Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I was walking on a fairly busy street when a group of five teenage boys said "Excuse me?". As I was worried that they may be trying to rob me because I was outnumbered, I walked on. When I passed by again 10 minutes later, they were gone. 

After that, I realised that the school nearby is having an Open Day and those kids were most likely asking for directions. Now I felt bad about ignoring them. AITA?
