When you are so incensed and find your inner bravery!

I don't know if anyone saw a video posted on the internet yesterday of a lady taking on a man who was pestering young schoolchildren for their phone numbers. After checking that the large group of children didn't know him she told him repeatedly to leave them alone and go away. He argued a bit then noticed that the woman's friend was videoing him and left. The lady informed the school.
I hope I'd have done the same but can't be sure.
As people on here know I'm keen to complain about fairness though.

Two months ago on my local train 3 teenage boys swearing and then 2 got off the 3rd one wanted them to go too the city but they had to go home. He started banging his head on the window worst swearing you could think of he was shouting . So I told him if he wanted brain damage carry on and end up like a vegetable but shut your mouth. He looked at me and moved to another part of the carriage and was silent. I am disabled. A man said that's brave he could have attacked you told him I would have hit him my stick handle which is weighted. But knew he was a coward and playing silly buggers because he coukd still see his friends.

I have zero tolerance for bad behaviour being widowed since I was 45 had to fight a lot of battles on my own. Its people who turn a blind eye let's bad behaviour become the norm. I am 68

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Well said!

You’ve just reminded me of a story from my 20’s when commuting to London to work on a very very hot day.

We were crammed into one of those awful single carriages that trains used to have, two long seats and opening doors at each end.

It was stifling hot, dusty seats, and almost no room to breathe, with two men reading broadsheets wide open across their neighbouring passengers.

A young lady stood up and opened one of the windows just a tiny bit and then wriggled back into her place.

One of the broadsheet readers, a man in his 50’s, leapt up, and shouted in this poor women’s face “ASK, BEFORE YOU OPEN THE WINDOW” and slammed it shut!

I waited about 5 minutes, then stood up and very calmly asked “Does anyone mind if I open the window?” Looking pointedly at Broadsheet Bully.

No one said a thing, Broadsheet Bully hid behind his paper and a few passengers smiled wryly. I then opened the window halfway down and sat down.

When we reached our destination, Fenchurch Street, Broadsheet Bully pushed and shoved his way to be first out of the door, I was close behind him.

As I walked passed him on the platform I looked at him and said very loudly, “I feel sorry for your wife!”

I enjoyed the rest of my day, I loathe bullies.

Ten o'clock was opening time for the local pubs when I was at university, Retread, so the timing seems acceptable. Did she offer you a shot? Are you a non-drinker?

I'm not sure becoming "incensed" is something to get proud of.

There we are then!

If there is a genuine reason for it, then sometimes that's exactly what is needed!

Possibly vodka is incompatible with the type of illness for which the lady was having tests???

"It was her own vodka.
What was the problem ?

Agree with this. I can't see the problem.

I became very incensed and brave when a woman (a friend of a friend) I had put up in my home so she could be near the hospital where she was having tests, put her bottle of vodka on my kitchen counter and proceeded to pour herself a stiff double. It was 10 a.m.

My bravery 😂 was so incensed 🤣🤣 that she found alternative accommodation soon after.

I can remember all the way back at Senior school when a teacher made my friend cry! I was incensed and stood up for her and berated my teacher.

I often would find my inner bravery at work if I felt someone else was being unfairly judged or singled out in meetings.

I’m fairly laid back BUT if someone pushes me or presses the wrong button I’m more than happy to “bite back”

I loathe “unfairness” “rudeness” and “injustice”, those are the things which normally trigger me to speak out.

Yesterday we went shopping, to a shop selling farming equipment. There was quite an oldish man, perhaps late 70 s paying for something at the till. He stood there for quite a while afterwards talking to the two young girls behind the counter. I couldn’t hear quite what they were talking about but one of the girs said ‘You need a donkey.’ ‘Oh I have one of those,’ said the man. ‘The wife’. My mouth just opened and I said ‘Thank God I’m not married to you. ‘. And walked straight past him out of the shop.
