Category: Bad Driver

I was taking photos of the night sky, and the surrounding area for Insta. Before I know it, the owner of the car comes out into the parking lot with their Grandma. They then ask if I’m photographing their car. I told them I wasn’t. I had no interest in doing so, whatsoever. What’s interesting was, I had already let the car owner know I was taking sky/building photos for my online account. The driver had pulled into the parking lot while I was taking nature/structure photos. They saw what I was doing, and I let them know I was taking photos for my online account. They seemed okay with it, beforehand. Why they came out into the parking lot with their Grandmother afterwards? No idea. Really, I didn’t mind answering their questions, either. I understand they wanted to make sure everything was okay. The problem I had was what occured afterwards. They proceeded to take photos of me for the police, before making snide comments and leaving. That’s when I snapped a pic of their car. Why? It’s not okay to make assumptions about people, then provoke them. I would’ve let the whole thing go, had they not harassed me. Felt like they were discriminating against me, really. Not surprising, given the current political climate. It all could’ve been handled better on their end. We can only hope they don’t bother other pedestrians.
