193: Jami was followed home

What Was That Like - a storytelling podcast with amazing stories from real people

Over the years, I’ve come to realize – the way I navigate the world day to day, as a man, is very different from what a woman has to think about.

I mean, when I go out somewhere, like to the grocery store, or the bank, or whatever, the thought that someone might be secretly watching me never even enters my mind. If I happen to have an encounter with someone I don’t know, I don’t immediately get suspicious. In fact, I often actually look forward to having a meaningful conversation with a stranger.

But for women, it’s very different. If a man holds a door open for you, and you smile at him, that guy could suddenly think you could be his new girlfriend. Or, it might not even be an actual encounter – someone could be watching you and even following you without you even knowing it.

When Jami was 18 years old, she had an encounter like that. But this incident ended up with the creepy man inside her house.

This is a Flashback episode. Jami told this story on the podcast more than four years ago. So after you hear it today, we’ll have a brief update chat to see what she’s up to now. And we’ll find out that the most recent excitement in her life has nothing to do with podcasting or true crime.
