I was having a good day.  A nice calm day at work.  And now I'm on edge because of a creepy guy who followed me.

I go to the bus stop, he's there. You ever get that weird feeling from someone like "DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PERSON THEY ARE DANGEROUS"?  I felt that.  So I decide to walk to the next bus stop.  Guy gets up and follows me.  Keeps the same pace but some ways behind.  We pass the next stop.  He starts speeding up.  I go faster.  He's going faster.  Eventually he caught up and stood in front of me.  When I try to step around him, he blocks me.  The scary grin made me want to puke from anxiety; growing bigger each time he stopped me from leaving. I could feel bad intentions radiating from this guy.  In my panic I shove him to the side and run into heavy traffic to escape.  How I didn't get hit by a car is nothing short of a miracle.  And creepy guy is LAUGHING.  As if it was funny to scare a young woman so much she'd risk getting hit by a car to get away.  I ran a couple blocks, ducked into the grocery store and waited for ages, making sure creepy guy wasn't lurking outside.

Still on edge after what happened. So now I'm trying to look up alternative bus routes and walks to take,making sure I have no chance running into the creep again.  I may have to double my commute time but it's a small price to pay for peace of mind.  I know I can't go back to that bus stop without panicking for awhile.
