I was at the park today, enjoying a soda and listening to Revolver in my car. I was kind of half keeping an eye out for what was going on around me.
About a month ago I was parked at night near my house at a deserted shopping center. It had shut down and went out of business so sometimes I just go in the parking lot to get out of the house when I need space.
A van with a young girl drove by and she looks at me and I looked at her. And then she kept driving close and she had some guy with her. IDK what their trip was but after awhile I just glared and they got pissed and there was a little standoff. They decided to leave and. I admit it made me nervous and. I left. It could have been ugly and I thought. I could have handled it better.
So today, the exact same thing happened. A van with a teen girl and a guy drove by. But I learned from the past incident. They went by once and I thought it was innocent. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Then they came by a second time. I remembered the last time so I didn’t glare or try to scare them. I caught their eye and gave them a look like, “You’re cool, but I’m a little suspicious.”
And then they drove by a third time and I caught their eye and they acted like it was a coincidence and they tried to play dumb and. I was only 50% sure they were thinking of me. Then they drove by a fourth time acting like it had nothing to do with me. By this time I knew they were very suspicious and they were driving all around the big parking lot. I just said screw it, I tried to respect them and they’re playing for a fool so I stared and glared at them and threw in some laughter for good measure. Idiots.
They parked and I thought it was over with but by this time I didn’t trust them worth a damn. A fifth time and I just stared at them unmistakeably like they were crazy and lame. It finally ended and they left. I have to admit it bugged me but it was kind of fun making fools of them.
It has nothing to do with what happened today. Sorry if I’m a little short. At first I thought I imagined the disrespect in your answers to me. Now it’s unmistakable and disturbs me.
You’re being paranoid. @anon78876561 is the least disrespectful person I know.
And those kids either wanted to be alone to make out or were trying to figure out what sort of thing a grown man by himself is doing at an abandoned shopping center.
@anon4362788, it was two different incidents and these parking lots are huge. They sought me out when I’m peaceably sitting in my car. Why should I give them the benefit of the doubt when they go out of their way to drive by me 5 times. To me, that spells looking for trouble.
And last time, I checked, it’s a free country and sitting in a car listening to the radio doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.
Some ppl just like to provoke others, I had a friend like that who likes to annoy ppl. He creates fights in clubs often. He was a trouble maker. I left him bcz he got me into fights and I don’t want to get stabbed or shot one day.
