I was just nearly back from my walk with my son (took him in the stroller), when a car pulled over towards me. I was practically on my own property. This testosterone-amped 50 year old man rolled down the window and said, very condescendingly, "Sweetheart, I drive this road 5 times a day...you need to wear something so that I can see you."
This really got me riled up, even though I was in a relaxed state of mind. I didn't say anything, just waved him off.
I'm just wondering - am I over-reacting? What would you do?
I have personal issues with the nanny state. But how can you miss someone pushing a stroller??
Obviously his tone was meant to intimidate and punish me, and my inner rebel wanted to kick his royal freaking *ss, but I didn't let him get the better of me. Yet, I'm still stewing about it. I feel a little violated and threatened because - why would a man bother to do this? He was able to see me fine?
I don't get it.
