Who was BU here, if anyone?

I was walking past a local pub at about 8PM and saw a young woman shouting at someone in a car. She didn't have a coat on or anything and it looked like they could be fighting, so I asked her if she was okay, she said "what" so I asked again and she said her phone & wallet had been nicked. Then she shouted right in my face about not caring what colour people were, she'd still "rip their -bleep- head off"!

I walked slightly off up the road after that and she went back to (I think) her group of friends so I left it. Should I have done anything else? My mum thinks I was being slightly U for interfering at all, although I didn't know the woman was going to be arsey!

I don't think you were being unreasonable to ask her if she was OK. That was kind and brave of you to try to help someone.

Her behaviour was odd but if she was possibly drunk and upset then it's explainable, in a way.

I don't think there was anything else you could or should have done.

I think you did a nice thing by checking on the girl, unfortunately it sounds like she was to p*ssed to appreciate the gesture. She was BU, not you

of course you weren't BU. I've also done similar and had head bitten off. I don't want to ignore anyone in trouble.
She was angry and on the defensive... I'd be angry if same happened to me though I wouldnt take it out on anyone who asked how I was

Thanks. Smile Oddly enough I was only walking that way because I thought I'd dodge some other bell-ends I've had trouble with recently! Blush
