A creepy man tried to get me to come over to his truck the other day. I was walking down the street and saw him at his house, in the driveway. I try to make an effort to acknowledge everyone I walk by. His dogs were barking and had scared the man in front of me off of the sidewalk and onto the other side of the road. Following in the other walker's tracks, I spoke to the dog owner jokingly saying, "They're doing their job, aren't they?" The man didn't say anything back to me. He just gestured for me to come closer and pointed into the back of his pick up truck. I looked with crooked eyebrows and said, "What?" He said, "Come here. Do you want some of this?" And then he pointed at something I couldn't see in the back of the truck. I looked at him with a grossed out face that probably said something like, "You've gotta be kidding me!" He figured out that I was uncomfortable and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just kidding. I just wanted to say 'Hello'." He moved a little closer and I moved further away. I said, "Hello, then." picked up my step, and got out of dodge.
GROSS! Yuck! Sick! Bleh! Cringe!
