Yes, this really happened tonight:
Totally disturbing: I was bombarded by propositions when leaving the Hilton (which is normal). Checked the inside of my car before I left. Made sure no one was following me...or so I thought...got home (a 20 minute drive) and some dude jumps out of a cab in front of me (cab drove off) and dude TELLS me he followed me from the Hilton...and then asks me if I can help him improve his English. I said, "You followed me from the Hilton? Absolutely not! My husband is upstairs..sorry...no way." And I went inside. I have no idea where dude went after that. Doors are locked. Not feeling very safe right now. Anyway...here is me with the "General Lee" tonight.
Here is the ensuing FB discussion:

Here is the ensuing FB discussion:
- Eric L: Be careful lisa. Dont want you disappeared.May 15 at 3:08am ·
Me: Me either!May 15 at 3:09am ·- Rose-Ann C: Nice photo- but creepy guy, be careful!May 15 at 3:12am ·
- Me: Dudes around here seem to think that all western women are hookers. Especially women at the Hilton (or any hotel parking lot). Maybe if they got rid of the African hookers that troll the parking lots after hours, then men wouldn't assume any woman in the parking lot is a hooker...or actually probably not.May 15 at 3:15am ·
- Rose-Ann C: A-holes..what if your not covered, your a hooker?That mentality grrr grates me nervesMay 15 at 3:17am ·
- Eric L: People normally dont chase hookers for 20 minutes. Call a friend. Just in case.May 15 at 3:17am ·
- Rose-Ann C: Be safeMay 15 at 3:17am ·
- Randy J: First - Ew. Second, did they remove the confederate flag from the car?May 15 at 3:18am ·
- Me: Randy:There was no confederate flag in this car. Eric: I have had men attempt to follow me home before...but you are right...never for 20 minutes..and never in a CAB! I should correct myself...he might not have thought I was a hooker...just a run of the mill free whore maybe.May 15 at 3:20am ·
- Randy J: All jumping into his car and saying "follow that girl". Seriously creepy.May 15 at 3:21am ·
- Me: I can't figure it out...because my car wasn't parked near the taxi stands...so I can't figure out at what point he decided to follow me and managed to time it right so that he was in a cab and still managed to follow me out. Seriously creepy. I'm just mad that I let my guard down after I pulled out and didn't notice.
- The parking lot was pretty busy...so it wouldn't have been easy to do.
- Rose-Ann....yes, I'd say is largely because I'm not covered. But when I lived in Egypt even covered women got sexually harassed. Woman alone in the Hilton parking lot at 2 am...must be a whore.May 15 at 3:29am
- Eric L: Or an independent american womanMay 15 at 3:33am ·
- Me: Fuck yeah!
- What's even pathetic is I almost felt sorry for the guy. Not sure why. The desperation was so pathetic?May 15 at 3:49am ·
- Eric L: Dahmer was pathetic. Never underestimate. Especially pathetic with money.May 15 at 3:53am ·
- Scott C: Geeesh!!!!!! Well, you look good in front of the car...May 15 at 4:01am ·
- Me: Thanks Scott!May 15 at 4:02am
- Phil S: ShoooooozzzeeeMay 15 at 4:02am ·
- Me: Shoooooooooooezzzzzzzzz!May 15 at 4:04am ·
- Me: Oh, Eric- this guy was in "normal clothes" and because he wasn't driving a big-ass SUV, I doubt he was "local." He didn't necessarily have any money. For all I know, he spent a week's salary on that cab ride!May 15 at 4:10am ·
- Eric L: Oh shit. Now hes stuck in your neighbor hood!May 15 at 4:15am ·
- Hilda F: Gross!May 15 at 5:49am ·
- Jenn B: Be careful!!!May 15 at 5:50am ·
- Amy V: Omg totally scary!! Be safeMay 15 at 5:56am ·
- Thomas S: Lock & Load!May 15 at 6:47am ·
- Susan S: Ewwwww.... I am glad you are aware of your surroundings and can kick some ass to protect yourself. Some women don't pay attention and are easy targets.May 15 at 7:12am ·
- Jean M: Scary! Take care!May 15 at 7:25am ·
- Susan T: Freak. A guy raped a girl on al ain under similar circumstances. Check the windows.May 16 at 12:11am ·
- Me: I'm on the second floor. Windows don't close all the way, but I have make shift bars to keep them closed because Jasper knows how to open windows!
- What bothers me most is now this guy knows where I live so he could be lurking at any time. I think I will start carrying a knife.May 16 at 1:12am ·
- Kwun Y: Sounds like a stalker. Tell your band and get some ideas.May 16 at 2:08am ·
- Me: I wasn't with my band last night. Just out with some friends.
- All my friends took cabs home and I drove.May 16 at 2:14am ·
- Kwun Y: Hope you feel ok now. It would be a good idea taking a taxi home next timeMay 16 at 2:18am ·
- Me: The guy followed me home. He would have followed me whether I was in a taxi or my own car.May 16 at 2:23am ·
- David M: bizarre !!May 16 at 5:28am ·
- Paul M: Should we happen to be out at the same place at the same time, I'd be happy to follow you to make sure you get inside okay. I figure that if someone follows you and gets confronted by an angry six foot fat bastard, he'll probably make tracks.May 16 at 7:04am ·
- Louie S: Damn better be careful fucking loser hey you gonna make it home anytime soonMay 16 at 9:24am ·
- Thomas S: Look into a taser or stun gun, inexpensive and gives you time to run.May 16 at 11:52am ·
- Me: You can't get that kind of thing here. No mace either. Maybe time to carry a knife..May 16 at 12:03pm ·
- Dirk S: Some very strange behaving blokes at the Hilton, they're likely regulars. Use caution.May 16 at 12:13pm ·
- L Michelle M: That happens a lot from there.May 16 at 12:24pm ·
- Troy D P: Holy crap, Lisa! Stay safe. Great pic!May 17 at 1:33am ·
- Me: Thanks Troy!May 17 at 2:31am ·
- Brigid W: I was followed last week from Rotana and security rang police. I had the same situation as you followed re learning English and asked if they knew what the Yellow Pages were.
- Oh and I forgot at the Hilton a guy followed me to my car and placed his hand in my car door to stop me closing it. I opened the door grabbed it with both hands and slammed it so hard on his arm that he was screaming
- Hilton is really sleezy cos of all the prostitutes time to tell the Hilton to clean the place up.May 17 at 2:29pm ·
- Me: I know...it has gotten worse since they let those African hookers hang out in front of the place and inside the parking lot. I think we should complain.May 17 at 2:31pm ·
- Brigid W: yes police said to tell management at Hilton as not safe and on their property.
