What to Do When Someone is Following You on the Street
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2020
- How to tell if you're being followed? And what to do when you think someone's following you? How to get away safely? Imagine you’re walking home after a night out with friends. That’s when you hear footsteps behind you. You turn around to see someone walking toward you...
We hope nothing like this ever happens to you, but being prepared for it gives you confidence like nothing else. First of all, if some people are walking by, you can loudly say “Hey!” and pretend they’re your friends. Don’t go to your house or apartment when you’re being followed. If worse comes to worst, don’t stay quiet. But yell “fire” instead of “help.”
TIMESTAMPS:
Try to make turns 0:28
Don’t go to your house 1:00
Don’t start browsing or texting 2:03
Look at your follower 2:25
Keep consistent eye contact 3:10
Yell “fire” instead of “help” 3:53
What if they are following you in public 4:24

Plot twist : You are being followed and your alone at night and the only person you could find is actually teaming up with the person that is following you.
Chisato pfp!
I love how I’m watching this when I’m stuck in quarantine
mhm not like I'm gonna go out lol
Well its actually quite useful to know these even when in quarantine, a lot of people who struggled bc of not getting paid (maids, janitors etc) could actually rob you or even kidnap you, so its quite nice to know all these and even let your friends/family know bout these

A savage quote for those who follow you: Did I ask you to follow?
Me: *notices someone is following*
Also me: *starts coughing intensely*
Person following me: Alright imma head out
Alright imma head _in_

My brother needed to go in the elevator when there were people by it so he coughed and they backed up😂😂
Yea yo Betta head out boi

This once happenend, someone saw it and automaticly pretented to be my friend, the person following me then leaved, I am still very thankfull for that person
Your lucky!!!! People that do that are stalkers in my opinion LOL But I wonder what he wanted from you?
@I LOVE AXOLOTLS Yeah LOL
Another thing I recommend is to see if the persons alone, if he’s not alone, make sure you don’t go stop out of nowhere, even if they dash right in front of you try to push them away and run to a near police department, or somewhere that has protection.
LOL this happened to me and brother at night. Someone was following us. Luckily, I knew what to do. We walked faster. He walked faster. We turned the corner. He turned the corner. We took a few more turns until we finally got to a corner where there was a fork and we went on one side, we were also careful to be quiet but fast at the same time. When we did that we lost him, and we took a different route back home. Guys, do me a favor and dont go out for a walk and 9 30 PM T-T
WHOSE GONNA BE GOING OUT @ 9 30 PM LOVE
Being followed is scary
KSK_ Crimson yeah
Especially for someone paranoid

Riddhi Prakash Go,to the police station and your follower will get the message
You dont say
Sometime when i was a kid something like this happend to me i had to run , he was chaseing me with a van so i ran into a street that was quite tight. He got out of his van and strated runing towards me so i ran away. When he was out of my sight i hid in a bush. He ran right past me and off into the distance i was safe. It was the most traumatising experience ever.
tzo543 Did you tell your parents??
Diego S yes when i came home.I didnt have a phone atm
That's the reason i always bring pepper spray

When you're sitting on a bench and someone comes and sits next to you, ask with a straight face
*Did you bring the money?*
Underrated comment. You deserve more likes.

“Turn around and look at your follower”
*like I’d have the guts to do that*
“Don’t take out your phone”
*Few minutes later*
“Take your phone out”
Skyeet ikr so do we take the phone out or not I don’t understand him
@@bigfrizie8770 You don't take the phone out when your moving because it will slow you down and the follower might see that you noticed them and is calling someone so they might try to do something at that second and fast but if you do it while sitting and in a crowded area it's the opposite since almost everyone uses their phones in stores or restaurants and basically everywhere and when your sitting it doesn't all you down because your sitting. Did you understand?I'm sorry for my bad English

@@user-oh1mk6qq8u yeah I totally agree. I never been followed, but I am trying to learn. Thank you!!
@@robloxshitpost4756 Yes but if you take your phone out the follower will try to make a quick move because the people who are being followed's first instinct is to call someone known or the cops and the follower will be scared to get caught. And calling the cops will take a lot of time minimum 5 mins for the cops to arrive and *usually* the cops will ask the person to describe the follower so that will take around 2 mins but the follower will notice that the person being followed is on the phone and turning back to describe the follower and will obviously notice they called the cops. So minimum 7 minutes will be taken for the cops to reach that place and in that 7 minutes MANY things can happen.
Plot twist: The person who you asked for help is actually one of his accomplice.
Oops😱😂

Facts
Inconspicuous Jane AHHHHH
OH NO
I really enjoyed this video it's nice to know someone in the internet is looking out for us
When being followed in the street make sure you have a phone with you, make sure you called someone when your near any shop but if they are waiting for you raise your suspicions
One time, when I was about 14, I was walking down the street & out of no where a car pulls over and the lady in the car tells me the man behind me is following me. I asked her what man, bc I didn't see anyone. And she pointed across the street, down a little. He acted like a very old man who couldn't hardly walk, he had a cane, he walked with a limp, like he needed the cane. He seemed harmless. So I said "ok, thx" & she drove off behind me. When I looked back behind me to see her drive away a second or two after she left, she disappeared & it's a long straight road, so I Def should've seen her drive down the street (I honestly think she was an Angel, bc she was glowing when I tlked to her & she was very very beautiful, and any person just driving down the street would never have known he was following me). But I didn't see her, so then I looked back at the man behind me but still across the street. I was only about 15 feet from where I lived. So I walked passed my place and kept walking. I stopped at the stop light up the street & wanted to see what he'd do. He stopped when I stopped. I yelled across the street "what r u waiting for??? Just go ahead and go... Don't follow me... Leave me alone !!" if he wouldn't have listened, then I would've threatened to call the cops on him at someone's house right there. But he did listen and he kept walking. And after that he walked normal... Just fine, without the cane & without the limp. Like he was faking it before. Once he was out of sight, I went bk home, and actually
R A N home !!! I do wonder what would've happened if that lady never would've told me he was following me, bc I never even saw him & if I did, I wouldn't have thought he was dangerous at all !!! I guess usually they DON'T LOOK DANGEROUS, that's what makes them so dangerous !!!
Jennifer Michener woaahhh what cool experience ! But I’m curious to know about the woman you said told you and disappeared ..
Owowww very scary

when I was like 8 years old there was this taxi driver that said "hey kid, come with me." And I didnt say anything but just stared at him then I went in the market and hid behind the ATM machines and he actually waited for me to come out, but I hid there for so long and he probably got tired and left, after that I ran to some random strangers and held their hand lol they dont even care if I hold their hand and I ran as fast as I could to our house lol

This actually happened to me a few years back... I noticed a tall man following me while I was picking up a prescription from the pharmacy at my local CVS. I tried to loose him, but kept seeing him appear from nowhere. I thought I had finally lost him and as I was walking fast to the parking lot behind the CVS to get my car, I see him behind me again. I saw there were no cars coming so I ran across the street to walgreens, which back then used to always have a security guard. When I get there he was still behind me and there was no security guard, and the register was empty, no cashier by the door. I looked around and only customers walking around. I turned and screamed at the man real loud "Why the F... are you following me", everyone stopped and looked, he seemed surprised and pretended not to speak English. So I screamed at him again in Spanish, more people were coming to the front of the store to see what was going on. He seemed embarrassed, said he wasn't following me and called me crazy, as he walked into the store... I took advantage of everyone paying attention and ran to my car, got in locked the doors and left. I was so scared and tense that I ended up getting a stiff neck, and crying. Looking back, the thing I regret is not staying long enough to report him to the police.

@TH 5 i was 15 at the time living in the pink houses. I wasn't really scared though because I knew how to throw hands if he came at me.
