[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1678414, member: 4319"] Yeah, I get approached by them quite often myself. My main reason for this thread is to see if any of us have been approached by the same person in the same areas, etc. Be telling if we were/are, but on different days. Most of my other stories are not worth telling, but one of the more interesting strangers to approach me was again at a QT in Tulsa, this time on Riverside. Anyways, I'm there pumping gas after dark one evening and was standing messing with something in my truck. I guess I was tired and not paying attention to my surroundings close enough because I did not see anybody around me. In boots I stand about 6 feet tall, and when I turned around I was face to collar bone with this monster of a man in work clothes and a hard hat. Looked like a construction/shop worker. I mean this cat was a good 6-8" taller than me and looked fawking solid. He's unwrapping a brand new pack of Pall Malls and startled I say, "Hey man, what's goin' on?" [I]"A, you ain't got a light on you do ya brotha?"[/I] I don't smoke but I always have Bic lighters everywhere. I had one in my door pocket. I really could not figure out why this dude what this dude really wanted. Parking lot was nearly empty save for a guy about 2 rows over who was watching us, I guess because it looked strange. In my head my goofy idea was to talk loudly just so the other guy would notice us more. I say loudly "Yeah man, I got one right here." Dude at the gas pump 2 isles over is now standing by the trunk of his car on our side watching us. Hand him the light and he lights his cigarette and is all "thanks my man, you alright". I tell him no problem and to have a good night, then hang my pump up, and nod at the dude two pumps over to show everything is cool. I get in my truck and sit there to see where Giant Man goes. He walks to the very far end of the lot, where he gets in a truck with another dude that appeared to be in work clothes.
