chavs are the lowlife of every city, the gold-chain wearing, buckfast swigging underprivileged youth loitering on street corners in Britain. Or as our esteemed Quartermaster at G.U.E.S.S. said "They´re like sandpeople: not very intelligent and quickly scared off, but they always return in greater numbers". They also make about the same sound as sandpeople!  I like the term "chav". covers it all without the pointless racial distinctions.  |

Indeed, the heckling is inevitable. I live in an area of England populated predominatly by Chavs.. Anything remotely "in fashion" is heckled. That said, if you look around the Common Room at my 6th form you will see about a dozen girls dressed exactly the same. Then I walk in, wearing my long Trenchcoat/Waistcoat combo, complete with Pocket Watch. It's rather an amusing reaction, they seem to forget they've seen it before. I just ignore it all. I like to be myself . None of this being a sheep for me. |

You get heckled? I get five complements to each nasty remark. Then I take that remark as a complement anyway considering the source. If someone with no taste in clothing and the self control of a spoiled 3 year old brat does not like the way I dress, then I am dressed correctly.
The correct answer is to use a C-96 or in my case an M-1911A1.

Indeed I do. But, oddly, mainly from males. Perhaps they're jealous that I get compliments from the fairer sex..

I'm part of this crew, too, with some specific adjustments:
Females: Compliments.
Males: 5 compliments to every 1 jackass who views me as a threat.
White people: More likely to give me stinkeye.
Black people: More likely to compliment, but are more aggressive on the rarer situations where they heckle. I think that second part is because they mis-interpret braces and big black boots and rolled-up trousers as a symbol of racist-type skinhead-ism or something.
City Folk: More appreciative
Rural folk: More likely to feel that I probably slaughtered a black rooster at a crossroads at midnight to call up Old Hob and sell my soul for super-strength or the evil eye or diabolic sexuality or something.

I take more pity on the slovenly insulter who is more likely than not simply posturing for the approval of their peers. (On a slightly related note, I wonder if we really need a sixty page pleb-bashing thread) |

LOLSPAM. Apparently they speak Japanese in Vietnam. Who'da thought? Something I forgot to mention. A couple of weeks back, my old college held a "celebration evening" to which I was invited. I was wearing my new pork pie hat and my (extremely not new) trench coat, and the director of humanities suddenly turns around and says, "So I've heard you've joined the Magic Circle!". At first I was like  but then I lol'd!  Then, later the Nobel laureate who was handing out awards said I was definitely the best dressed! Good times! The sad irony of the magician comment is that I'd bought an opera hat the previous day and had considered wearing it. Alas, hindsight is 20/20. |

I don't dress steamy on a daily basis but I do dress rather anachronistic....uhhhh
I just tend to ignore the people that say stuff ((I'm 17, male))
but I'm actually quite talented at fighting and if anybody so much as touched me in a violent or innapropriate way, I would not hesitate to physically injure them.

Near 100% parity of reactions. |

More and more, Utini, I feel like we might be living parallel lives... Anti-mass-production, alternative-energy-loving, hookah-smoking, life-time martial artist, polyamorous, Steampunk 'makers', who experience the same reactions to our presentations of self? Only I don't wear kilts quite as often... |

Oh, pictures exaggerate the kilt effect. No one takes my picture on the way home from work. Besides, we've clearly got totally different lives. You have more ink.  But certainly, when you're on the cutting edge of awesome you're going to be in good company. One day, everyone will say they were doing all of those things all along, too. (I've been hesitant to get a tattoo, that whole "once you start...." thing. But I did earn, by my own standards, the tattoo I want when I finished the student program in Shen Lung: Mind, Body, and Spirit down the center of one pec, and Shen Lung Kung Fu down the center of the other, in Chinese of course.) |

ok this isn't so much heckling for the way I dress, but today me and freinds were testing out tattoo designs with our tattoo ink markers((It's a stain..only lasts like a few days)) and so I got bored and did a barcode on my neck...
was just at the shopping mall and some girl politely tapped me on the shoulder, so I curiously turned around...and she asked.
"Were you bought on a european sex traffic market?" or something along those lines....
I didn't quite know what she meant untill I remembered the barcode, oh sweet mary murphy

The only way there will ever be a barcode on my neck will be if my corpse is several days dead, and being sold by the pound in the local cannibal market.

I'm with Wells. Spittin' on folks is as good as a blow for justifying whuppins.
Or worse.
In fact, in some US states (Oregon for one) using 'bodily fluids' such as spit 'as a weapon', i.e. hitting people with it, is Assault II, that is, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm...I believe...on the grounds that bodily fluids might be infectious (including various blood-borne pathogens) and thus constitutes a serious threat.
So if you're not the fighting type, you should check into your local laws...you might could have pressed charges. That'll teach em, wot? Although not as satisfying as smiting their ruin upon the mountainside.

In the UK it is an arrestable offence, especially if aimed at a police officer.
