Current Events > I was waiting at a bus stop last night and some guy gave me guff

(+) Yeah! (+)

It was about 1 in the morning. he was probably homeless or mentally ill. I was looking at my phone and he walked around me while I was sitting on a bench and he got in my personal space while kicking around trash on the pavement. then he got close enough to whisper "there you go, precious."

He walked away and looked back. I stared him down and he said "what are you gonna do about it?" I wasnt prepared to get in a roast battle with this guy so what I said was pretty lame. "Nothing, you didn't touch any of my stuff."

Him: Don't ever touch any of my stuff again.

Me: I didn't touch your shit.

He walked away and another guy came up on a bike and asked if I can help. I plainly said no. I was ready to fight someone at this point.

I hate that this guy being a dick was enough to make me want to fight him. I at least wish I had joned him better. But if he'd wanted to hurt me, he could have done so when he flanked me while I was looking at my phone since I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of acknowledging him until he whispered at me. Then I was ready to go.

I haven't had something like that happen in a while and I don't like that it riled me enough to react.

Be safe out there, man. Fucking crazies are about in droves.

Get strapped. Next time they could attack.

Actually, the last thing where someone got in my space was when I was standing in front of some train tracks and this goofball came up behind me and slid his hands on my stomach. I slapped his hands away and got in a fighter stance and he was just laughing and put his hand up for a high five. It's when I'm vulnerable like that when I get really agitated. But In either case it's a guy who wants a reaction and goes over the line when I don't give it.

I say all this because it worries me that i could explode on some mentally ill person who crosses the line and that'd be bad for me.

Seriously, it's hard to even walk around outside in public in my town without being stopped or accosted. Mostly just to ask for money but some people seem to just want to start a bizarre/hostile interaction with you for some reason (like your story TC).

I was in line at a drive-thru the other day and some lady just comes up to my car and bangs on my window. I didn't roll it down but I could hear her ask for money or something to eat. I was pretty taken aback so just made a "no" gesture with my hand. She bangs on my car again and says "fucking pig!!!" and walks on to the next person.
