It happened to me last Sunday when I was taking the tube to meet up with my boyfriend. I was sitting on the first train reading Vogue and had my head phones on listening to music, when I see this guy sitting diagonally opposite me and he was staring at me. I just ignore him and get back to reading my magazine thinking- 'I get off in a few stops... hopefully he will stay on the train!' So, when it came to changing from one line (Northern) to the next (Victoria) I quickly hop off and walk to the other platform.
The Victoria line train came fast enough and I got on and sat down... who was to sit next to me but the weirdo guy from the previous train! I thought... hmmmm.... maybe he wasn't staring at me and I was just being paranoid. As he's sat next to me, he can't turn his head around and stare at me all the time but that's exactly what happened!! He just kept on looking at me... I didn't want to say anything... I'm not one to confront random strangers and technically, he hadn't done anything wrong or try to touch me so, I just sat back and listened to my music.
After changing train lines again... from the Victoria to the Jubilee I saw him go down the escalators first. My first thought was great, he's not following me- I was just freaking myself out. So he goes through one entrance to the platform and I make an effort to walk to the last one, so that I can avoid him. I'm standing there, waiting for the train believing that I've gotten rid of him. I hop on to the train and not soon after me- lo and behold! Its that guy again!!! Grrrrr.... this time I don't even sit down and stand trying to avoid him.
When I got to my stop- I was just glad I was meeting my boyfriend, so I hop off and rush to the exit to meet him and I didn't even look back to see if that guy actually did follow me!!
