You’d prefer if you could find a way to deescalate, you hate beating up people. Everyone’s one bad fall away from permanent damage. Where you grew up being brash meant goons left you be; but everywhere else? Just trouble – it’s still a hard habit to shrug off.
“Shut your trap, you cocky bastard.” This Stan guy didn’t like the way you phrased it. Why is being polite so difficult?
“S-Stan, calm down, you’re making a scene.” His friend fails to appease Stan, you can tell he doesn’t want any trouble, but wants to impress this douche. He puts himself in front of his rowdy friend. “Sir! You’ve forgotten I’m the individual you’re talking to! Please don’t ignore me!”
“I’m not, but he’s the one looking for trouble.” You point at Stan.
“You sound like a sissy, man.” Stan is so disappointed in his friend. “No wonder I keep forgetting your name…”
“It’s Ruffus!” This Ruffus guy is too lenient with his friend here…
