An employee was filming me at the grocery store

For a tik tok. He came up to me and my mom and asked a stupid question, acting very erratically, and came back again. He was holding his phone up to his chest and when he walked away I saw his camera was on. I reported him to the store.

This is one of my biggest fears. I hate being filmed everywhere I go, but I despise the thought of being filmed for others entertainment against my will. I went out to the car because I got insanely paranoid, and he was out at his car acting incredibly weird.

I’m a mess now. I’m insanely paranoid and my anxiety is through the roof. The people I went to the store with didn’t care and took their time shopping even though I’m freaking out in the car. My paranoia is at a ten now and I just want to crawl in a hole and live there. One of my biggest issues is being filmed for social media, and I knew it was happening but I didn’t want to give him anything juicy or look like the K word that gets thrown around now. I probably should have just let it go, but I was freaking out and reported him to management. I think that probably made the whole thing worse.

I’m at a 10 out of 10 on the anxiety scale right now.

What a jerk! I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’d be feeling super paranoid too.

What an a hole.

I would’ve started dancing and humping the air.

Some d**che was filming me once while he walked up to me and asked where the welfare office was. Young kid. Hope it wasn’t some f’d up school assignment.

I hate having my picture taken and walking in a casino is the worst. I avoid cameras as much as possible unless I am the one behind the shutter.

I had something similar happen to me about 20 years ago and still remember it. The guy was also acting very erratically.

Looking back, I think he was mentally ill.

That’s probably the case with your guy.

If he did stick it on social media he’ll probably get 2 or 3 views. I wouldn’t worry about it.

He’s probably having a mental break down. Don’t let it get to you. If 1 out of 100people have schizophrenia you’re bound to bump into some people who have psychosis and are having a mental break down.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I’ve calmed down a lot.

For all we know it could have been the most well meaning, warm hearted approach. And as such he would naturally be viewed as a jerk without respect, an ahole and a douche that’s having a mental breakdown. We are the schizophrenics here. We misinterpret situations in our lifes for what they are not.
