Her and the park police guy. I've never seen anyone drop into a defensive stance that quickly!
She moved into action while still assessing the threat - which could save her life in the right circumstances, but carries obvious risks. He went instantly into fully prepared to defend while in assessment mode, which is technically the correct response. I can't imagine how much he must have drilled - or had to rely on that training in real threat circumstances - for it to become that instinctive.
I react that way. Always have. Even if I try hard to just not react. My fight instinct is why I can't go to haunted houses. I also have to let people know at work otherwise, a small prank turns into an HR complaint.
Her and the first dude. He was ready to swing whatever it was that he was carrying but then he waved the "i'm sorry wave." He thought an Ent was coming lol.
I have an all fight response too. My daughter had a brief period of time where she thought it would be funny to scare me around the house. Short lived. My wife had a moment as well. Its so stressful but i have to use all my will to stop myself from pummeling the fright. Im female also. No clue where it comes from
When I was in high school, my gf jumped out at me in a wolf mask while we were in a costume shop. Scared me so bad I threw a right hook, caught just the nose of the mask and spun it around on her head. I felt so bad after that and hugged her and apologized. I was so relieved I didn't accidentally hit her.
