How to react in this situation?


I seen a near altercation. A man was talking on the phone in a store. Another man came to his side to get an item. The man on the phone took an offense and stuck his elbow out to deter the other guy but he just ignored him and walked on.

Now if someone made intentional physical contact like that with me, I'm not sure how I'd handle it. What do you think is the correct way to handle a situation like that?

SLAP HIS FACE.

With what? 🍆

That zucchini is very purple and appears enraged.

I'm usually for de-escalation. I'd either ignore it, or just say sorry and go ahead with what I was doing.

reply

After thinking about it, I think ignoring it would be my best bet in a similar situation.

reply

“or just say sorry”

You are sooo Canadian, lol.

reply

See another Canadian would know that I'm actually saying " I'm sorry you're such a jerk, but I'm just gonna go on with my day and not bother with you."

Sorry here has many different meanings.

reply

I’m sorry.

reply

Yeah, no. It doesn't work with foreigners. 🤣🤣

reply

Sorry?

reply

One day if you come to Canada you might get it.

Sowwy 🥹

Lol. I dont have an eastern accent.

reply

I’d probably make a joke and laugh it off.

reply

That may work or it could antagonize the person even more.

reply

I can run fast, lol.

reply

Before you do anything, ask if this situation is worth you going to jail?

Unless you're defending yourself or someone else, probably not.

reply

That’s always good advice.

reply

Of course. But as long as we're making up funny scenarios I would use a Mac-10 to kill everyone in the grocery store because they kept going near me Lucky Charms!

reply

One word - “Roadhouse!”

reply

I would've said excuse me, I need to get this particular item and thank you and walk off

reply

That’s far too sensible - channel your inner Bruce Lee.

Stab him three times in the kidney with a screwdriver and slap my balls on his cheek when he falls down.
You gotta send a message man.

I hate impolite shoppers.

reply

You need to urinate on him too.

reply

Yes, I left out this important step but only because I don't want to be banned from Walmart!

reply

Clean up in aisle 2.

reply

Aisle 69 is a bad mess, bring a few mops and some illegal migrants who won't ask any questions!

reply

All a moot point anyway, as I never venture into the halls of the many foods.

reply

First, I hate idiots who carry on phone conversations in a store.

I would be intent on getting the item I wanted. I would not give up and leave. I can't imagine him not backing down. But if he didn't, sorry, there would be a fight.

reply

I’m too busy to answer - I’m on the phone with some idiot who’s in the store.

reply

I'd definitely tell him to take his hands off of me.

Are you sure the second guy wasn't being annoying, though?

reply

Release the whip 💥
