Weekend nights were generally spent with the girl friends, having fun and being carefree. However, that changed when one was victimized by a thug who took her bag and mobile phone.
After what happened to my friend, I got me a lipstick pepper spray as one of my personal security tools. My mother had been bringing one and was impressed by its protection. A couple of days after I bought one, I saw for myself how useful and potent it was.
One Saturday, I was in a friend’s place to celebrate her birthday. I volunteered to prepare the sandwiches in the kitchen when one of her male friends barged inside.
I could tell from the smell of his breath that he was inebriated. He was talking to me in such an ungentlemanly way and I got intimidated when he started to touch me. I shooed him back to the living room, but to no avail.
He did not listen to me as he continued with his offensive moves. I eyed my purse with my lipstick pepper spray inside and was ready to grab it if he became insistent.
I held him back temporarily when I said that I had to freshen up. He kept on with his harassing moves that I quickly got my purse, and without hesitation, sprayed the lipstick pepper spray with all my might.
As soon as his attention was on the pain that the powerful pepper formula gave him, I ran to report the incident to my friend. The night was a disaster for me, so I left the party early.
Personal security tools can be discreet like that of the lipstick pepper spray. No one would think that such an ordinary “girl thing” can be so potent and lethal, yet be a girl’s best friend. My favorite protection is now my friends’ as well.
