Did I do the right thing?

Are you talking in my context ot in general context?

Not about your particular case. You did good as this was just a personal ego clash. I was talking about cases where people are breaking laws of the land and getting away with because of the 'Saare kar rahe hai' attitude. It just makes my blood boil that just because the stupid local body, made the road a one way street, it becomes alright to flout that rule, because 'saare kar rahe hai'. In cases like these people should confront others. Yes, my examples are specific to traffic issues but that's what I face these days.
During my college days, I was the single person who nearly wasn't allowed to sit for the exams, just because I decided not to pay the fees when the college demanded it. I showed the regulating authorities' policy and announcement letter regarding the rule to the college staff but they were like, we don't give a ****. So I said, OK then see you in court. Good luck explaining to the judge why you didn't let me sit in the exam. Result was, everyone stood in lines to get their dues cleared and get their roll no while mine was delivered to my hostel room.
 
And then they would come to my hostel room, break the door, bash me up, and say YOLO: You only Lived once.
 
lol!

I am a KGB agent, so I should have snipers designated on the hostel roofs to finish them off.
Oh wait.

I was in the hostel mess waiting for food
This really drunk and smelling like hell final year UG guy comes and stands behind me.
I give him a dirty glare

Then i have my food in the mess.
And then when i was on my post dinner walk
He comes to me with 2 other guys and threatens me and asks why did you look at me like that?

I had 2 options
either to confront him or to pacify him

i choose the later because

a) I was outnumbered
b) moreover because he is there since 5 years (Though I being a PG, I am technically senior to him, but I'm new to the college) and my course is for total of 8 months
c) he was drunk

And his 2 frnds, on listening my rather polite tone switched sides and they helped in diffusing the situation

they said abhi tune pee rakhi hai
bahut talli hai and stuff

and later after taking him away said tu aish kar,
tujhe koi kuch nahi bolega
apna hi college hai.

Now what I'm wondering is whether I did the right thing, or am I a massive spineless wimp with no guts.

You are a spineless whimp...













...Till the time you keep thinking about it. You are there to study get a degree and have good memories of that place. You actually did the smart thing. If you still feel upset with the situation confront the guy when he is sober and you are not alone.

you shouldn't have given him a dirty glare to begin with. What was that for. Was he doing anything to you or causing any trouble.

I don't know how it works in India but in the UK, if you stare at anyone a little too long it means two things, you want to jump into bed with them or beat them up.

I would say you're lucky you did not get the latter. Me, i've not been as fortunate.

You cannot argue with drunk people, they are like children, so you treat them as such.

Guts ? lol, wrong question.

Yep, looking at people in the wrong way will get you beat up. I learnt this lesson early on in life with people that weren't even drunk :D

If you want to do it be prepared for the worst.

Try and develop a sense of humour for such situations.

you looked down upon that guy because he was drunk and junior to you. you despised him for smelling bad and invading your private space. later on when he confronted you - you couldn't stand your ground. why couldn't you tell him on his face that you didn't like his behaviour?

that's the exact reason i called you a wimp! you couldn't handle what you started. not because you didn't engage in fisticuffs.

no one messes with drunk people. everyone ignores them. if you were too brainy and had so much problem with him, you should've moved to some place else. you didn't like his smell, so you move away. you can't argue with a drunk on such matters.

i believe that the drunk guy had more brains than you. he knew that he won't be able to handle you right away, probably because he was drunk and in the midst of so many people. he was smart enough to bring his sidekicks when he got a bit sober and when you were alone :p

and you are just glorifying the incident. if those guys meant business then the title of your thread would've been "What did I do wrong?" that was not a bollywood shoot that they were supposed to deliver dialogs before punching you. they wanted to put some sense into you... that's all.

you were alone and outnumbered; they could've given you quick blows and vanished before anyone noticed. but they didn't.

you shouldn't have chickened out but stood your ground.[DOUBLEPOST=1411824503][/DOUBLEPOST]

where was your humanity when you were giving him glares?
 
Well, thats one way of looking at things.

You know what was going through my mind at that time?
"This guy is drunk, and there is no need for me to fight with him, coz he doesnt even know what he is doing.

I know the chief warden of the college pretty well, and I can get his ass kicked if and when I want to.

Will I? Nope.

you should've thought about that when you were staring at him.

... that guy is drunk... so, ignore him and his smell... coz he doesnt even know what he is doing.

you should've avoided him altogether in the beginning (that'd be more like "did i do the right thing")
or
you shouldn't have chickened out later on

talks about humanity, saintly behaviour, forgiving others' sins etc. are actually illogical when you have already taken the wrong step.
 
ok, now to the next bit. You were going on about being senior and everything. What does pulling rank here achieve. Does it give you more powers.

I had a friend get his nose broken by somebody 3 years his junior. I along with another were witness to the prosecution in court and we got the guy banged up as he already had a record.

So if you are prepared to get beaten up, have people see you get beaten up and those people are willing to testify on your behalf and you do not fight back and document your injuries THEN you can get the other guy.
 
The fact that you have to ask for validation from strangers on an internet forum, then try to justify your actions, probably means that deep down you know you did the wrong thing.

Who the **** said I'm a senior.

I'm a first year Master student. In a ****ing 1 year course.

He's a final year student. In a ****ing 5 year course.
Obviously, he's more connected than me.
