Reply #27: When I was in college, my gf and I rented a house.... [View All]

...and we generally kept the back door unlocked. I was in the bedroom and I heard some conversation in the kitchen (not unusual because friends came by often), but then I heard my girlfriend call for me in that tone where I knew something was wrong.

I jumped up and ran to the kitchen to see a really big strange guy (not someone we knew) in our kitchen who was clearly drunk and looking for his girlfriend. He thought my gf was lying to him that she wasn't there. He had grabbed her arm when she tried to show him out.

Fortunately I am fairly big myself and can look menacing if needed. We sized each other up pretty good when I came in a rush. Fortunately he left, but it was the first time (of about 4 times) when I wished I had more than my good looks and stinging tongue to protect myself and others.
