Topic: Good Lord! That was scary

[Mooning Freddy]

So I was waiting for the bus from my university today. I must say the station is not located at the best part of the city but I am not often concerned by that.

I am just standing there, next to to station, waiting. Lots of people passing by, not paying too much attention, until two Arab men pass by. Suddenly one of them stops and approaches me. He stops like, right in front of me, a step away, in an arms'-reach. I was waiting for him to say something but he didn't, he just stood there, staring at me suspiciously.

I must say, I tend not to be too racially-paranoid but as he kept staring at me it was becoming downright creepy.
At this kind of situation, a man tends to expect the worst- the guy pulling out a knife at you. I was trying not to panic.
But then I realized he's not as much staring at me as on my stuff. I had several bags. Mostly books and clothing in them but also my laptop. and I was holding it tightly with a belt around my neck.

He was scanning me with his look from head to toe. Is he planning to snatch my stuff? Don't you do anything stupid, I thought.
And then, a second later, he just turns around and walks away. I was following him as he disappeared in the distance, never turning back. The whole encounter was like 15-20 seconds. God damn. I am almost certain he was planning to snatch my stuff but decided it isn't worth the effort.

That is not swell never know what people may do now a days, also was it during the day or at night time (it seems that is the time for people to do unjust/odd things).
             
     And one more thing you seem to have 666 posts just wanted to point that out.

And one more thing you seem to have 666 posts just wanted to point that out.

666 actually has nothing to do with superstition. It, like it's close brethren '616', is nothing more then the address of the one infamous Emperor Nero of Rome. Nero was really f**ked up in the head so in that sense I guess these two numbers could be bad luck or something.

Mooning Freddy... I really don't know how to interpret that experience myself as I have never been in one. I guess it's a good thing you didn't overreact and do something that would have lead to a bad situation. If I might hap-hazard a guess he was probably studying you. Religious or otherwise I have no idea. But if he had bothered to learn anything about "communication" then what he did was just plan rude. Then of course people like that never bothered to learn about other things such as manners, personal space, etc. and close themselves up in their own minds.

If you think this is bad you should have been around during the dark ages when there was only feudal law... especially if you were a woman in an outlying village away from a castle where you could be raped and killed by a rival Lord's knights at literally any moment of the day or night. Yeah, the good old days. My ass!

If you think this is bad you should have been around during the dark ages 90's when there was only feudal Taliban law... especially if you were a woman in an outlying village away from a castle where you could be raped and killed by a rival Lord's knights nearly anyone at literally any moment of the day or night. Yeah, the good old days. My ass!

lol fixed.

@Neobelmont yeah I guess it was in night time but not too late. Around 8 o'clock. There were plenty of people passing by but nobody really paid attention. I would have ignored that but the guy was literally IN MY FACE. Just wondered if anyone had to go through anything similar.
Also about the 666 lol not anymore

Maybe he was trying to use his psychic powers to talk to you.

Okay this reminds me of The 'Twelve Tasks of Astrix' when they went to see the Egyptian Magician;

"By Osiris and by Apis look at me, look into my eyes! You have turned into... Into what I wonder?"
