Fucking Rude with an Attitude

I was harassed less than 1/2 hour ago.

I went to the supermarket. I got out of my car and walked toward the store. As I was walking, I noticed a man but ignored him because my focus was on walking to the supermarket and getting what I needed. I heard someone call out to me, and the man had a friend with him. I turned around and one of them said that they liked my dreads. I said thank you and continued walking.

One of them then said something about me being "fucking rude with an attitude" and how he liked that, and he said not to do it again because it turned him on. Then one or both of them said something about wanting to fuck me.

It scared the shit out of me. But I walked fast and tried not to look obviously scared.

I got the 2 items that I needed and before leaving the store, I asked the cashier to please call security to walk me to my car. The security guard obliged and said that it's a damn shame (with other expletives thrown in there) that I have to be afraid of the men in my culture, and that if I ever felt unsafe again to call security and they'll walk me to my car anytime.

I'm still rattled.
