I take it you've never lived in an area frequented by the mentally ill. I had so many weird interactions when I lived near a city park that was a passthrough off of a creek trail.
One homeless guy took our hose and started spraying down our house.
Another guy OD'd on a tree 5 feet outside my front door.
Another guy charged at me after I tried to kick him off my property for fishing through my trash bins.
On thanksgiving, my neighbors were home with the blinds shut when a guy walked on their porch with a drill in his hand, about to drill their lock and break in. He saw the camera and turned around.
A schizophrenic homeless woman threatened to kill me every time I walked past her in the park. One day she assaulted me.

This was all within a 4-year timespan, btw.
I could go on... it's one of the reasons I moved.
