LOL
Even if you provoked his retaliatory insult?
Are you that chav?
i said in my post i wouldn't to that... exept when im drunk.. i cant control that kind of thing and get angry and annoyed with people too quick....
no.![]()
Agreed! Ignoring is the absolute best you can do.This is spot on, from the op's picture you can see why a chav would target him (slightly passive/geeky look about him), thats an observation not an insult by the way.
This guy was obviously a bully and he singled out the OP, from there you have two options.
1. stand up to the chav (as you kinda did)
2. ignore, disengage said chav.
I know its easy for me to say this as I wasnt there but theres been a couple of occasions in the past 6 months since moving I've had two similar encounters.
One was when a guy followed me off the train, I had my headphones in but heard him shouting, asking for a light. I didn't acknowledge him and kept walking, he followed me for a bit (while continuing to ask...like i would suddenly turn around and whip out a lighter...duh!) and after a while gave up. There had been a few reports in the news the weeks prior to this where people had been mugged/beaten up with chavs like this using the 'have you got a light?' line to distract people so they could hit them unaware.
The second was a group of chavs, I was walking past them (they going another way) and two of them started mouthing off at me (had saw them giving grief to 2 other guys that had passed me slightly earlier) I just glanced over and kept walking on course.
My point here is that you don't need to acknowledge every interaction that presents itself to you, often disengaging from what is happening and continuing to walk on will see the chav get bored and look for a reaction elsewhere.

I got hit last night too because of my big mouth. Friend was giving someone some verbal and the guy said he was going to knock us both out.... i laughed and quietly said "i'd love to see that" as i was turning around to leave and he came over and lamped me. My own fault really.
I was drunk though and don't really remember after that but apparently i hit him back as did the cocky mate i was with and the other guy hit one of the girls he was with by accident while swinging for us so we made sure she was okay and headed off. Seemed a rather civilised departure considering what had happened moments before.
Luckily your face heals pretty quick so you should be on the mend and back to normal in no time.
Op your no better. He sterotyped you. You've sterotyped him.
Prehaps you deserved a punch.

He is better, he didn't instigate, and he didn't resort to violence, after almost identical and somewhat petty provocation.
