A group of annoying young men were following me down the street, and were yelling after me
HEY can I have a dollar, it's my birthday!
And then his friends asked me to give him a dollar. I ignored them haha.
Can I pet your dog? It's my birthday
I ignored it again. So then they followed me and I walked to the side. Then they stopped to be annoying and asked if they could pet the dogs again
I turned and stared at them and then said, go ahead.
I saw them stare at the scars on my leg, they promptly apologized and moved on
At least it's repelling the right people.
