Strange Famous

On Friday night I went out for a few beers and a meal with some mates.

Walking home at approx 1-30am I walked past some kid smashing up a bus shelter. I guess I was looking at what he was up to with mild interest because he comes out with all this "what you looking at bruv?" stuff. I said "nothing mate" and just carried on walking - Im not going to get into an argument over some bus shelter.

Then 2 of his mates came out from behind a builing, and started giving me a bit of language, calling me a "fat cunt" and other things. Obviously I wasnt happy about that and I turned around and gave them some language back and some advise to be careful what they said now.

I didnt really feel threatened like I was going to be attacked, they were only aged approx 16-18, but from a distance they shouted some more insults, kinding of egging each other on. I came back at them one last time and then walked off, abusive language coming from these kids aimed at me all the way down the road.

It seems like this sort of shit is so widespread where I live now... is it like this everywhere? Kids just trashing stuff, swearing at people, generally anti-social behaviour, etc?
