I had a similar experience. I was maybe 17, driving alone at night to choir practice. Stopped at a red light on an empty street and a guy walked straight up to my car and tried to open the passenger door. It was locked and thankfully the light turned green a second later. I peeled out.

Human beings are FUCKED.

All these stories make me feel good about my habit of locking the car doors the second I sit down in the driver's seat.
