So this just happened:
I was out around midnight with my wife getting tea, after ordering and while waiting for our tea, I notice someone park their car horizontally across parking spaces very close to my passanger side door (This irks me quite a bit). About a couple of moments later, my wife gets approached by a man demanding to lower the window, I point at him to come to my side and he misunderstands and thinks I'm shooing him off, I wave at him again and he finally understands.
Upon lowering my window, He starts explaining that he was robbed and wants to use my phone to make a call, my wife is scared and immediately tugs me to just roll the windows up, also he ignores my request to move his head further away as he is not wearing a mask and he is close to sticking his head in my car. Anyways during his explanations I notice that he is looking less at me and more at my wife, this continues and I get pissed off.
I get out of the car and tell him to go use the restaurants phone, he says they wont let him, I asked him to do it anyway and that they will let him use it.
Anyways he goes there and asks to use the phone while also explaining to them what a dick head I am for not helping him, also turning around and saying expletives to me. (Infuriating to me since he is using their phone, my wife grabs my arm and begs me to not go out, to immediately leave, we do so).
Thoughts?
P.s.
1. He has a car, why is he bothering people to use the phone? Go home.
2. There are a ton of people around, why is he persistant with me?
3. Whats with oogling my wife?
4. Was he going to run off with my phone?
Certainly his car parked like that is suspicious.
1) Never ever hand your phone to somebody. You don't let strangers drive your car so why let them drive your phone.
2) Next time if you feel the need to be a Good Samaritan (in a less suspicious scenario) tell him you'll dial the number and relay the message. BTW backup first before dialing so they don't quickly clobber you with a sucker punch if they see an expensive phone.
3) My guess is the goal was to sock you in the face as hard as they can the second your right hand went down in your pocket for the phone and then steal your keys/phone/wallet and drive off with your wife who can't open the door.
