shocked
I was walking from the garage where i work to the bikeshop round the corner from us to order a set of tyres.
I had to walk a path between the industrial units which is narrow so i was tight to the right hand side. in
A fairly large fella was walking towards me with headphones in and when we got closer he stopped right in front of me and told me to move over to let him pass.
Wtf. i was on the right and he wanted me on the left.
I said you move why should I
he said he was walking that side so i said so was i .
So he puts up his hands like a boxer and said its going like this then.
So i am a bit riled and tbh scared but took off my glasses and stepped out of his reach and took up my muay thai stance and said go for it big man.
He then goes to me my wife left me.
i am proper confused by yhe whole thing by now.
I asked if he thinks fighting with a complete stranger is the answer and he puts his head down moves out the way and thanks me .
This is no lie .exactly as it happened less than an hour ago.
I dont know what to think tbh
what would you guys have done?
Should i let the authorities know as he may do something to himself or someone else.
Or am i overthinking the whole thing.

Real answer - Let him past and move on swiftly watching your back and get into a public place and if you felt you were threatened report it.
Alternative answer - As you did, but the outcome could have been far worse for either party, and if you got the upper hand you could be facing GBH charges (your word against his)

Definately the sensible option rob.
But.
Male pride i suppose!
The idea of doing what he told me too stuck in my craw.
If he had politely asked i would have moved.

I had a similar position whilst at a pub once, he told me to move at the bar whilst nudging his elbow into my misses shoulder (shes only 4'11") and was 'just' preganant so we were out celebrating or at least I was. I said "ow watch ya self" he said "make me".... He then gripped me by the throat very quickly, so quick I didnt see it. I said let go through what breath I had, he clearly declined for a further few seconds (I struggled to breath), so I litterally gripped his nuts and dropped him like a sack of spuds and didnt let go for a while 
. I finished my drink at the other end of the bar with the misses and on my way out he spat in my face. No violence or swearing from me, so why? I got home later and called the police to reported it. The plod arrived three days later to which I told them to **** off (bruises on neck) as I said I would deal with it my own way. As luck would have it he got his own comeuppance, and it wasnt anything to do with me, he was just unlucky in life!

The trick is to avoid them, not by being meek but realising how the exchanges escalate. If someone says what you looking at you got to give some neutral reply. Don't say 'you'.
But then you always get ***** who are looking for a fight from the get-go.
Difficult if you have your misses with your, you want to protect her and not look like a wimp.
I don't fight if I can help it. Never fight fair. I'd rather wrap a chair around their head when they are looking the other way, then go toe-to-toe for no reason other than honor.
If there is more than one, run.

I would have used my streetcraft skills and told the guy to move using my gangsta speak, "yo' move or I'll pop a cap in yo' *** yo' muva****er!" whilst pointing my hand at him with a gun gesture.

LOL I remembered when the ex-files first used a not-so-new-now gangsta term in our after-work chit-chat. "Oh, my boss is such a kn@b that he brings work to me just before I am to leave the office!
I told him- I ain't no one's b1tch ", Yo' undastanda? See yo' tomorrow at 9am, b1tch. 
LOL that "I ain't no one's b1tch!" became a giggle material for a good while.

TX, I couldn't figure out either what he was saying in his post- to start with. I have just read his post again for the third time, and I have eventually got it.
Not that you asked me to de-code, but I sympathise with you. So, I am going to help you. What he meant was that the bully bloke was unnecessarily picking a fight with the innocent Stevie, because the bully's wife had left him. On hearing so, Stevie was proper confused because he didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or to rip him apart in two. Stevie even took his glasses off and challenged the bully in "Come on, then!
" fashion. Just like that Eddie Redmayne does to the French soldiers in Birdsong at the end. Well, if you are gonna get leathered unarmed with the stronger one, you might as well get leathered with some dignity by showing some RAAAAAR, eh? Fair enough. 
But before ripping him apart, Stevie sensibly asked him if fighting with a complete stranger was the answer to his wife deserting him. This is called pricking someone's conscience. Hurrah, it worked! 
(not that it always does). The bully hung his head down in sorta shame mixed with grief 
and thanked Stevie for helping him to realise that taking it out at random peeps is not the answer. He should fight with the pillow or something instead.
So, basically, the bully eventually had a turn of heart. He went off quietly; leaving Stevie happy with his fast bike.
Now, Stevie with the fast bikes is worried whether to report the bully to the authorities because he may be a danger to himself or to others.
I hope that clarifies.
