So I mentioned previously this lady I call her Olga. I don't know her real name but she's always at every university gathering that includes free food. Literally.
When I first started coming to this university as a member of the community I enjoyed the free food gatherings as well. Now I am actually more interested in the lecture than the free food, but sometimes they go hand in hand.
I think she showed up around the same time I did- maybe a little bit after -because I noticed she would watch me for cues as to what to do -as if she considered me an authority or something.
And she would imitate me. Occasionally I might hold up my phone to take a picture of a screen that the speaker is referring to. And then I would notice she does the same thing a few seconds after me.
It wasn't coincidence. She noticed I did it and that prompted her to do the same even though I don't think she even was really taking a picture or if she was, she didn't really care what she was taking a picture of.
And at a law school event, when I put the back down of one of the chairs in the law school room where those chairs go down, I noticed she did the same a few minutes later.
Then, last week r I arrived early for an event, and then she showed up and even though the room was still fairly empty, she asked if she could sit right next to me. It was odd and very creepy to me because we're not friends. I've never talked to her nor have I gotten to know her at all because I just plainly don't like her.
I noticed her piggish behavior from the beginning she would position herself to always be right by the food table sometimes getting up in the middle of a lecture because she knew it was coming to an end and so she wanted to be right by the door where she could get to the food fastest, & first .
I've seen her go to one event to get some food and she fills her plate and she takes that plate & she comes to a second event for more food .
I'm wondering where she comes from and by the way where she lives- I'm wondering if she actually sleeps in an office of somebody who she's a friend with -maybe she's a friend with a professor who's kind of made her into an activist of some sort.
Because she's so easily able to show up at all these events all the time on time she has to have some kind of easy access to the campus.
She has asked questions to a speaker a few times and she speaks in broken English so she's obviously from another country. But as I was saying just this last few weeks the odd behavior has been increasing because first of all she asked to sit next to me.
A week later I noticed she put her stuff down right next to a chair where my laptop was- which I had placed there as I came in so I would have a chair to sit in because the seats fill up fast at this particular venue.
So there she is trying to sit next to me again. When I noticed she put her stuff down right next to my chair I just picked up my laptop and moved somewhere else. I'm starting to wonder if she's actually just trying to harass me .
And then most recently today I noticed when I came in she was already sitting in the chair I sat in last time as if she intentionally was trying to take my chair.
Personally I'm not obsessive compulsive. I don't need to sit in the same chair every time, but I thought this was some kind of intentional weird trolling behavior on her part. Or simply another form of harassment.
But simply speaking it's really getting tiring to see her at everything that I attend. It's stifling me. And it might be a little less annoying if she would just do her own thing but now she's obviously trying to sit next to me or sit in the chair that I sat in last time. it's really weird and creepy.
I don't know what to do about it, because I was intending to at least finish this year at this university as a member of the community attending my usual events and lectures, but I don't want to keep going if she's going to be there, and especially if she's trolling me or trying to harass me in a slight way.
I've been using the university facilities to continue to work on my project on my laptop, which requires quiet study settings & space to think and type etc and do research. So I've been at the university campus in various places doing my work and then I attend these events on the side. It's been perfect for me up until the Olga drama has climaxed so to speak .
So anybody out there if you're a member the university community or even if you're not if you just hear this and especially if you're a Christian I ask for your prayers for this situation and pray 🙏🙏🙏🙏for Olga herself that whatever is making her tick somehow will be resolved- that she can find a purpose- and for meaning in life besides just going to free food events at the university every day & harassing me👎
