A guy and his girlfriend made fun of me in the store and they continued doing it when I was standing outside the store
Case Rating: *
It sounds like this was a one-time incident. While it's unfortunate and distressing, making fun of someone typically falls under the category of rude behavior rather than criminal harassment unless it escalates or involves threats. If it happens again or escalates, you may want to consider speaking with the store management or local authorities for advice on how to handle the situation.
