Catcalled Day 5

Happy Thanksgiving!! So this post is a few days late (sorry). But I did have something happen on Tuesday 11/26:

Walking back to my car (parked behind the Walgreen's again) I had planned to cut through the alleyway that runs straight back to Silver and right where I parked my car instead of having to go all the way around the building. Well, I started to head down the alley way and next thing I see is three older dudes doing who knows what next to a hair salon that's down that alley. I immediately changed my path to go around the building and avoid them altogether.
Yes, it was the middle of the day.
No, there wasn't anyone else around.
Yes, I avoided them because I didn't feel safe walking past them to get to my car.
No, they didn't approach me or say anything to me.
I chose to alter my walking path on my own.

My question though is: would it have done me any good to just keep walking past them? To not change my route because some random dudes might or might not say something to me?
