[quote=Anonymous]I ran into my co-worker when taking DD to the playground where we live.  He lives really far away, about 1 hour drive away and I always found him weird.  He was with the family, his wife and kids, which he introduced me to.  There was a look of utter shock in my face when I saw him in what is essentially our "backyard", we live really close to the playground.  He must have felt like he had to explain, so he said, they came to visit a friend, who lives in the area.  There was a woman who then came up to his wife and started talking to her,  she seemed to be that friend, but he didn't introduce me to her.  The woman - the friend, does look familiar to me, as I've seen her on the playground before, so, the story added up in my mind, but I still feel weird about the encounter.  DH's first thought was that the guy might have been stalking me.

The truth is, we lived in this area for 3 years and I worked at this company with this co-worker for 8 months already, but I have never seen him before and we go to the playground every day.  It's a far drive for them, so maybe that's why they haven't visited that friend frequently.  He does know the area where I live, not the exact address of course, so that is why it feels a bit weird.

This guy and I don't have the best relationship at work, we had a few confrontations in the meetings with others and he tends to insert himself into people's business to elevate his position.  Other co-workers described him as someone to stay away from.  Otherwise, our relationship is pretty neutral, we say hi when we see each other and all is very professional and civil.  Truthfully, I don't exactly like working with him and usually avoid him in the office.  So, when I saw him in the playground, I said "oh no", I can't escape from work, the least thing I need is being followed by people I don't want to do much with during the work week on my weekends.
