Today, some guy on the street threatened to stab me. I called his bluff, and walked away. He wasn't bluffing. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was walking home when a stranger came up to me and told me to give him a good reason why he shouldn't punch me in the face. I guess none were good enough. FML

Leg it
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML

Today, I was walking down the street in the dark, and the woman in front of me kept looking back nervously. I jokingly assured her that I wasn't a mugger. She then took out a knife and mugged me. FML

Today, a total stranger asked me to marry him while we were waiting for the bus. I turned him down. He then pulled a knife on me, grabbed my purse and ran. FML

Run!
Today, I was dared to walk home through a rough part of town. My rep hung in the balance, so I accepted. A kid kicked a football in my direction, so I kicked it back at him hard. It hit him in the nuts, and the next thing I know, I'm running for my life from three bald, shirtless, six-packed thugs. FML
No justice anywhere
Stand your ground
Today, some guy tried to mug me. Shocked, I threw a punch that somehow knocked him on his ass. I'm now staring down the barrel of a lawsuit since he was apparently only 16 and "acting out" because of his shitty home life, as if I should have just handed him my wallet politely. FML

Sorry, man
Today, I shouted, "Fuck off!" out of reflex when I felt someone behind me grab my bag and pull it off my shoulder. It turned out to be an elderly man with a walking stick, who was trying to steady himself in a busy crowd. FML

Today, a man pulled me violently into an alleyway and informed me I was being mugged. Being a body-builder, I said, "Oh yeah? Go on then." He kicked my ass in a matter of seconds, stole my wallet, then farted on my bruised face. He called me a wimp. FML

That's why it's always good to be able to call thier stabbing and raise them a pistol in thier face.

Still doesn't justify a life threatening experience. For all be know OP could've been stabbed. It's a FYL to OP.

He probably is considering he is posting this

he was walking away so BOOTY STAB (I'm assuming if not must have been a small knife to not critically wound him)

Not necessarily 12. Although op is not dead, he could've been stabbed in the intestines causing op to have a colostomy bag the rest of his life, or something else that greatly changed his life. Hope you're ok op and that nothing was damaged or life changing for you!

This is one of those fml that really need ops reply. Knowing that op can still post this on fml, he/she is probably alright

Yeah, I don't think bluffing to a guy with a knife will work.

How can you handle something like that so calmly? FYL forsure
onlychildFTW 34
OP only made the mistake of turning his back. Otherwise good on him for sticking up for himself. Just never turn your back on them until their unconscious.

That's horrible! Hope you're OK, OP!

I hope you're okay and I'm sorry this happened to you, but also, never ever Ever take it so lightly when someone threatens you. Always get help from people/groups nearby or police
SweetasCandy0609 28
Wow that's crazy, OP you shouldn't try calling someone's bluff like that if they are threatening you let alone threatening you with a weapon some people are stupid and crazy these days and don't play around.

If someone's nuts enough to walk up to you and say they're gonna stab you for no particular reason, they're probably crazy enough to carry through with it

Always keep the crazies in direct sight. Hope you are okay. Hope you handed his ass back to him afterwards, to let him know you weren't bluffing either

tbh you really shouldn't have done that, you weren't prepared to deal w the consequences ?
