This is a throwaway account.
I was at this blogshop pop-up event earlier today and they only had those fitting rooms with the thin curtains and a simple hook.
I was undressed from waist up, about to pull on a strapless tube top, when the curtain just swung wide open. There was this guy standing there, probably in his late 30s, and he didn’t even look away immediately. He just stared. I screamed and scrambled to pull the curtain back myself. I was hiding and composing myself, and when I finally came out, I was crying and trying to find the staff, but he intercepted me before I could say anything. He kept telling me that it was an accident and that he thought his girlfriend was inside. Then he leaned in and told me he would PayNow me $200 on the spot if I just let it go and didn’t call the police or tell the manager. I felt pressured because people were starting to stare at me crying and I just wanted to leave. I didn't take the money and I also didn't call the police because I was in total shock and just fled the mall. Now I’m home and I can’t stop thinking about the look on his face when the curtain opened. I feel so gross and exposed. Should I have taken his photo? Is it too late to go to the police now? I feel like I failed myself by not telling the staff and I really need some advice because I can't stop crying.
