I almost had something similar go down Friday or Saturday night.

I was at the grocery store 8:30sh to 9:00 in the evening and the grocery store is sparse for personnel (no men at times). In my check out line 2 white men (late 20's early 30's) immediately in front of me are buying a case of beer etc and they are flirting with the check out girl.

Well they wont let up they are becoming more and more forward, asking her if she has a tattoo will she show them and so on, and the girl is getting very uncomfortable with the situation looking like its going to get out of control.

Well by now I had enough of it too, and I go 'HEY, ENOUGH ALREADY.., LATER..,' and I wave them off/away .

Well that stops them and the main instigator (perp) looks right at me, so we decide to have a little stare down (imagine good-bad-ugly soundtrak)LOL.

They leave the store, but I knew the odds of them waiting out there for me was about 95%, because thugs don’t like not getting their way nor being shown down.

So on the way out the store I thought about that (all I had was a Husky folding utility knife with the carpet cutter blade in it, actually they are pretty good). So I remembered it was there if I really needed it.

So I come out of the store and sure enough.., 2 lanes off to the left and about 100' out into the parking lot 'my pals' have decided to 'toss a football' for a few minutes (yeh right), and now there are 4 of them.

So I walk to my vehicle without letting on I know they are out there, load my groceries into the truck. As soon as I get into the truck loaded and shut the door, now all the sudden their need for football is over and they all jump into the car and slam the doors.

So I decide to test them a little more. Normally I don’t drive cross lanes in the parking but here I did as a test, because this put me behind and outside of them and going a direction that would counter-intuitive route to take to leave for some good ol boys after ‘just stoppin by the store’

Well sure enough here they come, pulling out about 300' behind me. Now I am still only going about 10mph or so, like I don’t know they are there (and this is a big lot because it’s the grocery store and a target and a few others stores in between).

But rather than leave the parking lot (and get out somewhere where there might not be any cameras) now I make a U turn and we meet head on and pass right by each other. I look right at them as we pass, so they know that 'I know'. Also if they make another U turn now there is going to be several cars between them and me.

Well this time I do exit the parking lot with a right turn only. But since they cant see me now, rather than continue down the road like I would, I took the service road behind the store and came back around the building one more time, I had lost them.

Good for you. I'll tell you what, that girl sure appreciated what you did for her. I've had my encounter with the occasional jerk trying to get funny and it really meant a lot when another guy sent him packing. Women know that they are no match for guys like that (unless they are black belts). I'll bet she was really shaking.

Sort of the same thing happened to me. This young girl about 14 years old was walking down the sidewalk near my house when some guys in a car decided they would explain how attractive she was.
They also decided to tell in explicit terms what they would like to do to her.
After I told the guys to take off and leave the girl alone, the girl told me in no uncertain terms that they were friends of her's and to leave them and her alone.
I was so embarrassed I lost my temper and told her the next time the guys decide to explain what they wanted to do to her, she should be standing in front of her own house.
