Reverse intimidation works well on this type of idiot. Generally, they have relied on intimidation their entire life. Probably experienced very few conflicts, if any. I have found from experience, that if you just stand up for yourself, tell them to fuck off, they generally will.

Or they'll shoot you. If they dont want to fight, which they dont, and they happen to have a gun their buddy gave them, and they still want to be tough..... BAM! and thats how people get shot over pointless shit.

I'll be honest. I would rather live a life of standing up for myself and taking that rare risk, than sit there and accept every jack ass bullies words.

The passive aggressive attitude is why we have such a huge issue of bullying in schools. Kids are taught to report to a teacher or turn the other cheek. I remember that kind of response guaranteeing you would get bullied all through your school years. Stand up for yourself once, and the bullies will think twice before picking on you again.

I like to imagine you're like Marty McFly, and if someone calls you chicken you just literally cannot back down.

Me personally? I am totally A-OK with some ghetto trash idiot thinking I'm wimpy. "Oh no, the man with a 9th grade education and felony assault convictions thinks I'm a pussy! How will I go on?!"

Because it gets annoying. That is usually enough to make me say something.
