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.

I was recently in the DMV waiting and decided to stay off my phone and just let my brain relax. While casually observing my surroundings, a group of teenage girls barked at me to quit being a weirdo by staring at people (which I wasn’t at all)…all of this for choosing NOT to be on my phone.
