Funny how that works, I found a cold hard stare sometimes causes reflection on the mater too. I once had a rowdy drunk causing a ruccus and just placed both hands palms down in fromt of him. leaned toward him face to face and said nothing but glared disapprovingly. He shut up and thought for a minute and just said "What?" LOL All the ladies thought I was going to bitch slap him so they hustled me to the other side of the business and tried to calm him down their way. I had to laugh when the other bartender came to get me a few minutes later and said "OK just kick his ass I don't care!" I didn't have to fortunately, he'd decided when I returned to my post he'd best leave. He almost died that night and didn't know it too. I closed the bar down for the owner that night and in having the money bag for depost as I locked up I had my gun with me. When I walked out toward my truck this guy had hung around to apologise. The scary part is, he just stepped around the corner of the building with his hand extended. If I'd been the jumpy sort he'd have had a huge hole in his somewhere and I'd probably be in deep doodoo. Luckily we sorted things out and I never had another cross word with him.
