    What an absolute champion. I always knew Benadryl Carpetstench was one of the good guys. Great to see people doing things for the sake of helping other people once in a while.

    I wonder how much this changes a person. Like, you’re on the street beating up a delivery guy with 3 of your buddies, and a freakin movie/tv star jumps out of an uber to stop you. And not just...

    I wonder how much this changes a person. Like, you’re on the street beating up a delivery guy with 3 of your buddies, and a freakin movie/tv star jumps out of an uber to stop you. And not just that but one who plays one of the best known characters of all time that lives on a street right around the corner.

    Do you head back to your flat after running away, sit down with a cuppa and reevaluate your life choices considering the bizarre set of circumstances? Or just take a breather at the pub and then head back out to more trouble?

      I feel like you're just describing the two reactions that a British person can have to a situation. /s But in all honesty I don't think there's anything that could make you be more introspective...

      But in all honesty I don't think there's anything that could make you be more introspective about your actions as being negative when they get cast into the spotlight by a celebrity like that. Not to mention any street cred that you had before the incident would be demolished among your peers for getting your ass handed to you by Benedict Cumberbatch.

        Not if your only friends were having their ass handed to them with you.

      For me, it'd be the second option, I think.
