Woman fears for her life after man shows some interest
Discussion
Is it just me or is she maybe overreacting a touch?

You think that's an overreaction. Someone with privileged information returning to an address 2 hours later and saying he just wanted to 'check her out'? Womam lives on her own, who knows her history, you are looking at this from a male point of view, single, vulnerable, no way to defend herself if this guy turns out to be anything worse than a creep. Incredible lack of common sense and good judgement on the drivers behalf
Anyone who thinks that is acceptable behaviour from an employee is so far out of touch I don't know where to start.
He will probably be sacked or reprimanded for it, and it will be entirely his own fault.
You cannot behave like that while at work.
We can debate all we want about how to attract women whilst not at work, but this incident happened while at work, so standards of behaviour need to be upheld.

It is certainly wrong and creepy of the driver to do what he did, however it does sound as though she is either massively over reacting or hamming it up for the papers and inevitable compo!!
We had a guy get hold of a customers phone number, he started to text her, saying how attractive he found her etc, she didn't know who the texts were coming from but did a bit of digging, going back to business's that would have had her number recently, it was discovered they originated from a member of our staff, he was sacked.

I had a copper do this after my ex girlfriend suffered a break in about 10 years ago.
Came by "to follow up". Then again to check how "she was coping". Wrote down his personal mobile number "in case she ever needed anything".
Last time he turned up "because he was in the area" I answered the door and set him straight on things.
He tried to front it out and said I was threatening him, when I said your whole career is now my hands and I don't expect to see around here ever again (although not that politely).
Another bloke, a personal trainer at her gym, took her mobile number, from the gyms computer system (a serious data protection breach) and started pestering her. Dealt with him in the same manner.
Some proper weird snide creepy men out there.

I know of (now former, thankfully) colleagues in the police who have done stuff like this and have been rightly sacked. It's wrong. plain and simple, let alone any of the Computer Misuse Act/data protection offences committed.Came by "to follow up". Then again to check how "she was coping".

Years ago I was out with some work colleagues and got introduced to a male friend of one of them. At the end of the night my girlfriend came to collect me and offered to give them a lift home, new guy included. As he left the car he wanted to add me to Facebook so asked me to send him a friends request and watched me to make sure I did it.A couple of days later my girlfriend asks me "Do you know XXXX XXXX as he has just sent me a friends request?". Cheeky b
d has completely ignored the friend request he made me send him and was now sending one to my girlfriend instead.Dibble said:

Perversely, my being there and having a go at him probably saved his career. My missus was genuinely fked off with it by that point and wanted to report him.He's probably a Chief Inspector now.

I met my now wife this way. 
She worked in a bank and I was a customer. She took my details off the system and called my home phone to ask me out (this was after a few flirty transactions haha). Must have been my massive bank balance that attracted her.*Could have worked out differently if I'd just declined the date and got her fired.
Not really; I was 19 and had no money.
There really is something creepy about doing this sort of thing when you hold any level of power over the person.
I know someone who was very interested in the gym and trained with a P.T 3 times a week at a place near her work (always the same guy). This had been going on for around a year so they knew each other quite well and he was well aware she was in a long term relationship.
This guy then proceeded to tell her she was very attractive and ask her out and the worst part was he did it after a training session while he was helping her stretch.
She doesn't have P.T sessions anymore and although she works in the same place she felt she had to leave that gym.
