Default bus driver vs. meter maid vs. door salesman vs. air stewardess

Four of the most abused professions in the world take out their work induced, pent up rage on each other.

a) with 1 day of prep

b) no prep


The titles are just a common description. All four representatives are the same gender, either male or female.

I'd say the meter maid. They're considered law enforcement so they might have some self defense training. Also, the basic nature of their job means they're going to piss people off so I would say they would most likely to get into more physical confrontations than the other professions.

if, by door-to-door sales(person) we can include the Powerpuff Girls and Invader Zim then I think they take this pretty easily.

if, however, we're talking about just normal people then I think the bus-drivers take it. I haven't met any meter-maids, door-to-door salesmen, or airline stewardesses that have military training. and I've met an alarming number of bus drivers who've had combat training.

Your meter maids have legal authority? Cool.

Here they are merely punching bags. It wasn't until 2-3 years ago that they were issued spy-cams to record hostile encounters for evidence of assault.

Alarming number of combat trained bus drivers? O_O

I hope you didn't discover that the hard way.

Does this include Surfer's Paradise meter maids? Because one look at those specially hired ladies(aka testosterone magnets) and women will be bloodlusted, while men shall lose their will to fight altogether.

I say door salesmen on account of a massive abundance of self-loathing. They've got no pride and fight with nothing to lose.

Runner up to Bus Drivers, only if they get their bus as standard equipment.

a) With Prep, it's the bus driver. He will be able to drive his bus to the fight, and the rest of them just can't compete with that machinery. There might be a chance that a rare airline stewardess might be able to kidnap a jet, or the meter maid could steal some guns from the police station, but generally, it's a stomp for the bus driver.

b)Without prep, give me the air stewardess in an upset. They are probably the ones that have the most up-to-date hand-to-hand training (after 911), and are generally in the best shape of the bunch. Great sense of balance and they are used to deal with unrudy passengers.
