Kicking the Shit Out of Life

Accidental Stalker

Am I the only guy that often feels like he’s accidentally stalking somebody on a city sidewalk?

Let me explain.  I walk to work every day, maybe a mile and a half.  Probably two or three days a week I end up walking behind some random girl for the whole distance.  We end up standing next to each other every other block or so waiting for the crosswalk, and occasionally I get these looks.  Looks that get increasingly weird as the walk goes on, as if I’m following them on purpose, waiting for the first dark alley or something.

I mean come on, I’m a pretty normal looking guy.  I just want to be like, hey, listen, we’re just walking in the same direction for a while, chill out.
