Walking the streets...

[Josh64]

Have u ever felt nervous walking the streets, I never used to but just latley,whenever I see big groups of people I get kind of nervous. I don't when im with friends but when im walking from school sometimes and groups of people come walking along it makes me kind of nervous. Do u feel the same?

[dukkadukka]

aww, bless you *hug* sometimes i do when i'm at night and there's a group of rowdy chavs, but usually no.

[Surrealist]

I have ever since I got headbutted from behind for standing up for someone.

Kinda sucks really.

[link64uk]

yes all the time especially with groups of people up ahead i try to avoid them if possible

[Dieter]

Sorry but that brought a smile to my face ;) headbutted hehe, how lame :D

I think it's sad that, purely from LOOKING at a guy, that you can tell if he's going to make trouble or not. :hmm: First impressions can be wrong, but are usually right when dealing with scum :yes:

[dD_Daz]

I used to yeah, but now it's not been a problem, I guess it all depends on the time of day and how many of the other people there are :blink:

[Haver]

Yeah. I'd be assured that an overwhelming majority of the forum share your plight. Apart from Bowser57, who would teach those whiteboys a lesson.

[Ashley]

Sometimes when its dark and alone I do, but I always think "if I were attacked where would I go, what would I use as a weapon etc". Although I felt safer walking the streets of NY at night then I do in my own little home town.

[RoadKill]

aww, bless you *hug* sometimes i do when i'm at night and there's a group of rowdy chavs, but usually no.

Pretty much the same for me.

Most of the time I wander around analysing things and talking to myself almost constantly.

we must have been seperated at birth!

[Pancake]

Yep. I'm definitely scared of chavs in the street and avoid walking near them if i can.

[Blackfox]

I just take a note of the surrounding and look out for suspicious stuff. I sometime's weigh up chavs in my mind, should i have to fight them. Although the best ploicy is always to run ;)

[harribo]

in a word no, but a word is too short to post.

[Surrealist]

Sorry but that brought a smile to my face ;) headbutted hehe, how lame :D

"Hey sometimes, your words, they hurt" :D

[EEVILMURRAY]

Sometimes, but I know if I'm close to home I won't be bothered as if I was my brother would grab his crew and kick the shit out of them.

[Shorty]

I've moved to New Jersey. I wouldn't walk the streets alone at night ever.

Sometimes, but I know if I'm close to home I won't be bothered as if I was my brother would grab his crew and kick the shit out of them.
That is the chavvest thing anyone has ever said on this board. Ever.

Edit: In retrospect this board's not been going long enough for that to sound as effective as hoped, so I include C-E in my brutish assault.

[Blackfox]

I've moved to New Jersey. I wouldn't walk the streets alone at night ever.

Why not? I thought New Jersey was a nice place?

[Shorty]

Why not? I thought New Jersey was a nice place?
Yes that's why they nicknamed it The Armpit of America.

[Blackfox]

Yes that's why they nicknamed it The Armpit of America.

I see....sounded nice to me anyhow :unsure:

[kyletherobot]

the other week i was walking home from work at about 11 at night and i was innocently listening to my music, i walked past a small gathering of dirty scum chavs and after i had got about 100 metres away i heard the smash of a bottle behind me, i just shouted for them to grow up and i got shouts back about being soft etc, seriously though, what the hell would they have done if it had hit me?? i dont understand people sometimes, tis a terrible world that we live in :( now im a bit nervous walking past groups incase they do have a glass bottle on hand and they have good aim, stupid really.

[Surrealist]

If they'd hit, they would have been shit scared and run away, unless they were really 'ard

[kyletherobot]

yeah i guess, wish they were dead :)

[Offerman]

Yea I used to have that problem - bloody chavs terrorising me. However since passing my driving test - I drive everywhere, which sounds lazy but I feel alot more confident that I wont die of being beaten up. Instead I worry of dieing because of my skillful driving.

[Herr Dark Wolf]

Yeah, I feel nervous when I walk past a big group on my own. Not when I'm with my mates though.

[EEVILMURRAY]

That is the chavvest thing anyone has ever said on this board. Ever.
I like to think of it as Chav-immunity.

[Dieter]

"Hey sometimes, your words, they hurt" :D

So do headbutts apparantly.




:heh:

[Bren]

amen my brother.

[Indigo]

I get nervous when I'm walking past a large group of chavs at night, but aside from that, I'd say I'm fairly confident walking the streets. Although, having said that, I do have my paranoid moments every now and again; for example, sometimes I'll be convinced that someone's following me. ^_~

[RATM_4_EVA]

walking in the streets of Brooklyn NY at night!! ROFL :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: ...sad actually, but to be fair. there are some parts :p

[RATM_4_EVA]

Sometimes when its dark and alone I do, but I always think "if I were attacked where would I go, what would I use as a weapon etc". Although I felt safer walking the streets of NY at night then I do in my own little home town.
yeah i guess its because there are alot of people around in the city, and less likely for dicks to be dicks :)

[Surrealist]

So do headbutts apparantly.




:heh:

Well look at Mr. Witty. And yes, yes they do :)

[The3rdChildren]

I'm not exactly fearful of walking the streets as I am aware. I have lots of the things mentioned before in the back of my head if I feel particularly vulnerable, although I hardly ever do. The best thing to do is if you feel vulnerable try to stick to populated areas. No strolling off down dark alleyways where chav squads are known to linger.

If someone tried to take something from me, I'd smash it up before giving it over to them. See how worthwhile their mugging attempt was then. Man, I bet someone will beat me up randomly tomorrow because I said all this.

[CVD]

Rarely. I just keep my head down, with my iPod in and don't make eye contact. That's the winning formula for safety. Depending in which area you live in, the iPod may be a magnet for chavs, but iPod theft seems to be occurring less likely now.

[elniro]

I can feel uneasy when i see groups of people ahead, but most of time i feel ok.
If your confident then it should be ok, say if you cross the road to avoid a few people and cross back it shows as sign of weakness. I see that "thugs" tend to confront people who dnt look confident i.e. people who dnt look like they will clap back

[Fierce_LiNk]

Well, strange that this thread was here. I had a weird night on Friday.
Basically, on the night this site launched, i was with my girlfriend in a car eating curry and chips and just talking. Then, when we decided to leave, the car battery was dead. So, we waited for half an hour/an hour to see if it would come alive. Did it heck.:heh:
So, i walked her home, and it was quite a cold night. Took about 20 mins to walk her home. But, when i was walking home (this is about midnight, and it was pitch black), the streets were deserted. I didn't come across a single person for ages. It reminded me of a scene out of 28 days later.
I didn't feel scared or anything, it just seemed a bit weird that there wasn't a person in sight for miles. I love walking at night tho, because for some reason the air feels a lot cleaner. That's why i love night outs so much. The walking out in the dark, feeling the cold, it's just excellent. Although, i did feel a little nervous that night, because for a time, it felt like there was just me and my thoughts.

[Dante]

I used to hate walking home by myself but not anymore.
I do get scared walking at nighttime. :sad:

[Retro_Link]

"Hey sometimes, your words, they hurt" :D
Ok please tell me where Ross says that in Friends; i just can't remember!!!

Anyways; yeah Chavs really are ruining it for us all!!

[masaki86]

I've always found that acting like you own the streets is the best way not to be picked on by anyone. I walk head high, chest out and a sort of fuck off face for the most part. My ipod plugged in, my rock/metal.rap blaring out as I walk past. Tbh, the only people that have ever said anything to me over the past few years are kids about 9-12. shit....i just know this is gonna ruin my life by posting this...if i don't post tomorrow; assume the worst....

[Aimless]

Like most that have posted here, I'm not so much afraid as aware. Naturally I clock possible threats, but I find the best tactic is to just ignore those that attempt to confront you. If they get in my way then I just look them in the eye and move past them.

Of course the streets I walk are pretty sheltered, and I do notch up the caution when in actual cities and likely trouble spots.

I often wonder what would happen if someone were to try and attack me. I may be a pasty geek, but I'm a pasty geek with fists; years of bottling up my anger is sure to take its toll one day.

Who am I kidding, not even primal rage would make me any good in a fight. Besides, I'm not sure if I could willingly hurt someone. Well, obviously I could — we're all animals at the end of the day — but I'd regret it.

I'm no marathon runner, but over short distances I can move pretty fast. Job done.

[Platty]

i live in south east london and when walking around at night on your own you cant help but be nervous even a group of 16 year old kids can be intimidating! it never used to be like that when i was a youngster! bah its just crap but i just think tough and walk through them all, if they start they start i have jedi powers you see.

[Bowser.Vs.FWNT]

To feel safe on the streets always carry round a porcupine works like a charm.

[Wesley]

I don't unless it's at night and I'm alone.

Often after I have walked my girlfriend home and I go back into town it's quite scary until I am with my friends again.

Also it doesn't help when I am slighty drunk [which is most of the time] because I sometimes look at them . . . well, stare at them.

[Ramar]

Have u ever felt nervous walking the streets, I never used to but just latley,whenever I see big groups of people I get kind of nervous. I don't when im with friends but when im walking from school sometimes and groups of people come walking along it makes me kind of nervous. Do u feel the same?

Yup, ever since I was mugged walking home from College by a group of 'gangstas' and pikeys.

Today I might even take my mp3 player in, the first time since that day in March.

[Mr_Odwin]

I am Rock Hard and fear no one.

[GoonFace]

What I've noticed is that Chav's will only do something to you if they outnumber you. There are a lot of chavs i the area around my school and therefore it is not a good idea to walk home alone as there are some chavs I have a history with from a few years ago. The best way to deal with the scum though, is to just ignore them, no matter what they say.

Sometimes the younger the worse - because they are too young to feel remorse - so they just go hammer and tongues at doing you over.

[Ice9]

I usually just keep to my normal business and ignore people. I usually look moody enough for people to keep away from you. Wear that expression that says "I'm so angry I want to rip someones head off" and all will be fine :D

However I have been started on several times, but you get over it. Otherwise import some MACE.

[Eddage]

Anyways; yeah Chavs really are ruining it for us all!!

Hey Retro did you read about those young hoodlums (I like to call them chavlings) in Cheltenham that spent 2 hours smashing some car up, no one would call the police because they were too scared of what might happen to them, and these kids (I also like to call them ****s were about) were only about 11 or 12!

Thats one of the reasons why I'm glad I live in a nice cosy village!

[kopo]

I usually feel nervous walking on the streets, but for completely different reasons...

Anyhow, chavs don't scare me. Without wanting to sound like a 'tough guy' I've had my share of fights and i think i'd stand a chance. One thing i always do, if the situation requires it of course, is look for an escape route. But to be honest, i put most confidence in my verbal skills to simply fight back where they can't do fuck. If they go into discussion they'll loose, if they start to fight i'll make a witty remark and run.
And that's the man's way

That's exactly how I feel when biking to work at 4.45 AM :)

And kopo, you've seen what chavs can do.

I might've posted this, but here's it now with details.

A classmate of ours, Kristof, went to a party Saturday night and got a bit drunk. He decided to go home and headed towards his bike. He saw a group of chavs obviously trying to steal his bike. He walked up to them and confronted them (not very smart but he was a bit intoxicated).

He got beat up by 6 chavs at once, he wasn't even at school monday cause he was still kind of out of it. He lost a front tooth. His lip was busted open. The remnants of a black eye were visible. In short, he got fucked up. Luckily, the police have a name and are searching for the scum. What the rest of the gang might do to him once he gets caught, I dare not imagine. I hope he'll get through this okay.

This just makes my blood boil, albeit in uselessness. Yeah chavs will only become hostile when in groups larger than you. Fucking cowards.

It's stuff like that shit Kristof went through that really make me consider trying to make chav-hunting legal in Belgium. Blasting them away with a 9-guage must be very satisfactory. I mean, their hats make for easy shooting anyway :yes:

[Raining_again]

I'm ashamed to admit that these chav people do scare me..

theres about 20 of them where i live, they hang around all together. they dont like me so im an unavoidable target. they tried to attack me and my mate with fireworks one night. another nite, walking home they attacked me and my sister with coins.

they all think they're something special and that they are in some stupid paramilitary!!

but funny thing is...i walk past them, just me, just one of them....not a peep from them.

i mean get a life...they do nothin but hang round the streets, ready to pounce on anyone not like them.

He was drunk, wasn't he. And you said he confronted them. That's putting a scale of milk next to a cat. A CAT

[Dieter]

Letting them steal his bike and making him walk half an hour at night wouldn't really be right either...

[entropy]

I grew up & live in a crap area of south london, so I'm kind of used to the bunch of youths lingering about the streets, they never start anything as I guess I'm a familiar face to them. One thing that I have noticed over the years is that whenever I see these 'thugs' I have to make eye contact with them, it's weird, don't know why I do it.

[cheets]

i feel safe, but after 8 pints it can be quite scary, as u will get the knocked the fucked out. im like chav come geek, i know how to handle chavs, just act like a chav.

[Oli1983uk]

well 2night was the first night in years that some one has tried to pick on me in my own area. it was 2 kids around 17 one with a dog. They thought i was walking by my self but i was with 2 mates, they started trying to set the dog on us and also threaten us with a glass bottle! but one of them shit it cos we didnt back down in the end they just walked off.

I do feel safe in my own area as i grew up here and know alot of the people, but then u get some right pricks who think they own the place!! i think they need to be brung down a peg or two.

[Noodleman]

It depends where I am. If im at home I wil always cross the road if I see a big group of chavs up ahead. However if im in Norwich it doesnt bother me and ill just walk past/through them. Buts thats more because the chavs in Norwich are rubbish and more interested about the image of being a chav then acting like one.

[Cheapshot]

Chavs even start on girls?! I've had enough of them!!

Round my street they set a poor little girl's kitten on fire; it was so horrible!! They don't trouble me but i'll NEVER forgive them for that!

Don't Chavs have a conscience? Fucktards!

i was one of those mates with oli! all the kid with the dog could do was say mush mush to make his dog bark! how very hardcore of him! they did shit it when they realised oli wasnt on his own, even tho oli is twice the size of them and could have taken them out! lol give me the bottle, what a prick!

I've got many accounts of what chavs have done to me and me mates, it's pretty sickening when u cant walk down the street without being harrased.

how cud someone do that to a poor defenseless animal! i think the chavs round my way bought a filthy dog and they tried to set it on us :indeed: i think they left it, totally abandoned on the streets..thats just terrible.

They pick on creatures and people that cant defend themselves


i think they need to be brung down a peg or two.


Exactly!

[Cheapshot]

You've got it pretty rough Raining, i've never heard of Ballymena; sounds pretty crap around there.

Do you dress like a Goth?

Northern Ireland....nuf said :P Just north of belfast. im sure darksnowman could back me up here as hes from ballymena too.

i dress...well normal, jeans and shirts really. I dont think i'd dare to dress like a goth lol!

They hate me cause im from Scotland, they think i sound like an "english tw**" :indeed: :bah:

[Fierce_LiNk]

Actually, i've just been reminded of something. My brother got attacked by 2 boys not so long ago. My brother was going to a takeaway to get some food, and he got attacked by the traffic lights by these 2 boys. When he came home, he had a massive cut on the right side of his face and his eyebrow was just dripping with blood. Luckily, one man who was near at the time saw who did this and brought him home. Gave us descriptions of the lads. That's the most recent time i've heard of a chav attacking someone i know.

I cant believe they have done that. Things have got really bad around Englnad now, Chavs are just totally wrecking it. I remeber going to the park about 2-3 years ago, I was only young then, about 11/12 and we were at the town park on the swings just talking and these chavs started insulting us, at first we tryed to ignore it, but then they carried on, "come on then!, we know u can hear us"
so we walked off and thought they had come, only to see them coming round the corner, well mmate ended up being hit, when I rang 999 they ran away, they were all caught but then when me and my mate (+ his brother) went home we saw them going in the police car and they just laughed at us. I can't believe they just didnt care they were in a police car.

[Offerman]

Its the general attitude that really does my head in - and the thing is, they seem to get away with it. Where are the cops, they are being anti-social, why not ASBO them.

[RoadKill]

... Or shoot them in the face and use their bodies as fuel for boiling water to turn turbines so they can generate electricity and be of use for once in their lives.

[GoonFace]

I walked past a chav I have history with today. However, I was in a big group and there was only him, his friend and what looked like his little brother. All he could do was stare at me as he walked past trying to psyche me out and guess what? It didn't work!

[darksnowman]

Raining_again, them shem fellows can be pretty tough going. Not too many round my estate these days, just a few but theyre young enough (14-15 maybe) for me to handle. Well, plus I know one o em so were cool.

As for Galgorm, its a pretty posh we spot. People who dont wanna live in the town live out there... sure theres the Crispy Cod! Its better than the Fish and Chicken and Maureens!

Id say its Gallaghers attracts em. They likely hang round in the streets then break in for some smokes. Here or even they venture down to Ahoghill and have been having a hand in burning out some o them catholic ones the past few weeks.
