Thread: Question about Drunk people in Finland

mmmmm Ali !!!!! seems that someone had bother you but dont say you kicked the shit out of him .
usually just ignore but politly cause the more you become bad the more they annoy you ,I was first becoming so angry but then I just realize its no need to be cause they just drunk and I think the law is with them if only if you kick the shit out of them as I hope you didnt did it

Good observation. Advice given to me regarding drunks in Finland is to not make eye contact with them. They are much less likely to bother you if you don't make eye contact. If they still bother you, ignoring them seems to me to be less bother than beating the shit out of them (Finnish law beside the point). If they are bothering someone else then it seems to me that it is someone else's problem.

this is good advice to follow. also, i hear if you make a lot of noise or bang some pots together the drunks will be scared off. if you are attacked try to play dead. they will harangue and make alot of noise but eventually will move off and look for food elsewhere. dont forget to leave your food high up where they might be able to smell it but cant get to it. good luck!

Wow! Well that puts the question in a different light. I would say you did well.

good for you. i wouldve done the same thing. but one needs to be careful with how much force one uses. i hear stories of people beating up people who started the fight and ended up having to pay money to the instigator in court. bizarre!
