I was eating a donut by the window of a donut shop, and a guy stopped in front of me, pointed to me, pointed to his mouth, pointed to his crotch, and showed me a ten dollar bill. I had no idea what to do, so I just tried to avoid looking at him, but he wouldn’t go away. Luckily, there was a person next to me who shook his head no. I felt so helpless and uncomfortable.
