Placate

Two years ago I got called into work on a post for my job with security. It was some shady apartments on South Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando Fl. The street was nice during the day but night time was the danger zone. Any bad thing you can think of was happening on that street and I honestly didn’t like being there but I got used to it.

One day there was almost a fight at the apartments I got called into. I was also working with someone else too but he wasn’t no help lol( Just Saying). Two mans started arguing but I forgot why. I stood right in between of them. I was strong enough to keep them apart.

I quickly realize these dudes didn’t want to fight, they were just acting tough in front of their wives or girlfriends because they were both watching.

I got their attention by calling them pathetic. I wasn’t supposed to say that, it just came out but they both got quiet. I was able to question them and allow them to explain themselves. In the end, it was all a big miss understanding.

I was proud of myself at the end of the day. It’s kinda hard to calm people down when they heated like that but I guess luck was on my side that day. Also, remember words can calm someone down and my co-worker, he was still no help.

I hope you’re having a good Friday!!!
