Scary or funny?

Saturday, September 02, 2006

After work yesterday I walked to the nearby building were I park my car. I was approaching the entrance into the lift area when I spotted a guy on his way out of the building. He looked at me briefly too when he walked by. I waited for the lift and when the doors opened, I stepped in and immediately pushed the button to shut the doors. Just then, the man I saw outside stepped in. He smiled at me and pushed a button where he'd be getting out before me.

During the ride, he saw the office tag I was wearing and he struck a conversation with me which went like this:

Man: So you work for ABC Bank (name of bank protected).
Me: Yeah.
Man: Credit card?
Me: *shake head*
Man: Loan?
Me: *shake head again* (and then I thought, what the heck, the next guess he makes I'll just say yes and get the small talk over and done with!)
Man: Then what do you do?
Me: Marketing.
Man: For what?
Me: *just smile*

Then the lift stopped at his floor and the doors opened. In my head I was thinking why didn't the lift go up faster! He held on to the opened doors and continued:

Man: So do you have a credit card?
Me: *Baffled* (what does he want???)
Man: Ooh, sorry, I meant do you have a business card to give me?
Me: No!

With that, he got out and left me alone. Minutes later, I was driving out of the building...and there he was, WALKING, not DRIVING along the street! It made me wonder if he had actually gone to the carpark to get or drop off something in his car, or he just entered the lift to strike up that weird conversation.

You better be careful about guys like this. Hope he's not some pervert but he sure acted like one.

Be very careful & alert at all times! Better keep a pepper spray handy. :-)

Hey Eternity.... Please please be very careful next time. If possible, DON'T get in the lift with anyone dodgy- if ure in first then he comes in, pretend you left something and go back to where u were. Run (if you needed). I have already lost a friend to some physco, I dont want to loose another...There's far too many weirdo. And I agree with DANCING QUEEN, carry a pepper spray in your hands (not handbag) when walking to car, esp in office/mall carpark. take care babes
