Guess you shouldn't have treated him like a redneck, eh. If you don't know what to do, maybe you provoked it.

I wouldn't be on here asking people what to do. I'd have kicked his ass. 6 foot 6 or whatever. If I couldn't then I would've fucked him over somehow. If he had no reason to do this then what's he still doing working with you? I'd be calling him "redneck" every second he passed me at the hagwon: "How ya doin', redneck?"; "What's up, redneck?"; "How are your classes goin' today, redneck?"; "When are you goin' back home, redneck?"; "Haggie boss wants to see you, redneck". Actually, that last one's good. Then haggie boss will invite you into a meeting after he goes to him and then it'll all come out.

Based on Jay-shi's candor (even in the face of some real bonehead accusations), coupled with his level-headed posting habits throughout his past year and a half on the board, it would be nice to see the amateur social psychology wolfpack to back off and cut the guy a little slack.

Too much alcohol can make otherwise good people do bad things. Sounds a bit like what went down at my Christmas party this year. Shit happens. Forget about it and don't go drinking with him again.

Glad to see things worked out to an acceptable conclusion. Hope the atmosphere improves.

Your dad sounds like a tough old man. The look on that kid's face when your dad jumped up and beat his ass..must have been funny.

I didn't say nothing about knocking nobody out like a spaghetti western...

But trust me, if you do get a bottle smattered over thy skull, you'll, at the very least, regret having ever mindlessly targeted me to vent your frustrations. Maybe not before, during, or directly after it breaks... but in the morning. If you've got five inches and fifty pounds on me, well, there isn't shit I'm gonna do to you to win, but by God, I'll make you feel it in the morning.

@jayshi

Just for the record I think it's much better to talk it out like you did and solve the problem amongst yourselves if possible. I probably wouldn't have involved the director but if you really did feel a future threat than I understand that course of action.

@bellum

My dad told me it was pretty disturbing. The kid was crying and panicking at the end. My dad never really harped on the situation though. He put the blame squarely on the father of the kid.

@n3ptne

I apologize for misrepresenting your previous post. I assumed that you did not have first hand experience with smashing bottles over people's heads. While my experience was only second hand I can tell you that bottles leave deep and nasty wounds. I really believe that when that kid climbed into the truck he thought one good crack and he would knock the driver out. But as you pointed out bottles do much more damage. I appreciate that you clarified that in your last post.

Cheers
