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.

If you don't know what they said.. how do you even know there's something to confront?

I usually offer a small smile if I accidentally catch someones eye and move on I wouldn't respond to someone clearly not speaking directly to me especially if I can't understand them.

Assumption makes an... I recommend not assuming comments are negative when I can't understand what's said.

Could it just have been one of them saying something funny and the others laughing at the very moment you walked past?and no I wouldnt confront them unless I had someone else, preferably male and large, with me

After he'd said whatever he said, the three of them looked at me and laughed. When I looked back, one was still looking behind him at me.

Given I didn’t understand what was said, no I wouldn’t react at all, just ignore and keep on walking. Some men are dicks.

This could all have quite easily just been your imagination thinking the worst.
