Plot twist, guy was an accomplice and now they both know where you live.

Michael was very lucky the writer realized what was happening and played along. Otherwise the stalker could have flipped the situation
around and "protected" her from him, making it even harder for her to lose him.

I work at a tire shop and was calling a customer for approval on repairs, I could hear her husband freaking out in the background he was 1/4
screaming at the top of his lungs about how his wife was fucking stupid and mad about her spending money on their 1 vehicle. I asked her 2/4
to respond with "no we don't want the tires" if she didn't feel safe which she did. I asked her if she was still at the address on file 3/4
She said yes and so I called the police for her. Apparently he had a very long history of doing this and was arrested yet again.
WaltherWater
my guy, yes
I grew up in that kind of environment and it always hits home with me. I understand that people can't always vocalize that they're in danger

Or, scream like a gorilla at the other guy for following you and publicly pick your nose at him. Be weird. Be rude. Stay alive. #crimejunkie

Junkies unite! I’m also a murderino...you?
Ooooo! That sounds intriguing. No, drop the name of the podcast! I’m on the prw as I binged all the way up to current on CJ!
My favorite murder.
ShutYourRobotMouth
I had a similar experience in my city. A large black man sat behind me on the bus and began saying loudly behind me, in my ear “you white
Women are all the same. I hate you. When you get off the bus I’m going to f’ing kill you. I’m going to mess you up.” He was easily three
Times my weight and another black man started telling him to leave me alone, and when that didn’t work he changed the subject and started
A conversation to distract him. The harasser got off the bus before my stop but 20+ years later I still remember this man helping me.
Remember all races can be racist. There are good and bad apples in every culture, gender, county, race, etc.

What does a tuna melt look like?

I had a sandwich artist that knew I came in for only two different sandwiches and knew based on where I was standing which one I wanted.
The fillings are in different bits of the cabinet? Perhaps you automatically stood in front of the desired filling subconsciously?
