Annoying ladies who pester ppl in public places

The amount of rage I'm feeling because of them is immeasurable lol. They pester to buy shit and come so close to us in public places mainly when there are no one to rescue us. They locked me in tbm escalators and now today somewhere else. Today out of anger I said something along the lines of I can't give you money it's my wish and she cursed me in her native language. Now my frnd realized he forgot something at the restaurant we ate and went back to get it. I'm sure these incidents are not connected but uk... Also there were 2 police officers who did nothing when they were pestering us for money. That also I can accept but they come so close to us like wtf have some fucking decency man😭 I feel so helpless. One thing crossing boundary as a man but this is whole different thing when a woman does to another woman knowing it's bad!
