Return of the creepy staring guy

Just when you think somebody might turn out not to be an asshole…


Had another encounter with the “starer” from last week. I was heading out to go rent movies today and he was coming into the building as I was leaving. We did the courtesy head-nod/bow thing as we pass and he said “good morning” in English. I replied in kind and though, “hey, maybe he’s not so creepy after all.”

Wrong!

I come home about 15 minutes later and he’s standing out side one of the apartments on my floor. I assume it’s his and he’s just popped in to pick something up and is heading back out – can’t really be sure, though.

He heads downstairs and I head over to my door, take out my keys and unlock my door. As I’m doing this I hear him stop going down the stairs, turn and say my apartment number (in Korean). Once I’m inside I can still hear him talking. I’ve got no idea if he’s on his cell or has bumped into somebody in the hallway.

What the fuck is this guy’s deal?!?

Curiosity is one thing, but come on! Is this guy really that much of a rube? I’m not even the only foreigner in my building. There’s another guy on the first floor and a chick who lives upstairs. I’ll have to ask them if they’ve run into this asshole before.

I’ve been polite to him the first two times. I can guarantee I won’t be if there’s a third “encounter.”
