Was at Kings Park yesterday (around 6:45 pm at Botanical Cafe) with my baby, husband and friends and noticed a guy, probably mid 40s or older, sitting opposite me. His body wasn’t even facing my direction, but his phone was very obviously pointed straight at me and my baby. Like, not a normal way someone would be holding their phone.
I noticed it for a while and eventually told my friends, loud enough for him to hear, that I felt like he was videoing me. I didn’t actually confront him.
He then slowly put his phone down on the bench, kind of side eyed us without directly looking at us, and shortly after got up and left. The whole thing felt a bit off, almost like he was trying to hide what he was doing.
Maybe I’m overthinking it, but it felt really creepy and deliberate. Has anyone else experienced something similar around Kings Park?
Honestly, I feel pretty disturbed by it. I really want to believe he wasn’t actually videoing me, but I don’t know. I don’t even know what I should have done in that situation. Just posting here because I needed to rant and maybe hear what others think.
