I kinda felt uncomfortable folding, but I figured that if I call and on the turn he shoves that will be even worse.

How do you play in these situations? I decided to fold until I get enough reads to see what's happening there.

I have no trouble with your solution to fold and get some reads - it has lower variance. In game, I would probably call and let him bluffing (or whatever he´s trying to do) even I´m not happy about it. His play makes no sense and it can be anything from nothing to nuts but I believe that air will be much higher portion of his range.

I do not like hero calling with our hand. We should decrease variance and fold without reads.

Yeah, I considered two scenarios:
1) A fish donk-overbetting on such a boring board with air.
2) A fish who flopped a monster and doesn't know any better than to donk-overbet.

Although both are possible, I kinda of think that second one is more likely. Especially considering that it's the first time I see something like that from the villain. I mean, if that's his normal behaviour on flops, I will pick it up fairly quickly and be prepared next time we're heads-up in a pot. And if it's not his normal behaviour, than maybe he just flopped a monster.

his range might include worse made hands like 6x and random pp. if you wanna fold, its hard to blame you tho

The problem is that we cannot be sure what range he has.

I always fold this. If we call and he do the same on the turn (and they usually do), we will either a) fold and be mad at ourselves that we called the flop, b) call/shove and lose the pot the majority of the time on the turn or river and be frustrated with life.
