The Actual

Whatโ€™s the coldest thing youโ€™ve ever said to someone in public?

For me, it was some guy who I confronted who was hassling a woman outside a grocery store. He gave me some guff about being afraid of him as I was walking away. So I turned around and said, โ€œYou think Iโ€™m being polite to you because you believe Iโ€™m afraid of you. But Iโ€™m being polite because otherwise I would just kill you.โ€

I think that got his attention as he didnโ€™t say anything else when I turned around again. That was in 1998 or so.
