So backstory I’ve (28F) been unemployed for the past two months, and my lack of income has caused me to lose 15 pounds. I also had an unexpected ER visit a day before my birthday this month and they found a cyst on my ovary and they tried to put me on a pysch hold for what they think is undiagnosed BPD. Just not having a great time in general lately.
Today I finally got paid for a small job and was able to go to Walmart and pick up a few things that I needed. Toward the end of my trip as I was checking out, this man walked up by me and talked about how beautiful he thought my skin was. I’m not really in the mood to talk, I’m thinking about having my first full meal in a month and a half, and he goes did you hear me? And I say, please leave me alone.
I start checking out and even though there’s an open space he stays next to me and asks if he can take me out this week. I say leave me the fuck alone. Then he keeps talking, and ask me how much my groceries are. They were $16 but I say it’s $300. I was definitely stunned when I looked back to my left and he had pulled out cash from his wallet- I don’t know if it was $300 total but the top one was definitely $100. That made me even angrier. I started yelling at him. Do I look like I can’t afford my groceries? Leave me alone!!!!!!! You annoying piece of shit I just want to get my stuff and go home and you won’t stop talking you idiot!
And like the entire time, I’m trying to like check out and get my stuff, He is continuing to try and talk to me and as I’m walking out, he tells me to have a good day and I told him to eat shit.
Now I’m in between feeling justified for not wanting to talk to this man at all, and feeling like my attention isn’t something that can be bought, especially when you are some creepy old man. The other part of me is like are you fucking stupid? Why would you not take the fucking money? You legitimately been starving in your house for weeks-you needed that??? Just feeling gross and angry and like I made a mistake not wanting to bothered.
