While she shopped. Context being that she’s…borderline stalking me. Only when I’m working, but comes in specifically when I’m working to talk to me and sometimes buys something small, but it’s clear the reason is to talk to me, and she’ll spend 20 minutes to an hour trying to talk to me during my shift where I’m 1. Busy, and 2. Just…generally not interested in her brazen advances. She’s tried to get me to hit on her, very obviously mentioning her chest and trying to get me to comment…it’s very weird. I’m really quiet and soft spoken irl, so my approach has largely just been treating her professionally and then when that didn’t work kinda ignoring her when she tries to keep taking to me while I’m working. She’s asked my supervisors (idk if she knew they were supervisors rather than just coworkers) my schedule, and they ofc gave it for some bs reason. And she’s come in and told me she got my schedule and then just goes on tryigg to talk to me…at register. I’ve since spoken to my supervisors and said please don’t do this again, I’m being stalked (ish?), and ironically a non supervisor coworker that was there was the only one who inherently understood that you can’t do that…not my supervisors…anyway

More recently she came in with her bag, not a purse but functioning like one, and handed it to me. Idk why I took it, just like when your friend is talking and hands you something and auto pilots, she stuck her arm out with it expectantly and I just took it and set it down where I would tell anyone to leave the stuff they wanted to leave at register. She went about shopping and then bought a single thing and held her hand out expectantly, obviously wanting me to hand her the bag that was always in her reach, and I ultimately did because there was a line behind her, but paired with everything else, it felt distinctly like she was trying to make me roleplay a relationship with her, like be my bf and hold my bag while I shop, type thing. Just, no one else has ever done that to me before and it all made me so uncomfortable and confused and annoyed…do people have thoughts? This is weird, right?

Also please no suggestions of telling her I want to be friends, because I don’t, and it took my almost yelling that at my therapist to get her to stop suggesting that. I don’t want to be friends with this person, I want her to leave me alone. I’m not sure if this is exactly the right group for this, but I figured I’d try 🤷
