They seem to flock to my husband. He's not particularly distinctive, doesn't have "a face" or give off an attitude and keeps himself to himself.
Yesterday we were sat with our young son and a woman started telling at husband to stop smoking pot. He wasn't and none of us do so couldn't even have smelt of it and he told her. There was no one around smoking either. She starting shouting about being pregnant and having children removed. He wasn't engaging. She then said that if she had a knife she'd slash him. She started squaring up to him. He was sat down so wasn't being threatening.
As soon as she started talking about knives I told her she needs to leave and go away (I didn't swear) and I just keep saying that to her so she threatened to call the police. I told her to and reminded her of the number and she wondered off.
She was just mouthing off and it didn't feel threatening at any point even when she talked about slashing him but it did leave me a bit shaken (I hate confrontation, am useless at it and I worry what message this is all sending to my son). Husband was in a bad mood anyway and was seriously annoyed by it.
Last week he had a woman shouting at him on the train. She was grumpy because she'd missed her earlier train but she made a beeline to him and was quite nasty to him and I had to step in.
He's had chips thrown at him when we were eating out. He gets regular comments about his appearance despite being average, albeit scruffy.
He gets things shouted at him in the street. Less so these days bit definately when he was younger.
I tend to leave him to handle it unless it escalates like the woman yesterday or on the train. He just shrugs it off.
It's happened for all the time I've been with him. I don't why and he tends to just brush it off but it does bother him sometimes, like yesterday and it definately bothers me.
Not really sure what I'm after but still processing yesterday I guess. Even though it wasn't threatening it seems a step up what he normally gets and it was in front of my son.
