My story, my story! So, me and my friend are walking home from school. I'm in year 13, he's in year 12. But this bunch of kids starts pestering us, a variety of year 7s to 9s. Apparently they had been taught by my friend's mother at Primary school, and saw this as a good reason to try and annoy us. We try to brush them off, by friend making non-committal comments about his mum teaching them. Then they start taking the piss out of how talks. That in itself is pretty weird; I would have understood if they've made fun of my voice as I sound quite posh, but my friend just sounds... normal. So anyway, they're then walking behind us, sniggering. One of the year 7s starts 'seatbelting' me (this is where you grab the back of someone's bag and yank back hard, jerking them backwards). After him doing this a couple of times, I swing round and tell him to fuck off. Any reasonable person would see at this point that I'm not going to put up with this. But no, the kid feels the need to give my bag another pull.
At which point I fly off the handle and in the words of my friend, "Go Batman on his arse." I grabbed him by the neck, pulled him over to a wall and yelled in his face "Fucking look at me! Is this fucking funny?". Yes I know it was a bit much, put sometimes things just push me too far. I then stride off with my friend in tow, having snapped out of it. His year 9 sister had a yell at us, but to be honest, what did he expect to happen?

1) Because they don't understand the food chain.
2) I would, and have, but they don't have the balls to say something like that to my face. If such a prick would try to mess with me I'd kick their ass.
1) If they're annoying you this much, they seem to be higher in the food chain... You don't seem to be able to deal with whatever they're throwing at you, so they seem to be on top.
2) So... They only talk behind your back because they're afraid of you (or so you claim at least)... And why does this bother you again? They're "being mean"? Saying "bad things about you"? You do realize that you come across about as immature as them right?
Maybe food chain is a bad way to put it... But if they are indeed 'top of the food chain' as you say they'll soon find out that if they act like pricks to people bigger, older and stronger than them they won't stay there for very long. Not because they need to be taught a lesson. Just because that's how things work. In the example above from my life it turns out that they shouldn't try to piss off a total stranger who's bigger than they are, because they might find out that the stranger has anger issues that occasionally come to a head.
It's irrelevant whether the person who retaliates finds this funny, or is proud of what they've done, it's just what happens when you try to piss off someone bigger than you.
