If I'm home alone I'd probably sneak out the back door, write down the guys number plate (because you need a car to get to where I live) and leave him to it. I'm not going to risk my life when all they could take is a couple TVs.

If I had a young family, something uninsured and worth stealing or couldn't escape I'd probably grab a cricket bat and hope to hell he isn't carrying anything with more reach. Nothing would stop an intruding murderer like a pull shot to his cranium ;)
 
My home is being invaded. I confront the guy.

Several things could happen.

1. I'm going to either startle the guy, or he sees me, and get shot immediately.

2. He doesn't shoot me, and I ask him to leave.

3. He leaves and it's over with. I call the police and file a report.

4. He refuses to leave. I ask again. Still doesn't leave. At this point, all he should need to hear is the "ch-ch" from a shotgun, but if that doesn't work, he better watch out. I ask him to leave one last time. Still won't leave? Now he wants to harm me and get violent. Well, I hope you like buckshot being implanted into your brain.

New scenario:

Your car has been stolen and driven into a lake.
 
Home invasion - Issue a verbal warning, tell him he has a chance to leave with his life. If not, he doesn't leave.

Stolen car - Do what @Subarglue says, he's correct.
 
I can answer that.

Years ago, when I came home late at night, I heard a noise in my parents bedroom. I took my father's "airgun", I sneaked (snuck) up the stairs to see what was going on, just to find out it were my parents searching for something in the wardrobe.

It seems that I like to confront dangerous situations. :ouch: I have the same with aggressive dogs, which I confront if they come after me. It's all done intuitevely without thinking.

But seriously, I don't have a lawn. I live in an apartment. If someone invaded my home, I'll probably get an iron rod or wooden stick or something to defend myself and my home, since we ain't got no right to bear guns over here.
 
Over here, I don't necessarily need to worry about my assailant carrying a gun. I have a spare, very pointy cello end pin lying around in my room. I'd just run at them with that and hope they give up and run away.
 
If my home was being broken into, I'd hope our barking great dane and other dogs would scare them away before they would do anything. If not, I'd grab a knife, baseball bat, or rifle from my room and find them and try to disable them.

It's a boat. It will float. :sly:
 
If my home was invaded I'd grab my baseball bat and dislocate their kneecaps.

If my car was stolen, I'd ring the police and insurance company and then straight afterwards try and find it myself and if I found out who took it, I'd steal their car after breaking their legs.
 
For the last scenario, it can't happen as I don't own a car. If I did, I'd call my insurance and get them to pay for the damages as the car was locked when I left it. ;)

Hopefully some passer by will film the incident as he is pretty sure it was a lambo dude.

Then I'd get the video send it to my insurance company and cry as they take me to court for fraud as I can't afford a Veyron.
 
Hmm, I would grab one of the many knives off the various dinner plates in my room because I'm too lazy to take them in the kitchen or I would grab my 'homemade' crude baseball bat which isn't like your ordinary. I didn't round the top off to a smooth round like top, instead there is a pretty blunt edge to it.. that'll break anything on the human body. I didn't make it like that on purpose. If I didn't have time to grab those things, since I sleep in a bunk I'll just jump down on the person and beat the **** out of them. I'll post a picture of this thing. It's even heavier and thicker than your average baseball bat. It's basically a club.

New scenario: World ends in 3 hours. What do you do?
Click to expand...
Honestly, I can't say because it involves breaking the AUP.

Let's just say it has to do with a girl :D

Then get stupidly drunk, and hopefully pass out so the world ends and I'm not aware.
 
Steal a fast car or bike and speed down the country roads like a total maniac because there is nothing to lose anyway.
Then if I've survived the drive I'd get dirty with a couple ladies. And then I'd climb the biggest hill with the best view I can find in the remaining time, set up an extremely comfortable chair on top of it, let my ipod play my favorite music and watch the world end.
 
3 hours? Spend it with my kiddos. You know, driving through our local zoo. Driving through the local museum. Stuff like that.
 
I've got four kids. Two teenagers and three girls. The last three hours driving though mall hearing, "but Dad, I need those shoes! Stop. Got dammit stop. I hate you so much". Shoot. Me. Before. The. End.
 
New Scenario: Zombies. A spontaneous, quickly spreading outbreak starting somewhere in your county.


@Slash is pretty much prepared already.

Any more details? We're just sitting here on GTP and there's a sudden outbreak of zombies? You edited your post, ignore that first part.

In that case, I'd probably drive to our local regional airport (where I took most of my flying lessons), steal a 172R, and fly as long as possible. I'd take family and as much as I could if they weren't affected.

Go to the Audi dealer, ask to test-drive one of these, then head up to Canada at a high rate of speed. Diesel fuel economy would limit fill-ups (and possibilities of getting ambushed), and an 800 mile range at highway speeds means that I would still have a decent range near top speed. If the zombies discover Canada, then I'd have the car (and myself) shipped over to Europe.
 
Home invaded

I have some tools in my locked garage and one of those is a chain-saw. Problem half-solved

Stolen car

Police and insurance. The guy would probably be in the lake as well. I mean no one steals a car and then porpously drives it into a lake for the laughs.

3-hour world ending rush

Well. Get a gun, steal a Ferrari, run into another country, get stupid drunk have NSFW stuff, pass out and die in peace.

Zombis

I have chain-saws and axes for a reason. Armour a car, mainly a diesel, get guns and find the nearest GZ. Done.
 
Zombies? Same thing as before, though attempt suicide before I get eaten alive.
