normally try to raise a hand in apology, except in tight spots where taking one of the bars, would be silly. I did bump a rude boy in a bmw, at 4 in morning on walworth rd. Definetly didnt want to be chased so stopped, looked through through the tinted windows and apolisgised. He made me walk over to his car, while i was surrounded and inspect the 'zero' damage, (thank fuck) I just kept my pride well swallowed and said things like "it looks like a very expensive car yes, i could never afford one so nice, etc" Kept saying sorry and he told me apoligies solve nuffin. Presumably kicking the shit out of me would have. Finally after about 10 minutes, another rude pointed out what i had been politly saying all along. "Yeh but bruv, there ain't no mark." He just stared at his mates, sucked his teeth waved his hand at me, got back in and pulled off."
Being obsequies when your wankered at 4 in the morning can have benefits.
