No I have never ever been so, in fact me and my mate would go down to mcdonalds around 3am cause why not. And I would and have done that by myself easy. At that time of night the only people who are out is people getting food which we all tend to be friendly to each other about.
Like in blackpool for example a girl just came out a club to get some food from the takeaway nearby by herself me and my mate were in there getting some to before we would go to the beach and have a nice sit down while eating this was around 2am I think. She just started talking to us casually even though she had no idea who we were.
And you'll find people like that all the time. Night time is the best.

In Australia , its not an issue , it may be somewhere but certainly no problem in any of my areas. When in the USA they were always saying to me " You caantt do that on your own Dave " ( referring to walking places ) I still always did , nothing happened , its how we have always lived here , its good.
If I were female? Well , it should be the same , but honestly , probably its not.
I also walked extensively in Bangkok at this time , the only issue in Thailand at times on your own is the dogs at night , but in Bangkok there are always people about , not so much in Hua Hin , so there I was worried about Dogs.

I used to work at a liquor store that closed at 2am. In a really busy but also really shitty part of the city. I would either walk 10 minutes down the road to a bar and catch a cab or I would walk the 45 minutes home all depended on my mood and how tired was. If I took a cab home I would proceed to take my dog for an hour long walk. Even now I take him for a walk early mornings; especially since we’re in the midst of a heatwave and nighttime is really the only safe time to walk him.

If in Vegas? No. Anywhere else, yes. I live near the woods and we’ve had sightings of a black cougar or panther walking the area in broad daylight. No thanks

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I had a similar conversation with this hitchhiker the other day.

They said it was a bit dark and scary in the woods at 1am.

i said, you are not the one having to walk back on their own.

Around here is rural, so apart from angry badgers, dodgy foxes having raves, it’s fairly quiet.
it is at time very creepy though

josephinelcajon · Answer

Yes and no you see my threat is much different than most people's I live in the mountains and have mountain lions and coyotes walking through my property within 10 feet of my door! So if I have to go out you turn on all the lights make lots of noise and carry a gun.

Titanic1912 · Answer

I would be afraid because we have wild coyotes in our backyard and not having anyone with me would scare me even more. I’m not scared of the dark, but wild animals are what scare me. If I had a gun or a rifle with me, I’d be much safer knowing I have something to keep me safe.

AviatorTom · Answer

In my neighborhood, that would be fine, no problem, very safe. I've been in some places though where I would never do that... some places are even dangerous walking in crowds in the middle of the day.

exitseven · Answer

I live in a pretty rural area so i feel relatively safe. We have had some B&Es in the neighborhood however.

If I still lived in the city where I did when I first got married I would be a little more cautious about it.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Where I live? A little spooked, just because of the wild animals, there’s a forest behind my side of the street. I hear the coyotes out there at night, I wouldn’t want to run into them.

MTC29 · Answer

Not in the least. My community is as safe as you'll ever get. Even so, watch out for alligators coming out of the lake!

macjets007 · Answer

If you're a dude and know how to defend yourself, I don't even think about it. If I'm in a bad area, I just keep my head on a swivel. I totally get it if you're a women though! I wouldn't want to.

Snsl153 · Answer

No, not at all. I'm neither afraid of the dark, nor do I live in the United States where there are so many criminals on the streets.

FreyaRed · Answer

No problem here. I walked plenty of times at those hours trough half city and nothing ever happened.

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

I often walked for 30 mins or more during the night, as busses/subway/metro/... would no longer drive at this time and i had to go home somehow.

Dinklex3 · Answer

I feel safe. The only thing I'd be afraid of are spiders.

Blackcosmo · Answer

It's stupidity not bravery lol. That's unsafe so why would I do that?

Agape93 · Answer

Where I live? Nope, long as I have a light to see by

MCheetah · Answer

Never. Not even if I was female. Women in America can carry guns too, right?

Juxtapose · Answer

I will walk out at night by myself no problem. I refuse to be scared of my neighbors, if they want to kill me then I will fight till my last breath.

MikeInHawaii · Answer

I used to work in a ghetto area in Atlanta. I’d sometimes take our junkyard German Shepherd out for a walk late at night.

Sarahplus2 · Answer

In my neighborhood yes I feel safe. And the police are very good

douride2 · Answer

Where I live way out in the boonies I'm safe.

Staximus · Answer

I will probably be the most dangerous fat man on the street at 1 a. m.

Anonymous · Answer

Hell no. People are usually the ones afraid of me.

driven159 · Answer

I live out in the country so the only thing to fear would be animals, but they are more afraid of us
