Would you have confronted these?

I was walking past three men sat on a bench. One said something in their language whilst looking at me and they all then looked at me and laughed, one looked back at me and I shot him a look. I'm quite overweight so perhaps it was something about that but I have no clue. I'm usually not afraid of confrontation but on this occasion, I decided not to as more and more people are carrying weapons. I wish I had now though or they'll never learn to have a bit of respect.

Depending on my mood and the surroundings, I’d either have ignored or said ‘Fancy saying that in a language all of us understand, big shot? No? Thought not.’

I might have mumbled something under my breath about them being twats but if it's in another language I tend to just not register as even if it looks bad you really don't have a clue what they said.

Life's too short to concern yourself with complete strangers.

No, as a lone woman I would feel unsafe getting into a confrontation with three men. I'd have ignored them and kept walking, I don't actually give a fuck what some random strangers think of my appearance anyway.

No, I'd have completely ignored them.

Don't rise to it.
