Sometimes you need to show a little steam in those situations, and they'll back off.

I once got into a tough little situation walking alone in the evening in my kilt, where three young men close to my age approached me and started giving me crap about it. I was trying to politely get it over with and move on, but one of them said something to the effect of him wanting to beat me up.

I just looked him dead in the eye and asked him, "Do you really want your little buddies here to have to tell everyone that you got the snot stomped out of you by a man in a skirt?" I then walked straight past him, catching him with my shoulder, and said "Evening," not looking at them at all.

They just walked away.
