Starbucks Stalker

I usually don't notice guys that look. Hey I can appreciate a guy's looks too so I'll give them that much. If they say a thing to me then that's crossing the line.

I meet this guy over at Union Square. I was getting out of the subway and walking up the stairs when this guy right next to me on the staircase said something to me. I knew he was talking to me but I didn't hear, I was listening to my ipod. I ducked into a Starbucks to avoid him and he followed me in. I got on line thinking that he wouldn't dare follow me through Starbucks. Oh but he does, he walks in, walks out, stare at me through the window and walk in again to stand in line behind a couple behind me. I finally got to the front of the line and ordered, walked to the condiment table. I thought he left until he appeared right beside me empty handed and asked me "How are you?" I pretended not to hear. He asked it again. I looked
right at him pretending not to understand and he finally walked away.

I don't need to be asked "How are you?" by a complete stranger that look high on something. Girls be careful in Union Square. This guy doesn't seem to mind harassing or following a girl that is obviously underage. I do wish I got a picture but I didn't. He looked totally out of it, like he was stoned or drunk, but then he walked pretty normally for a drunk guy.

I don't need some stoned guy following me from a subway station, to a starbucks, through the line, to the condiment table just to ask me how I am. If this happens I'll be sure to have my cell phone in my hands.
