fitergy:lexonthebeech:I was just at the gas station filling up my car and I was approached my this guy. Really pedophile looking, dirty jeans, new balance (you know, the “I’m 40 but I live at home” kind) glasses, greasy hair. And it wasn’t so much that he approached me because honestly, that happens a lot, but it was the way. He was inside in line before me when I went to swipe my card. On his way out he stopped and gave me this lusty look. Ew. My tank had to go up to 60 and the pump was slow so I just sat inside my car and waited for it to finish. Out of the corner of my eye I see this man in his old Volvo staring at me from by the air tank. After about 30 seconds he gets out of his car and starts walking my way. This is when I closed my door. He then proceeded to tap on my window. I told him to back up and leave me alone. He told me I was beautiful and he just wanted to get to know me. I ignored him and pretended to dial 911 and put the phone up to my ear (I’m a mess lol). He still stood there watching me. He finally walked away and got back in his car. My tank had stopped so I got out quickly and put the pump back. As I drove away I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the same guy! I tried taking a bunch of different turns and cutting in front of people but he kept catching up. He was literally speeding and risking getting into a wreck to follow me. At this point it was out of hand. As I said, I’m used to ugly/creepy guys hitting on me. Actually they don’t even have to be ugly or creepy. I’m used to guys who I have no interest in talking to me. But what I’m not used to is someone trying to follow me home. Thankfully I live down the street from a police station so I pulled in there and he started to slow down but once he saw where I was he looked at me for a couple seconds and then drove off. Oh, did I mention, I live 30 minutes from that gas station. He followed me for 30 minutes! I don’t find it funny, cute, flattering, or nice that a grown man would stalk me or follow me. I feel unsafe. I feel violated. What were his intentions once I was parked in my driveway? Would he attack me? Would he try and reason with me? Would he break in my home? This was ridiculous. Girls. Be safe and take care of yourselves. You do NOT have to talk to anyone you don’t want to. You control what happens to you. Don’t feel pressured to be nice or give someone your number if that’s not what you want. And boys. Same thing. This could’ve happened to you. I’m an equal opportunist. And to all. If someone ain’t feelin you. Leave them alone! There is no need to pursue or force yourself onto someone. That is harassment.This is literally one of my worst fears. She did everything right. -- source link
