There is this guy at my new job that really creeps me out. Im 16 and he has to be over 35. I dont know a thing about him and dont care to,but the other day he went by my check stand and gave me this extremely scary stare. i tried not to make eye contact with him,but i kinda looked at the corner of my eye when he was a little further away and he was still staring me down. I went to my lunch and he was walking my way..i thought of turning around and going back but thought it would look obvious so i just walked past him and he said hi and just stared me down until i was out of sight. This has happened a couple of times but after he went by my check stand i just got the chills. Has anyone had this happen to them,and what did you do?

I'd say try to avoid him at all costs. Even if it means finding another job. At 16, jobs are easy to replace. If that's not possible, just make it very clear that u want nothing to do with him. Respond to his creepy "ogling" with a wrinkle of your nose and such. Maybe he'll get the hint. If it keeps on after that, report him to your boss.

Let's see. I assume you're young and you must be appealing to this guy. Men like to look at females. All men look at females and, if you're pretending to not notice, he may be looking when he thinks you're not looking. All he has done is say hi. That's pretty much what people do that work together regardless of age. Do you really think he shouldn't say hi to you because he's 35 and you're sixteen. Maybe you should go back home and stay there until you grow up and mature a bit more. On the other hand, you do have to be careful about creeps and freaks and there are lots of them out there. Just be careful when you come and go to work-don't leave alone. Your instincts could be right on. And then, he could just think you're a cutie pie and have a crush on you. Yes, 35 year old men like to fantasize about young ladies. And then there is sexual harassment. Staring you up and down is rude and not to be tolerated. Keep an eye on the old buzzard. . .

You don't mention if this guy is a co-worker or customer. Either way, you need to talk to you manager right away. This is a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable and unsafe at work. As employees, we have the right to feel safe at work. If the situation does not change, seek employment elsewhere.

Does he work with you? If he does tell your supervisor or ask someone of a higher authority. He might be harmless, but it's better to be safe then sorry!

Ignore the guy and stay as far away as possible. The feeling you have is probably your intuition.
