Have you ever been maced?

[illini]

I was reminded lately of a incident that happened when I was stationed in Germany. I was in a bar and a fight broke out about 5' in front of me. Who would have guess that drunk grunts, German disco, and women = FIGHT. The owner of the disco thats who. She starts to spraying down the whole crowd. I didn't mind except that she was just to my left and wasn't being fussy about where she was spraying. I got a full stream right across the forehead. brouapuafsa;lflksjf. I never had a chance. While my already intoxicate brain lost any since of what the hell was going on my friend Dave ushered me outside. It was about a 2 mile walk back to base after sitting outside for a bit. I never knew a nose could produce so much snot(until my first child). I coughed and gagged the entire time. I threw away the shirt I was wearing. Ack I am glad I can laugh about it now.

1. Can you still smell it?

13. Do you have an olfactory memory of it?

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. No. I can't imagine anyone ever doing that to me.

3. Yes. I was maced by an asshole bouncer at a club.

He maced my boyfriend, and I stupidly jumped between my boyfriend and him, and I ended up with a faceful of mace.

It burned BADLY for about three hours. I was so angry I could have killed that asshole bouncer. His nickname was Heart Attack. What a fuckwad he was.

I hope he's dead.

4. Yes

I was hanging out with my friend in his room listening to music when I was about 12 or so. His brother thought it would be funny to spray some in the room, so he opens the door and starts too spray. He didn't know I was sitting right next to the door. He got me right in the face.
It wasn't fun. It was funny afterward though...much later.

7. No, but a friend of mine's son maced a restaurant.

The girl my friend was dating at the time, had a thing of mace on her key chain and she let my friends son play with her keys. He accidentally set of the mace and it got into the air conditioning system. They were asked not to come back to that restaurant.

8. I maced myself once

was playing with the mace and got some in my eye.

sucked pretty bad - but i am here today to laugh about it...

[BattyDem]

11. LOL ... I did that too.

I thought the trigger was jammed, so I aimed it in the sink to try it out ... and it shot up and hit me on the side of my face. I caught some in my eye. DAMN, THAT HURT!!!

10. Twice

Neither story is that interesting, but it still sucked.

First, there was a "riot" at my campus. It's a small school of only 1,100 students, so what would be a fight anywhere else was dramatically called a riot at my school. One of the fraternities wouldn't let anyone African-American into their house. It escalated into the majority of the students surrounding the house, fighting anyone that left it, etc. The police came throwing tear gas. Dozens of students went the ER, and hundreds were miserable.

Second, some drunk woman was waving her mace key chain at a bar and ended up spraying the place. I was only a few feet from her. It wasn't as bad as the stuff the police used, but I sneezed for hours.

14. yeah by accident

A woman accidentally set off the can of mace she carried in her purse. I don't know if only a little came out or it really wasn't all that, but I didn't have much of a reaction.

and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
