Today, an old friend and I reconnected. Everything was going fine until he threatened to visit me at work. I didn't know he knew my place of employment, so I replied, "Do you know where I live too?" He answered, "Would you hate me if I did?" FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was driving and someone was following me across the city and wouldn't let up, so I drove past my house, thinking it was a stalker. Eventually I lost them on the highway. It wasn't until I'd gotten back home that I remembered that my 'stalker' was a coworker I'd invited over for lunch. FML
Today, I was meeting my husband's old friends at his 20 year high school reunion. He introduced me as his 'friend from work' to his ex girlfriend. FML
Today, a creep called me out in the street and asked me why I was in that part of that street, because he "knows " I live in another part of the street, and he found it "odd" that I was there. He was smiling all that time too. FML
Today, I was getting catcalled downtown by a guy I've never seen before. Then he told me he knows where I live, and accurately described my apartment while he followed me for 2 blocks. FML
Today, I went to the store and ran into an old friend that I hadn't seen in years. We chatted a little, and just as I was leaving he grabbed his mobile phone. Later, I added him on Facebook. Turns out the last thing he posted was a picture of my back saying: "Look who got even fatter." FML
Today, I ran into an old friend from college on the bus to work. Having not seen each other in over 10 years, we spent a good 15 minutes talking about our lives after college. At the end, he asked me what my name was. FML
Today, my coworker came to my desk, so I greeted him with a smile, and said, "Hello friend." He then told me that we are not friends, and that he hates when I say that. Oh, OK, sorry for trying to be nice. FML
Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML
Today, I got a Facebook message from a cute guy I used to work with. He admitted to liking me, and when I asked why we never hung out, he told me that my dad, his boss at the time, threatened every guy I have ever worked with. FML
Today, someone I used to know got in touch with me, after I hadn't heard from him in years. He insisted that we met up as soon as possible, and wanted me to go to his house that afternoon. I spent the afternoon repairing his computer. Since then, no news. FML

I hope he was joking but i'd keep my distance from him just to be safe. Goodluck!

Wow, that must feel a bit creepy. Perhaps he's been stalking you. I would say you should run like hell, and run far

I'm betting you have that information readily available. Say, a Facebook page or something to that end?

Now that's a dedicated friend. I can't even get half mine to return a text! All joking aside that is slightly weird.

You know, it used to be a pleasant surprise when an old friend looked you up and "coincidentally" turned up at your favorite grocery store 200 miles away from his home.

If things get worse there is always restraining orders. Don't just leave it OP, because it's weird.

Make sure you screenshot (I'm assuming he messaged you on Facebook) everything he said! Print out all of it with a time stamp. If you get any more creeped out, show it to the police. I'm not sure how responsive they are to stalker outcries in America, but here it'd be extremely important to show the progress of conversations so they know it's not a one time thing. I really hope he just leaves it at creepy OP. Yuck.

Did you guys reconnect at that house party thrown by the other OP? In all seriousness though definitely show that to the police. It won't be considered stalking yet but showing it to them will give you proof down the road that you were already feeling like your privacy was violated, meaning the police will be more likely to respond if things escalate.

You mean an acquaintance. Why would it bother you if a friend knew where you worked/lived. If he looked you up to reconnect, it makes perfect sense that he would know those things. I think you may be over reacting. Between facebook, LinkedIn, and a telephone directory search, those are easy to find.
