I have been meaning to post this for a couple of months now but never got around to it, I'm sure some of you may still find this interesting though.
I was (and still am( 19 when this happened
In November of last year, I was employed at a supermarket near my house. (I'll try to keep this short). While working one day, this old guy comes up to me and asks me to reach him some cereal from the top shelf, nothing unusual. So I grabbed it for him and he was on his way.
About a week later, I was at the mall doing some Christmas shopping when this same guy comes up to me. I still figured nothing was strange, just bumping into a customer. So he talked to me for a little bit and I figured that was that...
However...
He continued to chat to me whenever he came into work, which was about twice a week.
One day he says to me "You seem like a nice boy, I'd like to get to know you better". At this point alarm bells were going off, but I kind of ignored it at the time, thought he was just a lonely old man or something. He kept coming in for about a month just chatting to me and just started getting annoying basically.
One day, he comes in and gives me this card. On it was his number and address, he told me to give him a call some time or I could go around for coffee. This was the last straw. Luckily for me my dad is a cop, so I asked him to look him up on the police computer and lo and behold, He lost his teaching job a few years back for touching up some little boy.
Can't say I was too surprised really, kind of had him figured out. Anyway, a cop went to his place and told him not to shop at my work, and now he's got another complaint from me on his rap sheet.
So that's about the gist of it, People seemed to think it would affect me or something but it didn't really.
I know this sounds silly, but has anyone else been followed by a stalker?
