A favorite on /r/askreddit, or at least it seems that way to me.
I only have one, and it’s not very entertaining.
I was on a bus going to work. A few stops before mine the bus gets cut off by another bus. The driver started yelling at the other driver then pulled over and got out of the bus to, I assume, escalate the conflict. We were near my stop anyway, so I got off before things could get hairy.
In like 2008 I was coming back from an overnight airsoft event in rural Texas at like 3am and had to stop for gas. I pulled into the only gas station in a small town just off the highway and was just about to get out of the truck when a sketchy dude walks out from behind the gas pump and started asking me questions through my window hey man, cool truck, is that yours or your parents, where you coming from? I rolled out of there real fast and found a safer stop up the road.
Keep in mind, I was in military gear at the time because I was young and dumb, but that didn’t stop sketchy McCrackhead from chatting me up.
Airsoft gear does not look like military gear. It looks like military role play, which looks obvious to most people. I think that was part of why they felt so comfortable approaching you
At 3 am in the dark from inside a car you think you could tell a difference? I’ll agree the cheap stuff I had was not super realistic but I wouldn’t mess with it. It was really dumb of me to have not changed out of if at the time. People in law enforcement have really itchy triggers nowadays.
I used to do the odd paintball in surplus gear. Without the face shield it was the same kind of kit I used to wear for work.
