Anyway, one night, as I was walking home from work, there was this black car following me wherever I go.  At first, I thought that he was just in the mood to drive slow.  After I crossed one street to another, I noticed him tailing me.  The feeling?  Terrifying.

I started thinking that I should have called my boyfriend to come pick me up that night from work instead of surprising him when I reached home.  Urgh!

Good thing was, I did not panic.  I reached for my phone and called my boyfriend.  I told him where I was and which road I was taking.  He was at once on his way to rescue me!

Oh.  The man in the car?  He finally decided to park his car in front of me while I was about to cross a tiny road.  That was the time my heart begun beating so fast.  When he rolled down his window and asked me if I would want to have a ride, I was in total shock.  That was creepy!  Despite giving him a no for an answer, the guy just wouldn’t leave me alone.

I was preparing for combat.  Not trained for one, I was so prepared to fight him if ever worse gets to worst.  That night, I was regretting why I didn’t have a peppermint spray or an assisted opening knives [http://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/Assisted-Opening-Knives-p-1-c-718.html] in my bag.

Anyway, my boyfriend’s timing was just right.  When he saw my boyfriend approaching, the guy drove away in a flash.

How about you?  Have you had such an experience before?  Do you keep self defense items inside your purse whenever you leave home?
