I was followed around a bookstore today for well over 5 minutes. I did not want to believe I was being followed and so I began purposely going in random aisles and circling around one section several times and this guy appeared at the end of each aisle every time staring at me. I stopped at the end of one aisle and pretended to look at the books there hoping he would leave.
Instead he approached me and tried to give me a piece of paper with his address on it. No hello or introducing himself just, “Can I give you this? It’s my address and stuff.”
I was already on alert from him following me and my instincts were screaming at me to get out of there. All I could do was shake my head. He left the aisle after I refused to take his paper and I quickly left the store and ran straight to my boyfriend’s place of work which was nearby. I was fearful he was still following me and I didn’t want to lead him to my car. I was very shaken up by the whole encounter.
