Today, at work as a cashier, I had a male customer come up to me and ask me what hours I worked today, like he has done for several weeks now. Immediately after, my manager calls my lane to tell me to watch out for that guy. He has been stalking a co-worker of mine. Apparently, I'm next. FML

Today, I was suspended from work. Some lady went to the manager and told them that I was stalking her, all because I would kindly greet her everyday at the grocery store. I'm the cashier. FML

Today, while walking around the local thrift store, I noticed an attractive guy watching me and following me through the aisles. As he followed me to my car I was sure I would get his number. He then asks me to bring my purse inside as I had been tagged as a shoplifter. I work at the store. FML

Porque no los dos?

Today, just like every other day, I noticed that one of my male coworkers always stares at me while passing by or when it's time for lunch. I read somewhere that if a person stares at you too long, they either want to have sex with you or want to kill you. He has a girlfriend, so I doubt it's the first option. FML

Today, a man finally was flirting with me in a supermarket checkout lane, even offering to help unload my groceries onto the conveyor. Turns out he was just distracting everyone so his partner in crime could steal $200 from the cash register. I had to give a witness statement to the manager. FML

Today, I'm preparing my defense for allegedly stalking someone at work. The best part, I have absolutely no clue who it is. Now my skin is crawling as I go through all the messages and in person events that occurred with my actual twice-my-age stalker to show my boss what a real stalker does. FML

Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML

Today, at work, I was putting away clothes in the Men's department, when a guy came and started shopping in the aisle in front of me. He kept staring at me non-stop. Getting fed up, I said "What are you staring at?" Turns out he was wearing his sunglasses on the back of his head. FML

Today, at work I got a message from some dude trying to flirt with me. While I was cracking up and making fun of him with my friends, I get a message from him saying look directly behind you, and there he was staring at me. FML

Today, on my way to work, I was checking my hair in the semi-reflective window of an office building. I suddenly realized that the guy I had a one-night stand with last week was standing on the other side, looking confused. He now genuinely believes that I am stalking him. FML

... just tell him you have a thing for dead animals. beastialiacness? weird out the werido. or if hes cute, date him. if you're desperate enough to tell anyone when you get off work, then you're probably desperate enough to go out with a weirdo like him.

Why is everyone assuming the author gave out that information? Presumably she didn't, if he keeps asking. It's an awkward situation: obviously you don't want to encourage these creepy guys, but being bitchy or sarcastic - as tempting as it is - might provoke them to turn nasty. I guess all you can do is be civil and nothing more, in the hope that they get bored and move on. At least it sounds like your colleagues are taking the problem seriously.

#13 Bad advice... Going out with a weirdo is never smart no matter how desperate you are. You forget that the "apparently harmless" weirdo doing 'nothing more than stalking' the girls might one day murder her if she tries to break up with him. Never assume people are less scary than they seem. Especially if they've proved to be creepy already by stalking other people. There are TONS of ways to avoid answering the question, too. The easiest one being lying about your work hours.

#4, how is it stupid? It wouldn't have seemed creepy till the manager told her what they did. : |

I hope you haven't been giving him your hours. If so, you are a hardcore dumbass and deserve it.

Get your manager to ban him from the store, we had a similar situation where i work and the cops came to escort this creep out because he wouldn't leave, they didn't arrest him but he isn't allowed to come back anymore.

Be very unfriendly to this customer. Crazy people interpret politeness as love. Be rude to him, seriously. NEVER smile at him. I heard of this one girl who smiled at a customer, and the customer thought that meant she loved him, and he stalked her and killed her! Be mean to him!
