Beware Ladies While Exercising!

[LesKra 8]

I was walking around my neighborhood getting some exercise today around 11:30am. I like to think that I am alert when it comes to making sure I am safe and not going to get run over walking. I don't listen to music extremely loud or anything and try to be aware of my surroundings. But something crazy happened today!

I had been walking for 10min and was needing to cross a street to get to the other side. This truck pulls up next to me while I am at the stop sign. I look over to make sure he isn't going to go first and then I look both ways to cross the street. I jog across the street and the truck pulls up to me on the side of the road and stops to ask me a question. I take my ear buds out and he asks where "hard top road is". I said I had no idea and then he proceeded to ask again...this time nodding towards his lap. THE MAN HAD NO PANTS ON AND WAS BEING A PERVERT TO ME! He exposed his complete self to me on purpose. I freaked out and yelled OMG and starting to try and get away from him. I proceeded to call 911 and gave the police a report. He ended up watching me for a little bit and then drove off before all the cop cars showed up.

Ladies please be careful when exercising. I live in a good neighborhood and never thought this would have happened to me. When exercising you should always have your phone on you of you are by yourself. He was a normal looking guy who was younger around my age (23). He wasn't anyone that looked like a creeper or a weirdo. He wasn't playing a joke...it was so serious.

I was so freaked out that I couldnt really give much detail other than what he was driving and the color of the vehicle. I will next time snap a quick picture of the vehicle or try and memorize the license plate. They tried to find him by my description...just hope they did!

I didnt realize that the question was meant to be perverted until afterwards so noone ever try to answer it! Lol

I'm sorry that happened; I know it can be a freak-out. When I was in college, I worked at a Burger King on the night shift. There were stories about a guy who would come through the drive-through lane without any pants on, just to provoke a horrified reaction from the girls working the counter. One night, yep, there he was--I was surprised to see "Mr Happy" right there--so surprised that I "accidentally" tossed the contents of a large, cold soda directly onto his lap. I still don't know what made me do that--it was sort of an instinctive thing. He drove off in a hurry. We called the police; a nice young officer showed up quickly, took my report, started snickering, and went to go round the guy up--evidently he was well known to the police, and he hadn't bothered to take the plates off his car or anything. I never saw him again, so maybe we cooled his Burger King craving...

But seriously, if you feel threatened or in danger in any way, take a friend with you to exercise! If it had happened to me the way it happened to you, I'd probably change my route for a few days and definitely take a friend and be on the lookout for creepy man with my camera in hand.

Holy cow that's crazy! Glad your okay! I live in NYC so I'm unfortunately used to seeing all sorts of crazy things and have encountered my share of weirdos on the subway. There was a homeless guy who would ride my train line who liked to flash people. Sure enough I get on an empty train car and he gets on and it's flashing time! Luckily the conductor was right next to my car and he came out and called the cops. I also was on te train once around 5 am (crazy people always are out at this time lol) and in a semi full train I say across from a guy who was rubbing himself very noticeably though his jeans. I just got off and waited for the next train. There are so many crazy people out...Just glad you were okay. I agree maybe try a different route for a while just incase.
