my little brother was really sick so i wanted to run some soup to him. he was staying with his girlfriends family out in an extremely rural area. it was after dark and i didnt know which house to go to, so i had to pull in to someones driveway to call him. the guy who lived there came out and stared us down until we pulled out, the vibe was incredibly hostile. i was afraid of getting shot or worse, being very queer and having my fiance with me. didnt do that again.
reminds me of that story from a few years back of people who were lost and turned around in a rural driveway and the owner came running out of the house shooting at them, i think hitting and killing at least one person in the car?
To be fair, you probably scared the crap out of them. I live in a pretty rural area and if someone pulled into my driveway at night that I wasn't expecting, I would do the same thing.
fair i guess, but it was still pretty creepy, even the neighbors were watching. it was in a small town, not a dirt road like i grew up on, so idk
Maybe they made their own comment in here, lol
