I’ve known people who’ve done shit like that.

Like, actual ‘pocket sand!’, worked because their assailaint wasn’t wearing glasses, they then just ran away.

Obviously, no way to know if this particular tale is true or not, but its plausible, imo.

Its basically impromtu, ad hoc mace.

Fiddle and rifle through your pockets nervously, playing the part of scaredy cat, bully is boisterous and cocky, not paying too much attention…

Yeah, I can see this actually happening.

It would be awkward as fuck, but not impossible.
