When I am aweek past due on a haircut and shave, I'm sure I look creepy. Lol, one time I was looking haggard and was a little sleep deprived on top of that and stopped in a convienence store. I was returning from a journey to see my mom and the store was in a bad part of town. There were bars on the windows and the whole deal. When I walked in I was the only white guy. The rest were black and a couple looked like the thug type. I don't know if I gave one of those looks when I walked in, but they all were joking when I opened the door and stopped talking immediatly when I entered and made sure to give me a wide berth. Lol, I'm like 5'8" and a buck 60 on a good day andtheyall werescared of me. It was surreal to say the least.

People do fear that which they neither know nor understand., at different levels perhaps - you had their attention. Nothing wrong with that.

They were probably telling jokes about YOU, or bad mouthing you, until you walked in. :uhoh:

Likely continued to do so after your departure until they had adequately elevated their opinion of their own self-worth. :)
