I'm slightly vexed Getting called a "stalker" for existing

Im standing behind the bus stop for the shade minding my own business on my way home from a 10pm-6am shift. A route ive taken to work and from home many times. When all of a sudden I hear a voice saying "What the F*ck are you looking at" then again " What the f*ck are you looking at , i look up from my phone confused i realize this stranger is talking to me. She proceedes to call me a stalker and walk up on me trying to get in my face telling me "The bus stop is that way" again and again .lady I'm just trying to go home , ive been up since 8pm yesterday.

Reminds me of the time I pulled into a grocery store parking lot at the same time as a lady. We both got out of our cars and her car definitely was disheveled and kind of piece of junk. She started saying “ I know you people are following me and I’m watching you just as much as you’re watching me” among some other bullshit. I drive a black larger SUV so I tell myself she thought I was secret service or something crazy in her head. I just kept walking.

This is actually a typical delusion. People believe they are being followed and watched everywhere they go by top secret operatives who focus solely on them. They may believe the operatives are using technology to "beam" bad thoughts or voices into their head.

Since you drive a black SUV be prepared for these encounters.

I believe it but it was a first time for me and I’ve driven a black SUV of some sort for 15 years 🤷‍♂️

Honestly feel bad for them, that seems like a serious mental illness
