Hot coffee is a seriously undervalued self-defense weapon.
Look, I’m no thief, but if I was, I would NEVER DREAM of trying to rob somebody holding a cup of hot coffee.
If you have a can of pepper spray in your purse, the thief won’t see it, so he’ll approach you thinking you are unarmed. You know when he’ll find out that you had pepper spray on you? After he stole your purse and is rummaging through his take for the evening.
If you have a permit for a concealed firearm, which you keep in your purse, he can steal your purse before you even pull out your pistol!
No.
Carrying a hot cup of Colombian roast, however—that’s like walking down the street with an unsheathed samurai sword. Everybody will see, before they even try to rob you, that you’re capable of inflicting exorbitant amounts of pain at a moment’s notice.
Whenever you feel it’s necessary, you can make somebody squeal in pain if they threaten you—all you have to do is throw the hot coffee at them, which you already have in your hand, ready to go.
To all easily-threatened readers of The Daily Clot, seriously reconsider your self-defense strategies.
Coffee is the way to go.
Until next time,
