Posting this to debrief so will prob delete in a bit. I was just at the local shops, and jogged slightly crossing the road as the walk lights charged to orange.
As I got to the other side, this aggro-looking man held his hand up (middle βFUβ finger up) right in my face so I had to dodge my head back, and kept it in my face as I went around him. He continued glaring aggressively as I went past and away down the street.
Have never seen him before, and no idea what that was about. There are always people begging at the shops and some seem to have mental health issues, but Iβve never felt actually threatened in the 10+ years Iβve been here. He was very likely methylated or something, too (not that thatβs an excuse).
Iβm fine (and am usually tougher than this), and I know itβs very minor in the scheme of things, but am feeling upset and yuck right now.
That's horrible and I'm sorry that happened to you β₯
Thanks.. feeling better now
