Just wondering what scary experiences offtopic has had in real life. don't say anything bannable, though. Use common sense. Anyways, mine was probably from a few years back. I was walking back home from the movie theater. It was around 11 or 12 at night. After about 5 minutes of walking, I thought this guy behind me was following me. I didn't want to turn around and look at him, because if he thought I was suspecting him, it could've been problematic. So I just looked at the reflection from side mirrors on cars to see him. To test if he was following me, I walked around the block. Just four right turns on every corner. If he was going somewhere, he wouldn't have done that; he wouldn't walk around to the exact same position in a loop. So I was starting to get tense. And then I saw him pull out something from a pocket. I thought it was a weapon, so I ran the final few blocks to the building I lived in and up to my apartment. I looked through the window, and down on the street, I saw him, looking frantically, trying to find me. It freaked me out. EDIT: Most of these are scarier than mine. And thanks for bringing us to trending! EDIT: offtopic sure has had some pretty bad experiences. Glad you're all safe/better now.
