It’s important to always be aware of your surroundings.

And, if your gut tells you that something seems wrong, follow your instincts…

Even if you might feel a bit foolish about it later on.

A TikTokker named Janae posted a video that showed how she reacted when she got spooked outside her house one morning.

The footage comes from a security camera outside of Janae’s house.

She walked outside her front door in the dark, brushing her teeth.

Janae walked into her driveway…

And a man walking down the street startled her.

Janae screamed and ran back inside her house.

The guy kept on walking by her house as if nothing happened.

The video’s text overlay reads, “Sorry to this man who I yelled at because I was half asleep and not expecting to see anyone when I went to start my car.”

Janae wrote in the caption, “The toothbrush, the scream, the run? Truly cinema.”

Here’s the video.
