Is this stalking? should I call the police?

I'm 28 and I work at a clothes shop. There's this woman who came in a few weeks ago looking for a sweater for her husband. Then again yesterday she came in and said she was looking for pants for her husbands birthday. And the thing is that she smiled at me. This really freaked me out and I think that she's stalking me. I'm happily married. And now I'm freaked out. Should I call the poice if she comes again?

Trolls are often paranoid. I think he should call the police and have them put him somewhere safe.

Are you serious? Just because she smiled? Where do you live, the land of unfriendly people?

umm no she is shopping

This certainly doesn't amount to stalking. If you work in a shop you must be prepared for members of the public to come in as frequently as they like. If you're worried when people smile at you, you really do have a problem!

no... she is a customer... if she shows up in the same stall as you in the bathroom, or you see her outside your home... then yes

Get your pepper spray ready, people that smile are up to no good, and what ever you do, don't smile back, they take it as a "signal", take your middle finger, and scratch your nose, and watch the reaction, if she smiles again, give her the spray.

Oh my god she smiled at you?! you better call the police right away she sounds like trouble. If she came into the store every day and then followed you home, that might be stalking, but going to a store that you work at twice is about the farthest away from stalking you can get

OMG SHE SMILED?????


*RoCkStAr*
don't be so pathetic, she came in looking for clothes for her husband, what is wrong with that, nothing. And so what if she smiled at you, that doesn't mean she is stalking you. I smile at loads of people they don't automatically think i'm stalking them. And maybe she just likes the clothes that are sold in the shop. Don't ring the police unless you have proper evidence that she is stalking you.


h.yoh
haha shes not stalking you, and you definitely shouldn't call the police.
maybe what you should do though is go to a doctor and see about gettin some psychiatric help, sounds to me like you gotta little bit of a paranoia problem.

No, it's certainly not stalking. Stalking happens when someone threatens your life or liberty on a continuous basis. She's just shopping for pants. That's all. No more, no less. She likes your store and she likes you as a salesman. Why not smile back? It could make you a sale and even a new friend.


*Rinnie*
Ummm sir that is called shopping.....she is just someone who is polite....would you rather her be shopping and giving you the finger??


way2cool
No... WTH is wrong with you...

Your kind of really into yourself aren't you? She's just shopping for her husband and trying to be friendly. Don't make something that isn't


Gregory
Wow you must be a very paranoid person. Many people smile when the recognize someone. You have no basis for contacting the Police at all.

No.
The woman is just shopping to buy her hubby some clothes.
Maybe she really likes that store. Just because someone smiles at you doesn’t mean they are madly crazy about you. Calm down, I'm pretty sure your not the only one she has smiled at her.

Better yet, when you smile at a stranger does it mean your stalking them? I think not.

Don't be freaked - remember - it takes 2 to tango ! If she comes on to you -- just shut her down ! -- "Look I'm happily married blah blah blah..." Now, if she returns with a gun -- then call the cops !
