I can’t sleep. Was just out in some rough part of town with a gal. She went in a random bar to use the bathroom before we left.

Meanwhile, I sat on the patio. I pulled a chair away from a half empty table then sat in it looking at my phone. A pretty big guy walked over 5 mins later or so and told me he was saving those chairs for his friends. I calmly told him half the table was empty and the people sitting there didn’t say anything when I took it. He got loud in the city and went crazy. I stood there staring him dead in the eye without flinching and we were nose to nose. I saw the open chin but just didn’t throw the punch. After a short stare he grabbed the chair and walked off with me just standing there mad dogging him.

I’m 17 190ish he was prob late 30s mid 200s. No excuse tho, still should have thrown the punch but I didn’t. I legitimately can’t sleep, I’m so ashamed for just freezing and staring at him angrily.

    You did the right thing. At 17 you feel invincible, but so much crazy stuff can happen in a fight. One of you could land a lucky punch causing the recipient to fall, hit his head, and die. One of you is dead and the other is in prison for life over an argument about a chair. The only reason to not just walk away and forget about it is ego, and ego is usually not a good reason to do anything.
