Never, ever mind your own business

As I hear on an almost daily basis, there's nothing more dangerous than "mindin' your own business". Nobody who gets punched is ever doing anything to deserve said action. They are always innocently standing by when a total stranger, for absolutely no good reason, socks them one. 

My face bones are broken, doc? The dude sucker punched me! Came outta nowhere. No ma'am, I was definitely not drinking, or talking smack, or yelling racist/homophobic insults, nor was I even thinking about smoking/shooting/snorting any remotely illegal substances while I yelled at a dude across the bar 14 times my size. We were just laughin' about how ugly his girlfriend is, and then POW! My face hurts.

That BB gun pellet in my eye, doc? That was a drive-by BB gun shooting. No doctor, my "best buddy" and I were not shooting beer cans/squirrels/neighbors' windows/messin' around in my mom's basement when he shot me in the eye. And we definitely had not been imbibing any combination of Bacardi Limon/Schmirnoff Ice/Boone's Farm before we did so. No way. I was walkin' down the street, mindin' my own business, and then, outta nowhere, BAM! My eye hurts.


So, watch yourself. When you're not possibly doing anything that could cause any trouble, mindin' your own business, is when the worst could hit you.
