We were both going to the same train. I started walking faster because the doors were about to shut and she started speeding up as well and kept looking over her shoulders rapidly as I caught up. It didn’t help that my entire outfit was black

Didn’t mean to scare you

    not saying you were doing what I'm about to describe, but walking 2 steps behind someone walking alone on an empty street is rude as shit. I'm 6' and built like a 1988 Ford Festiva, but literally yesterday two women were walking right up on my ass for like two blocks and then around a corner. I tried slowing down off to the side, but they matched pace and stayed up close, right behind me, laughing.

    it's nerve wracking on an empty street. size doesn't really matter if someone stabs you in the back or buffalos you in the back of the head or against 2 people with ill intent.

    I randomly cut across the empty street and they didn't follow, thankfully. not really sure what the next move would have been if they followed. probably a sprint followed by a myocardial infarction.

      It was 3 pm on an empty platform (because everyone was already in the train)
