Do I look crazed, rapey, or dangerous?

Asked by SmashTheState (14245points) September 25th, 2015

Last night I was walking down the street and there was a young woman ahead of me in a dress. I tried to ask her for the time, saying “excuse me,” several times and she just kept walking. I thought perhaps she didn’t realize I was talking to her, so I raised my voice and said, “hello, yes, excuse me, I’m talking to you.” In reaction, without turning around, she pulled out her keys and her pepper spray. Then she continued walking without turning around or saying a word.

I’ve never had anyone pull pepper spray on me before just for talking to them. Here is a recent photo of me from a newspaper article. I was furious at the time this happened, but I’m inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. Tell me honestly, do I look especially scary or unhinged?
