I got threatened by an unstable guy today at a public place. Said I was standing too close to him in the line for cofee. I wasn't.
What's the proper response? I tried to de-escalate it by saying nothing and backing down. What do you do? There was no security in sight. Some people are unhinged.
No point in fighting with crazy.
If it was a normal person, I'd probably tell them to move if they don't like where I'm standing.
