[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, I have absolutely stopped running errands in the evening and night. I know that doesn’t prevent everything, and over this past year it has seemed to make sense. I started thinking about the Giant and CVS nearby my house the same way I used to think about ATM machine in terms of better time of day to go and times to try to avoid. [/quote]

Same. I try to avoid the ATM or gas station at night. DH usually runs those errands but I’ve asked him to try to do them in the daytime now. Things feel less safe. And for those of you who think we’re hiding under the covers, refusing to go out, we’re not. We’re just trying to make slight changes to our behavior like getting gas in the daytime if possible.

I actually only really feel unsafe at the gas station.  I have been approached by men asking for money multiple times.  I felt very vulnerable especially since I say no. I am always on alert that one might get angry.[/quote]

See I feel gas station is pretty safe because I’m holding a giant weapon in my hand. The gas nozzle. [/quote]

Obviously historical, but Alex thought it was safe as well.
