It was a nice sunny day. I was just putting stuff in the back of my car trunk when all of a sudden a car rolls up really slowly next to me. Profane music is blaring and a man is yelling things at me (mostly on the subject of “that ass”) and is videotaping me with his phone. My mouth is wide open at this point and I’m just standing there, frozen. Finally he drives away and I get in my car and just I’m shocked. Then I start crying and breathing really fast. I’m not usually the type to get flustered or nervous but this was just. wow.
