They were drunk, right?
The (dumbass) driver wasn't slurring his words, but yeah, he could've been, that or stoned. I had thought of that, since he was so STUPID in not being able to take a hint to leave me alone! (People do dumb things when they're drunk...and stoned.) And not to mention the fact that as this little incident drug on and on, that increased the chance of someone in the business next door (a Baskin and Robbins) could have been recording everything with a cell phone or dialing 911. (I'm no expert on drug sales, but aren't you supposed to get the deal over with real quick and get away before getting busted?)
I would definitely be concerned about hard drugs, but weed is (largely) harmless.
It's not too bad by itself, I'll admit, but it can lead to the heavier stuff, which is the problem. (Hence why they were offering me a free beer, to try to get me to buy some of the more addictive stuff.)
Anyway, I resume my walks tonight. Gonna be paranoid whenever a car comes by!
And btw, the people next door might have something to do with this. They and I think some other party bought a new red compact car the other month. It disappears for a few days at a time and then returns, hence why I think someone else is using it. After waiting for several minutes and then leaving the restaurant, I came walking back, which the car was just pulling up to the house across the street from them, since the house is for sale and the owner lets them park there (not today though, since he returned from being out of town). Two guys got out of the car...just like how there were two in the car that were harassing me. Might have just been a coincidence but I don't think so. It was dark and I wasn't really paying attention to details (as I just wanted out of there) so I didn't notice what color the car was.
Anyway, these people have been THE worst neighbors we've ever had. Kind of like the drug thing, where they haven't done anything *real* bad, but they let their kids run around screaming, their dog barking and running loose (both illegal), they've shot off firecrackers from their lawns (also illegal in city limits here), vandalized our property (probably a drunk thing, since this happened during a birthday bash they held), and many other things, like illegally living there since only one family can live in a house here.
I sent off a form to the city today, where they will be fined yet AGAIN (just like how I had the city remove their chickens a few years back, which they couldn't have either [sound familiar?]), which should get them out of here for good. With about 12 people living and contributing to bills (or not?), there's no way this one family can afford the house by themselves, which should get rid of any idiot drug sellers too if they're not on this block any more (at times), unless they've gotten a few customers out of harassing people. I suppose they'll come back to make their rounds then, but they shouldn't be back to this house.
