Have you ever been jumped?

May 22, 2012 5:43 AM

I was jumped by a gang of Asian midgets in freshman year of high school. Never found out why... Maybe it was because I was the only big Asian at school and they were mad or they wanted me to be in their gang. They didn't cause any damage but funny thing is one of them broke their hands on my gigantic head. Anyway, have you ever been jumped?

Yes... now define "gigantic" head. I wear an 8 1/4 fitted cap, and I have very little hair. You?

Not been 'jumped' in that sense. Was a euphemism for something else...in that case, yes I have.

@tarasadies: I haven't bought a fitted cap but apparently according to hat size chart my head is an 8 but measured out it is 25" circumference.

So, do you mean "midget" in the diminutive way, to describe someone as generally short; in the medical way, to describe someone shorter than average, but with roughly the same proportions of someone of average height; or just in the demeaning way, to taunt them for being shorter than you?

Back to the Q, after receiving a quite a drubbing, I was robbed with the threat of bodily harm from a deadly weapon. From their tattoos, I'm pretty sure that they were part of a gang that wasn't based out of a high school. One of the few times I was glad I was both poor and a college student.

I have been jumped. It was during my freshman year in high school in Naples Italy. That was such a horrible place with terrible people. Without a doubt, the most dangerous school I've attended.

Yes I've been jumped. But not since high school.

I was probably 13 at the time. I had never seen any of them before and they didn't even want anything. Just ghetto violence.

It's now 20 years later and I've got a CCW. I'd recommend they mind their own business.

Once in high school. I was cutting class, going to work. They didn't get anything of significance (a bus/train pass that was expiring in two or three days anyway) nor was any violence done.

@curtisuxor: At the time they jumped me they were really short about 4'10"(147cm) to about 5'0" (152cm) while I as about 5'4"(162cm) or 5'5"(165cm). Most of the freshmen were my height so I don't think I was the anomaly. I think by senior year they grew to be about 5'2"(157cm) and I was 5'10" (178cm). So while they aren't midgets by medical terminology they are a lot shorter than average height.

Well a couple of guys they were up to no good. Started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared.

@tarasadies: OMG that's HUGE! Your head is like an inch larger than mine!
I used to wear 7 1/8, but those are pretty snug these days -- haven't been fitted for a true fitted hat in a while.

@mstislavski: Did you have to live with your Auntie and Uncle in Bel-Air?

I was jumped in 7th grade. Was taken to the bathroom, punched and thrown around. I remember sliding on my back under the urinal. Luckily they got bored with me since I wasn't fighting back and they unlocked the bathroom and left.

Middle school was a terrible three years for me. I really don't remember much about it.

My friend was actually just jumped a couple nights ago, I don't really know thee hole story but he ended up have to got to urgent care and it turned out she got a concussion. I haven't seen her since it happened, but I saw pictures and she's all bruised up and has big scrapes on her knees.

I've never been jumped though, or in fight for that matter.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
