I saw myself on a cop show

So I want to preface this by saying I’m a single mother of 3 little girls. We all are all girls and VERY close. My 3 little girls are my absolute life!!! They are the reason I’m still here today. That being said, At one point in my life I would do anything to assist anyone in need. That already puts me in the oh shit list. <br>I used to work for a manufacturing plant strictly on night shift. When I took the job, the HR lady made it VERY VERY VERY clear that I was NEVER to give coworkers rides. For obvious reasons. I’m just glad I got out of there alive! <br>So I get off one night at 6 am. For some reason, I’m a creature of habit and always took the same route me. We all knew I took that route because it was an easy way to get to the main road. So here comes my ex coworker. I don’t really see him because I’m in my car in a daze. I quickly step out of my car and run into the store next door. I didn’t realize he was behind me until he was RIGHT BEHIND ME. I time it just right so the automatic doors aren’t open and give him a little bulge with my car keys. Well he said “oh sewing lady, you’re good. I’m not going to hurt you. Just give me a ride.” I said “I haven’t seen you since I got fired over giving you a ride home…you can walk. You’ve walked here.” ( I heard later that HE was the one who got me fired so he could come and visit me at my house.) well this SOB goes off and starts yelling and screaming “FUCK YOU! I’M GOING TO COME VISIT YOU!!! I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!!” I said “listen motherfucker, I give you a ride home and you try to get into my pants. I say no, you get mad then tell HR on me and get me fired. I’m not going to take you anywhere.” I turn around and walk back to my car. I see him get into his car and pull up to the light. I go around to the other side of the building and down a service road to get out of his line of sight. I decide to go to the police station. I tell them everything and they gave me a map of all the routes I can take home. <br>So I get home that morning around 8 am and my ex and I are sitting on the couch. I tell him what happened and we both decide to put motion sensor lights up and security cameras. We also made it very clear that my name, number, address, etc was to never be given out to anyone. I made appointments at the credit reporting agencies, my student loan place, bank, post office, etc. My ex said he was going to stay up and keep watch. Well we get a knock at the door around 11 pm that night. We do not answer it and just stare at each other thinking “yeah…that’s him.” So I open the curtains and there he is. Standing on my porch. We just stare at each other and he gets in his car and leaves. <br>So fast forward a few years…I’m sitting on my couch with my husband and little girls when cops comes on. Cops is a show where they ride along with police on certain calls. So they get the call about a “rober in the area”. When they finally apprehend the guy, it’s him. I cannot stress how strange it was to see someone you KNOW on national tv being arrested for armed robbery. Then I found out that he’s never been in jail but his crimes were so bad that his bond was denied. Is he my let’s not meet story? Absolutely! But if he doesn’t scare you, what will?
