Am I in the wrong????

vintage-x · 28 Jun 2009 at 02:29

Ok I was just out with some family on a night out and one of my reletives friends was outside.

I was out having a smoke and the guy started talking about how short he was so I said "thats ok mate the smaller you are the smaller places you can go"
He then got all offended and all his other mates started telling me to F off that im a tool and all that. The guy was angry so I did offer an apoligy but he wouldnt except and kept talking about knocking me out.

All I did was talk about how being small he can fit into smaller places. aparintly hes got some sort of "special ability" which is the reason he is so small but how was I to know no one told me and I did try and say sorry but he still wanted to fight me.

Was I wrong or was the guy just being a tool?

Haven't you ever heard of the 'small man complex'?

Generally, if you have to ask your self "Am I in the wrong?", then the answer is generally yes.

However, you'e had a few drinks, go to bed and sleep on it.

Should have let him fight you and held him at arms length.

GarethDW · 28 Jun 2009 at 02:33

you should've kicked him in the ovaries or something about nuking from orbit or other such nonsense.

Then put him in a head lock and repeatedly slap him on the top of his head.

This, also you should have asked him if he shopped at mother care

Excellent dead-pan right there, bravo.

Depends on a lot of things - the setting, previous body language/eye contact, any previous conversation, the way you said it, whether you made it very obvious it was a joke - the list goes on. It's difficult to judge those things and if in doubt it's probably best not to say anything like that unless you're 100% confident they won't take it badly.

Apparently I said to some guy in our local "when's it due?" because he had a bit of a beer gut. Turns out I was lucky that my dad and his mates were all sat around because he's a completely psycho and I'd have probably been beaten to a pulp! I clearly thought I was being hilarious at the time...

Viper² · 28 Jun 2009 at 02:38

Sounds like you're both tools.

vintage-x · 28 Jun 2009 at 02:47

Just found out that the guy had a Knife on him which he was going to use on me.
Im sorry but I dont care what is said if he is willing to go that far even though I said I was sorry he is the complete tool not me.

Viper² · 28 Jun 2009 at 02:48

SPECIAL ABILITY?! *sniggers*

I wonder how he would have reacted to you saying that to him.

:eek:

Just sounds like he's got little man syndrome.
