Random man with pram - verbal abuse

Just need to vent really...

Walking home with my baby, it's dark and I want to cross a busy road at a zebra crossing.

Random man coming from the other side with his baby and partner. Says the following to me as we pass on the crossing:

"Say hello [girls name]"
Aggressively to me: "say hello back then"
I didn't reply so he then even more aggressively said: "next time don't look in my baby's face" [it's dark, I can't see the baby, I'm looking to see if it's safe to cross]
And then finally when I was on the other side he yelled "F'ing C" after me.

I'm just annoyed and upset. Pushing a pram means I don't generally get so many random man comments. I'm just so TIRED of this sort of thing. He was out with his family, so why feel the need to yell at me? I just want to go about my business in peace. AIBU?

I had an interaction with one of THOSE types of men recently. I was walking along and his huge dog ran at me down his driveway (he was outside with it) I crossed the road and he yelled out that the dog wouldn't bite. I ignored him because frankly I was annoyed that I had such a shock ruin my 5 minutes peace. So he yelled that I'm a fucking bitch. Because these special important men must be LISTENED TO and noticed!

I was about to get out of my car in a supermarket car park when a massive van rolled forward from the space adjacent and behind me to the one next to me. So close that I could barely get out of the car, and he was still there when I got back from shopping. Watched me squeezing back in, and I admit I must have looked annoyed, because I looked up to see him mouthing obscenities, flipping me off, ranting and making hand gestures. What really upset me, apart from the general idiocy, was that he had a child and partner sat next to him. How can someone think this is remotely acceptable?

His poor little child has literally no hope. Sick to death of men like this. I hope they get away from him soon.
