My ex used to get confrontational with those guys and he's not that much bigger than you (6'1" and a bit stockier). I think you displayed admirable common sense. If manhood requires you to get in fistfights with mouthbreathers who can't get past going out through the in gate, a bit less isn't much of a loss.

Wordy McWord to that! :)

Besides, I'm impressed that you DID manage to tell the guy what the problem was to his face. That was very brave AND non-confrontational. Perfect mix.

Don't beat yourself up over it. You were confronted by a belligerent person. You stated your concern plainly but without provoking hostility. You both went your separate ways satisfied. You did just fine.

Do not confuse your inner smart-ass with your manhood. He's a lot closer to your inner child. You should let him out to play as often as possible, but this really wasn't the time.
