Whatever it is, I still don't want to get the attention of the public for the wrong reason. A public scandal is not my cup of tea. What civilized people do is talk. If I was confronted in public, I wouldn't stoop so low to that person's level. I might just simply walk away. Civilized people talk, barbarians, scandalized!

If someone would humiliate me in front of the public, I would definitely cry and just run away or go find some police officer and had her arrested. I am never confrontational, whatever I will say at that point will never pacify that person. People do stupid things when they are angry. I'll definitely teach that person a lesson she will never forget. I can sue her for public scandal or harassment or grave threat. Suits her if she can stay in jail even for a night. Some people opt to stage their own drama on the street when they can just talk to the person concerned. Being emotional sometimes won't do us any good. We can't think clearly and sometimes we often do things that would make us regret later. What is not there to resolve when people talk? My husband often remind me whenever I raise my voice in an argument. He said I don't have to do that. We can straighten things out just by talking and not being so angry about it. Seems very logical to me. Apart from listening, both parties should also know how to listen. Nothing will be resolved too if both parties talk at the same time.

I've never done it. Not a huge fight anyway, maybe just a little argument or a disagreement. But I don't get into shouting fits, mainly because I don't like drawing attention to myself.

Nope, never happen to me.I guess fighting or arguing with someone in public is scandalous and not a good manner because it would catch attention.But there are instances where in you are provoked and you know your are right then our instinct is to defend ourself but for me if I can still control myself I won't fight.

Fighting in public is a very disgusting thing to do and I will never or I don't want to see myself in that kind of situation however, if the situation is for me to defend myself then I guess I will but as much as possible, I will try to not to.

Well my brain tells me it is not good to fight in public. But I plead guilty of the crime twice. Both was with my boyfriend. First I threw my cellphone at him when he tried to walk away from me during a quarrel. The second one was I caught him cheating, and I really made a scene at a restaurant. He slapped me for saying some really painful words, but do you think he will not get away with it? No! In return, I punched him! Then I walked out, screaming that he's a big dork.

LOL, sorry but I have to laugh and say good for you . I am sorry this happened to you but I am proud of you for not being shy and punching back. I know, I know, some will say this was wrong but imo it was right and could be you gave someone in the public the courage to stand up for herself too.

Same thing applies in my case also. If I consider the cause genuine then I may fight. Normally no. Very rarely yes. Maximum two or three occasions not more than that in 60+ years. have a good day

Anyone who would fight in public will be making a nuisance out of himself. However if it is for standing up for something right and not unreasonable, i would not hesitate to do so. Being big size, im sure the other party would be scared.
