AITA for hitting on a guy in an unconventional way and unintentionally scaring him and causing bystander To yell at him?

Explain the joke.

Jokes are funny. They cause both the joker and the jokee to have a pleasant reaction.

Someone knocking on my window while I’m sitting in my car texting isn’t the beginning of a joke. It would startle the hell out of me and cause a fear adrenaline spike. Accusing me, after startling me, that I hit that persons car would really get my heart pumping.

You didn’t joke. Your intent doesn’t matter. Impact does. Should he have followed you? I don’t know. Maybe he wanted to know who the hell you are and what gave you the nerve. But you decided that you wanted to star in your own Hallmark meet cute.
