No, not because I did anything wrong. I'm in training to be a Security Officer at a University and part of the training is to get hit with pepper spray, in order to be able to carry it.
It sucked. bad. I'd never ever spray someone unless I absolutely had to.
I definitely have more respect for it, and anyone else that has had to endure it.

| | | | We had to go through a confidence course in the army years ago. They marched us into a building then threw in some tear gas and we had to answer some stupid question like whats your SSN....backwards, before we could don our gas masks. Nasty stuff! And don't take a hot shower afterwards either, the steam will carry whats washing off your body right up an gas you all over again.

Man, you've just ventured out of the cheap date zone and straight into the man whore zone. Maybe you could find something else to do for free in the coming out of the closet thread. |

I wish anyone buying some would have to learn how much it hurts before using it like a TV remote to shoo people off.

She was sitting in the managers booth (she was the boss) at a big chain drug store (raised about 8 foot above the floor level for surveillance & security). I stopped in to take her to lunch and while in the stairwell out of this raised office the pepper spray that was attached to her keys caught on something. As she fumbled to save/catch her keys... she sprayed us both and the assistant manager.
It sucked but was funny as heck at the same time. |

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | | One of my former students was working at JC Penney's when a guy brought $400 or so of clothes to his register. So he removed all the security tags, rang the items up and put them in bags. At that point the guy leaned in and said, "I'm stealing all these clothes and you can't do anything about it."
Like most retailers the policy is NOT to stop thieves but just report it to the authorities so my student took a step back to indicate he wasn't going to try to stop the guy.
The dude pepper sprayed him anyway. |

(I just got a tiny residual whiff. A colleague tested his upwind and said it just about cut him in half. That guy didn't always think stuff through so well.  )
