Confrontation (?) with the office CREEP.

The following was typed pretty much in real time.

A post for the weirdo who keeps staring at me.

He's doing it right now. That creepy guy who looks over our cubicle wall to oggle me while I try not to pay attention. Instead, I type furiously trying to look "busy" while he pleads with me occularly to look at him. When I do make eye contact, he looks away.

This is the most annoying, creepiest person I have ever encountered. STOP LOOKING AT ME!!! He's doing it now. I'm going to look back in 5...4...3....2....1...

There. Now he's looking at his computer again. SITTING DOWN.

It's 11:15am.

Ok, he's starting to bob now. 11:16 am. Stop BOBBING DUDE! STAY SITTING DOWN. He's fucking bobbing. Up and down. Getting closer and closer to breaking the barrier with his eyes.

He just snuck a peek. Is this really happening? 11:18am. I'm observing a weirdo, who won't stop observing me. I feel like I'm going nuts. Is anyone else seeing this?

I'm waiting for him to make another move. I can't believe this is my JOB.

He got up. Stretching, while watching me. I'm not sure because I'm watching him perfiferally, but I think he picked his nose. EW. I am NOT looking over dude! So gross. 11:21

I'm typing. I'm typing. I'm typing. I'm typing. I'm typing. Stop looking at me. Sit down. He's only 3 feet away from me. Stop looking at me! I'm typing. Typing.

He just knocked on the divider. Where are my headphones when I need them!!?? Is he trying to get my attention? Oy.

Okay, I didn't look at him, but gave him the 1 minute finger. 11:24

What do I do? What do I do? Brrringgg!!!

Okay, saved by the phone. Thanks person I can't understand on the other line. Talk to me forever, or at least until creepy guy goes home.

Sending an email to my boss requesting a desk change because "my eyes hurt from the glare of the screen and windows". Doesn't need to know that my eyes only hurt from focusing so intently on my screen to look busy.

That's it. He's staring again. Time to get verbal. 11:28

"Yes?." I tried to sound rude and snooty. He got it. Sat down.

Now I feel bad. I shouldn't have been so rude. Maybe I could have been nicer.

Fuck! He's STARING AGAIN!

Okay, breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

"Is there something I can help you with? I notice you keep looking at me. It's very distracting."

"Oh." He said. "Sorry." AND THEN HE KEEPS LOOKING.

What a stupid thing to say. Sorry? Are you kidding me?

"I think you can sit down now." I go back to typing.

He sinks in his seat. No activity for 5 minutes now. Is it sexual harassment when the harasser is clearly mentally incompentant?

1:31 pm- No activity. He hasn't made eye contact with me once in 2 hours. Yea.

I win. Success.
