Yes, when I was young, but not as often now that I am older. Sometimes in defense of people, sometimes in defense of animals.
Once I was watering my lawn, we were at Camp Pendleton, and another wife was walking her dog down the street, and kicking the dog along. She drew near, I told her to stop. She wouldn’t. I turn the hose up to high, put the nozzle to full force, and sprayed the crap out of that woman, while avoiding the hitting the dog.
Told her next time I’d report her. She came down later to apologize.
Recently, at the mobile home park, I got involved with an acquaintance who was refusing to pay a disabled man for some yard work he did for her. I told her she had to pay him. Yak, yak, yak. She called me a couple names, whatever. Others joined the conversation. She finally paid.
People are horrific.
There is such a sense of entitlement by individuals. You should not abuse a dog, any animal, or another human being. Abuse is never acceptable. You should not refuse to pay someone for their work, even if their work is not to your personal standards.
The world is in sad shape because people don’t have the courage to get involved, but they do have the ability to complain. It’s sad.
