I've told this story here before, but I like telling it so...
I had some big junkie dude try to mug me while I was taking a piss in an alley in philly after happy hour a few years ago.
He comes running around the corner while I'm pissing yelling "don't move don't move". I didn't really get a look at him so I'm thinking, "fuck I'm getting a ticket for public urination" assuming it's the cops when I feel hands going through my pockets. I remember wondering to myself whether or not he had a weapon, but before I had time to process that thought I had already spun around and started fighting the guy.
I barely remember the fight at all. The only memories I have are that at some point I was on the ground on my back telling myself "you've been here a million times, you're fine" and the next memory I have was feeling my forearm under his chin and immediately locking up a standing guillotine (apparently I had gotten back to my feet somehow) while yelling "are you done yet motherfucker?!" and cranking on his neck. I just kept squeezing until he stopped struggling and when I let go he just fell into a pile on the ground ala Jones vs. Machida.
Now I'm standing over him pissed off and yelling shit like "you're lucky I didn't kill you!" and "you fucked with the wrong guy!" as he starts regaining consciousness. He instantly starts apologizing when I notice one of my shoes is missing so I start yelling "where the fuck is my shoe motherfucker?!". He starts looking around on the ground and finds my shoe and hands it up to me saying, "I'm sorry sir, here's your shoe sir!"
I tell him off for a few more moments before turning around and walking away towards where my car is parked when I decide I need to tell my buddy (who I'd just been drinking with at a bar a few blocks away) about what happened. I reach in my pocket for my phone and it's not there.
So I go storming back over to the guy who at this point is still sitting on the ground. I yell, "where the FUCK is my phone?!" He pulls it out of his pocket and hands it to me.
"It's right here sir I'm sorry sir!"
I take my phone and start yelling at the guy some more when he literally starts crying, tells me he can't find his percocets, and starts mumbling something about taking care of his family and that he's never done this before and never will ever again.
I end up actually feeling sorry for the guy so I help him find his bottle of percocets, which had fallen out onto the street, gave him a little lecture/pep talk, and even handed him a couple bucks out of my wallet.
I get in my car and make it about a block before the adrenaline dump hits me. I call my friend and tell him what happens and he convinces me to come back to the bar for another drink and to calm my nerves before heading home. As I tell the story to my friend the bartender notices my face is a little messed up (not sure if I actually took some punches or it was just from grappling with the guy on the sidewalk) and by the end of the story the entire bar is listening and buying me shots lol.
Another interesting part of the story was that we had been going over basics in my BJJ class the past few weeks (i'd been training for about 5 years at that point) and we were drilling guillotines in class the day before this happened. Needless to say my coach was quite happy when I told him about it (probably would've been more happy if I'd flying triangled or gogoplata'd the guy tho)
EDIT: inb4 literally none of that happened
