The Stalker

He's not the first one and he certainly won't be the last. I've had 3 before him and now it's just kinda been routine? He gave off mega creep vibes more so than the other ones, two of which stalked me online which wasn't so bad but the last two. She ended up molesting me in my sleep and was crazy obsessed and this one he's obsessed too and told me that he likes me sexually. Great. How alluring. I've already told him he's not my type and I'm not interested. He didn't want to respect that and keeps showing up at my normal job. I'm surprised that I wasn't sacked because of all the ongoings. Let's go back to yesterday.

7:30 am 

I'm a half-hour early for work so I don't think anything of it. I'm waiting for Snuggles the manager to show up and unlock the store so we can set off to what we need to accomplish before the store opens. I'm thinking it will be an average day until a familiar little creepy, derpy face appears at my car window. I knew I was going to be annoyed and it was going to be a day, but this...I wasn't prepared for the chaos that ensued next. 

I see Snuggles pull in so I race behind him telling the creep I don't have time, I'm late for work and as soon as we're inside I ask Snuggles to lock the doors behind us. He could see I was unnerved that he was waiting for me when I arrived to work that morning. How could he have known that was the time that I'd get there. He'd needed to have been waiting there for hours. The first bus arrives like an hour or two before I got there so he was there laying in wait for me to arrive at work. Snuggles locks the doors, securing us into the store and I feel safer. I really don't want to deal with this asshole. And of course, Pookie sees this and gets involved. I'm almost 30 years old and can handle things on my own, but no, she wasn't to treat me like a child and cause a scene. She screams at him to leave me alone and that she's gonna punch the shit out of him if he doesn't.
Safe in the store with Snuggles, I head about my daily tasks, rocking out to Ghost as I race through the tasks I need to complete. I'm relaxed and completely at ease. I'm almost sure that the little creep took the message to leave me alone this time with two people telling him to leave me alone. 

11:00am

I look out the window and see him in the carpark. He never left. He's still there waiting for me. He waited for the store to open and to spot me to come in and bother me. Now I'm getting really creeped out. This kind of persistence is what ended up in me getting molested. I'm not in the mood for that to happen again. My stomach churns. I don't want to have to beat the shit out of him since he's not all there in the head, but I will protect myself at any cost. My co-worker alters me that he's still in the car park, getting closer to the store. My stomach churns and I move to the warehouse where the general public can't go. It's not as safe a feeling as Snuggles locking us into the store, but we can't really do that during business hours. I try to be on the floor as little as possible anyway, but this just clinches it. 

My mum asks me if the little twerp came back and I stupidly answer yes.  She's on her way back from shopping and she's near the plaza where I work. (That I didn't know. If I did, I wouldn't have mentioned anything because that's when the 3-ring circus started.) 

11:10am-11:30

She arrives in the shop and makes a scene, calling me the wrong name, embarrassing me like never before. My newer co-workers don't know my old name and they know my pronouns are he, so when she comes in asking for a girl, they don't know who she wants because Beth is the only woman there. She rolls her eyes and says "DAN" and has it announced throughout the store to employees that she's here to see me. As if I didn't have enough problems she's here making me look like an asshole. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, she texts me that she scared him off and threatened to call the police...then she did. The psycho took off running like Bruce Jenner in his Olympic days and three police cars showed up outside of my work. Because of me. Because of her. The police started looking around for him assuming he's dangerous. They asked for a picture of him and I told them that we could pull the footage of the door from inside the store from the office. 

11:50am

Snuggles and I are in the back office looking through the security footage to see him on the store cameras. We have access to everything inside the building asap, for everything else we have to call the owners of the plaza or loss prevention. We're close together watching the monitor, checking the time stamp and watching for the little psycho. We spot my mum screaming at him on the tape and my level of shame and embarrassment hit an all-new high today. I apologised over what occurred, but he didn't appear bothered with it, just more concerned for me. We watch, wide-eyed as the colour of her face gets deeper red. The place where I work and she had to make a fucking scene. I wish she would have just left it alone and minded her own business. 

So after today, my stalker is on the loose, upset and probably going to now really attack me because of this, my old name was outed and she just completely fucking undermined all the hard work I do there to be seen as male and be taken seriously as male and then the police showing up. Oh, and of course her yelling through the store calling me "she" like I was some weak little child. Then she wonders why I never want her around. She's always got to get involved where she's not needed or wanted and makes a mess of everything. 

Christ's Sake.
