Ever get a "bad feeling" about someone??

I had a feeling just from our phone conversations before I even met the chick that my new coworker and I would not work well together. But I said, "Naw, I'm being paranoid, I'll give her a chance." Turns out I was right all along

There is ONE security person at any time there. And they're mostly watching for shoplifters

. Luckily, I only have 6 days left to work at Belk. Then it's on to my next job! Hopefully I won't run into this guy anywhere else.

I don't know what it is about this guy. He comes out to Belk about 3 days a week and NEVER buys anything or even looks at stuff to buy. He just walks around (maybe for exercise, maybe not, I don't know). If I'm behind a rack straightening and I see him, I'll duck down so that he doesn't see me. I've never hidden from anyone. I'm definitely trusting my instincts----I don't get this feeling often.

Yeah, trust your woman's intuition. Had I trusted mine in the past I'd not have gotten involved with such angry, psychotic or otherwise mentally disturbed men.

But yes trust what you FEEL, woman! We have that intuition for a reason! And stay safe.

This guy does sound creepy. It is just not NORMAL to go to a department store 3 times a week just to walk around (unless you're me and that store happens to be a jewelry store and you're just there to fantasize about engagement rings....*sigh*

)

When you walk out to your car, is there any way you can get an escort? If you do have to walk to your car alone, be aware of your surroundings and do NOT talk on your cell phone while you walk out there. Rapists (hopefully he's not one, but you never know) look for women who are distracted and talking on a cell phone is the #1 distraction they look for. Walk with your keys sticking out between your knuckles (to slash if you have to). Also, a little bottle of hairspray makes a great stand-in for mace!

I have pepper spray on my keychain and I always carry that in my hand when i walk out. Most of the time, everyone that closes at night walks out together. If I miss the "herd" I'll wait and walk out with the manager on duty. I never walk out alone, there's nothing as creepy as walking in a poorly lit parking lot alone at night.

Good advice about the cell phone. I never thought of that.

Thanks for all the advice, guys!

Have you reported this guy to security at all? I would esp if you see him alot and he never buys anything.

I absolutely trust my instincts, I am convinced they have saved my life at least once.

It makes me shudder to think of it.

Ugh.

ditto what all have said.. trust you inticts..

Sounds suspicious. Give the security guy a heads up the next time he comes in. Explain that he never buys anything etc. It couldn't hurt.

I used to work in a video rental store about two years ago and I'd work from 11am to 10pm 5 days a week so it was always dark when I finished.

There was this one guy who used to come in about once a week and rent movies. He was middle aged, normally dressed just normal really but he gave me the creeps. Every time he'd come in he'd ask if we had Bonnie & Clyde in yet (the movie lol) I used to hate talking to him *shivers* anyway one week I was sick and another girl took over my shift...he came in a asked where I was she said I was sick and off he went. When she was closing up she noticed him hanging about in a nearby side street this creeped her out so she went back in and called her boyfriend, he came to walk her home, and he said he saw this guy staring at the shop *shivers* so after that I totally trusted my gut about people and the guy was banned from the shop and had a caution by the police. He may have been harmless but you never know.

With all respect to you Kellye, ... I don´t have....... ....you know... ..... ......

YES!!! Some people just give off that vibe. I always trust my instinct about things...

Yes, trust your instincts. I like most everyone, but occasionally I will just NOT, for no obvious reason. When I was a kid, my oldest sister got married (2nd time) to a guy I just didn't like. He just gave me the creeps for some reason. Turns out he was molesting her daughter from a previous marriage.

One of our execs at work gives me the same feelings. I just don't like him. Most others do ... I just don't, and I can't explain it. So I am always polite and respectful to him, but never in a million years would I want to be his direct report OR, say, get in a car with him.

OTOH, I don't like my father, and so I am also inclined not to like men who remind me of him, usually in the way they look or carry themselves. I can recognize that tendency for what it is, though. Not quite the same thing as instinct.

I've never thought about the mobile phone thing. If I'm out late and walking to my car, I always pretend someone's on the phone because I figured that if he thought I was talking to someone and they heard me scream, they'd call 911.

Trust your instincts. I was almost kidnapped twice when I was a child, and my instincts are what saved me both times.

Yes... I am usually right!

Trust them. Always trust them. My instincts saved me from being in NY for 9/11

I have found that my first instincts are usually correct. If someone makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, there has always turned out to be a reason.
Please be very careful if this guy is giving you the creeps. There is probably a good reason.

Like everyone else, I'd tell you to trust your instincts. There is something that is causing you to feel this way, and I doubt that it is imagined. Be careful.
