Whenever i have to walk o'r even drive past a group of chavs hanging around i feel really nervous, i mean they are just kids but i always feel like they are going to shout something at me and pick a fight o'r something. Why do they have to hang around outside shops and stuff making a nuisance of themselves?

Mee too. This is one of the few things you can get nervous about without it being irrational. Just look at that man that was in the news because he got killed for standing up to some youths. He's not he only one either.

Living on a council estate you've got to get used to them... It's the older scruffy ones you don't want to mess with, the ones that sit on the bus and talk really loudly about having got out of jail the day before and already gotten into a fight, lol. The young ones are all mouth.

The other day some really young ones started shouting at me, trying to intimidate me, shouting fatty... I stuck my finger up and walked off and they all came after me shouting but wouldn't come within 20 meters of me. I just lifted my top up, rubbed my belly and stuck my finger up and said common then, and they all just stood there, pussies. Not that I'd of done anything to them, that would be wrong, but I just wanted to prove to them that words mean f all and that they couldn't even intimidate me and I'm easy to intimidate! I even surprised myself.

When I encounter such a group I tend to look for another route, usually behind some cars, bushes or something out of sight, if I do get close to them I try to stand up straight and strong and keep my eyes straight ahead, if they sling insults I just continue and ignore them as though I cannot hear them, though tbh I fear this could provoke more threats but then again maybe it is the safest way.

nesh that sounded great, lol if only I had the heart to do stand up like that. Very well done.

I've never had a bad experience with chavs just that their presence alone makes me nervous. I get nervous when i see a group of people standing around anyway but when they are wearing chav attire i get even more nervous! I mean these are usually teenage kids but the fact that they are usually in big gangs make me feel threatened.

Yeah they really piss me off too.

I always seem to walk towards them though if I'm out and about. If I need to cross the road and they're on the other side I still cross over and walk straight past them. I'm a bit funny like that, although I do feel intimadated I am reluctant to show them that I am as that would probably make them more likley to "say" something oooooooo. lol

Yeah I don't really get much stick off them and when I have its been when I'm at a distance away and then I just pretend I didn't hear them or just laugh really loudly.

Best thing to do is ignore them, they only do shit in groups, they all wear the same clothes, have sameish haircuts, they do shit to impress other people and they're not individuals.

They are the future though unfortunatly.

They have a hilarious dress code ( those wearing too short sport trousers, very small baseball hat and pathetic kind of trainers had me in stiches)but chavs ( to my surprise, older British people are not familiar with the "chavs" term- they use "yobs" or "thugs" instead) do Not have very friendly attitude. Never had problems with them but some other Polish people had in here in England.. What can I say, chavs are narrow-minded and prejudiced against foreigners layabouts. Chav Feel strong in the group of people consists of a similar retarded creatures. Probably most of them even did not get any of GCSE...

Chavs make me nervous too. My school is full of them.
I stood up to a chav girl the other day. She was walking down the road shouting loudly and just being gobby and nasty to some old people walking past, so I gave her a dirty look when she went past me, and she said "what you looking at bitch?, I'll knock you out if you keep looking at me like that" So I said "bring it on, hit me then." she stood staring at me for about 10 minutes, while I kept saying "hurry it up love, I aint got all day" and then she said "yeah, whatever you geek f**k off" and walked away with her gang.
You can always tell which ones will hit you and which wont.
I made her look pretty stupid infront of her gang and now she avoids me big time lol.
Was very proud of myself. Laughing


woo go nesh Razz
