What's the MOST PATHETIC Way Someone has Tried to ASSERT DOMINANCE Over You? - Reddit Podcast

When I was 10 or so, I had a bully try to fight me at recess. He "took karate" and tried to kick me like some kind of bad ass. I easily caught his foot and just held it. He looked at me and started to panic. He was hopping on one foot, I just kept holding his foot and he was completely helpless. I simply push him to the ground and walked away. Never talked to that kid again.

[@k3rm1t_fr0g-fn1wf]

Yeah, kicking is just overrated. You can just grab the foot

[@shhinysilver1720]

@@k3rm1t_fr0g-fn1wfin martial arts, and yeah! Grabbing kicks (unlike punches) is very possible, and quite effective. Kicking isn’t ruined as an option by grabbing, since there are many fake - outs and combos. If the bully took karate, he should’ve known that is very much a thing that can happen, which probably means he is new.

[@kirillzakharov7336]

@@shhinysilver1720 gotta be careful though. depends on the range and how athletic they are. They can still generate some power and push kick you if you give them the slightest chance.

[@shhinysilver1720]

@@kirillzakharov7336 right! forgot about those. catching a push kick is quite hard, especially in the heat of a fight.

I'm a writer by trade. Back when I was still getting established, I met another so-called aspiring writer who turned out to be a lying grifter with zero skills and even less talent. She tried to steal my writing (my copyrighted writing) and tried to turn it into her own little vanity project to jumpstart her lagging career. Naturally, when she was confronted, she tried to deny it. I had receipts and proof of everything she had done. Surprise surprise. A person with zero ethics or morals, who has no problem crossing over every single boundary in front of her, has a lot of enemies. I had more than enough for a lawsuit regarding the theft of intellectual property but also for harassment, libel, slander and defamation of character. In the end, I decided not to sue because she was so broke she couldn't afford to even pay attention. There was no chance of they're being a payout for damages. The bar was so low with her and she brought a shovel. She's a laughing stock now.

I was in a hotel once in London and there's this guy who seems like he was trying to one up me. When I grab a food he would grab the same but more and then when I was eating he would stare at me from across the room as he tries to eat all the food in his plate as fast as possible. He ended up eating oysters that I fortunately noticed were spoiled.

[@Flarflenugen]

Had a guy try to get me to soothe his ego once. Said the old bs line of "real men dont cry" to which i disagreed. Then, in an attempt to make me apologize he said "guess im not a real man then" which i did agree to. He didnt like me much after that

[@steamrailwilly]

This happened fairly recently. My father and I were watching my brother’s dog while he was away at his in-laws. We had just returned from taking the dog on a walk, and were standing in the front yard tossing a ball between us and said dog. When suddenly, a white pickup truck slowed down, then the driver leaned out the window, and shouted “Wanker!” before speeding away. We just stood there confused, since we had no idea who this was, and that we live in the USA Midwest.

I was bullied when I was like 5 - 8 and these three kids decided that (one of them "knew judo") they would relentlessly kick, punch and basically try to beat me up every day. One day, I fought back, gave one of them a black eye, one of them got a nose bleed and one of them had a massive bruise on his cheek. My teachers got my mum into school for a meeting. Then tried to punish me, my mum knew how much they had bullied me and how little the teachers had done about it. (At one point, I was told that "I was big enough to fight them off" by a teacher.) So my mum said as the teachers wouldn't at the very least, chastise the bullies. So I moved school, and whenever I saw those kids outside of that school, they avoided me.

[@StarBlazerM31]

I work at a big box store and was stocking lightbulbs. A big bearded guy and a very frightened-looking girl came down the isle. The guy was on his phone. I overheard him say that he couldn't find regular incandescent light bulbs, so I said "We don't sell them anymore, we only have LEDs." The guy looked angry and the girl started to laugh. He got offof his call,walked up to me and growled "Do you talk to your old man like that?" (I'm a woman btw) I replied "Yes, and he has the good sense to listen." Wtf, right???

[@Jax_Destro]

I'm 6ft 5in, and I can confirm that part about short drunk guys trying to pick fights with big dudes. I was walking through downtown where the main bars were, and some random drunk guy who was much shorter than me was walking down the same sidewalk from the other direction. I moved to the side to give him room to pass well before he got to me. He then moved back into my path. I tried to move again, and he again got back in my path. He then got walked up to me and tried to put his hand on my chest, and I stiff armed him, causing him to stuble backward a few steps. I had never seen the guy before, and I didn't know what his deal was. I yell at him to not fucking touch me and walked past him. He didn't try anything else, and I still to this day don't know what his problem was.

In regards to “push up lizards”; Male Anole lizards do this to show off their vibrant dewlaps to females

[@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985]

I've had two encounters of some weird assertion of dominance. I was walking up an escalator and there was a dude standing on a step and when I tried to pass him, he squished me with his body for absolutely no reason. The second was on the train and some dude started shouting at me something like "I'm gonna fuck you up" or something, I don't know I was listening to Sabaton on my headphones and had no idea what he was saying. I wasn't even doing anything. Maybe he saw some autistic white girl and thought he was going show off how hood he was to the spirit of Tupak or something. I don't know, I think it had something to do with me being white and him being black.

Back in either 2008-09 I was stationed in Texas and hanging out with an absolute madman named Bruce. On this day we were driving around in his suped up Monte Carlo that he’d rebuilt from the ground up and hit a four way light. While sitting there some kid in what looked like a mid ‘00’s impala revving it up like he was getting ready to race a lawn mower. We end up inching close up to him and he started making eye contact with us while revving. Bruce, again being the absolute madman he was, slowly flipped a switch on his dashboard while making eye contact with the lawnmower man and began revving what sounded like a semi truck. Dude sank into his seat as we heard laughter coming from the other cars at the stop!

[@larimartinez8161]

lizards actually do pushups

[@PolinaLee94]

My little sister is very proud of the fact that she has 0.5 smaller shoe size than me. When we buy shoes it's smug fest all over the place/page. This shoe size thing is very common amongst girls and it's sad.

[@Stormtroopre]

Him "hey op, how are ya" Me "yea I'm alrig-" Him "SPEAK UP, I CANT FUCKEN HEAR YA!" After about maybe 3 times this happened, I just stopped replying to him, this drove him up the wall to the point we're he followed me around screaming "what the fucks your problem?!" Which I still ignored and watching him nearly have his head explode was hilarious. As for my supposed sound problem? I get told I'm way too loud sometimes and get told to talk quietly by everyone else, even my mum, it was just a alpha move and I don't have the patience for that shit

[@Stormtroopre]

Listening further in, I got another one. I never saw the people in this car, but it's still funny. I used to have long hair which I tied into a bun. Me and my ex were in a tiny excel going to the shopping centre. while at some lights, it has done that thing where it had just turned green and the car behind starts aggressively beeping. Then follow us all the way to the car park, high beams, right up our ass, being all intimidating and manly (maybe) I, a 6'1' guy, big beard and people say I'm built, jumped out of our car and turned around, the other car reversed very quickly and drove off, going the long way round to leave the car park. Pathetic really lol

Rè the footpath walking asserting dominance. This happens in Australia BUT only young girls do this, expecting men to move for them. Same response - don't move and stop walking

[@jackcurl2005]

This happened at an office building I worked in. These four girls would walk side by side down the public hallway, essentially wall-to-wall, like carpeting. At the time I was pushing 300lbs from above, so not a small guy. Easily as wide as two of these tiny girls. I Finally decided they could stop acting like they owned the very public hallway, so I would just stop in front of them, forcing two of them to have to move. They made noises about my affrontery forcing them to give way. I would always say low, you don't own the hallway and aren't the queens of the building.

[@voodoo-u8d]

A kid tried to fight me. And got humiliated. In 5th grade, we were going to class after PE and a kid grabbed me. This kid was often called the troublemaker. I pushed him, telling him to get off. He tried to kick me. And I grabbed his leg. And made him fall. Everyone goes “OOH!”. He tries again, fails. I’m being honest here:I have NO IDEA how I did that.

It was the end of a school party and we all had to clean up chairs. I just pick my chair up other people grab the ones around me. I go to put mine away my friend comes up to me and goes. "Dude only one chair." HE WAS HOLDING 1 MORE CHAIR THEN ME. omg I have more stories from him but Jesus.

[@richardlanier2113]

Years ago I was in my camaro I used to have. A dude pulled up next to me in a modified honda civic and was revving and revving and showing off with his girlfriend in the car with him. Little did he know my radar detector had been going off more and more the closer I was to the light. I revved my camaro at him to antagonize him more. Light turns green and he floors it. I did not. I waved at him while laughing as I drove by while he was getting a nice citation I'm sure. Lol

[@MsArrika]

Yeah people not moving for others when walking is a minor pet peeve of mine too. A some point you do kind of notice you're the only one with the decency to practice this common courtesy and I can't for the life of me get my husband to stand with me in solidarity on this. He's like any normal person and is like it's really not a big enough hill to die on, and he may be right but I guess being the kind of person who usually rolls with the punches its always the little shit that gets me in a tizzy. Like mcdonalds drive throughs??? Oh my god. Its first come first serve im not moving up until one of these damned speakers is free o the douche bag behind me can claim one. And if I know I finished my order first and the other person starts to try and pull in front of me?? Uh no. Its a whole Mexican stand off. I'm not insane enough to cause a scene over it but the other person usually is.

“The alpha has priority over the teacher”

[@antares8476]

Idiot kept pissing me off because I wasn't paying 0 attention and interest in her stories. It escalated when I told her I don't care about her stories especially with the errors she is making (I was a bit much better in science than her). A google search and she was humiliated. She started bully me. I bullied her back. Like pull her mouse out sightly during class. Mess with the noise. Plug in my mouse into her computer. It freaked her out. Also making small comments about her apperance. Turns out she was insecure. One day I foud her crying in the dorm bathroom floor. I was just looking while she went hysterical. I asked her if she finished her out burst and would let me in the stall. Her jaw dropped and almost screamed if I had any heart or feelings. I said not for her. She avoided me and became miserable and quiet. I stopped. She never tried to interact with me again and neither did I.

[@SenseiRaisen]

in 3rd year of college, a guy try to do that becuase he want to f* a girl who goes with us. I just ask for an assignment to him and only him when he was talking to this girl who looks uncomfortable to him the entire time. He seems to didn't took it well as she was the one to answer me instead. Then later i bid them goodbye on the hallway before she pass to me and then had the guy told me he want to ask me something. Then told me a lot of crap about how he wants to get with her and i was on his way, that he is been with her for months bla bla. I was like confuse for a second before realize it and start to crack smile and said: "OH! you thought i wanna f* her? dude! i was just simply ask for the assiment to YOU specifically since you're the only idiot i seen often. BUT if you don't wanna be bother, then sure, its fine. Good luck with her, it will be sad if she friendzone you ... see ya!" and walk away a little anger but also amused at how i bouce him back and leave him speechless. A week later, they stop to come. I heard she friendzone him HARD not long after. He got mad to the point of make a scene. They stop coming right after because she would press charges if he continue harassing her.
