Shop NYC Top

I’m wondering how other people here avoid potentially dangerous situations with unhinged people in public.

I know the drill – mind your damn business, don’t make eye contact and all that. Tonight my friend and I were on 53rd street, and he accidentally bumped into a deranged man in a busy coffee shop. He apologized and moved out of his way, but the man proceeded to ask what his problem was, followed us outside and called him racial slurs and yelled all sorts of stuff.

Fortunately he just walked off ranting and raving to himself after we ignored him long enough. I just feel like at some point something like that might happen again, and I want to know if ignoring them really is the best way to go in most situations like that. With erratic unpredictable people, I can’t think of a better option. I’m not a large strong looking guy either, so I can’t be intimidating lol.
