Not necessarily scary, but stressful. I went out of town on my own once, decided to take the bus to a city 200+ miles away from home, all because I wanted to attend a concert of a band I really like.

The trip was slow and annoying, mostly because I got cornered by fat dudes while on the bus and I could barely move in my seat, but as a soon as I got to the town; it got much better. Attended the concert, had a great time and decided to go back to the hotel... My dumb ass got on a bus, thinking it would leave me very close by to the hotel... Little did I know that I'd drop me off close... But not walking distance close, in a raggedy ads hood at night... Rain started POURING and my dumb ass couldn't think about calling a cab... So I stuck to standing outside a store in that raggedy ass hood while clearly thug looking people came to pump up gas to their vehicles. No one messed with me, but I was stupid enough to never call a cab... So I asked a cop if he could please give me a ride to the hotel (they're supposed to help, right?), after some small talk and the officer being a little hesitant... He decided to help me out, luckily I got the ride back to the hotel (which was about three minutes away, I just couldn't walk because the entrance is OFF A HIGHWAY, and it was pouring rain).

So shit wasn't going well... Clearly. But it all got worse. In the room, I could hear the neighbors laughing and then arguing (?), they began to shout things to me and even went as far as to hit the wall of my room. I called the reception and explained what was going on, but the receptionist (and self proclaimed "boss") was an idiot and made up excuses. I guess they did check on the neighbors, since bitches came and knocked on the door to my room out of nowhere. They clearly were either drunk or on drugs and had a bone to pick with me. I turned off the lights and decided to wait for a chance to go to the reception, so I quietly packed my shit and then ran to the lobby. The dude couldn't be bothered to help me and even argued that I was making up stuff, because "they've never had any issues", so he completely dismissed my words and got aggressive with me. I decided to go ghetto on him and made him give me a refund, while I got a cab to pickme up and take me to the bus station.

The taxi driver asked me what was wrong, I briefly explained it to her and she told that me that it was VERY UNLIKELY for the hotel to never have problems, as a shitty neighborhood was close by. She gave me a discount and also adviced me to calm down. She was really nice, and so where the customer service at the bus station. I ended up heading back home at 3am, angry at two middle eastern people for being a holes, and completely hrateful to three African American people, who I could've easily labelled as "ghetto", and got my dumb ass proved wrong.

It was a shitty second part of the day, but the first part was worth the trouble. I got to see my favorite male singer ever LIVE, and hooked up witha very handsome and nice guy. But ended up stuck in a crappy hood, verbally attacked by crackheads and a receptionist, while proven wrong about stereotypes.
