Beware when jay walking

A little old granny took on a 25 year old guy for crossing the road before the green light came on - read about it here
Only in Germany!

Woah!

Talk about living in Germany too long...

I'm trying to picture my granny doing this... classic
*scans post for spell check*

That wasn't in Munich, though.
I can't see it happening over here, can you?
Maybe somewhere in the outskirts of the city, but not in the U-Bahn Bereich or anything.

I'd be more embarrassed about getting my ass kicked by a 77 year old!

Just saw a report that he was drugged up at the time and she didn't grab him until he threw his rucksack at her, after she warned him about crossing on a red light.

Ninja grannies from hell!!!

if i got my ass kicked by an old woman, I'd blame it on drugs too

I cross the street at red lights any chance I get just to see the outrage plastered on the Germans faces - I usually get a few shouters and passive aggressive sighs as well. I mainly get a huge sense of satisfaction from knowing that I have not yet turned into "one of them".

Is the granny Mosh Girl? They should make her the Mosh Granny oder?

@ChemicalBurn
Indeed! On top of everything else, he apparently started it by bumping her with his backpack!

He just got owned, plain and simple.

@why8 - that mosh girl is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time I'd love to see her in more pics!

Good for granny. Damn jaywalkers.

I really want to know what he was on! I mean HOW MUCH drugs can you do, so that you can possibly get your ass kicked by a 77 year old. Some women that old need help crossing the street, better yet pull off a judo trick on your ass!

i got told off today by a granny in a swimming pool for making her hair wet.
told her to go home and end her sad existence. she left the pool.
hope to hear about it in the papers tomorrow.

*waiting for someone to post scary pics of a granny mosher*

It's not like he can fight back. If a 77 year old granny decided to kick my ass, there would be not much I could do about it. Apart from run off.

I think simlply speed walking would do. She pinned him down untill the police came!

yeah you can! look round to make sure nobodies looking and a quick elbow to the jaw should keep her down for a while.

I love it!

Damn Germans

How can I manage now?

My office is bang opposite to a U/S bahn station, and everybody cross the road without any signal or anything?? I hope I won't get any granny... to kick my ass

Generally speaking, I don't cross against a red light but sometimes people stand there for ages when there is nothing coming for a clear mile in either direction!

the fine is 5 euros isn't it?

i'm sure someone was telling me a long time ago that they got caught for it.

he could just pay the fine, and then charge that psycho granny with assault (although the synthetic chemical composition of his blood at the time may well work against him in court...)

I always cross when the man is red (within reason) just to participate in my favourite sport - frying german's brains. When one of them says to me " Crossing whilst the man is red is forbidden!!", I look them in the eyes and calmly say, "Yes, I know"

cue smoke coming out of ears...zzrrkkkkkkkkk...error!...Does not compute!!zzrrkk..

SO much fun..This also works for any other similar situation (Parking in a feuerweg, having a bike on the train etcetc)

Maybe we don't need to arm policmen afterall- it would be enough to supply grannys with weapons.

Granny foils intruder with gnome
A Cornish grandmother is being hailed a hero after taking on a night time intruder with a garden gnome.
...
Mrs Collop says she would not hesitate to take action against an intruder again but might think twice about her choice of weapon.

Along similar lines, I like to not volunteer my ticket on the train. I.e. when the schaffner comes around asking "Jemand zugestiegen?" I remain silent, even though I have a ticket. The sense of protest from my fellow travellers is palpable...Seriously is the person riding schwarz really gonna volunteer "Oh yes, I just got on, but I don´t have a ticket..."

I got yelled at once by a women with kids fo crossing on the red- I yelled back its not my responsiblity to raise her children, its hers to teach them right and wrong.

Wow Lupo, what blatant rebellion against authority!
