Well, at least that one makes sense. But, still, you don't go saying stuff to make someone insecure about their weight & fatness! "Ugly!". WTF?! Even if you were ugly, which YOU SURE AS HELL AREN'T, you don't say that to somebody! "Slut!". What in the actual f@@@?! They know absolutely nothing about you! I'm so sorry about all the bullies that you've encountered in your life! From my experiences in 4th & 5th grade, middle school, and high school(it happened the least during those years), I know exactly how it feels to be made fun of, especially as a fellow autist! There was one particularly really hurtful bullying incident when I was in high school. "Why don't you go back to your retard class?!". That shit really f@@@ing hurt! For context, in elementary school, middle school, and high school, I had both special ed classes and regular ed classes.

As a martial artist let me tell you: Overconfidence is your biggest flaw. You don’t know if they have a knife or a gun. Get away is always the #1 priority, no fancy defense techniques will help you with an unexpected knife at your throat.

[@max_garcia]

no... self defense course don't work like that... you are not supposed to feel safer with them. Self defense courses are for self defense and they are not that much of a help without the physique to actually properly fight. You are better off training martial arts formally than picking up a random self defense on the super market. Also, real advice. Just run. A fight you never fight is safer than any fight you actually fight doesn't matter how prepared and skilled you are. People can have hidden weapons and even if they don't you aren't untouchable so you will be punched and strangled and you aren't superman so you can't just tank hits and continue fighting forever. If you do feel the need to defend yourself... a knee to the nuts and open palm to the nose afterwards is more than enough to stun anyway.

[@max_garcia]

@@Optimegatrongodzilla you'd still prefer to run first. Already know a girl that had a taser... brought it to school and showed it to us and then forgot to bring it to the bank when she was getting money out of her account at night. Pepperspray with an alarm could very well be safer cause you know they won't do much so you don't get arrogant with them and have to run.

Well,turns out that after a while I noticed two guys following me so I started to sprint to the store and told the cashier to hide me. She did and the guys just walked while looking into the store. She told me that those were some real sketchy guys and she knew about them quite well. She let her husband walk me back to the hotell. Listen to your elders

I don’t ever go to Walmart for shopping anymore. Reason for that is because there’s this Walmart associate that always harassed me about getting their in store credit card. Whenever I said I wasn’t interested the guy would never leave me alone (and would keep asking me for my ID) and when I walked away from the situation he would follow me around the store. For context I’m an 18 year old girl who’s going to college and I don’t have any friends or family around so I have to do errands alone pretty much every time. This dude was probably in his late 20s early 30s. He also kept saying that he saw me all the time in the store by myself which is creepy as well.

[@CyranofromBergerac]

"A man, in his 30's, with a nice jacket..." Oh oh oh, was it me?! That was probably me! "Whose going to pay for it?" That's not me, I don't need your money I got my own... Seriously, I had a weird experience before. I got put on a late shift at work and just got off and was walking to the bus stop down the road. A car full of young women pulled up and wanted to talk. Asked if I had a phone with Verizon or other carriers, which I did. My sixth sense was kicking in that this isn't normal and I had bad vibes. I could smell drugs, probably weed, in the car. I cut them off saying I had to get to the bus to go home (kind of a lie, I just recently got evicted and was homeless, but a friend was letting me crash with him) and they offered me a ride. I didn't trust them. I'm a big guy, black belt in Issinryu karate, former military, I can fight, but five small women inside of a car would not be ideal because my ability to defend myself would be very limited especially if they had a child lock activated which would prevent me from being able to escape. Plus they might have a knife, gun, taser, which would make it even worse. Thankfully the bus was coming by right at that moment and I flagged them down. Turns out it was a thing that happened rarely in my part of the state. Several women would kidnap people for whatever reason. Armed robbery, ransom, forcing people to commit crimes, random acts of violence against men in general (2010's, a period which hurting innocent men was acceptable to some groups of people). I haven't heard about it recently, but it could have happened to me. People just gotta be careful no matter who you are.

Good call on getting back on the car. For good meassure you should buy pepper spray just in case they start getting handsy. Getting into martial arts would be a good way to start training your entire body and breath control to enhance your endurance, stamina and speed whenever you actually need to run away. If you do get into martial arts always have in mind to run away first and do not engage in fights. Do not get into mall academies and do not leave after a short while. You gonna need at least a couple of years at a good academy for it to take an effect that is useful to stay alive. Also prioritize cardio if you can and your feet allow it. Please stay safe.

As someone who used to work for the company ill tell you that nobody in the store is allowed to do anything even if we see it so creepy people can just basically do what they want

[@negligible_reality]

because the company has policies in place that basically allow this sort of behavior to happen in their stores. employees aren't really allowed to do that much if a customer is being weird or sketchy; they aren't even allowed to stop and search customers that they know for a fact are shoplifting. the most they can do in situations like this is call the police, but they can only really do that if the situation is serious enough to warrant it. since this guy didn't actually try to cause bodily harm to them and wasn't carrying a weapon (to our knowledge, he could have had a concealed one), the store couldn't do much about it tbh. its really dumb, but that's unfortunately just how it is. walmart really needs to get new and improved policies that can protect customers and employees from creeps and maniacs in their stores, but i don't realistically see that happening any time soon.

The moment he turned around I was like "Yeah, just leave."

[@edrit]

Okay, but why is going to the store with your friends just the best?

[@ciarameehanbravo7690]

Cuz they just make it more fun and randomly crashes into stuff and you laugh UNCONTROLLABLY and then help them up ✨👏🏻😂

A little saying I follow is that nothing good happens after 11 pm. My mom works as a first responder, and though she’s in a low-call area, she says the calls after 11 are usually when it gets bad. Another time for me, I was headed home with my mom and younger siblings at like 11:30pm, when a truck swerves around my mom’s car and another car, and starts trying to race the car in front of us. On. The. Expressway. Nothing good happens after 11 pm, and stories like this further enforce my decision not to go out after a certain time. Be careful out there, people.

I always say teach those that could take advantage of others not to, and in case that should fail, we have also got to teach would be victims to avoid the freeze and fawn responses most of all.

What I would’ve said ‘And where was the part where that was *my* problem?’

[@carolinecheney]

Thx for the advice! Though if I ever have to go to the store at night, I’ll come prepared. Have a good day/night!

Yeah, you can get some crazy wonks late at night, especially if you live in a city.

[@angelicXYZ]

You're a fantastic storyteller, they're always interesting.

[@darthcoinyandstuf7348]

You should've been scared, that's when the crackheads start getting aggressive, even worse at walmart

[@panqueque445]

OK maybe I'm too paranoid but if some guy asks me something he can very easily check for himself, like if a store sells something, I'm outta there. YEET

[@Brixujel_Rimulex]

On one hand the mom was right, but on the other hand, shes the reason yall even had to go later than intended
