You do not wear a BEAR MASK when riding your bike at 10pm!

I don't know about you, but wherever I go - I always browse my surroundings.. As my boyfriend & I pulled up to the gas station - I noticed a bike leaned against the wall by the restroom so that alerted me someone is in there. The little gas station cashier stall was still open at 10pm so that's a good sign there is an on site employee. & a few cars getting gas. Nothing to be scared of. Until the bike's owner got out and rode my way (while I was in the car)! He was dressed in all black wearing a BEAR MASK. You could NOT see his face. Note this is 10pm! He did no harm, but I called for my boyfriend to get back in the car. There are some occasions where I got gas at night, but due to the craziness lately - I never do alone. You do not wear a bear mask riding your bike at 10pm!!

Here , when you come out like that the police will be alerted . You can be mistaken for a robber . So, i can understand why you get scared . I would also , if at night , i would see one in a motorcycle of even in a car .

He didn't bother anyone and left immediately after using the restroom but still - that's freaky!

A bear mask? That's really bizarre! You would think the guy couldn't even see out of it well in the dark. Well, unless he really was a real bear .

@infatuatedbby That's too funny! So maybe he really was a polar bear on a bike . . . but he turned the wrong direction at some point and ended up near you guys .

Maybe he or she thought it was fun. But hiding ones identity is not a good idea these days. Glad you're safe.

It's not Halloween yet! The other day I saw a car put a scream mask in his passenger seat. And when you looked at his drivers mirror inside (like parked beside) him you could see the scream mask too. I've been seeing a lot of masks lately! Regardless, I don't think it is quite safe to wear masks especially at night.... or any time!

Unless he really was trying to scare you or others he should not wear it at night.

He came out of the bathroom like that from the gas station and rode off on his bike with the mask on. I'm not sure how he was when he arrived to use the restroom.

There is nothing wrong to always keep safe and be alert. We all know that evil does not rest nor stop in harming people. Besides its late in the evening. Duh I will panic for sure.

Yes nothing wrong to be aware. Everyone should be alert. It was already 10pm so of course it was scary.

Maybe he is running from something that made him wear that. Or just some one wearing cosplay costume.

Except during carnival, hiding your face is an offense here. I would not be reassured if I was seeing someone wearing a bear mask.

Now I'm curious why he was wearing a bear mask. There's no way for us to tell, but I do hope there was no sinister reason behind it.
