Why Didn’t You Say Anything Earlier?
When we were about 18 years old my friend Rich was telling me he was being followed by a strange dude with long hair, beard, and mustache. He said he would turn around and see the guy following him from a distance.
At night Rich would look out his front window and see the guy standing in the middle of the road staring at his house. Two weeks later we finished up our band practice in our lead guitarist’s backyard and Rich left to put his amp in his car. A few moments later Rich came running back terrified.
He said the bearded guy was out front and that he was coming through the gate to the backyard. I saw the creep come in and he asked for Rich a few times. Rich asked who he was and he said “Doug.” They had been schoolmates but Doug had moved away for a few years and grew his hair long.
Rich asked him why he didn’t say anything earlier and Doug said he was nervous about approaching Rich because he wasn’t sure it was him. So he just stalked him for two weeks and Rich was terrified the entire time. Story credit: Reddit / Resident_Attitude_43
