Why do people act like this?

I'm pretty sure you posted something along the lines off that you didn't want to walk out to alert staff as doing so would mean you would have had to walk past them/come into close contact.

Surely that is intimidation no?

well it was more to do with the fact that if I walked past, and a few minutes later they get chucked out, they'd know it was me

I've learnt the semi-hard way that in order to deal successfully situations like this, you either have to be huge and scary, or have a few mates with you. Otherwise, just go tell the staff.

Oh and thanks Dons :)

Just get yourself to a proper martial arts or self defence place. Explain your needs and explain your only interested in dramatic defense. Dont go for karate, its rubbish out on the street where you have no room.

Whenever I hear about something like this it just gets me really angry, how can people behave like this towards someone else?

I think there are only two ways to deal with people like this:

1. Back off/walk away.
2. Pick the biggest from the group and take him down, not hard if you surprise him and will make the other, smaller ones think twice.

Personally I don't think it's often worth doing 2 and almost any situation, if handled well, can be resolved without the need for violence.

I remember couple of months ago I was going through a park happily munching on my tasty samosa and suddenly this group of 5/6 college idiots came up to me and one of them asked if I had a pound. I politely replied I didn't even though I did.

Next thing you know he headbutted me and I got angry aswell and shouted 'you are welcome to fight' and that heated up the moment :D. Basically I was surrounded by all of them and it nearly ended in fighting. One of them who was sensible enough decided to intervene and took back rest of his mates apart from one and this guy wouldn't leave me alone.

He came infront of me and I was also looking directly into his eyes like how boxers look upon each other during weight session. He kept on going on about how he actually saved me from his gang and next time he would kill me lol. He smelled of alcohol aswell.

The way I see it these guys come probably from broken poor families and find it cool to stick in the gang and harass innocent people.

OP I am all for sending these kind of idiots to Iraq and Afghanistan and lets see how threatening they get down there:D. I bet they wouldn't survive even 5 mins in those environments.
 
Lol at the irony-the manager at the cinema last new years eve threatened to throw me out for being sarcastic but they still let you stay if you are being really abusive and annoying throughout a screening?

Two blacklines is known to be an idiot and was recommending palm strikes earlier in the thread (and let us not forget why hes not welcome in Motors any longer), but a broken clock is right twice a day. Take up boxing, kick boxing or MMA, not some pathetic mcdojo martial art. The only "martial art" worth knowing for street self defence is Krav Maga, all the others are glorified ballet or only useful in combat sports.

Karate is rubbish, but its not because of the "lack of room outside".
 
stuff like this and the fact that my local cinema is poo poo and pricey makes me think HD home cinema all the way , not that I shouldn't have to consider such a thing to see a movie

I'm really sorry OcUK.
I'm still very cut up about this event, and very disheartened. I know that you've all been trying your hardest, and been very helpful with advice and support etc. But I cannot shake the paranoia of seeing them again. I know that first of all, the chance of seeing them in Harrow is not high, but if it's the place they hang around, then it's not exactly low. Secondly, if I see them, there's a chance that they won't see me. If they see me, there's a chance they won't recognise me. If they recognise me, they might not do anything, they might shout out some abuse or they might actually come up to me.

So being an avid mathematician, I can see the chances of being bothered by the same people are extremely low. Then why can I not shake off this paranoia, 2 days after the event in question? :(

If this has been the first time this has happened to you, then it is understandable, I've been through this sort of thing many many times (I grew up in a third world country, so Its far worse and happens very often)...

If you can't get rid of your paranoia after a few days, my advice would be to seek advice from your GP, they might be able to get contact with someone that specialises on mental/emotional issues...

Ok thanks, yes this is the first time. I got on the bus today and I was going in the opposite direction, and until I was actually outside, I'm not going to lie, I was a little cautious.

I'm acting like a pussy, I know, but I can vent here;
