As I was parking and about to walk up to my home, a neighbor (I assume) was pulling out of their driveway. I noticed that they stopped the car for longer than normal and immediately felt the all-too-familiar tensing up right before a potential harassment situation, and quickly moved to get my things out of my car and go inside. Of course, they pulled up and yelled, “Hey baby” out of their black truck at me and honked. I ignored them entirely and went into my house as they drove off.
I’m still a bit shaken but mostly very angry that I can’t even navigate my own neighborhood without this sort of treatment. I will now constantly be wary of this black truck and whoever lives in that house.
