    Walking home last night after a few shandies, this fella goes to me what are you looking at. Is there any answer I can give to this that won't result in a punch? I figured I was gonna get punched regardless of what I said, so I said an ugly cu*t. I got punched.

    What would you have said?

    "the man who just won a bag of extacy tablets"

    and thats when I gave him the roofies and sold his skin to catholic priests then flew away on a canoe made of his skeleton through the night sky on a beam made of rainbows circling the moon.

    I don't know, but it's looking back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,980 ✭✭✭Dotrel


    The correct answer is : Are you fúckin startin?

    (not really but he's more likely to back off than if you actually try to engage with him on any rational level)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,217 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    There is not answer, youve to respond first and foremost with a crack to his jaw. Then follow up with the knee.









    Or you could leg it..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,219 ✭✭✭woodoo


    There is very little to say. He has already decided to provide you with a punch at that moment. He is just kind of warning you of whats on its way.You would need to come up with something really good to get out of it. Or else just run away if he is big.

    Don't answer, just stand there and start shaking while trying to bite your ear.

    Your answer was fine. Just add c#ntbag. And hit him back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,113 ✭✭✭Lumbo


    When I was younger I would always say "nothing".

    When they asked again, I would say "I've already told you".

    These days I'd just kick them in the nuts.

    I'm fairly certain that would have turned that punch in the jaw he got to a kick in the bollix.

    Then run, or brain him when he turns around

    Start banging your head off the wall screaming 'Beelzebub Lord of darkness possess me'!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Look them up and down as if they are nothing and then say 'nothing'

    Then run like hell!

    Or

    aks them if they asked you something and who the fuk do they think they are talking to, because you have Alzheimers and forgotten.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    Pretend you misheard him and say "yeah..It looks like it's gonna rain alright"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    You don't have to say anything in those situations OP. Just pull the chord on the rape alarm in your handbag and someone should come to your aid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    A quick jab to the head before anything else is said. Usually someone that says that is looking for a fight so best course of action is to end it quick smart.

    Something obscure like "time passing me by in never ending decreasing circles" and watch for his confused expression. :D

    If he's less than five feet tall I'd tell him that I'm looking at ten years for GBH. If he's taller than that, I'll run down the road screaming like a girl.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Easy OP , you reply

    '' Ah Jasus Sean ...is it yourself ? ...how are ya keeping ?...how's your Ma '' ?

    He will be so confused happy you asked about his mothers welfare to argue with you .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,282 ✭✭✭MyKeyG


    Walk up to him and say 'Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around my eyes, look into my eyes, and you're under'.

    q: what are you looking at

    a: the wall, the sky, the cityscape at nighttime, the street light, you when you attracted my attention by interrupting my peaceful walk home with your unusually direct question.....the human eye is capable of detecting so much in such a short space of time..did you mean what was I looking at at the moment you started your question or beforehand?............why do you ask...what benefit is it to you to know what a complete stranger is looking at.....I dont really care but as a matter of interest what were you looking at?

    well now you can look at the sole of my boot scum!!!!!

    (I've always wanted to do something like this but in reality I would probably try to avoid the inevitable confrontation by ignoring him or saying sorry if that didn't work etc and walking on safe in the knowledge that if he did corner me and I thought he was a threat physically and I had no other option I'd gouge his eyes out for him before asking him what he was looking at)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 427 ✭✭scotty_irish


    I should add some cultural context. I live in Glasgow. And he was bigger than me. What reply can I give?

    Also, I could've chosen a better route home.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,145 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    What would you have said?
    Nothing. It's a rhetorical question that means "Stop walking so I can punch you."

    Similarly asking for a smoke is just a euphemism for asking you to stop long enough to for them to explain the terms of the mugging they're about to carry out.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭Stiffler2


    Nah, my favourite is

    "Do you have a fuc**n problem"

    No

    "Do you want a fuc**n problem?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,466 ✭✭✭Snakeblood


    'Please don't hurt me, I bruise like a peach'.

    I'm hoping for the turn away in disgust option.

    Atoms.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 Rwood


    You could try to get some enjoyment out of the punch you are about to get and make a statement along the lines of "a wonder of evolution" and when he asks "wha" just tell him a./ "The tallest pile of s*&te in a built up environment in the western world" or b:/ "the scrapings from the bottom of the gene pool" or c:/ "I don't really know I'm not an anthropologist but I'm not too sure whether or not it's an intelligent life form".
    Then have a grin to yourself while you await the punch or attempt to break the land speed record


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,144 ✭✭✭Scanlas The 2nd


    Confusion is the best bet.

    Something along the lines " In Belgium the bananas trees grow away from the sun, I never understood that" and keep walking as if all is normal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    Id just assume my fight stance and ensure he at least gets a bloody nose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,790 ✭✭✭Feisar


    No reply.

    Either run like the wind or fight like a berserk animal.

    Its to about "winning" a street altercation. It's about surviving one.

    First they came for the socialists...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,790 ✭✭✭Feisar


    How come this sort of stuff never happens me?
    Best I ever got was being called gay in a chipper years ago when I was out after my leaving cert.

    First they came for the socialists...



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭al28283


    my next victim!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    Just close your eyes, cover your ears and yell "Don't touch me, I have an erection".

    You may still get punched but at least you can call him gay after for touching a man with an erection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭Shiner11


    I would have rubbed my hands all over ur mans face and pretend to be blind.
    Gouge him in the eyes a few times while saying, "Thomas, is that you?"
    Then stumble away down the road until you're out of sight.
