Real Life Stories of People Who Scolded Rude Strangers That Are So Satisfying
Some people still heed their parents advice and never talk to strangers, but when someone is being a total jerk, it’s hard to take the high road and stay quiet while they get away with something.
These stories were written by real people who stood up for their beliefs and scolded some obnoxious people who needed to be taught a lesson.
Like a Boss
I’m a student, and I was on a long journey on the London underground, from the bottom of the Northern line to the top about a year ago. I packed some quality reading: World War Hulk, comics at their best. After 30 minutes or so, a proper rich toff steps aboard.
He had what I could only assume was a nice tailored suit, shiny shoes, impeccable hair, even a pocket watch. Dude had style but had a prude air around him.
Anyhow, he sits next to me and I just hunker down and keep reading my stories. After a stop or two, he looks down at the comic and then to me.
“Aren’t you a bit old to be reading comic books?” He sneered, literally peering down his nose at me.
After a momentary pause, I responded, “Aren’t you a bit rich to be on the tube?” And to my delight, a small Chinese woman opposite me burst out into laughter and he promptly got off at the next station. Not much, but it made me feel like a boss.

Every Word in the Book
As a nurse, I’ve had to scold my fair share of people.
A 17-year-old girl was in ICU for some burns, and while I was cleaning her wounds the father randomly says to her, “You know you had this coming right?
The next time I see you with that girlfriend of yours you’ll be worse off.” Naturally, I lost my cool…
I told him off in every way imaginable, using the words “monster”, “get out”, and “restraining order”. Security was called, the man punched me, an ex-marine buddy of mine opens a can of whoop. The man was arrested, the girl was relieved from his custody, I got a bloody nose. Good day.

Higher Rank
My buddy and I were at a movie, and these dudes who were talking about how they had just got out of basic training were bashing the movie and laughing, making rude comments etc. Well, my buddy tells them to pipe down and they flip him off — though they do quiet down.
‘
After the movie, we are at the front of the pack right behind the 6 or 7 guys being rude. My buddy says, “That was really rude to everyone how you were behaving.” One of them (the loudest) whips out his military I.D.
and says, “Yeah, Well I’m a marine and I fight for your freedom.”
My buddy, who just happens to be an officer, whips his out and says, “I’m a marine officer and just because you have the honor of wearing a uniform doesn’t give you the right to be a piece of trash.” Then he made them stand at attention right at the door of the movie theater and apologize to every patron exiting.

What Was I Doing Wrong?
When guys catcall or honk at me from their cars while I’m running/cycling/walking/skating, I do so enjoy getting next to them while they are stopped at a red light and asking them what I was doing incorrectly to have them honk at me.
Was I in the road? Was I going too slow? What can I do to make THEIR problem go away? Why else would they be distracting me while my unprotected body is so close to traffic? I’ve only gotten to do it twice so far, and I fully intend to continue this practice with future offenders.
Don’t catcall the ladies, gentlemen. We don’t like it.
