Unfortunately this is the brand of conduct I've become quite accustomed to. Whenever I am witnessing any kind of nasty, verbally abusive behavior, I find that the best solution is to do one of two things (or both): 1) Induce laughter out loud, so that it can be heard by everyone: the person(s) acting out, the victim, and all witnesses. Let me make this clear- The laughter is a tool. Trying to find the humor in truly outrageous is very important because the laughter will keep you from getting upset or angry, which could conceivably prompt you to get involved. You do not want to get involved beyond laughing at them. They do not need to know what you are laughing at. 2) Try to have compassion for people like this. They are obviously not very happy or at peace with themselves. How typical. Unfortunately this is the brand of conduct I’ve become quite accustomed to.

But I'm a big guy without kids, so I can get away with that type of behavior.
