A late 20s early 30 guy was walking in front of me after he just exited a McDonald’s and then proceeded to walk slow in front of me and then would do a side eye to see my reaction. He would then briefly gesture as if letting me through and then would quickly resume position of not letting me through. I said “this fucker” and he replied with “go ahead do something” and I just got so mad I nearly cried. He would increase the speed of his pace and then slow down just to edge me and I was becoming more and more flustered all the while he kept doing the funny side eye. I didn’t think the situation called for violence because I could easily have pulled his top hat over his side eye and then kick his balls but then I would be in trouble. He kept doing it for about 5 minutes and then he took his hat off and offered me an apple that was hiding in his hat and I said no thank you and then he balanced it on his head and put the hat back on. I just walked on the road for a bit and then ran away and caught the train home. Not a very nice experience

The top hat is to protect the apple from electrical infetterence

Nope. I was across the street and saw it happen. Either that or I saw the exact same thing happen outside a different mcdonalds but that seems unlikely.

Honestly that's pretty civil. The steampunks in my city often involve themselves in convoluted murder plots, and are usually found dead of their own hubris just before they could abscond with the stolen jewels in their brazen airships
