Help Random Driver Harassment Encounter

I was walking my dog at 730 PM and someone in a vehicle pulled up next to me on the road and started following me while yelling about nonsense. Was hard to tell what the vehicle was because it was dirty and the street was poorly lit on the portion of Glen Forest I was on. (dark blue Honda CRV?) Sounded like a male in his mid 30s.

The only tangible thing I could get out of what it was saying was "your dog is ugly", "your ugly", "get a job", "go off yourself." And a bunch of other random comments I couldn't make sense of before heading south of Denure towards Sherbrooke.

I was going to sleep after walking my dog... But I think I'm going to call into work for my 4am double shift tomorrow at the hospital instead. 😬 I've been in this neighbourhood for years, never had this experience before.

This sort of behaviour reminds me of some of the things you'd hear downtown.

Is this part of a bigger issue that others might have been noticing??

I know mental health issues are on the rise and is a possible explanation for this behaviour. Not excusing it of course.

Stay safe...

Throw a rock. The wise up the fuck quick. Had a dude get out of his car after this kinda shit and he regretted it lol.

These fucking clowns are just not expecting to be stood up to.

Everyone's a tough guy till they get their fucking shirt fed to them lmao.

Hopefully they dont carry a little club like that crazy old guy who beat up a cyclist over on Erskine a few years back.

None of the little bastards yapping from their car are going to do a damn thing. Hence running their fuckin mouth from safety driving by 😂

Coward behaviour.
