mh--, stalking???
Went out into town today to update the name on my mortgage and get some lunch.
On my way to catch the bus home a white guy waves to get my attention.
Me: "Hello."
Him: "Your hair is nice."
Me: "Thank you?"
"I used to have hair like that."
"Okay. Sorry, how can I help?"
"I'm Armenian and..."
So I tune out at this point; It's likely a scam so I wave my hand. "Sorry I've got a bus to catch" and start walking away. 1/2
mh--, stalking???
After five seconds he runs up to start walking beside me
"Are you a racist? Is it because I'm Armenian?"
At this point my flight/fight responds kicks in and I just start running, shouting back at them to stop following me but also so other people hear the commotion.
Thankfully he didn't follow me anymore, but jeez fuck I haven't felt that scared since high school.
I meant to go grocery shopping but instead just went back home.
@renbymon Shit, I'm really sorry that happened. I'm glad you're okay. *hugs*
@Bowsette I'm back home at least so there's that.
Also got a couple of jobs done today so it's not a complete bust.
mh--, stalking???

Just to clarify this was a pretty unassuming white guy; nothing about him shouted bad news until he started the stanard scam spiel; compliments, then convoluted story to keep me distracted/let my guard down.
