In creepy places as with creepy people, I expect to find that it is not the clear presence of danger that creeps us out, but rather the uncertainty of whether danger is present or not.

Welcome to CreepyEncounters!This sub is for MILDLY creepy in-person encounters. Encounters where you didn't necessarily feel your life was in immediate danger, but maybe on the inside you were going, 'yeah, this is kinda creepy as hell' and wanted to nope out of the situation. Posting Guidelines In-person encounters onlyThis sub is only for person-to-person creepy situations of the mild type where you weren't ever in any immediate life-threatening danger; just kind of creeped the fuck out or really uncomfortable. This is the sister sub to LNM. If your submission belongs there, then it doesn't belong here, and vice versa.If your encounter was truly terrifying + your life was in jeopardy, or there was immediate danger of physical harm to your person, or it involved any other kind of trauma/drama above and beyond merely creeping you out, post it in. Last week my boyfriend (23M) and I (22F) went to Walmart last minute and it was really packed with people.
It was 11p.m.-12a.m.I walk at a faster pace and my bf hates it so he kind of walks a distance behind me. I was trying to get what we needed and get out. I was so focused on getting what we needed that I realized I had lost my bf. So as I was going from one aisle to the next, I grab what we need and look around for my bf at the same time.I get the feeling that someone is following me really close and I can tell it's not my bf, I just know it.
Then I hear 'Excuse me, Miss!' I ignore it and walk faster.
As soon as I walk out of that aisle, I turn my head to see what he looks like (older heavy set Male prob. In his 40's) he says 'Can I get your number?' And as soon as he says that my bf walks out of the aisle next to the one I was just in and the guy realizes by how close I'm standing to my bf that we are together. He just turns and walks away really fast.
As he's walking away I noticed he was holding women's panties in his hand, along with condoms.Later on he was in front of us in line (very awkward) and my bf noticed the panty sizes were all different sizes and so were the condoms. He just kept staring at me, up and down, right in front of my bf. Made me feel really uncomfortableSuch a creep. As a male who lives in Arizona where we can legally be armed to the teeth, I will still tell you the BEST weapon you have for self defense/safety is your head. Stay aware of your surroundings and listen to yourself when that little voice says something isn't right. We've developed that sense over thousands of years. You sensed something was off and had your guard up.
Well done.I train in martial arts too but still, being aware is the best thing you can do. I think most people in this world are good, or definitely harmless. But creeps can happen anywhere.
Especially Walmart.Also, your boyfriend would have caught an assault charge for that no doubt. So best to let it go. I know it's tough when someone you care about has been made to feel threatened. I'm guilty of the same sentiment your boyfriend was. So I get where he was coming from. But that was the good call in my opinion.Stay safe out there.
My martial arts teacher teaches self defense to both men and women and the first thing he teaches is awareness of yout surroundings (and then predator/prey behavior). But the idea being that if you are aware of what's happening you can avoid having to use anything else. I'm a fairly big guy who is trained and armed and I'd totally rather avoid the situation.Also, remember creeps HATE attention. So of your boyfriend hadn't been there, become the most annoying customer in history. Start asking for price checks, tell the cashier you're disabled and need them to carry your basket, whatever. But that will de-escalate the situation without angering or confronting the creep. Once he takes off you can tell the employee why you did what you did or whatever.Sorry if I sound like a know it all.
I'm just sharing what I've learned. Sounds like you already have good instincts.Stay safe my friend.
