I moved to a new city not a very long time ago, so I don't really have many friends (yet). Maybe none. Had some spare time this evening and went to my favorite bar, alone, since no one of my acquaintances wanted to go out.

I know no one, except of a couple of the bartenders which recognize me on sight, but none of them really know me and I don't know them. I met a somewhat weird guy not from my country, apparently buying drinks for a group of people. I was sitting at the bar. The guy came and ordered some shots for the said group. I don't remember exactly how our conversation started, but he insistently bought me a beer. Told him it was entirely unnecessary, but what the hell, told him next one is on me.

Then he sit next to me and we chatted for an hour or so. Me being a good gal towards strangers and being somewhat of a patriot, I was sociable with him, we talked about local culture, responding to whatever he was interested in the country, whatever. All good so far. He insisted on showing me his estate assets from another country, which was VERY shady, at least for me, but I didn't budge, none of my business. Went for a cigarette together with him, and some random dudes from that group come to him and thank him for everything. (for the drinks he bought for them, probably) Apparently the dude is a business man.

He even introduced me to one of them, and I shook hands with said person. He seemed like a stoned/drunk sorry 20 something dude. Then we get back to the bar, chat some more. Then one guy from that group comes there and says to the stranger dude, "come with us."

I remained at the bar for 5 more minutes to finish my beer, then leave for home.

The guy was with said group, so I walked up to them, say goodbye to the dude, nice meeting him, and there's a beer waiting for him at the bar. That's when all the bullshit started.

The guy was there, was offered weed by said group. Me being the way I am, not wanting to interrupt anybody, waited for their discussion to end, before saying goodbye.

One of the group members was very disturbed by my presence, and started this:

"Who are you, what are you doing here?"

"Just finishing my cigarette with , before parting ways."

"Leave. Get the fuck out of here."

"No", I said.

"Get the fuck out of here before I beat the shit out of you."

"Just because of that I don't want to."

"Get the fuck outta here, fuck you and your mother."

"Talk nicely."

""

"TALK NICELY."

"Hey do you know this guy?" - the dude from the group asked the stranger dude, whom I've chatted an hour with a few minutes before."

"No, I don't know this guy." - the stranger dude said.

"Hey man, fuck you" - I said to the stranger dude, and left, while also cussing the dude who was deranged by my presence and "fucked my mother".

I went to the bar, and told the bartenders to take away the beer I just bought for him. Have it for themselves, or give it away to somebody. The bartender asked me "you don't want it anymore?" I've explained I bought it for "that stranger guy" as a token of gratitude, and I'll explain next time what happened, leaving in disgust.

Thing is, I don't know who that group was, by my impression just some stoners, but you NEVER know, I never underestimate, no matter the circumstances. I worry a bit about my physical integrity, don't want getting into any kind of useless trouble, while simply hanging around in the city. I feel somewhat threatened, and I don't know how to deal with it if by any chance, I'll be outnumbered, or followed, or whatever, you get the picture. Don't know who those guys are, and by humanity's sake, I don't know who the stranger dude really is and what he does. While scrolling his photos when he showed me his assets, I've seen a pic I really wish I didn't see. VERY shady.

Have you ever been in such a situation, and how did you deal with it?

Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
