Threatened by a scally.

[Faust66]

In my experience with Chavs/Scallys/Neds the ones that say "I'm gonna batter you innit, blud" are the ones that rarely do. It’s the ones that lunge at you with no warning that you have to keep an eye open for. The mouthy little sods tend to back down when you realise that you are not intimidated. They will retreat to a safe distance and THEN embark on a tirade of abuse and threats…

It's always worth remembering that to them the risks of getting involved in a fight are minimal: probably already have a police record as long as your arm and no job to lose. You are likely to have a job, mortgage/rent, kids you provide for and other reposnsibilities to consider.

Over the years I've had a lot of grief from the little scumbags (they don't like blokes with long hair). To be fair though they tend to give everyone hassle, so it's good that they have embraced diversity!

Many years ago a mate of mine was walking home late at night through East Kilbride when a bunch of neds (Scottish version of scally) tried hassling him for money. He was a pretty peaceable soul and tried to avoid controntation, but they carried on and eventually it looked like they were going to get physical.




















He was on his way home from the shooting range.

















They soon left the scene - rapidly...

I hate tts like this, and everyone else tries to keep their heads down and pretend like it's not happening.

Similar sort of story I was stopped at some lights in town, some guy washing windscreens on the car in front, unfortunately these lights stay red for some time. I'd just picked up the car a couple of weeks ago so was insistent I didn't want him touching it. Anyway, he comes over to my car, I say I don't want my windscreen washed he asks why. I reply and say the car is new, I'd prefer if he didn't touch it. "Ok give me some money then"... I think I replied fk off. He kept asking for money, I almost construed it as give me some money or Ill boot your door in.

Anyway after being told I didn't want him touching my car he went on to say "well its not your car is it?"... what? "show me the logbook" I told him to fk off and the lights changed.

I do wonder if he just bullies people into giving him money so he will leave them alone, not like you can go anywhere.

They are a cancer on society, and it's true what someone has said above. The shouty ones are all just that, shouty. All about intimidation, and when you turn on them, they soon shut the fk up. They've got absolutely nothing to back it up.

Cockroaches, the lot of 'em.

But they're entitled, innit.

It wasn't this guy was it?

No he wasn't half as nasty as that guy.

You did the right thing. There's really too much to lose by getting into a fight with an idiot like that.

However, you should really call the police and report it. There will be CCTV from Sainsburys and the police will probably know the guy you're talking about when they see him. Attempted mugging / threatening behaviour - there has to be an offence for this... Don't let him get away with that behaviour without consequence.

Agreed.

The last time I got threatened I really wish I had called the police.

I owned a retail business in a shopping centre and one of the maintenance staff threatend me with violence over a parking/loading space. The space was mine as I paid rent for it, and it was in a gated area. He had been let is as a favour by the security staff, but had no allocated space to park so just blocked me in.

I left it for the centre management to deal with (the whole thing was captured on CCTV) but the bloke had serious anger management issues. I really wish I'd involved the police as someone that obnoxious and angry will no doubt carry on until he's done someone serous harm.

[theguvernor]

I finished work Friday night (well saturday morning circa 4am).
For once, i'd managed to get a space directly opposite where i was working, instead of in a quiet side street where i usually park.
Anway, said parking space meant i was in the main street where all the clubs kicked out (i know bad idea, but i also had a lot of heavy gear to load up that i really didn'y want to take up 3 flights of steps).
Anyway, begin to cross the road & walk to my car, only to notice 7 lads sat on/leaning against my car.
Whilst doing so, they were also mouthing off to a load of guys & girls in the steet.
One of the lads (this one in paticular was sat on the bonnet), had clearly just received a pasting from the group they were arguing with.
He lookd like someone had grabbed him by the feet & dragged him face first across the concrete.

Anyway, i get the other group to back off & they disappear, i now ask these lads politely (even saying please), to get off my car, it's all 'no probs mate', 'sorry mate didn't mean to'. Etc.
All going well, theres no scratches or dents so i'm not bothered, i just want to get home & get to bed as i have to be up at 8am.
I put all my gear in the boot & get in the car.
They're now stood behind the car, (about 6 inches away), so i pull forward a touch, then reverse a bit, but they still don't get the hint, so i wind the window down & ask them politely to move.
Still no response, so i reverse a bit more, then go to pull forward, as i do so one of them hits the back window of the car. Not overly hard, but hard enough to make me think, WTF?!
Anyway, i ignore it & go to pull out, as i do, one of the dheads thinks it a great idea to try & open the rear passenger door. (It sounds like it doesnt open, but just the handle banging back).
So i put the handbrake on, get out & ask them 'what the fk do you think you're playing at'?
By now, they've all started giving it the big one 'what're you going to do about it, you want some do ya'? Etc.
Quickly realising i'm actually far outnumbered & despite them being incredibly pissed, i tell them to grow the fk up & get back in the car. Hitting the central locking button as i do so.
As i do, one of the s, decides to try & open my drivers door as i'm driving off, thankfully it was locked, however as i drive round the roundabout the back passenger door flies open, (i had not realised it had opened earlier). Almost losing my boys car-seat in the process.

Being that it is 4am, i thought fk this, i'm reporting the little pricks, yet there's no police to be found, at 4am, outside of where the 3 main nightclubs/bars are in town & i'd esimtate probably 200 people still around.

Despite there being 2 riot vans, an ambulance & 3 cars turn up an hour previous for a man that was passed out drunk on the pavement, the police also taking photo's of him for being 'drunk & disorderly, despite being passed out'.

Bitter much? Yes.

First time anything like this has happened to me in all the years i've been working/out in the town.
Thankfully, i had the common sense to not try & be the hardman, but get back in my car & drive off.

OP, you should've purchased some of Sainsburys finest frozen sausages and made him look like a hedgehog.

Faired far better than I did. Years ago was out in Amersham with friends for another friend's birthday. Walking back to the station, got shouted at, then chased by a group of guys that match your gentleman's description. Managed to get to the train station, jump on a train and shout out the doors for the train driver to shut the doors but to no avail. Promptly got cornered and bottled. 999 called, ambulance turned up, police never did.

The reason for all of this? They THOUGHT we were from a certain town, when in fact my group and I all lived about half an hour away!

I suppose they will always be around as there's nothing/no one to stop them!

Which town did they think you were from?

Make out like you are getting your money out, shake a bit like you are bothered, and then bring your heel down as hard as possible on his kneecap

I really wish I had kept doing Krav Maga, how to hurt people very very easily

That was my first thought - this one obviously made it past pre-school though.

He didn't want 60p or a paper.

He wanted a fight.

See the guy in white in this "famous" youtube clip.

They wind themselves up about something and then all they can think of is that someone must fight them.

Probably a bit paranoid and thought you were judging him in the shop, so it was fight time.

Chesham. All reminded me of Ali G In Da House, suburban thugging.

The worst thing is that when bottled, the bottle doesn't necessarily break straight away. After two-three hits, quite a relief when it does finally break!

Indeed. What's the world coming to these day?
