when i was 19 (m) i worked at a nursery and my 43 (m) year old coworker genuinely was breathing down my neck 24/7 (i regret to say i still remember what his breath smells like). like wherever i was, he was also there stood as close as possible, constantly talking to me while i was trying to do my job and distracting me on purpose. i never got a break and it was so distracting when i’d be trying to round up 20 rowdy toddlers and i have this guys gut literally touching my back. on one of my last days there i was filling in some paperwork and he genuinely stood behind me so closely i was pinned against the wall whilst he was just stood behind me talking like everything was normal, this guy was easily like 300lbs and im ngl i’m a beanpole so it was definitely on purpose. he’d also ask where i like to go clubbing (i unfortunately hadnt clocked on to what he was doing yet and admitted i go to gay bars) and telling me stories of things he did when drunk right in front of the children. i assumed for a while he was just overly touchy and friendly with everyone and didn’t get social ques but he never did it to any of our other co workers and i was the only other man that worked there and i was also the youngest. i’ve never told anyone this information other than this reddit post i think i was mostly ashamed of being seen as ‘weak’ enough to target especially at work and it’s probably also partly that i just consistently gave him benefit of the doubt and assumed he was just overly friendly.

edit to add this because typing it out it really doesn’t seem like a big deal but his overall vibe around me was really creepy something just felt off with him. maybe i am just reading too much into it and taking signs of friendliness the wrong way, i’ve always been very touch repulsed but idk there’s a difference between a friendly touch and having a guy way bigger than me stood so close to me against a wall that i physically cannot move

also adding he didn’t exactly WORK there he was there doing work experience for university

if my item is on its way from a depot 2 hours away from me, is it likely to be delivered today or will it end up at the local depot overnight? my parcel apparently set off to my local depot about 6 hours ago but i haven’t had an update since then. i’m just very paranoid about this specific item going missing so it’s odd to me that tracking hasn’t been updated yet
