AI Summary
5 min read“She tried to kill me.” That is the update a woman posted on Reddit two days after describing a coworker who would not stop sending photos of adult toys, touching her despite being told no, and inviting herself over. The coworker sliced her arm open with a knife when she tried to enforce a boundary in public. The episode collects several such stories, all drawn from stalker-themed Reddit threads, and the throughline is a grim one: unwanted attention that escalates because the target is polite, because institutions fail to intervene, and because the stalker interprets professional courtesy or silence as encouragement.
The cost of politeness and the limits of “just saying no”
A recurring pattern across the stories is that the victims try to manage the situation themselves before involving authorities. In the mining-site story, the OP told her colleague she was not interested in women and did not like being touched. The colleague responded by leaning on her, asking about her sex life, and eventually producing a knife. In the story of the 23-year-old waitress, she politely declined a 38-year-old customer’s advances, only for him to find her apartment, wait by her car, and slip an AirTag into her purse. She told the police, but because he had not yet hurt her, they could not act. She quit her job and moved in with an ex-boyfriend to feel safe.
