Was on the train and waiting for my girlfriend to jump on at her local station, she jumps on but obviously we have no idea which carriage she's on so I'm looking down both ends of the train trying to find her. I keep getting weird looks from a guy who's laughing and looking at me, not in a happy way but more like he's in disbelief I even dared to look in his direction. I start walking down the train away from him towards my girlfriend, ignore the guy because he's looking a bit off.
As I'm walking I get tapped on the back and he starts saying "You got something to say to me? You keep staring, watch yourself" and at the same time basically motions to something on his waist (assuming it's a knife since it's London). I just give him a confused expression as I look him up and down and ignore him to keep walking towards my girl. As I walk away he says "Don't walk away from me" and I just keep ignoring him because I know you're not really supposed to engage with idiots like this. I'm assuming he just has low self esteem and tries to act tough to make himself feel better but it was such an odd experience.
Did I handle myself alright? I can handle myself in a fight but obviously against a knife the odds aren't in my favour clearly. I disengaged and ignored him because I didn't want to cause a fight in front of my girl and potentially endanger her or others because so many weirdos carry knives around London thinking they're gangsters.
