About six years ago while I delivered newspapers, I came across this psycho bitch who said I damaged her neighbour's car with my bike and she ordered me to go inside so she can call the cops on me (it didn't happen, it was raining that day and I barely scraped the car with my postal bags, the damage she claimed was damaged paint, I brushed over it to show her it was just a streak of water). I refused and cycled away to go on with my paper round. However, her vile rottweiler came after me and she started freaking out on me. I guess that since then she has some sort of personal vendetta against me. She apparently has an elephant's memory because today, I met her again while preparing to deliver mail (I work at the postal service now).
I drove around a corner on a cycling path, close to a dog park where she happened to walk her dog. The first thing I hear is that fucking vile dog growling at me and jumping at me. I brake and don't look at the dog and keep my cool in order to show it that I don't mean harm. The first thing she says while staring me in the eye, is 'I fucking know you. You're the piece of shit who damaged my car'. I said, 'No, that's not true. That was water'. She says, 'well you're autistic so you don't know any fucking better'. I got so fucking mad, I leant over to her, stared her in the eye and said, 'You're glad I don't fucking knock you out cold right now' and cycled away. Of course the dog came after me.
I have to deliver mail right where she lives tomorrow and the day after. Knowing her past and her mental condition (she's been in a mental institution before, crazy thing is that they're not allowed to keep them in there if the patient believes they can be relieved), I'm afraid she might just be able to send that fucking dog after me to shred me to pieces. How the hell do I defend myself from that thing? I'm not that strong, so trying to beat it in a wrestling match would likely end up with me being shred to pieces. However I'm not gonna give up on delivering mail there just because she happens to live there.
I'm not afraid of her or her dog, it's just that I don't like the possibility of having my muscles torn off my bones.

What does that do to the dog?
The only good way to defend yourself from a dog as tough as those would be lethal. Stuff like mace wouldn't phase them and it would only agitate it more, most likely. In an actual scenario, they dont fuck around and tend to thrash about after locking their jaws onto something.
Besides, once it attacks you unprovoked and in the open, without cause, is enough to warrant euthanasia. Report the owner or something, that sounds like a very terrible owner for a dangerous dog.
Police are trained to basically break/dislocate both it's front legs by bending them sideways (upwards) if it lunges at you, which completely incapacitates the dog. I'm not saying I'm advocating breaking a dogs legs, but if you're being viciously mauled, it might save you.
rotties have lockjaw as soon as they grab you, similar to the way a crocodile does that "tuck and roll" maneuver after it latches on. best bet is a good punch to the snout because it's most likely the only thing you'll be able to grab. you'll never be able to choke it out, their neck muscles are real strong
Maybe not the mostly manly way, but if the dog comes charging at you, and she doesn't have it under control, lay down on the ground, in fetus position. Cover your head with your arms and your torso with your legs. The dog should soon lose intrest, unless she hasn't trained it ofcourse.
That, or you could punch it on the snout like a few posts above said, or kick it in the ribs.
OR, if you can, grab it by the neck, and push it to the ground on its side
I think traditional knowledge if you just want to minimize damage to yourself is to curl up in a ball and protect your face and arms (dogs tend to go for the face) with your back up. If you want to fight back im not sure theres a good way to go about it

common misconception no breed has the capability to lock there jaws they do however exert 250-300PSI through there jaws. Much like a human the best way to disable them is go for the eyes and nose throat not so much without a weapon
Can't you basically kill the damn thing and call it self-defence? I feel your pain though, I'm a 'postbezorger' myself too for Sandd. No vicious bitches in my delivery area though.
The real problem is that she really [I]is[/I] dangerous. Her son and husband committed suicide, probably because of her, and she spiraled into psychopathy ever since.
Another problem is that the dog IS vicious. It started growling really hard at an old man in a scootmobile. It's like she deliberately makes her extremely vicious.

You could call the cops.
Also, if the dog attacks you, and you kill it, it's self defence.

You know rottweilers are fucking muscular, right? I'm not all that hot of the idea of carrying a pocket knife with me when I'm just doing my fucking job man :v:
An alternative idea would be a syringe with water I guess, but I really don't want to kill it. There's already an ongoing process against her and the dog that calls for euthanesia. It already killed a little dog without any provocation on that little dog's side.

I probably wouldnt bring any sort of weapon with you. Seems like it would just muddy the waters legally if you do end up killing the thing, might start to sound more like you planned to kill it
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;45417182]Can't you tell your employer about her?[/QUOTE]
Already did, he's investigating who she is right now. She's trouble to anyone.
Also, what post company do you work for?
If you work for 'Sandd' I believe you can refuse to deliver mail to her house because it's unsafe, or atleast thats what my brother told me
Firebomb house
Can't you like make yourself big and hold you're ground while making growling noises to scare it?
Wear pads and gloves. Thick jeans to protect from any bodily harms. And do not ever run away or show your back. Stay calm if it ever try to attack you.
And a bone to play fetch game to turn down the gravity of situation :v:
Please have a friend with you to watch (and maybe record?) to see if anything goes wrong. If worst comes to worst, your buddy can get the dog off you. I wouldn't want to be alone in a situation with a crazed dog and an insane owner.
I think you could report this to the police and give your explanation. This is actually very dangerous and it's not worth to risk another possible attack that could leave you scared physically and mentally.
scratch it's belly
who knows
steel toed boots

kick that fucker as hard as you can if he comes after you
also running from the dog will encourage it to chase you and most likely bite you if it catches up, if you can't escape in time it might be better to stand your ground
A lot about how dogs react to you is in your body language, if you stand tall and either fold your arms or have your palms open, you look like something the dog is less likely to mess with, as well as appear less threatening to the dog's owner, whom they will protect by gunning for you if you act aggressive. Don't look the dog in the eye, this means you've acknowledged its presence and challenge. Sorry for going all Cesar Milan, just pretty much stand tall, remain calm and un-aggressive and wear heavy boots.

Unless you are thinking of stopping it at range i.e. with a weapon then you ARE going to get hurt, there is no magic way to face a dog and come out without scratches, cuts and blood.
My parents owned a rescue dog who had been brutally mistreated and distrusted everyone to the point where she would attack everything if you approached her wrong and would be incredibly brutal and that was just a Bull Terrier
point is, if it does go for you, fangs and claws etc, you'll get hurt, maybe consider wearing some easily concealable armour like shin-pads for that section of your delivery if you honestly think you'l be attacked
I don't know if this is good advice or not, but I've heard that if you're being attacked by a wolf, you must shove your fist down its throat. This chokes/suffocates it. I figure it may apply to a large domestic dog as well, but it involves you getting closer to the gnashing teeth, not further away, so I'm not sure how viable it is. That or get steel-toed boots so you can kick the thing proper hard when it gets close.
In any case, what a cunt for calling you autistic.
Make a police report telling them that she has been harassing you, then if you have to hurt her dog in defense you have that to back you up and she can't say that you were the one to be aggressive and hurt her dog. Also maybe if you complain to the police enough they will investigate and she will get scared and leave you alone
Also, if you [I]are[/I] attacked (hopefully not though.)
yell and scream for help
protect vital areas, Face, neck, chest, groin.
use your weight, you outweigh this dog almost by twice but dogs[I] CAN KILL[/I] and WILL if they are pushed far enough, if it does sadly come to you against it. (and i'm not trying to sound like a psychopath here..) but you need to crush it, break it's bones or kill it.
You life is infinity more worth while than any dog's
if you're absolutely sure that you're about to be immediately attacked, kick the dog as hard as you can in the ribs / abdomen area
buut probably not though. you can definitely outlast a dog on your bike
can't you just refuse to deliver mail near her house until it's resolved?
feed her mail to her dog
