every now and again at an all ages venue in the area. Usually its nothing to exciting. Checking wristbands, making sure nobody is figting inside...
However Friday night I had some stupid kid drinking out front. I asked him to take his drink and go across the street or around the corner. He gave me a bunch of attitude, started spouting off about "F the Marines." this and that. I kept my cool for the most part, however him and a friend did try and rush my door later that night. That was quickly subdued. I wouldn't really call it a fight, more or less a scuffle that ended with myself and another security guard working holding them with some minor pain compliance, not asking but telling them to leave or we would get the police involved. They left and everyone was fine. I figured what was done was done.
I was working again last night, when him and a large group of his friends came up to me at the door and said they were there for some revenge. I told the head guy of our whole security team what was going on and he called a previous employee of ours who was underage to come work the door with me, since he knows I can't be fighting, especially not with a minor. So the ex-employee took it upon himself to call up a few friends of his and go take care of it. And they did. This started a huge **** storm out front, to which the kid who got beat up started pointing me out with all his little drunk friends saying I just had him jumped. Then he called a few guys of age to come fight me. Well they got to the venue and started calling me outside. So I went. They started screaming about this and that. We told them to leave or we'd have to get the police involved. Then one of the older "kids" (he was definitely over 18) started screaming "F'ing Marine can't handle his ****". NO I did not go around telling people I was a Marine, as I haven't earned that title yet, I just was wearing a Marines hoodie.
Now I used to be the kind of person who never liked to talk things out. If you wanted a fight, I was gonna fight. But I also use my head and know when its smart to walk away. And I am to determined to accomplish my goals to let some stupid drunk idiot running his mouth ruin them. So last night I walked away. I told the guy that I didn't need the bs and that I had better things to do then fight over something so stupid. I know it was for the best, but I really took a hit to my pride last night, and I also felt kind of lame for not standing up to someone talking a bunch of bs about Marines. I'm not trying to toot my own horn here but I would have WIPED THE FLOOR with that ass. I just wanted to say something like "Marines do handle their **** and everyone elses, and they do it well." and punch him in the throat or something. I was extremely ****ed off. I wanted to do more then just say something. And not being able to, just took a little gut shot at me.
I guess this was mostly just to vent my frustrations, but I'd also like to hear from anybody if they've ever felt like because of what they are choosing to do, are doing, or have done with their life, if they've ever been in a situation like mine. And how they dealt with the personal part of it.
I'm just more motivated to accomplish what I've set out to do then to screw it all up over someone whose a moron.
