Quick story:

While waiting at a bus stop, there was a woman standing in front of me. She was stiff, trying to be completely still but visibly tense. She kept checking her phone and looking to the right. At first, I thought she might be on drugs, but then I noticed a man staring at her intensely. He wouldn't break his focus, even when most people around us noticed his behavior. Then it all made sense. She, with three open seats next to me, said very loudly, "Can I sit in this chair?" I said yes, then instantly got up and walked away from the situation. I went to the nearest coffee shop and waited for 20 to 30 minutes before returning to the bus stop. I was relieved to see they were both gone.

A couple days ago, my sister asked me to pick up my nephew from school and watch him for a day while she and my brother-in-law went to a wedding. She sent my photo to the school and told them I would be picking him up. While there, the woman from the bus stop recognized me and the very next day told my sister about the bus stop incident. My sister, mom, cousin, and other women this story spread to were angry. I would protect my sister and family, but why do they expect me to put myself in harm's way for a random woman?

Edit: the bus arrives every 15 minutes. So I didn't miss the bus. The man was the same hight as me. On the skinner side. Did o feel threatened. Yes I don't not want to be involved. So I leave
