I was in the library workin for my final years in college, and there are these guys makin a bit of noise next to me.
There were like 4 black dudes generally bein racist bout other races n stuff, but i was fine just doin my work. I got up to say something to this dude i know and 1 min later when i got back someone was sittin in my seat so i say (quote) “can i sit down mate?” and he goes “oh yeah sorry” and i go “cheers”
But he forgot to act hard, and so goes, “You coulda asked nicely” and his mates thought it was funny and i thought he was messin around, so i laughed too, and his mates were like “he’s laughin at u!” and i laughed more, thought it was just a big joke and then forgot bout it
Then, walkin home, him n 5 of his mates were behind me, and i had my walkman on, so couldn’t hear much. What i could though, was someone behind me sayin some stuff, shoutin, but didn’t pay much attention to it, didn’t think it was to me.
But then he keeps goin “oi” n cussin n stuffs so i finally hear him n take the headphones off my head, and didn’t recognise him cos a) he was now wearin a hat, and b) cos i never actually looked at him in the 1st place, i was just doin some work.
Anyways after I go “who the f*ck are you” and then remember, he just starts talkin crap bout how I should respect him, and just general fighti talk. He had scrunched up plastic bags in his hands, with something in the bags, and his mate took them off him so his hands were free, so i knew something was gonaa happen, at least that he had fighting in mind. He was standing really close to me - head butting/kneeing in the nads distance from me.
He then had his hands just above his belly, and sort of half pushed/half hit me in the top of the stomach, no harder than u would, say knock on a door. Obviously it didn’t hurt, my abs are strong but it wouldn’t ahve hurt anyone. I was just like “you need to learn some fuckin respect, not me”. Anyways, in the end, when he did sorta hit me i was like “just chill out man”. And we went our separate ways.
What would you have done?
I found it hard to forget, it only happened to day tho, but i was SO mad when i had walked for 2 mins on. I still am mad. Thing is he has LOOOOOADS of mates, who could backed him up etc, let alone the 5 or 6 behind him. I don’t realy have any mates anymore at that college - i only have 2 months there left, and i’ve stopped hanging around with my so called friends, who wouldn’t have helped anyways.
This is a bit wierd for me - i’m not the kinda person who gets started on, i dunno, the way i dress, the way i present my self… i dunno im not saying anyone would fear me or any crap like that, but maybe it’s just I DUNNO!
I am basically saying that i am annoyed that he thinks that i look like the kind of person he can treat like ****. Should i have done anything? Would you have? It’s hard to say, obviously, cos you weren’t there, but it’s made me REALLY mad, i felt like going back with a bloody baseball bat and teaching HIM some respect. But i gotta goto college everyday and run teh risk of seeing him n his crew, and thats why i didn’t do anything - i think???
