    I know you probably mean well but that is not good advice. Recording the offender might cause them to get more aggressive/violent. Trying to remove oneself from the situation should be the first course of action.

    Take your phone. Make a picture or video. Show it to the police.

    It disheartening to see that some people like to joke about situations like this. As someone who has experienced it and knows what the revulsion feels like, and how hard it might be to shake it, I am very surprised to see forum members going...

    paakaminska reacted to Flog's post in the thread The price of items in bars and cafes with Like Like.
    I dunno. Spain is considerably cheaper than where I come from and I can afford to go there, so I don't concern myself with bar prices too much. I order, I eat and drink and then ask what I owe. If service is good, I tip. I don't frequent posh...
