These kinds of problems are very easy to happen. For example, once I was walking in the rain and some Pinoy called out to me “Umbrella...umbrella”. I already had an umbrella although it was torn a little. I ignored the umbrella vendor and kept walking. Suddenly I felt someone grab my left shoulder from behind and immediately used my left arm to brush his arm off, twisting my body a little but still walking ahead. Unfortunately, I inadvertently slapped him in the face with the back of my hand. Surprised me and I was afraid so kept walking ahead, picking up the pace. Then I felt something hit me in the back. It was him trying to kick me! Fortunately, I was walking up a hill and it didn’t have much force. I just kept walking straight forward, always avoiding looking at him, at he apparently gave up.
The problem is ur constantly getting bugged by guys yelling “trike...trike”, “cialis...cialis”, “cigarettes...cigarettes” even tho ur not looking at them. The worst are these young jerks selling smokes on Fields. Even if u move to the other side of the street, some will chase after u and try to block u or get close to u. After awhile u start losing patience. But believe me, try to ignore them. Never notice them, look at them or into their eyes, push them, do anything physical to them, or yell at them. Even they’re wrong, they’re very sensitive and will try to get back at u. I’ve even seem them fight each other on Fields.
For awhile I couldn’t figure out why they were going after me. Other guys didn’t seem to have any problems. Then I figured that it might be because I go barhopping alone. If u go in a group, they’ll leave u alone. My advice is that if ur a noob, u should try to go around with someone else, ie a wingman.
