What would you do if..

You were alone in an elevator with a strange man, and he suddenly pulled a knife, saying "give me your money or I'll stab you" ?

This happened to my father when he was younger and he beat him up until the guy was senseless.

I might be a pussy for this - but I cant' imagine how it's even possible to have the balls to do that. Would you?

Give him the money, kick him where it hurts take the knife and my money back

Yeah.. that'd take a lot of courage. Did they catch the guy who did that to your dad?

I also considered that way.

And no idea, but one of his friends saw the guy walking with his whole head full of bandages the next day 😆

After a very busy day when everything that could possibly go wrong had gone wrong, I was generally pissed and in a hurry. Suddenly someone put his arm around my throat and squeezed and I could feel cold metal on my neck. I didn't hear what he said exactly, but it was very likely that he was after money. I weezed that(translated into English):

"You really don't wanna do that."

I felt hesitation and then the guy let go of his grip, the presumed knife dissappeared and he ran. I went on with my own business, catching the sub...and didn't even realise what had just happened until about 30minutes later.

It wasn't in an elevator, but...

My point is that, imo, you never know how you are going to handle a certain situation until you're there. So, who knows, maybe you would have kicked his ass.

personally when I'm with anyone in confined space I always assess all the ways I could take them down like a ninja, and check out their hands/attitude to see if they might be carrying weapons, and I try to guge their intentions. Chances are He wouldn't even have a chance to take out the knife.
That said I'm not infaillible and there are many case where I would get mugged. I'd say don't play a hero and give the money, don't fight unless you're really sure of yourself.
Learn self defense if you want, not martial arts which is mostly bollocks but actual defense/kill moves.

I was held up with a knife at my back at a shop I worked at. I always thought I would fight someone off if that ever occurred but instead I was completely frozen, I couldn't move... not even to give him the money. He kept nudging me with the knife to hurry up but I couldn't bring myself to move. Oh man, what a traumatic experience.

Stomp his ass until I'm seeing white meat.

Most of you would just piss yourselves.

+1

Me? Figure out the best way to use his own knife against him.
Fight back.
I wouldn't stop either until I saw blood and he stopped moving.

...yeah, my mind even thought so far as to if he managed to cut me, to use my own blood to throw in his eyes and then wail on him.
😐

Tell him to stab me.

It'd be the last person they ever robbed.

Sorry for sounding slutty but

1. is he a heterosexual male?
2. is he hot?

Who my dad?

Lol. No

The man with the knife

If you give me a second I'll ask my dad if he has the guy's facebook for you.

They exchanged numbers & shit after the incident.

I'd throw my money away from my person and when he turns to retrieve it I'd taze him and then repeatedly kick him in the groin until the cops arrive.

I'll make him my friend.
