You walk past a couple arguing on a dark and abandoned street. It's getting

[bella]

physical. What do you do? oh, and your cellphone is dead. :S

Yell
I'm going to call the cops, then take off real fast as if you were going to do so and get faster if one or both follow you.

 

[been there done that]

we will never know. I'm not stupid enough to walk down a dark deserted street alone.

 

[Future Chi owner]

Nothing. Why interfere?

 

[donovan]

Well, if it looked like the woman was getting hurt, I'd get involved. First try to talk it down and then get physical to keep the wife safe. If it was a woman beating up a man, I'd get in there and just try to get between them.

Ask them for directions.

It's a non-confrontational way to break the tension.

"I'm sorry, folks, I hate to interrupt, but I'm a bit lost and you are the first people I've seen in 10 blocks. Can you help point me in the right direction?"
