[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 6659214, member: 27897"] Well there's paranoia, and then there's situational awareness. If you're in the bad part of town at 3:00am, then having your wits about you is only prudent. I work at a university in downtown Toronto. Not far away, off campus, is a somewhat rough area and, occasionally, the inmates break containment. I generally get to work some time before 6:00am and one morning while walking from my car I noticed that two rough looking types, one on foot and another on a bike, clocked in behind me and started following me. As my first stop was just down an alley to our campus security building I wasn't too worried. the one on the bike kept riding slowly behind me, up the alley, about a hundred feet back. The other one cut around the church next to our security offices. He was clearly going to cut me off and I'd have been stuck between them, if I'd gone right. I went left and walked into security. Security didn't seem to believe me when I said that I was being followed (the lot of them have since gotten a talking to, as I frequently do work for their bosses). The two were also waiting for me when I left security. I made sure to make a stop where three of our overnight cleaners were chatting and the guys following me thought better of keeping it up, as by now they had to realize I knew what was up. They tried to sell us their stolen bike and then buggered off. The moral: There's no need to be paranoid, but occasionally someone really is out to get you. Keep your wits. [/QUOTE]
