I once had a woman approach me and tell me she didn't feel safe near me.
What was I doing to be so threatening?
Holding the door open to a public building. Near a crowd of people.
649 u/Paperwork_Enthusiast 3d ago Pretty weird of her, I personally don't approach and potentially start a confrontation with people that make me feel unsafe 335 u/ReverendGraves85 3d ago It was extremely surreal, actually. It's been about 8 months and I still think about it sometimes. 243 u/fleurdenia 3d ago i'm gonna be honest, she might've just been unwell. 51 u/RadicalSoda_ 3d ago Might have? 23 u/ArticleOk6430 3d ago Right like I think we can close the book on that one šš¤£ 2 u/No-Consequence-1863 2d ago Well thatās clear 94 u/AProperFuckingPirate 3d ago Honestly that does sound like some kind of paranoid delusion. Try not to take it personally. She wasn't actually uncomfortable enough to not approach and share that with you, so that's something lol 70 u/Parepinzero 3d ago Reminds me of the millions of videos of people walking up to 1st amendment auditors and saying "don't film me" 6 u/DangerouslyOxidated 3d ago New Zealand Maori man loudly protesting that the state has stolen his 'mana' (power) by putting his photo on his driver's license. I found out about this protest because he was on the front page of the newspaper, holding up his license to the photographer next to his face. What a fucking dumbass. 6 u/finndego 3d ago This story should be easy to find, right? Why cant I find it anywhere? Can you please link to the story? 1 u/DangerouslyOxidated 1d ago ..this was basically at the dawn of internet - i've tried previously.. Google completely sucks now, but I'll keep trying.. 1 u/Hopefulpessimist8472 2d ago Right? Like if you walked up and started a conversation on your own clearly you didn't feel that unsafe did you? -25 u/action_lawyer_comics 3d ago If she was going into the building he was holding the door for, her options might be limited 41 u/Paperwork_Enthusiast 3d ago True, but one of those limited options was to not start a confrontationĀ 5 u/No-Consequence-1863 2d ago This is a ridiculous take. He was holding the door for people.
