He broke my jaw, what should I do?

[Legion]

Tell him you forgive him. Assure him that you're serious. KEEP TELLING HIM YOU FORGIVE HIM, even at inappropriate moments, especially when he's sitting on the loo or somewhere where you could get your revenge.

If he's not checked in after a month, you're doing it wrong.

I have finally realised why you have that as your name now.

He broke your jaw.

Don't piss him off would me my best bet.

Quoted For Truth.

eye for an eye

Wouldnt it be "Jaw for a jaw" in this case?

Make fun of him for it for the rest of his life.

I dont think pissing off the guy who broke your jaw would be the correct way to go about living.

He did it while they were both drunk, I also don't think living in fear of your brother is the way to go either. Breaking someone's jaw doesn't automatically make you hard, especially as they were both drunk as aforementioned.

Cool down and think about it rationally. How can you best be compensated for your pain and suffering? If you get revenge, then you're even, and you get absolutely nothing except some mutual loathing. Doing nothing is better, but that just stops additional bad things, leaving you with nothing. The best option is to use your broken jaw, and hold it over him to extort him as often as humanly possible.

"Hey, could you give me a ride to the store? My cars not working"
"I really don't want to..."
"You sure? I mean, I could ride my bike, but the bouncing kind of hurts my jaw. Which you fucking broke"
"...fine"

"Hey Brother, mind paying for dinner?"
"Why can't we just split it evenly?"
"Well, I didn't want the family to eat at this expensive place. I wanted someplace cheaper. But the food here is so tender, its easier to chew. It doesn't hurt my jaw. Which you fucking broke"
"...ah...right..."

And here's the best part...

"Hey, this isn't fair. Every time you want to exploit me for something, you bring up me breaking your jaw. It's all I ever hear and it's not fair."
"You're right brother. I do exploit you by bringing up you breaking my jaw. Do you know why I can do that? BECAUSE YOU BROKE MY MOTHERFUCKING JAW!"

With a little deft social manipulation, You could probably coerce him into doing you favors at your retirement party.

You should get a blender, and eat everything through a straw...and make a point of the fact you are eating things that should never be blended through a straw.

I feel like that would be a good memory out of a shitty situation.

Also, to get back at your brother, you need to embarrass him socially. Physical pain is peanuts compared to long-term social stigma 8)

 

[Brad Shepard]

I keep seeing all this crap about "Forgive him." No, thats not how it works people, i dont care if he is your borther or what, he still is a human being, just because he is his brother doesnt mean he should be let of for this crap.

My brother stabed me in the neck with a pen, should i be so forgiving?

 

[wootsniper]

Huh? double post??

 

[Mechsoap]

well i would thank him firstly for setting a metal plate into my skull doing it impossible to get through costumes in the airport, else its your own fault haveing a fight with him

 

[wootsniper]

some interesting idea's but just forgiving him isnt an option, its not like were constantly fighting about it it, i mean most of the people who found out about it were more pissed off with him than i was. Him and me just sort of went back to normal, which is drinking buddies, not really brothers. But its was extremely painful, it fucked up my a-levels and most importantly i can't eat solid food and it got to the point where even the sight off food was making my vomit. I should probably mention this isnt exactly the first incident, there was the time a narrowly avoided him getting me in th face with a hammer, there is the time he beat the crap out of our little brother (including standing on his neck) and a fair few more

WHAT!?

I thought it was an 1 time accident.
You shouldn't just forgive him for that shit! Talk to someone about it cuz this isn't normal, he seriously needs help.

 

[Diligent]

I am sort of mystified at the amount of people with an "Oh well, shit happens" attitude.
Shit happens would be a hail storm smashing out your car windows, or your basement flooding, not somebody hitting you in the face so hard that it breaks your jaw. That's not an accident, no matter what anybody says. Unless he accidentally stood on the little brothers neck that one time too, and accidentally has a pattern of mildly violent behavior.

I drink quite a bit, and neither I or any of my friends have ever been in danger of each other. If alcohol can make him completely lose control like that, then he needs to quit drinking, forcefully if necessary.


Your family needs to make him to go a psychiatrist so he can sort his shit out.

EDIT: scratch mildly because I just read the bit about the hammer.

 

[Emilox The Great]

Use your Telekinetic ability and melt his brain. if you cant do that then i am out of ideas.

 

[jpoon]

Beat his ass with a bar of soap in a sock, while he's asleep. I think that would do the job, unless he's a big fucker then you better have a better plan ready for backup.

Edit: It really sounds like this punk has some serious mental issues regarding hurting people. Maybe he needs to spend some quiet time at the psych's office.

 

[Duskwaith]

Just let karma bite him in the ass

 

[Marmooset]

Whatever you do, don't get a cast. That'd make it hard to breathe.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

SUE! YAY SUEING!!!! SUE SUE SUE.

 

[ultimateownage]

Just try piss him off, do stuff he hates, if he asks you to stop refuse, it will annoy the living shit out of him.

 

[swolf]

Let him know that you are now permitted to take a free swing at him and whatever random moment that you want to, with out warning. That's what I would do. Oh, and make sure that you swing hard as hell, just don't use any weapons because that will just exacerbate the situation. That's what I would do.

 

[esperandote]

Is he older bigger stronger than you?

How old are you both?

Ask him to compensate you some way doing your shores, buying you stuff, giving you something of his as a gift or other stuff.

Oh sh*t man, that changes everything. Sounds like he's got issues. I would keep my distance. My older brother was kinda like that so the rest of my family got to the point of frustration that we just excluded him from everything. Also, when trying to include him, he would normally start an arguement when we didn't do things exactly as he thought it should be done. That's not acceptable and shouldn't be treated as such. My bro would've been arrested before except cops refuse to arrest someone who is mentally retarded.

 

[filiptom]

Take a swing at him, you'll feel better. Try not to hurt him though, aim for the stomach or something like that.
