Today, I was leaving work when some creeper start following me. When he asked me for my name, I immediately gave him a fake one. He just laughed and said “I hope to see you soon.” He used my real name. First AND last. I was still wearing my name tag. FML
kandykrazed17 tells us more.
lol first of all i work at a WAMU where our name tags give our full name so no lies there. secondly, this guy was twice my age. i was not being bitchy at all. he said hi and then i smiled and said hi back. it's one thing when you greet someone. it's another when you keep following them asking personal questions. i didn't give a fake name on purpose. it was just a natural reaction. lol but yea i guess it wasn't smart to walk out with my name tag still on. o and btw not to be rude but i took AP english so i'm pretty sure i know how to use “proceeded” in a sentence correctly. it's not my fault if other ppl don't or overuse it.

Following her isn't creepy? Pretty sure it is. Some guys act like girls owe them a chance, but we don't owe anyone anything, and we're not "close-minded bitches" for not wanting to share our personal information when we don't feel comfortable.

a little presumptuous that he was a creeper just because he seemed to be interested, i bet if he was your type, you would have loved it. nonetheless sucks that you got caught like that, sucks for him too though that a girl lied to him- he recovered from it well, you did not.

Agreed with 7 and 23. And then imagine the last sentence going like "Turns out I was still wearing my nametag"

Who cares if people use the word "proceeded"?? I doubt many people would even notice it if it wasn't pointed out all the freaking time... As for the FML - that is seriously freaky. I would have probably done the same thing. There's probably a reason the OP used the words "some creeper" rather than "some random guy". Sometimes you just get a creepy vibe from someone, and it's probably a good idea to take that seriously. It's not even as if she said something bitchy - she just gave him a different name.

The "proceeded" here is used correctly, people need to get their panties out of a knot. FYL just for the proceeded comments if NOTHING else. Creepers suck, next time take off your nametag

I was taught not to talk to strangers when I was like 6 years old. You should have just ignored him and ran into a nearby store or something. I disagree with the people saying the OP is rude or stuck up. Safety is the most important thing. If I come off as rude or stuck up when a strange man talks to me, I don't care. It's not worth it to be nice and risk my safety. I'm not going to yell "OH MY GOD CREEP GET AWAY OR I'M CALLING THE COPS" - that's unnecessary. To avoid the awkwardness, I pretend I don't speak English or that my headphones are too loud and I can't hear. Besides, this is probably fake. Name tags don't list first and last names.

To everyone saying name tags don't have first and last names: you must not pay attention to them or get out much. I have been to plenty of places where the employees have their full names on their name tags.
