So… I went to the clinic with my mom. We entered a tunnel and we saw a man running behind us. He passed us and turned his head to look at us… He got to the clinic first and just stood there until we got there and he saw us enter and so he did as well.
He sat in front of us. The man had a cellphone and its camera was pointing at my face. I noticed and didn’t say anything because i thought i was being paranoid. so i started to read, not paying attention to him, but time passed and the camera was still pointing at me. i told my mom i will switch seats without giving any reason, so I did and then I was next to him so he couldn’t record me.
Suddenly he starts “receiving” calls and he places his cellphone in the left ear and his camera (surprisingly) is pointing at me again. So, my mom sits with me and I tell her, “I think that man is recording me with his cellphone.”
She changes her face totally, then looks at the man (in his 40s or 50s) and pulls out her cellphone. She starts recording and tries to point the camera at him. She tries to record him but i notice she’s nervous and we got called by the doctor exactly at the moment her camera was pointed at him. So he noticed.
We had our consult and when we got out the man wasn’t there anymore. I was shaking. We kept searching in the street for any suspicious man, but we didn’t see any. We got on the bus and i just stared at every man but we didn’t see anything weird.
I was shocked, when I got home and I started crying. I couldn’t stop crying and my mom talked to me. My dad said, “It was just a creep, don’t worry honey” and my brother hugged me.
I just can’t stop thinking about it, about what the hell was that man thinking. The whole situation is just so frightening, it was disturbing.
