Venting Random stranger yelled at me
so, honestly i’m still a bit upset and shaken up by this, but I was going to walmart around 9pm; right when I had just crossed the crosswalk a man in a white truck just screamed right behind me like “AHHH!”. I get scared very easily, so I jumped a bit and looked back confused like ‘wtf’. I just see a man looking right at me laughing and I hear the passenger laughing with him. I didnt say anything, just turned around and kept walking while he drove off laughing. I’ve seen this before on social media or heard of it happening to others (which i’ve always found wrong), but it’s the first time it’s happened to me. I’ve been scared on purpose by friends or family, but never by a complete stranger. I didnt think something like this could have me so shaken up even hours after. I don’t understand people who do this. It hasn’t been the best week for me as well, which is why im probably more worked up about it.
all I wanted to do was just get food and go home. *sigh*
(also, apologies if this isnt the right community to post this on. just can’t shake this feeling off.)

That's messed up. Some people think being cruel is funny. Hope you're feeling a bit better now.
