>> Now today, I had another type of out-of-the-blue what-the-fuck moment.

>> up in my face and pushing me in the chest several times trying to get
>> me to swing at him.  "You're not going to fucking tell me what to do!"
>> The cops were called and everything, but I didn't press charges
>> because I found out that he was moderately mentally retarded.  After
