Look I try my hardest not to be easily offended but I do not take threats to my person lightly. Let me set a scene.
I got home from work and decided to wash my car.
I changed into running Capri pants and a tank top.
I washed my car.
THAT'S IT!
While bent over scrubbing bug guts off my bumper I heard "*sucking teeth* Yea gurl".
I glanced over my shoulder and saw 5 teenage boys on bikes riding by. I IGNORED them.
They stopped not far from my house but said nothing else. They were making me uncomfortable because I knew they were watching me.
After wearing myself out scrubbing BUG GUTS and bird $hit off my car, I had no muscle power left to Rain-X my windshield, so I asked my other half for help. As he was wiping my windshield I was picking up the washing supplies. Those "kids" came back by right as I walked inside. That's when I heard something that made my skin crawl. I heard *in a deep voice*, "hey man, Ima F**K your wife."
My husband reacted (NOT violently) and they took off. While my neighbor who happened to be outside BBQ-ing yelled something about them being disrespectful.
We aren't talking about a bunch of ankle biters. These teens were much bigger than little old me, some bigger than my husband. It wasn't an "appreciation" of my body (which is still a bit uncalled for), that was a vile statement. He didn't say "Your wife is hot", he said "Ima f**k your wife".
It was a statement of fact. You didn't hear it, there was a clear threat in his voice. My gut said run. I was legitimately frightened. My husband is concerned for me. He doesn't want me to be home alone. And honestly I don't think he is overreacting. It may have been a "funny" joke to them but it made me extremely uncomfortable.
I shouldn't feel unsafe in and around my own home. I don't know them. They aren't kids from my neighborhood. What if they come back when I am home alone? What if they actually mean me harm?
I'm just glad my other neighbor was outside and heard all of it.
And just to clarify there was no sexy bending...there was no wet t-shirt...there was nothing that suggested I wanted any type of attention much less THAT kind of attention. I was just washing my f**king car!
I'm sure if they were confronted they would say it was all in harmless fun. Yea I bet that's what people say when they threaten the President online. "Oh it was just a joke, no need to overreact" until that one time, it isn't JUST a joke.
Most people will say life gives them Lemons at some point in their life, and the common response is "Make Lemonade". Well I want to say I am tired of making lemonade! Why can't life give me a better 'fruit'? I hope you can learn something or at least be amused by some of the off the wall things that happen in my life. I will also post random product reviews, movie reviews, book reviews, etc...I am a random person and like to keep all my lemons in one place.
