Scary moment last night while getting my BOGO pizza

While I was getting into my car, I had a man approach me.

Scared.the.living.crap out of me.

I got in my car, put the pizza on the passenger seat, went to close my door and there was a man standing there.

He then squated down so I could'nt close my door. He had a duffle bag with him and began to open it.  He told me he was a homeless vet and wanted/needed money. I told him I didnt have any money. He then asked me for a ride to the Homeless Shelter. I told him if he didnt get away from me I pushing the phone button the sterling wheel and calling the cops.

He insisted all he wanted was money and I had to tell him three times to move or I was hitting the panic button on my car and calling the cops.

He finally got up and walked away.

I was so on edge the rest of the night and I told B I am never going anywhere in the dark again.

  • How scary!!  I would have been freaked out the rest of the night too.  You definitely handled it the situation well though.  Thank God we have panic buttons on our fobs!

  • scary!  Good for you for remaining calm...I'm not sure what I would have done in that situation. 

    My sister, who will go running through the neighborhood in the dark, came home one evening and said to my parents that she's going to (try) and not go shopping in the dark any more if she can help it.  There's just too many creeps out there.

    DH pretty much won't let me go places when it's dark out - especially with R...and even more so now that I'm pregnant.

  • That is so scary Angi!!  I'm glad nothing happened.

    I probably wouldn't leave my house anymore if that had happened to me.

  • OMG!! Scary! I probably would have pushed my panic button! :o) I remember years ago I was in the parking lot at the atm @ Reynolds & Heatherdowns and as I was waiting for my money some random bum started banging on my passenger window asking for money. I was so scared! I was alone and just wanted to get my atm card back out of the machine! I was heading to the Bait Shop & I think I was scared to go in b/c I didn't want him to follow me!! I was just glad he didn't come around the other side!
  • Wow, very scary.  I'm glad it turned out good and that you are ok.  What neighborhood were you in?
