You might do if you were expecting it. I've had a couple of
occassions when completely out of the blue someone got
extremely abusive, leaving me very much taken aback and
genuinely wondering "Where TF did *that* come from ?"

On both occassions it was not me that was the problem, but the
persons were venting and I happened to be in right place at the
right time. Even if they had gone berko to a lesser degree, things
are still said which are not quickly forgotten

If I'd known some sort of venom was coming my way, deserved
or not but directed at me personally nevertheless, I'd have been
prepared and not got anywhere near as upset
