Very Creepy Man at Nordstrom Rack
Hello everyone this happened around 2 weeks ago now and I’ve just been forgetting to post which isn’t good of me but at least I’m posting now.
Anyways, on Thursday August 6th I went to Nordstrom rack in Skokie on Skokie blvd. At this store the women’s shoes are near the kids clothing section. As I was walking to the shoes I kinda clocked this guy hanging around that area and we glanced at each other but I didn’t think anything of it. I start looking through the aisles and in the first 2 aisles I’m really taking my time and there’s other people in the aisles with me. I finally get to the third aisle still taking my time but this time I’m alone in the aisle and I find a pair to try on. No joke as the heel fully gets on my foot, the man pictured above almost runs up on me excitedly and starts rambling.
He starts rambling about how “there’s a ring on his finger that stuck” and that “he’s tried everything to get it off” something about his “jeweler giving some advice” literally just rambling about his stuck ring and he has this really excited yet nervous demeanor. And as he’s talking I’m digging him my purse for some hand cream, I offer him some hand cream and he’s like “no I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING even lotion, lotion doesn’t work” and that he “knows this sounds crazy but a women’s heel would just really work at getting the ring off his finger.” And at this point I already thought he was weird from the very second I saw him in the store, I thought he was weird when he came up to me, so then just to confirm how weird I think this guy is I ask “so you need my foot to be in the heel?” And he confirmed and literally says “yes I just know that would work, a women’s heel to pry the ring off and honestly you might not even be heavy enough for it.” And yeah when he said that it immediately confirmed my suspicion and I told him no because I wasn’t comfortable doing that. After I rejected him his mood changed completely and his face dropped and turned around quickly and left.
I reported him to a manager and the manager reports to asset protection but it seemed like they didn’t have any urgency to catch this guy.
Long story short for the last part lol, I went outside to call my boyfriend I was so so angry because people tend to think I look younger than I am (I’m 21) and who knows how old this creep thought I was. And if he’s ever done this to anyone else before older or younger. I was also pissed because he thought I was dumb enough to fall for this sick trick. Anyways so as I’m outside I catch him LEAVING THE DSW. YES ANOTHER SHOE STORE. I found his car and that’s his license plate. As I’m outside an asset worker comes out the store to talk to me and he even says that that man would come in to another location in Vernon Hills and do the same thing; pretending to record women and girls, tricking them into the weird heel thing, and just being a disgusting creep.
So yeah! Just a heads up for this guy, I made a police report but there’s nothing they can do about it I guess PLEASE BE SAFE and don’t be afraid to cuss a pedo out. 👍
