Sunny, your story sounds so much like the opening scene in the Elmore Leonard story I'm reading now...The Bounty Hunters. Almost...similar anyway. Fifty plus years of living I've run across a few...went nuts a few times, too. Okay more than a few times. Nothing that really stands out...other than this once my wife & I were headed to the airport, in the car anyway, driving through Laurium...stop at the yellow blinking light by 41 Lumber...no traffic coming the other way, but there was guy across the intersection crossing where we would pass. I wait a bit, giving him time to get across...he's just past the halfway mark when I begin to move forward. He stops. Turns. I'm thinking what is he doing? He tries to drop-kick the driver's door...probably part spaniel. Or drunk.
Maybe we all have a little nut magnet in us.

I just remembered this guy who came in the salon back in the 90s. He only came in on the evenings I worked. The first time he comes in, he asked about haircut prices, but didn't have the money for a haircut. We were slow, so my friend, Mary and I chatted with him for a few minutes.
That was a mistake. Every Thursday evening for almost a year the guy came in and expected us to just talk with him, whether we were busy or not. He would also just sit on the bench outside the salon window and look at me for hours....it was kinda creepy, and mall security escorted him out several times.
Turns out that he had read an article about my great grandfather in the paper, and became fixated on me for that reason. My great grandfather was a pretty big deal in this area, but that's another story.
One afternoon when I was coming in for work, the guy is waiting for me at the door. He grabs my arm, and asks me if I'm holding hands with anyone steady, and if not would I have dinner with him. I must have looked panicked, because my manager came out and said that I had a client waiting.
They banned the guy from the mall after that.

Your must exude your power cybernetically if my hanging about you is any indication.
