When Push Comes To Shove...

Don't. Don't do anything. In fact , just walk away.

The best decision is to, instead, think about the action you would've chosen and evaluate the consequences. This method is commonly referred to as the "Stop And Think" method, and is very different from the "Do and Regret," method, which garners much worse results.

"Stopping and Thinking" usually has a very high success rate, unless you're "Totally Screwed," in which case, nothing will help at all.

Trial and error do not apply here, as there just isn't enough time. You don't want "Pushing Coming to Shoving" to become "Shit Hitting the Fan."

If you've thought the equation out properly, the steps taken should be: 1. Confrontation 2. Evaluation 3. Act. Have a nice day.
