Quoted from o-din:There was a younger guy today the could have easily started a fight because he might have seen me glancing at his girlfriend. But instead gave me a nod while I helped mom into Wienersnchitzel. He was tall and at least half my age. And looked ready to go.
The eye contact we made, and his nod told me all I needed to know. There would be no battle today. Instead I felt some respect.
When some senile old man checks out my girlfriend I don’t find it too threatening either. If they get too aggressive I just look around for their orderly and gently ask them to tend to their charge.
No need for violence!
