A couple of days ago, I went shopping with my dad. While we were heading home my dad wanted to stopped at a nearby pharmacy to get something before going home. My house was pretty close by and when my dad was parking the car, I saw that there was a guy that was walking down the sidewalk, But he notice us parking the car, he backtracked and headed straight to my dad’s open window. I was instantly on alert and about to say something to my dad but the guy would have heard me and my dad was about to get out.
This guy comes right up to the car, looking at me and my dad asking for money or was it change? He was talking in English like, “oh you don’t understand? How about Spanish?” He speaks in Spanish to my dad, asking if he has money. My dad looks at me and then the guy and he shakes his head. The guy ignores my dad and looks over at me like, ‘you understand right’?
I turn to my dad, talking in Portuguese since that’s the only language my dad knows, telling him that the guy wants money. So my dad is like no, I don’t have any to give you. But the guy isn’t taking no for an answer. He keeps pestering me and my dad. He probably notice the shopping bags in the back of the car seat, thinking that me and my dad have money. But logically, whatever money we did have was replace with items. But the guy doesn’t care, he still kept pestering us.
And I’m like what will this guy do if we keep refusing? Would he pull out a gun or a knife? We couldn’t just drive off. There wouldn’t have been any time to turn the car on and lock/roll the windows up. Plus, my dad needed to go to the pharmacy. Besides, if we did drive off who knows what this guy is like. We didn’t want to risk pissing him off either. For all we know this guy could easily find us again because we do lived in the area and he could have tried something in revenge.
Maybe I’m making it a big deal then it was or I’m being too paranoid. But honesty, I felt like a corner cat. I was actually a little bit afraid. Seriously, after so many no’s you would think a person would get it and leave us alone. It wasn’t like we were the only people around.
I knew I looked just like a deer caught in a headlight. I nor have my father have ever had some random person come up to us asking for money and then bullying us for it when we said no. In the end, my dad was getting upset/fed up because this guy just wouldn’t leave. So he gave him some change and the guy was satisfied and finally left.
So today my dad had to go to the pharmacy again. I don’t know why but he mumble something about not having something the last time he went, which was when that guy appeared. Nothing happen, which is good but my dad decided to leave me sleeping instead of waking me up to go with him. I don’t know why he would do that since he knows my mom gets pissed when he goes to places alone. My mom is now a hermit, she doesn’t leave the house and always makes me go (no matter how ill I might be or whatever plans I have) with my dad when he has to go to places. But that’s another story…point is, he probably sense how uncomfortable I was when that happen and he didn’t want me to be reminded of it.
I overheard him taking to my mom about it. She complained to him on why he didn’t take me. He told her why and she tried to make me at fault, saying why didn’t I tell the guy no. Of course, she never listens to the whole story first but once she did then she understood. I did tell the guy no. My dad said no, multiple times but it didn’t make a difference.
This is an experience that I never want to be face with again. Nor should anyone else either. I just…don’t know what to make of it. Would this be a form of harassment? I defiantly felt that harassed part though.
