Short story.....I was walking along, two groups of punks (maybe 8 in each group ranging from 15-19 y.o.) had both sides of isle blocked (it was maybe 15' wide but only room for one person to fit between the two groups.) With traffic going both ways it had to squeeze between the two groups. After letting a lady come through I split to gap with another guy and "shouldered" on the the punks but politely said "excuse me" and kept going on my way.
At the next store (about 150yds down through the mall) I was looking at gift cards when I was confronted by three of the punks trying to start something....close to my height but thinner. They actually followed me!! To keep the story short, I never raised my voice or removed my hands from my pockets yet "convinced" them it would be in their best interest to move along. Displaying their use of the english language, they resorted to the same slang terms that most uneducated goobs do when they are outwitted and started slamming me with "f" bombs as they walked away. The key is, I never moved and THEY were retreating as cowards usually do. I just stood there grinning.
Friggin'punks....I hate the mall......aarrgghhh!!
