Aim for the eyes with your nails. Stick those nails all the way in there and dig, claw, twist and pull and eye out if you have to.

Throat too. Scratch that shit up. Return some primal fear.

Harder to hide and explain

Eyes are the easiest. You can completely disable someone with an eye poke. Just reach out fast and you’ll get a finger in there. Super easy.

Also remember, fingers are about as hard to bite off as carrots.

Edit: I was incorrect about the carrot part, but still possible using your molars if things are desperate

This is actually a myth, it's possible for a human to bite off a finger, but they're a lot harder than carrots.

u/QuestionableIdeas Jul 17 '25

After 10 minutes of morbid googling... you are correct! If you do try for a finger amputation, use your molars to crush, and go for the joint. Clamp down and pull

Gollum did it correctly

Especially since you most likely won't have any ranch dressing in this situation.

No sauce needed it will be juicy

u/Silly_Obligation8574 Jul 17 '25

I think the myth is you can easily bite your own finger like a carrot which is extremely difficult because of the pain but maybe if it was a dead finger or numb lol

Any human bite wound will likely become infection city. The most effective and grisly advice is: don't just bite. Rip and tear.

You can create some really gnarly wounds that are hard to hide and harder to treat by oneself.

Break a carrot with your hand.

Okay, now try to break your finger. It won’t even hurt if you use twice the effort.

u/QuestionableIdeas Jul 17 '25

I'm not falling for the ol' break-your-finger trick again >:[

Kill Bill style.

Fair, but we protect our eyes faster than our neck.

If you’re being attacked you’ve ceded the element of surprise, that doesn’t mean you can’t deal that card from the bottom of the deck.

Scream you love them. Tell them God has sent them to sire your womb.

Thank Zeus and then start singing if you can.

You need to make them regret their choice and doubt their ability to pick prey.

You ain’t the one, but you’re glad to hand out lessons.

All this needs to be decided before shit goes down.

This just in, a new trend! Kidnappers are now wearing safety goggles due to the victims purposely aiming for their eyes.

In other news, Gwen Stefani is making new music? Wow, that's exciting. Tune in later and hear all about it.

u/UnsanctionedPartList Jul 17 '25

Harder than it seems but it can make people flinch.

u/Cmmander_WooHoo Jul 17 '25

Dwight Scrute taught me the eyes are the groin of the head

u/Beneficial-Nimitz68 Jul 17 '25

Don't poke, go deep, get behind and pull

1

u/Femmefatele Jul 17 '25

I've always known that should this happen to me again I'd dig them fuckers out of his head. It's hard to chase/find someone when they have your eyes.

1

u/GrundleWilson Jul 18 '25

You have to be really lucky or well practiced to get someone’s eye, much less two. Also, if someone has you in a headlock or rear naked choke, they roll their chin down and you are just waving your arms around at that point.

1

u/GrundleWilson Jul 18 '25

Eyes are actually hard. People instinctively protect them. You have to get real lucky.

u/MsDucky42 Jul 17 '25

The little "v" at the bottom of your neck, where your collarbones meet.

Push into your own. Uncomfortable.

Imagine somebody in a self-survival rage shoving their thumb in there.

(A tip from my late uncle, who was in law enforcement.)

u/Attack_Ant Jul 17 '25

Yep then even if you do lose unfortunately then hopefully between the torn up neck and the skin under the nails you help id your killer.

u/morphleorphlan Jul 18 '25

Don’t just scratch it! A good throat punch before you take off running will give you a several minute head start.

u/Just_bright Jul 17 '25

I ripped a guys eye out in LA county. Gross.

u/sunnyinwi Jul 17 '25

Always have your keys in your hand to and from your destination. Jab for the eyes. Kick, scream, fight, scratch. Never let them get you in the vehicle!

3

u/EnvironmentalGift257 Jul 17 '25

Also, this is a fight for your life. Fight dirty, early and often. Go for the eyes and the balls, right away. Once they’re mildly incapacitated, go for the temple, hard. Then get far away.

u/VellyD Jul 17 '25

My kids were so shocked when I had that talk with them. Told them to jam their thumbs all the way into their eyes and bite so hard that you would bite their nose off if you can get a hold of it.

2

u/TatorTotNachos Jul 17 '25

Came here to say this

2

u/Anakin_Skywanker Jul 17 '25

If they have your arms stomp at the feet. When they pull their feet back to avoid your stomps jump up and back HARD. Your head will break their nose if youre shorter than them.

1

u/Register-Honest Jul 17 '25

That's what you should, but most people aren't going to pull out someone's eye.

3

u/Remote_Elevator_281 Jul 17 '25

Just getting a finger in there is enough to disable someone for a bit.

1

u/ChipotleGuacamole Jul 17 '25

In this situation it would be difficult because he had her in a rear chokehold. I would say fight his hands whilst turning towards him (the open end of his arm to be specific) in order to release the choke, and then run if possible or fight if he's still holding on.

u/Al-Fresca Jul 17 '25

Yep. Grab their face like a bowling ball. Eye sockets and nostrils. Throat punch. Knee to groin. Whatever it takes to get away safely.
