Kerfogos: I'm glad you got in without him.

Didn't you work there or still do? If so, say that you are an employee and you will report anything unusual.

Sometimes one has to tell a white lie...in case, he threatened you physically.

This is no different than a friend who I knew was cycling solo in Ireland who was trailed by a car with a guy or asked about herself: she fibbed that her husband was up ahead on her on bike.

Good that your bike is repaired but it would have been better if it ran more smoothly. Did you have to pay the high rental amount for the other?
