I disagree with the pervasive idea that "two wrongs make a right" (and more generally with retributive justice, but that's another tangent altogether). I just do my best to avoid the person or tolerate their behaviour if it's not too serious. If it is serious, I'd rather contact the relevant authorities and let them handle it.
You know what, it does. But, sometimes those personal moral philosophies can teach others a lesson. It teaches them that you're not playing any games with them anymore. If you match their energy, then I guarantee you they'll start to change their behavior and develop a different opinion about you. Get in their face and let them know what the deal is.
If the big dog starts barking at you, bark back at them. Remember, every scenario can't be avoided because there are times where you'll have to handle certain situations on your on. If it's a gang of people, yeah I'd avoid it and call the authorities. But not for just one person.
