Was minding my own buisness when started shouting at me and confronting over my, of all things, jacket i was wearing, i ignored him first but he said it again so i just said 'no' and kept walking, he didn't say anything else.
I'd love to know what you think but a couple things come to my mind after thinking about it
I let my guard down, and that's probably why it happened, i usually try to 'engage' with a location by taking in as much of the sorroundings as possible, doing sherlockian deductions, etc, normally i'm head on a swivel watching anything and everything, i was not like this when it happened and i do not know why, but it's highlighted a problem that i need to work on
I did not have sight of the person, i kept walking, thinking back i think this could have been really bad, what if he had a weapon? there's a big crime problem in my country
This happened broad daylight on a private property, other people were present, did this make the situation 'safer'
Aside from fixing my lack of vigilance, i'm also going to get myself the brightest pocket torch i can find, my brother recently got one that's too big to carry, but i got a direct view of it in my eyes for less then a second, wow it was horrible, it took 10 minutes for the dot in my eye to fully vanish, i might buy a couple from temu and see how good they are.
