Bicycling stalker in Alberta

By

I was walking downtown to meet a friend when a guy on a bike started following me and trying to talk to me. I asked him to leave me alone and he persisted, driving his bike in increasingly tight circles around me and getting really aggressive. I pulled out my cell phone and told him I would call the police if he didn`t leave me alone.

Since when do restaurant lines = “beauty” contests?

By

I was waiting in line to get into a restaurant with some friends when a group of guys walked over and started evaluating us on our looks.

They decided I was attractive enough to merit their attentions (my friends were dismissed as ‘too tall’, ‘too fat,’ and ‘fugly’ but me, o lucky me I ‘could stay’). They got really close and started mocking me when I asked them to leave me alone.

They stayed until we got in to the restaurant and got our own table. Nobody else in line spoke up.
