I (24F) was filling up gas last night with my sister in the car while we were on our way home. It was dark outside but since our area is usually safe and doesn’t have many homeless people like in the city, I wasn’t expecting any weirdos to be out until this stupid guy came out from the store asking me for money.
I’m used to dealing to dealing with this in the city so I just shook my head and ignored him while I was filling up gas. He wasn’t being aggressive just annoying so I figured he would leave us alone but then he went to my older sister’s side of the car and I texted her there was someone there but then another trucker nearby told him to leave us alone and then thankfully he left.
I’m just mad at myself for not saying or doing more because he could’ve potentially hurt my sister. I wished I had gone over and told him to fuck off myself instead of being frozen in place but I was just too nervous that if I did anything he would pull out a gun. I do train in MT and BJJ but I’ve only been doing it for a year and I’d be too scared to actually fight someone on the streets unless they hit me first.
How do I start being more assertive with creepy or aggressive people on the streets?
Thanks!
