writes:I have two jobs, one of which is a job at a garage. I work as a consoler (authorising the use of pumps - i'm the one that presses the button to send your fuel down the hose!) and also on the counter in the garage shop.The garage is just a small town one, and we mainly get motorbikers as we have a bike meeting place down the road and the locals.Anyway, one of the locals, a very old man - maybe 60-70, called David is very odd. He was very friendly at first - and thats all i thought was in it, but then he started saying things like "If we were alone together, i would feel very comfortable with that, and i hope you would too". Slightly disconcerting, but i dismissed it. He then went on to tell me (another day) that he had just been in a nearby town all day with another women, and wasn't going to tell his wife. He then went on to tell me how he'd had 7 women in a night when he was younger.When he says these things, i usually pretend to stack shelves, and look like i'm busy (i've been advised to do this by one of the managers and another shop worker) and he usually goes away.I don't ask questions, or pay him any extra attention, so i don't think that it is my behaviour that makes him say these things, and i've been told he does it to all the shopworkers (although theres only one on at a time).He's recently starting asking me if i have a boyfriend, and always asks whether we're still going out everytime i see him. He also often says that if he was 10 years younger, then he would have me as his girlfriend, and that i would enjoy the time alone with him.He's also recently started getting on the bus that i get on to go to see my boyfriend, maybe by coicidence but sometimes i feel very odd. He always comes over and speaks to me, and i usually pretend i have a call or am listening to music so i can't hear him. He makes me feel very uncomforatble. I know he's very old, but i still feel intimidated by him, as i'm only 5"1, 18, and he has a way of staring at you which you feel very uncomforatble with.Any ideas of what might help the situation?Thank you Reply to this Question
