"Got any DVDs for me?" - a thread of triumph So today, I was sitting on a bus, reading the day's paper when a porky teen-aged kid and his similarly aged friend come up and ask "Have you got any DVDs?"→[More:] (I'm of chinese descent, so I must sell pirate DVDs, right?)

"No." I continue to read my paper. The porky kid's friend returns to his seat.

"Don't lie, I know you've got DVDs." I'm not a confrontational person. I've never been in a real fight. And I usually ignore these kind of people (nowadays, stuff like this is very common in Britain, by the way). But today...I had just been reading an article about acts of heroism in World War 1 and this little twerp just...they died for him.

I stood up. "Don't make me beat the shit out of you!" I cry. He takes two steps back. I'm only 5'11, but he's 4-foot something and obviously likes his food.

"Woah," he yelps, with the facial expression of a bunny caught in headlights.

"Just leave me the fuck alone, you cunt." (The whole bus probably heard me say this). I move to the lower deck to get away from them. Later, he gets off at the same stop as me (the train station) and doesn't even glance at me.

He won't be so cocky the next time he encounters a dirty foreigner, I'll bet.
