Guy says I was staring at his wife with bad intent?
I was at the supermarket, and there was a deal for those Japanese mango ice creams, so I'm like, I'll go get one. The ice cream got sold out, and I was walking around just looking at other stuff, and I guess I was in some aisles with a wife and husband with a cart, and a baby in a stroller. The thing is, I didn't even look at them this whole time. They're in the meat section, and an employee was riding those mopping machines.
And now I'm looking at the mopping machine going past the couple, and in my head I'm like they better move for the machine (they didn't, they forced him to maneuver the machine around them). I guess the guy looks back and sees me looking their way. He comes up to me, goes "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? I SAW YOU A FEW TIMES." At this point, I'm like what do you mean?? And his like what are you looking for?? and at that point I was just mindlessly strolling, so I wasn't looking at anything specific. I go, I'm looking for spices, and he goes why were you looking in that direction?? and then he goes on to threaten to punch me! And he's like get out of here and he's super loud at this point, and right up to my face. I walk away, and everyone is staring. We were in the corner of the store, and only the people in the corner saw the whole ordeal. Left whatever items I had in my hand and left the store.
Lesson learned for me is don't look at a man or woman and walk like you're blind (but that might still cause people to accuse you of staring at them with bad intent if your face is in their direction). Also gonna stop being curious or observing people. Was I looking their way? Possibly. But was I staring at his wife? No!!
