What do you do when you walk away from a potential conflict and the other person says 'Thats what I thought'? Context:
>asshole neighbors drive through our driveway and tear up grass to get to theirs because theyre both one car wide
>walking to across the street when neigbor comes in up our driveway, which is already full, to squeeze by because theyre parked out of theirs
>i put my arms up like a wtf man
>'you got a problem with something'
>gf says dont worry about it and lets go
>as I turn my back 'thats what I thought'
I dont mind stepping away because the neighbors are gonna get fined for the grass (borough ordinance) but the comment pissed me off. Always been a beta bitch and I have a bit of a stammer, but I got /fit/ and Ive been wanting to stand up for myself.
Sorry, not trying to blogpost. What do you do when you walk away from a conflict and they try to provoke you? Is it worth engaging them when they do?

>consider the following
your neighbor is a nigger,
you my friend are not a nigger
if you want to be a nigger you respond disproportionately to this bullshit, at the same time, you do have to do something called being assertive
you are allowed to say any of the following: what the fuck are you doing? are you retarded?
I'm getting you a nice fine for that asshole
Something to rile him up, but never respond physically or anything unless he throws the first punch. You have to not be afraid of confrontation but at the same time give them the message they can't step on you without some banter or resistance. Rest assured you are the bigger man for walking away though.
Getting into a verbal argument with you neighbour is a waste of time and won't make you feel better. They're getting fined, so you should be glad.
How about putting up a fence, or something? I'm having a really hard time imagining the physical space from your description.
Might be worth mentioning I am in college and the whole town is a college town, so people being shitty is normal.
>>18643854 - this neighbor was in fact a nigger so there is that

Driveways are about three and a half cars deep, and about a 4 foot space between them of grass. Its a place Im renting and im not sure the landlord wants to worry about a fence for some college students being shitty. The fine is also just if the borough happens to go through and inspect. I mean I can probably call and ask them to walk through, just to be a dick about it
