The Almost Fight

Last night was the first that I’ve had to stop a fight at work. I’ve never had to do that last year so this time was a first. As much as I tried to be tough and pretend that I knew what I was doing, clearly I was thinking (and hoping) that none of them punch me out. :lol: They didnt physically touch each other but they were arguing and cussing at each other that they wouldve started fighting in seconds. Then some guy (not a part of either party) stood up and tried to stop one of the guys. That didnt help since I wanted him to sit down. There’s a game going on and people are trying to watch but there’s a stupid fight about to happen. The security came and their own solution was to sit the guy down 2 rows back but I didnt want that since they can still argue at each other. I wanted him ejected. Luckily the cop who was there sitting got up from her seat and took the guy away. I dont know if he was ejected or not. Either way I dont want a fight, not in my section anyway. :bubble: The whole situation was clearly ridiculous so I wont even blog about it here. I was just thankful that the lady cop came to the rescue. At the same time, I did feel sorry for the guy because he didnt seem like the a**hole type of guy. Sure he had his piercings but he seemed pretty nice compared to the people he was arguing against. Both parties were drunk so I guess alcohol played a role in the situation.

    Work fights are the worst, especially when you are in the middle of it. I used to have to break up fights at my first job because nobody got along. I eventually decided to quit because working in a negative environment isn’t good. Work sucks to begin with, when you have that bs it’s so much worse.

    That’s one of the things I don’t understand, though. What does it mean to validate your site, and what’s the point of it?

    I don’t know what to do when fights start at work. I don’t know where you work, but I work in retail, and it’s v. random and scary when it does happen.

    That must of been a reakky hard situation to deal with. I am glad it was all sorted. What would we do without cops? :lol: Although when fights happen in school it is very different. Everyone gathers round to watch, that’s until a teacher comes and splits it up of course. :slant:
    Wow I like your smilies! This one is my favourite :devil: oh and this one :butthead: haha :)

    Ah, that sucks that you had to break up that fight at work. It would’ve been most awkward. Glad that no one started full on punching each other though. That would’ve been even worse. Good that there was a cop there though.

    When fights happen I’m usually involved somehow. What a dramaqueen eh?

    It’s good you got the fight sorted though. Didn’t your boss give you any kudos for it?
