Hanging around outside local restaurant and off licence. Opposite a couple of pubs. They look intimidating. Hoodies up. Drinking cans. They look about 15 so could be younger or older. Smoking. We were worried walking past them to get to our restaurant booking. Thought they might just be waiting for a taxi or friend though so ignored it. Even more worried walking back past them as they were still there when we came out. They didn't approach us or do anything to us. This was a dispersal zone and may well still be. I'm worried they might be waiting for somebody specific. AIBU to ignore it. They're more likely harmless and trying to look tough.

YANBU to ignore them. Yes they might be waiting for someone or something, or they might just be hanging around there socialising in a relatively harmless fashion. What else would you do? I wouldn’t be reporting them if that’s what you’re suggesting.

Well, they obviously weren't waiting for you.

Get over yourself.

So in essence nothing happened and also nothing happened.

What would you report? 3 kids (not a huge gang) being outside who didn’t talk or address you in any way?

So really you could have written:
Today I went to a restaurant, then I came home from the restaurant.

Are you serious?

You’re making a lot of assumptions here purely based on looks and your own fears.
They haven’t done anything wrong to you, so what is the issue here?

I cant see the problem. Nothing happened it's all in your imagination.

So they haven't actually approached you. They're probably not remotely interested in you and they haven't done anything. What's the problem?

What would you have said, and to whom?

You’re not seriously intimating that you’d have called the police to report some children standing around doing nothing, are you?

'Yes 999 I have an emergency I've just seen three people standing outside in a public place'
