"When you act up in class so your teacher starts calling your mom but you gave her the number for Pizza Hut."

@SW-User I was walking through the ghetto at night to go to the gas station for some candy and four guys were going up the alley opposite me. They stopped me and told me to fork over any cash I had or they'd beat me up. So I stared to say "Alright I don't want any trouble" but I cut off and then said "Hey wait a minute I know you!" and pointed at one dude who I didn't actually know. I made up a quick story that I worked at GameStop and had seen him come in two days before with his hot Colombian girlfriend, and immediately the other three guys were like "Whoa dude you have a girlfriend?! Bro tell us about her we didn't know!" and the distraction lasted enough for me to inch away and then turn and make a blind sprint back down the alley. They started to chase me but didn't bother pursuing since I was already far ahead. I don't think they were serious criminals anyway. They looked like 20-somethings hoodlums.

I love the word ghetto. It makes you think of some scary images. Yet, four "20-somethings hoodlums" trying to mug a girl is a bit off. That kinda ruins the word for me.

The closest I've got to that is having to deal with ten, fifteen kids sitting on their bikes. I'm sure you know the kind. The one's that wear hoodies in the middle of the day with the hood up because it makes them look "cool".

I got a reputation for being crazy pretty quick. Turns out that if you act like a pyschopath, they're not really ready to continue their charade. I got out of being stabbed twice the same way.

Lesson here - Lie and look for an escape or Act NUTZ and hope for the best.

@SW-User Perhaps ghetto is the wrong word. Barrio might suffice better because it was a poor Latino neighborhood with high crime rates, but the majority of troublemakers are youngs, usually anywhere from 17 to 25, who have nothing to do all day because they can't go to school so they get up to no good.

Oh trust me I know alllll about acting like a psycho.

@ThaGeminII I just got it from this dumb meme lol
