Pepper Spray and Mullets

Recently when I was home visiting my family my brother and my father tried to press upon me the importance me carrying around pepper spray. Especially since, in their humble opinions, I tend to walk around in a general state of "I'm not aware of what's going on around me". I tried to explain to them that they don't understand what happens to me when I am in New York... I am not to be trusted with pepper spray. Here are some reasons why:
- Yesterday, on the subway ride home, some guy was using his cell phone as a boom box (no ear phones)...he sat there blasting his crappy music from 1993 -- If I had had some on me, I would have sprayed him with pepper spray.
- This morning, on the subway, some random guy followed me from spot to spot trying to talk to me. I had my ipod earphones in, reading a book and this a-hole is trying to hit on me (!). At one point he leaned over and plucked one of my ear phones out of my ear... -- would definitely have sprayed him with pepper spray.
-As I was waiting for the elevator some guy cut me in line and then preceded to tell me I had pretty eyes... It was a million degrees, 8:30am, and he just cut me in line after I had been waiting for 10 minutes -- Definitely would have sprayed him too.
-Once I was in the elevator some woman who works on the 22nd floor got in...mullet and all. Who still has a mullet?? It's ridiculous... it wasn't even a mini-mullet, it was a full fledged, it must be 1985 mullet. -- Out of principle I would have sprayed her too. Then I would have found out who cuts her hair (shame on them!) and gone and sprayed that person as well.

This is why I have no business owning something like pepper spray.
