I worked at Walmart over the summer and there was this one maintenance man there who was bi-polar and schitzophrenic. I have nothing against people with either of those two illnesses because several family members suffer from them and I love them just the same! However, this guy gave me the serious creeps. Not right away, but after sitting with him at lunch one day I noticed he began to follow me around. At first i thought I was making things up in my mind, but then I realized when talking to other girls at work that he was doing the same thing to them. He would wait until I was alone in an aisle and walk down it and stand behind me. When I would turn around, he'd walk quickly away. He would also stare at the me and the other girls while we were eating lunch. He'd just sit there and stare for several minutes, with food all over his mouth and his mouth hanging open. He would also stand right outside the bathrooms while girls were in there while he was waiting to clean them. When they built the new bathroom at our store, they put a mirror near the doorway and he would look in and watch you as you were in the bathroom. Finally the store got smart and took the mirror down and this guy threw a fit. I heard him telling on of the higher ups that "they needed to put the mirror back up because he couldn't look into the bathroom anymore and see the stalls".
He also knew personal information about several of the girls' vehicles, including color of the car, make, model, and even license plate numbers. That was a little unnerving.
I don't think this guy knew he was being so creepy because of his mental disabilities. However, he definitely had the potential to hurt someone. He was the type that would be friendly one moment, then pitch a fit the next. Even though he was pretty skinny, he was also a strong person. When I started at walmart he had come back from disability. Before he left, he had been putting letters into a girl's locker that said he would daydream about her while he cooked dinner and he pictures her as his future wife. He never signed the letters, so they couldn't prove it was him, but management knew. After that he went on disability for a chemical imbalance. He had been working for a few months and he just kept getting stranger and stranger. A few days ago I was told he would not be back for awhile and I have a feeling the store convinced him to take another leave.
I really felt bad for him, but at the same time I did NOT want to give him any of the wrong ideas. I went through a similar ordeal with a guy who suffered from aspbergers. He decided he had a crush on me and nothing short of "I will not date you" gave him the hint to leave me alone. Sometimes people like this guy at work and the one from school don't mean anything by their creepiness. They just don't know how to act in public. However, obsessing like this guy at work did was very creepy to me!
