Dear Diary,

Today I believe I had my first racial profiling experience. Let’s start from the beginning. I clean 5 buildings during the day because it’s a coronavirus protocol. If the people inside doesn’t come to the door when I knock, I clean the outside areas and leave. So I did my first building and it was too early to do the second, so I stop and get something to eat before I go. When I get there it’s still too early to go in, so I sit in my car and wait. I’m looking around in my car, playing on my phone. I see this car pull beside me out the corner of my eye, I looked up for a second, then continued to mind my own business. While playing games on my phone, in the corner of my eye I see this lady taking pictures of me in my car. She then gets out of the car and takes a picture of my tag, and

proceeds to the building. I wasn’t going to go in early but I decided to to see why she was taking pictures. When I get in the building, I see her and I ask, “why are you taking pictures of my car?”. She says, “ I didn’t know who you were and I have stalker issues, and you were looking at me.” There were other people in their cars and she was not there when I got there, but she comes to my car taking pictures??? I have no reason to stalk anyone or behave in that manner.

Do you guys think she was lying about being stalked and thought I was there for other reasons?
