Got hit on by a guy in the mall
Yes. And it’s a bit more serious than the title.
Our school has a mall right opposite to it, abhi pre boards hai so we have half days. After the exam me and my other friend decided to go grab some fries or something. Today these chapri state school kids also had a half day so they were all also in the mall. We didn’t think much of it first. We went and sat where we usually sit and went to order our food. We ordered and we came back to our seats to wait. While we were sitting there a random guy just walked past and quickly dropped a chit on our table. We were kinda weirded out, we opened the chit and read a corny ass pickup line. I’m very observant usually also, like very spatially aware, I noticed a guy pointing his phone camera toward who was sitting diagonally a little far away from us. I thought he was just watching reels or wtv until 2 minutes later some random girl comes up to us and tells us that we were being recorded. I freaked out not even kidding. I’ve never been in a situation like this before so we just got up and left to sit somewhere else. While we were there we could see those guys walking from here to there right outside the place we were sitting in. After a while that girl came up to us and told us that her and her group confronted those guys cause they were recording a few other girls also, and when they asked about us they apparently told them we’re “friends” and we consented to be recorded. Me and my friend were out of words, we wanted to go confront them but we were a little hesitant cause they looked a bit older and a bit insensitive, but by the time we finally decided to go talk, they already left.
Safe to say I was scared for my life on the auto ride back home as well. Genuinely scared to go back to that place again ffs.
The point is, do guys think it’s really okay to record someone without consent? Like what’s the idea behind it?
