When people cross the line

Riddle101

Has there ever been a time when you felt someone you know or see just goes too far and crosses the line, there seems to be a moment in everyones time when you see someone and say, hey now that was not cool, YOU JUST CROSSED THE LINE BUDDY. This happened to me on October.

Was going to my school Debs in October and i took this girl with me. Now we weren't dating or anything, she was just a friend i asked to the debs. Anyway i'm sitting at a table with my mates, she's out having a smoke and this guy comes up to me and starts talking to me, i know this guy because he was in my year before he did TY year. He starts asking about your one and then asks if i'm taking a ride on her(I'll let you guess what i'm really talking about), of course i said no and he walked away. Later on when we're in the club i take a break from dancing with her and while i'm having a drink, he comes over to her and asks her to dance right in front of me. I was still tired and wanted to talk to me mates and i'm not exactly dating her so i'm not too bothered about it, then of course one of my mates starts talking to me about the two of them and starts making me think differently about what i agreed to. So i managed to get away from him, but during the night he kept coming back and i was really getting pissed off by now. I know i'm not dating her and can't exactly tell her who she can and can't go with but to me this was Going to far. When she agreed to come with me to this thing i took full responibilty for her, i made sure she fit in with my firends, i watched over her and i paid for her, so i was kind've obliged to stop this guy from hitting on her, and i don't think her brother would have been to happy if he'd have known this because he called me during the debs(checking up on her, of course) and told me to take care of her, so i did. But i still felt disrespected by this guy. Anyway I felt he was going too far(Was i right?) I haven't seen your man since the debs so i'm not really pissed anymore cause i'd talk to him but i wasn't happy at how he was interfering with us that night.

Anyway have any of you's got any tales of People corssing the line or going to far

None that I can think of at the moment :-/

Your one sounds like an episode of Home & Away.

Anybody who physically attacks me has crossed the line. They are just asking me to call a nuclear strike with my mind.

Also I don't really see what was so bad about yours. Then again I might have trouble understanding the situation.

My exec coming on to me (for the second Christmas party in a row - didn't get the hint first time round I guess:rolleyes:). Thought it would turn me on by telling me what lingerie his wife wears and how big her tits are. Not kidding..

Morto for him the following week!

He crossed the line by doing this but I crossed the line too by laughing in his stupid face!:p

So the guy came over to you, asked if you were going out with the girl (in a not so subtle way!), was told the girl was single, and then made his move by asking the girl to dance. What an unreasonable pr1ck!:rolleyes:

OP it sounds like you liked this girl and were afraid to make the move and just got jealous because somebody else had the balls to.

As for people going over the line. I had this guy pat my face in a patronizing way in a nightclub last summer. I just saw red and pushed him into a table full of drinks and walked off.

It's more to do with respect and consideration then jealousy. I mean how would you like it if someone came up to a girl you invited out and tried to make a move, it would be even more embarassing if they actually hooked up and you were left standing around watching the girl you took to the debs go with this guy(right in front of your friends) now that never happened but it could have and that's what got to me about him. I wasn't going to be pwnd by this dude in front of everyone. Not to mention we never really liked each other that much anyway

pwnd

I hate that word:mad:

pwnd:
A variation of the word "owned". The only reason that this word came about was because of a typo, and given that P and O are right next to each other. It has nothing to do with combining words or anything of the sort. It is rumored to have come about from an early Warcraft3 map, in which the creator meant to have a trigger say "Player X got ownd", trying to use the "1337speak" variation of "owned", but hit P instead of O, thus giving birth to "pwnd".

Guy asked if she was fair game, you said yes - get over it.

yea, but it was at their debs - it's not really dead-on to crack onto his date on that particular night.

Back in the day, he'd have been sleeping with the fishes !

You used the word pwned in relation to a real life situation, oh dear

Fair point but the way I read it was it was post debs in a club.

If a guy came up to me in a club and asked me that, he'd be sh*tting his own teeth in the morning.

In the event that I had no interest in the girl, *and* implied she was fair game, then I couldn't really cry about it afterwards.

OP, if you wanted to keep the young lady safe, why didn't you lie - or at least tell the leech to f*ck off and mind his own business.

So to summerise
You wanted to get into her knickers and she wasnt interested.
Everyone knew she was out of your league and another red blooded youngflaa decided he'd have a crack at her.

Lesson learned, stick to uugly birds brother

+1. Was in New York last year with a bunch of friends. On the last night, we ended up in this Irish bar called McSorley's. The place only served 2 types of beer. Dark and light. So after a night on the dark, the atmosphere in the group also started to turn dark. I've never been one for fisticuffs, as I punch like a 4 year old, and prefer to talk my way out of agro. But one of the guys in the group, this giant of a fella always guns for a fight because, well, nobody can really touch him. Anyway, he beat the snot out of me and another guy in the group. And because none of the rest of them lifted a finger to intervene, or even condemn the actions, as soon as we got home, I turned my back and walked away, never to look back. It was the culmination of months of agro anyway, and resulted in the group splintering to some degree. But the line had been drawn, crossed and shat on that night.

OP's story brings this to mind TBH.

It's one thing if he'd come over and just started cracking onto the girl. However he asked you first whether she was available or not.

Also, not to be too harsh, but it sounds like you like this girl and are jealous. Otherwise, why are you posting here? If she was off with another lad it gave you the "out" to drink with your mates. In my opinion, you should have grown a pair and asked her yourself.

On the other hand, to be harsh, you used "pwned" and for this I've lost all sympathy for you

I almost crossed the line once. But my brother pulled me out of the way of the train.

Someone píssing in your pint when you're not looking. Now, that's crossing the line.

Girlfriend sekritly doesn't swallow & then kisses you. That's crossing the line too.

Actually the debs was held in the club, she was still my date.

Like i said before we were mutual friends who i invited to my debs, I was not in it to get under he knickers and was not interested. BUt in the circumstances that she was my date that i invited to debs, it was wrong for the other guy because he was trying to get between us. Anyway i wouldn't have hit on her even if i was interested because i knew from the start she wasn't interested in me, or dating anyone else that night. She came purley for the fact that i asked her to come and because she never had a debs of her own, so i asked her to mine

As I, and many, have said before, this chap asked you for permission. By you saying, "No I'm not with her" is effectively permission for the other lad to have a go.
At least that's my reading of it. It's probably not the nicest thing but there you go.

rejkin

From my reading of the it,it sounds like the guy wouldnt go away,if tats the case then thats crossing the line,fair enough if he went to dance with her and she wasnt interested but to keep going back over to the girl again and again when its obvious theres nothing there is crossing the line,iv seen that happen a few times,its pathetic

sinlessgunner

Similar situation at my debs except it was worse. A mate of mine was going out with the girl he took to his debs for a couple of months. A few times during the evening this random fella came over and asked the girl to dance, my mate told him to go and s**t. He came over a few times during the night and kept asking her out. She went out to have a cigarette and we seen this guy follow her out...we followed to see what was going to happen. He went over to talk to her and she told him in no uncertain terms to get lost. Then he grabbed her and tried to kiss her. She screamed and we ran over and beat the total crap out of him (I don't normally fight before anyone brands me a scumbag).

Now THAT guy crossed the line.

sinlessgunner

No I am generally a pacifist and if anyone gives me aggro I generally try to talk my way out of it. I don't like fighting with anyone for any purpose, whether or not I'm in a group or by myself, but this guy really crossed the line. And if I was by myself I would have done the exact same thing to the guy, I was just backing up my mate.
