I was about 15 (I probably looked WAY younger because I’m quite small) and waiting for my mum to pick me up near a graveyard in a rural area.
A bunch of guys in their 20′s-30′s showed up to do maintenance on the gravesides. I decided to leave and as I did they began yelling sexual things at me. I kept walking but as I did one of them tried to follow me down the road. I was TERRIFIED because this was a van full of guys and I was in the middle of nowhere. I was angry scared and in tears. For all they knew I could have been visiting the grave site of a loved one.

That is horrible. Sometimes when I read stories like yours I hope those stupid guys get their own karma back. How very scary. Do they even have a clue that it was so bad you are still haunted by it. No they drove off laughing to scare some other female, most likely!!!!! Angry!!!!!
I’m not sure what the law is in New Zealand, but what you described is stalking, which is a crime in the United States. It seems like they’re construction workers, so they can be reported to their boss.
