Is it normal that i think of tactics to escape if someone invades my house?

Is it normal that sometime I think of people invading my house and how I will knock then out and run away. And then when I'm on my period I think of pulling out my used pad and shoving it in their face before running away. Is that normal?

  • I keep a hatchet in my bed frame, within reach. And a switch blade in my bedside draw. No need to run 'cause there's only one way out of my house, in a body bag.

    No, I will shoot anyone who enters. I WISH someone would break in.

    Yeah, I'm not sure the whole pad thing is normal...but the rest of it is. I plan my run up to my apartment chances if someone were to get into the apartment block. When I'm at work, every now and then I rethink situations where I'd have to get the kids out and how to best do it, and the most safe ways of doing it.

    I don't know whether to laugh or say eww. I'm kind of doing both. Um, well, at least you've got it all worked out! I'm not sure how effective your plan will be if this actually does happen, though.

    Because of where I live, I only have a front door leading to the nave and no back door and the only other escape is through a window onto a very high roof (eek!) but I do have a crypt and a weird coffin-like space elevated about ten feet up above my bedroom. I sometimes think about my escape plan and it instead becomes a "hiding" plan. If I pulled my step ladder up into the coffin after me nobody could get me even if they knew where I was.

    I'd probably take a knife and insanely stab them untill they looked like emmental cheese. I'd have reason why did I do that and I have kinda gory fantasies and always wanted to try it.

    Better to have an escape and hide plan, rather than confronting the intruder.
    Then you MIGHT be able to sneak up on them and do the mother-fucker in. (But don't tell that to the police or law enforcement, speak with a lawyer FIRST before you answer any questions.)

    I do this all the time. Especially if I'm home alone. I was happy to move into my present first floor apartment though. My last was in the third floor and I didn't relish my go out the window shimmy down a tree plan. Id probably do better against a murderer then the heights.

    If your worried about it, take a self defense class & learn how to use a weapon. Don't have to be a gun if that's not your thing, but a knife, taxer, etc. Not much is worse then losing a fight in a life or death situation.
