Why I Stopped Letting Large Groups of Men Hoard Sidewalk Space and Started Scaring Them off With My Hook Hand

‘You will feel the wrath and fear of my hook hand’

We’ve all been there – walking on the sidewalk and then all of a sudden a group of 3+ men are making their presence so overtly known by taking up the entirety of the sidewalk. And it’s like, for what? We’re just walking. You wouldn’t do this if it were three friends driving separate cars. Just get in one line and let other people pass you when they need to. I will not get on this shitty, dirty, half-grassed area to walk around you! I sure as hell will not get on the street or step over drains for you. So from here on out, you will feel the wrath and fear of my hook hand. I have been hiding its power for many years now, but I have been left with no options. If you and your group of hooligans try to get near me without parting some space for me on the sidewalk, I will take out my hook hand and hook whatever I can get – wallets, fingers, eyes. I will take them all. 

Showing common courtesy for other people on the sidewalk is not hard to do. Conversely, hooking your earlobe clean off your head is also not hard either!
