Body Language

The other day, I was wandering around and found myself at a bus stop across the street from this burger joint.

I was just standing there, minding my own business while also feeling for the pepper spray in my pocket, when a man came out of the front door of this darkened restaurant. He just stood there in the shadows with his hands on his hips, staring in my direction. I just kept standing there, acting like I didn't notice him. He started waving his hand to say hi. I don't even acknowledge it. Then he started waving at me to come across the street in increasing tempo. I continued to not partake in this strange miming game. I did, however, uncap the pepper spray in my pocket.

He continued to try to get me over to his side of the tracks up until a few minutes before the bus pulled up. As I boarded, I yelled "Sorry, I didn't feel like getting raped tonight. Try tomorrow." He then went back inside the restaurant.
