Just to say I have a rep for being a good fighter, me doing martial arts and one that can definitely beat the bigger dudes. (Many a man has bled by my hand). I rarely have to enforce that with violence, and when I do it's only VERY mild. NO ONE would ever fight me. Even though some jerks will try to annoy me, they WON'T fight me, not even if they're bigger, that's what a rep does.
Because I don't want to risk having a serious fight when ANYTHING can happen I use a method I picked up around here. Whenever they say I'm retarded or something, I give them a small chuckle, pat them on the head/shoulder and say 'Alright, whatever you say'. Then walk away.
They try to annoy me cause they're jealous of me. The big dude who annoys me hates me as I can tackle him in basketball whilst no one else can. He fouls everyone else most of the time, but he can't foul me which annoys him.
I just take it into mind that they're jealous of me.
I'd also like to quote another law from that book.
Law 44 Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect
if you just want to annoy him, just do the same thing back to him. He SHOULD stop, but you won't look as good to the other kids so the method above this works better imo.
Dude.. I like you man but I gotta say that you just proved my point without realizing it. Noone messes with you anymore cuz you have a good rep for kicking people's ass with martial arts. How did you get the rep in the first place? you showed them that you knew how to kick a*s. The bullies KNOW NOW that they'll end up getting hurt so they won't mess with you. So Viper and the others out there make sure you kick the guy's ass so you get a GOOD REP for being a good fighter so in the FUTURE noone will try and mess with you.
