Jeff got a part time job at Walmart, not really to supplement income so much as to give him stuff to do while he is in the reserves (or this is what I see from my perspective). I usually shop at wally world because it is cheap and I don't want to spend a lot of money on cheap things like cereal or toilet paper.
Okay I just wrote a whole long paragraph explaining what happened this afternoon and then it got erased. So you are now going to get the short version.
I went to walmart for two reasons: pick up some basic groceries (that we so desperately needed) and see Jeff. As I was walking out with my cart full of groceries I made sure to check around the car to make sure no one was creeping around it and what not. Yes, I realize this makes me kinda paranoid and weird, but as my mother always says 'better safe than sorry'. I unloaded my groceries into my trunk, going as fast as humanly possible, and much to my surprise there was a man standing on the opposite side of my car. At first he didn't say anything, so I figured he was walking by...I went and put my cart away and he was still there. He walked a little closer to me and said
Guy: Can I ask you a question? I just moved here from Las Vegas and I was wondering if I could have your phone number since I don't know that many people?
Now as he was saying this he moved his hand towards his private parts where he had his pants unzipped and he wasn't wearing any underwear. I quickly said no as my heart starting racing because this guy REALLY creeped me out, hopped in my car and sped away as fast as the parking lot allowed me to. I didn't see where the guy went or what car he came from because I was too busy coming up with some sort of plan if he tried to come any closer to me.
GAH!!! I used to feel semi-safe going to that particular walmart by myself, but now I will never go there ever again. I know that that was only one guy and in the grand scheme of things there are more people like me than there are of him. BUT and that's a huge but, I don't ever want to be in that situation again. It was extremely uncomfortable and scary. I did inform my husband so that he could tell management about the creepy dude chilling in their parking lot so I hope they do something about it.
My question for you is: What would you do in that situation? Do you think he was just a pervert-flasher or is my paranoia justified?
Sorry that this blog makes no grammatical or story-like sense, I am truly too freaked out to make any sense of all this.

OMG I am terrified for you! What wal-mart were you at? You should move out of redneck princeton immediately! Next time just stand there and scream at the top of your lungs...if that doesn't work, just start waving your arms and yelling curse words and see if that scares him away :-)
Ummm he is a pervert-flasher which COMPLETELY justifies the paranoia. I would be paranoid too! That's my worst nightmare - I honestly freak out. Rape scares me more than anything - even teasing about it or joking. I am absolutely disgusted and scared. I'm so sorry you had to be in that situation alone!!
