True story. When I was in college, I was placed in the athlete dorms despite not being an athlete myself. One night, I got into a confrontation with a few of the football players over the noise levels that I found intolerable. I was really losing my sanity that night, so I started shouting at them from the middle of the hallway. One of the football players, a 6'3-6'5 linebacker type who probably would have WRECKED me in a fistfight, came out of his room to see what was up. I gave him a crazy stare, like I was going to kill him, and he genuinely seemed frightened. I doubt he has ever encountered a 5-foot-nothing guy like me acting so boldly, so he probably didn't know how to react. I eventually got kicked out of the dorms after causing other disturbances, and somehow, my dad (who paid for it all) didn't give me any shit over it.
