Sheer luck
Was about to get the crap kicked out of me at the central bus station by 5 chavs pretty much just because of the trousers I was wearing.

I was absolutely bricking it and convinced I was about to die when I hear:

"Alright mate, haven't seen you in ages!"

As the older cousin of a friend rolled up on his rollerblades, holding a big hockey stick. He'd noticed me across the street after just finishing training and figured he'd say hello.

They all just walked off and he never even realised that he'd just inadvertently saved my ass. I barely know the guy, had only met him once before that and haven't really spoken to him much since. To this day he doesn't know that noticing me across the street and coming over to say hello did me a massive favour.

Christ
How bad were your trousers FFS?

Chavs were beating you up because of your dress sense?
It's a pity they didn't stay in school long enough to understand the concept of irony...
