I wish my editor of choice had Drug and Drop capabilities.

I was accosted again last night - the first time since I began "dressing down" to stop getting bothered. It's worked like gangbusters, but this time it was someone I pissed off before I started my self-imposed-clothing-exile.

A month or two ago (has it been that long?) a guy hassled me for money. I literally didn't have any to give him. He asked for a dollar, when I didn't have it, he asked for fifty cents, then twenty five. I didn't have any cash on me at all. He just kinda snarled at me, and I wakled off.

Last night, he was on the bus with me, and when we both exited the bus at the same time, he asked me abuot buying pot from him. I told him no. "Cause you don't have any money again, right? You don't have to lie to me, you know." I never stopped walking to my truck, I just said "I don't smoke" and got in. He started walking to my truck asking me if I remembered hiom, but I pretended I didn't hear him cause my door was closed and drove home.

It wasn't anything major, but really colored my derams, where, after going into a part of town taht wasn't so good, I was being hassled by three kids who were trying to push me into traffic and kill me. After their third time, I turned on them, and began beating one of them as hard as I could, all she did was laugh. After some police came and arrested everyone I woke up.

I really hate taking the bus.....

If you see him again, even from a distance, I'd suggest calling the police, and telling them you believe he's stalking you. If he's accosting you on multiple occasions, it would seem more likely that they'd want to intervene, maybe?

*seconds* While I doubt the police will actually do anything until there's an actual altercation, it's not a bad idea to alert them to a potential problem. Get it on the record.

Would you say this guy's a panhandler? Some cities have laws on the books regarding where panhandlers may do their thing: is your part of the world among them? Might be worth checking out in case he's in violation. You'd have something more concrete to report to the cops, in addition to the stalking.

*re-reads OP* Okay, I just realized that now he's trying to sell you an illegal substance, which in itself is illegal. May make it more cop-worthy...
