Unfiltered Story #28273

(I’m a young woman walking alone from work. My neighborhood is full of strangers, so I am nervous. To calm my anxiety, I start thinking of a funny joke while keeping an eye on the sidewalk so I don’t trip. With no warning, I hear a loud shout from very close by!)

Shout: “YEAH! YOU LOCKED ME OUTTTT MAAAAN!!!!”

(I jump back to see a drunken man, passed out, his hat and coat perfectly blended in with the leaves in the ground, so I didn’t even notice him until I was right by him. My body automatically jumps in fight mode, thinking he’s a mugger, but then I realize that he’s just a drunk. I ran away and took my car instead of walking from then on.)
