    So I was hanging out with my sister and some friends in a bar, at night. This guy, one of the waiters, comes to our table and starts talking with us. He liked us. We stayed there for a couple hours. A little bit before we left, this gyspsy comes to our table, and starts telling us the waiter is gay. We look at her, like, so?? We don't give a shit... she leaves, apparently pissed-off. We leave. Outside, she asks us if we have a euro for her. People say no, I say maybe. I looked into my purse, and then my sister says something that I didn't catch and starts laughing. The gyspsy, with her friends, starts making fun of her. I had a euro, but I didn't like that, so I told her I didn't have one, sorry, and start walking away. But my friend starts asking the gyspsy what her problem was. Was she looking for a fight? Was she jealous the cute waiter was talking to us? She didn't ask her that, but obviously that's what her problem was. They start aguing. I'm like let's go... she's a baby... etc. not wanting drama, especially not with a gyspsy, who probably had a knife or something like that in her pocket. A young spanish gyspsy. I know them. So I don't how it happened, but my friend, who didn't like her attitude, tells her... the gyspsy hit her in the face. The waiter, who'd come outside, separates them. I'm like let's just go... it's not worth it... she calls us whores... but we left.

    I mean, seriously, some people *just* WANT you to get pissed-off, and fight. That's what they look for! They feed off it, you know? They're low, very low people. She was just jealous cause we were prettier and smarter than her, she couldn't stand her friend waiter talking to us, and forgetting about her, and... she provoqued us. I didn't let her win. I didn't give her the satisfaction of pissing me off. She didn't even piss me off. I didn't care. It's immature. I know this kind of folks too well... and I don't mean gyspsies, I mean... the jealous type, the hater type. You know, the type who want all the attention around them, *just* them... the type who are so insecure they need to insult anyone who's better than them.

    *sighs* if I were mean, I'd say she'll end up dead in a fight before she turns 25 or pregnant or catch aids next time she gets fucked up her ass, but I'm not... so I hope she has a good life, and learns to accept herself.

    I walk away from drama. It's not worth it.

    I often avoid people who seek a fight aswell. Here's its mostly children of imigrants who have fallen into two cultures and can't identify with either. Ofcourse its not all of them, I know loads of nice ones, but a few on the streets are just looking for a fight. Most of my friends have gotten in phisical fights but I found out ignoring works very well.
    Don't look at them, don't talk back, asnwer neutral if they do ask a question, and just ignore as much as you can.
    And about the gypsy, yes jealous people are quite immature, especially if its extreme forms. I'm glad you said you ment the jealous types and not the gypsies, as I'm part gypsy (not a lot, about 1/8th) but its still my roots so that would've been offensive. But its not; so it doesn't matter. I'm glad you are strong enough to walk away and ignore people who seek fights.
    Its stronger to ignore and walk away then to join the fight.

    I try to avoid a confrontation whenever possible, cuz its just not worth it. so good on you for walking away, and as you said she could've had a knife.

    In my city, if you're caught alone on a quiet street and some "gangsta" types come near you, you better be a fast runner or a good fighter. its really quite a shame. :(

    I disagree but I see what you mean. Seemed like she was just trying to defend herself and confront her and tell her she didn't appreciate her attitude.

    I don't see why you would disagree.

    The only truly smart thing to do in the situation is to just ignore the damn gypsy and walk away.

    I agree with Pavel, my friend should have ignored them.

    And I know she was a gyspsy cause I grew up in a city where lots of Spanish gyspsies live and I just know them... their accent, the way they dress, long black skirts, etc. but especially the accent, it's unique, and I heard her talk in her language with her friends.

    Those gyspsies from the north of Spain and south of France, or Catalunya, are very different from Eartern European gyspsies. Not colorful at all. Dangerous. I had a friend's dad killed by one of them.

    You European's take your drink and fight, hooligan culture for granted. What i wouldn't give to live in a place like that. Going out every night just knowing i'm gonna have to fight a gypsy or 2.

    sometimes people go and attack you, forcing you to try and defend yourself.. using physical force. that's scary. last it happened to me, in NYC (and I love the city but it can be dangerous at night in some areas), I ended up in the hospital with a cut about where my liver is. some prostitute, on crack, probably, got jealous of me.. cause I was walking on "her" sidewalk.. not being a hooker like her, but looking for a place to spend the night, homeless during last thanksgiving.

    no grudge, just thought it was odd that you were calling the gypsy kettle black.

    I have nothing against gyspsies. Just haters. She happened to be a hater who was also a gypsy.. but I don't mind the later. It was just a way to describe her, like I would have said a blonde or a man with a cigar... I don't know.
