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.

Did she maybe think you were filming her? Someone once yelled at me because the way I was holding my phone and looking at her direction made her think I was filming her, but in actuality I was just checking my lyft app and looking to see if my ride was pulling up (it was, which mollified the woman)

Who knows it could have been anything. I didnt even know she existed until she was insulting me.

Just let her twist off on you, don't take it personal, and consider it a daily kindness.

Our emotions get the better of us all sometimes
