I was walking on King Street toward the metro station when this guy honked at me. I didn’t recognize him, so I kept walking. He then pulled over and motioned for me to get into his car. I didn’t want him to follow me, so I ducked into the next store and waited a few minutes. I was looking out the window to see if he drove away, but instead I saw him walk past the store and stare into the window. I want to believe he mistook me for someone else and he had a legitimate reason for parking and looking for me, but I doubt it. Super creepy!!
