Vodafone shops have system where you need to take a ticket to get served. While I was queuing for a ticket a woman darted in front of me and grabbed her ticket - very blatently pushed-in, instead of speaking-up to her I made my presence felt with a cough ("hutt-humm"). I faced a torrent of verbal (including being called a "see-you-next-tues") and was invited to step outside the shop to discuss further by her husband. Outside the threats continued regardless of the fact thay had their child with them (guessing 6 year old). Very lippy woman demanding I apologised and big bloke intent on a fight.

What would you do?

Fight. He might be big but I'm quick, and a hero.

Probably keep my mouth shut.

I've never seen a vodafone shop that busy though. You had to [i]queue[/i] to take a ticket to queue?

I'd be firing a haughtily worded email to Vodafone askin them to put a few extra staff on. 🙂

Threatening behaviour is becoming all too common in society. Teach them a lesson:

or it has to hurt if you smash someones face into one of those dummy phone displays.

Then calmly get on with your purchase. Or run like hell!

You did the right thing by doing nothing.
What goes around comes around.

The gobby bitches mouth will write a cheque hubby wont be able to cash one day. Feel sorry for the kid with "parents" like that.

Forehead smash on the bitch, and chop the guy in the throat, then a set of laces to the baws. How good that would feel. I'm smiling just thinking about it. 😀
