 People with bad motives are everywhere. Sometimes even when you are at the comfort of your own home, there is still a possibility that you will be attacked by hoodlums. Motives differ; it might be because they are trying to rob you taking your money and your latest gadgets, or worse, they might be planning to assault you sexually. If ever you will be encountering this—but hopefully not—without real weapons, defend yourself using the unusual things that you see around that might save your life. 1. Flashlight. This can be used to momentarily blind your attacker. Just make sure that you have enough battery life in it to make sure that what you will be flashing at your attacker’s eyes will be blinding not just give him/her the chance to locate you. 2. Keys. If there is none in your reach to use as weapon to defend yourself against your attacker, then hold the keys between the middle of your fingers and use them in punching him/her. Just imagine yourself as Wolverine who uses his implanted razor-sharp adamantium blades to attack his enemies. 3. Pen. Perhaps you have heard of the saying “The pen is mightier that the sword”. Surely you are aware that the former will absolutely be useless if used in hand-to-hand combat. But in any case that you will be attacked and all you have is a pen, then use the pointed edge to stab your attacker in the leg to render him immobile. 4. Coffee mug. You can use this as a weapon by smashing it over your attacker’s face. This is even more useful as a weapon if it has a smoking hot coffee in it that you can use to splash it in his/her face followed by the mug smashing on the 2nd-degree-burned area. 5. Ashtray. Even smoking has an advantage in the context of “alternative self-defence”. Same as the coffee mug, use this as a throwing weapon and target his face, or if your attacker is a man, aim it at his crotch. The ash in the ashtray can also be used to blow it in your attacker’s face to temporarily distract him. 6. Trash can lid. Obviously you will be using this as a shield against your attacker’s assaults. If you want you can throw the lid towards your attacker like how Captain America uses his to attack his opponents. 7. Magazine. Roll this up and use it as an impact weapon. There is actually a better use to this depending on your attacker and the type of magazine in your possession. If your attacker is a male pervert and you are bringing an adult-oriented magazine, just flash it in his face to distract him. 8. Comb. Use this to rake across your attacker’s face repeatedly. Make sure to target his eyelids to blur his/her vision. This is much better if you are using a metal comb. 9. Smartphone. Now the thing that everyone has. This is an excellent impact weapon that obviously costs a fortune just for a one-time smash. Throw your phone in places such as the face or the crotch to stun your attacker for a short period of time. The bigger the device, the better. Safety is always a priority whenever, wherever. You may not be well trained in using your body to defend yourself against attackers such as martial arts, but there are always things around you that you can you use in order to at least stall your attacker for you to escape immediate danger.
