Confrontation Yes/No?

As far as I'm concerned pointing out he's a dirty piece of human effluence is the correct way. Utter animal.

Seems quite a harsh snap judgement based on the one act. Do you make other snap judgements based on anything else about a person?
 
Honestly, I'd have said something back. Not necessarily aggressively, but at the very least a 'pardon?'.

As I approach my 30s, I get less and less tolerant of people with attitudes. One of the reasons why I will never willingly choose to have kids. Too easily irritated by other peoples irritation.
 
They do get unfairly labelled don't they? I've been harsh on pigs here. I apologise to the porcine species.

But what would you have done in this situation?

1) Felt it was not worth the agro
2) Faced him and said a few words back?
3) Hit him

4) Thought OMG I almost stepped in some dog poo, then thank the friendly passerby for warning me.
 
I treat people how they treat me.

I reflect peoples behavior towards me.

Someone has an attitude with me? I give it right back. Two fold.

Someone is polite with me, I'm polite back. Two fold.

Someone wants to fight me, I'll get savage.
 
Clearly the answer here is to be less Beta.

Had he sensed that he was in the presence on a true Alpha, he'd have walked past without saying anything and merely cast a submissive look in your general direction.
 
Depends on the situation. I might have said some choice words or I might have totally ignored it.

When I'm at work I'm a little more reserved and usually in a disagreement I try to remain calm at all times and just maintain the high ground.

Out and about with strangers I'm less courteous. If somebody tries to intimidate me I will match them. Usually when people realise they can't bully you and they risk getting a beating then they completely back down.

Napoleon once said "men are motivated by two levers. Fear and self interest".

If you can put your hand on that lever you will be surprised at how malleable people can be.

Ever heard of the Betari Box?

If not, you've just defined it almost perfectly!
 
Sometimes you just have to move on. Had a chav shout abuse at me a few years ago and figured he probably was either mentally unwell or just wanted to go back to prison...or both.

Funny thing is, since I have bulked up in the gym it doesn't happen anymore. Actually, last time it happened the guy took one look at me and decided to verbally abuse the person next to me instead.
 
Don't even need to bulk up, just bert stare them and if that doesn't work drop your pants and start screaming cauliflower at the top of your voice.
