almost mugged on London street

I was just memeing. Used to be a thing my friends and I would say over stupid arguments "oh you don't like my new shoes? Me and you mano a mano under the bleachers!"

Getting mugged for the first time is a fucking awful experience. I've luckily never had a gun pulled on me so I can't say how I would've reacted in that situation, but you probably did the best thing especially considering you were in the Philippines.

My first time wasn't as bad thankfully but still fucking scary, was on my way from my hotel to a hotel where my friends were at (I booked the holiday late and couldn't get the same hotel). Well seemed like I took the worst fucking route possible. Was about a 15 minute walk and about 5 mins in a car pulls up to me asks where I'm going and if I needed a lift and I told them where I was going...Mistaaaake!!!, I then saw the same car go back and forth anther 2 times but at the time I made nothing of it. I get to the end of the road and it's a T junction and an alley which cut straight through to where my friends hotel was. As soon as I stepped into the alley I see 6 guys turn the corner in front of me and like the fucking movies they started bringing out weapons, a variety of kitchen knives and there was even a god damn baseball bat. I don't live in America, it was the first baseball bat I had ever even seen. Thankfully for me they came out waaaayy too early and my fight or flight response chose flight, I booted it out of there onto the road and stopped traffic whilst pointing down the alley way like a lunatic but they were long gone. A taxi driver told me to get in and took me to the station to file a report then took me to my friends hotel were I proceeded to get extremely drunk to forget my sorrows.

The other 2 times someone has tried to mug me were pretty hilarious but only because they were alone, one came up to me thinking he looked intimidating told me to give him my phone, I just yelled FUCK OFF YOU CUNT as loud as I could in his face and continued on my way. The other time, same routine, "give me your shit" but I didn't even let him finish, I just punched him and he ran away.

Maybe next time I will not be so lucky but hopefully there won't be a next time, fingers crossed.
