AIBU to be scared of doing a key job alone at 8pm at night?

[Cheekychops84]

Find it really creepy and I imagine someone waiting in the Campari to get me .

[Cheekychops84]

Carpark typos sorry

[scurryfunge]

Campari?

[scurryfunge]

Ah, ok!

[TheCatSofa]

I don't know what you do but at my work we have a lone working policy - maybe check and see if your work has one and if not implement one!

[Cheekychops84]

I get scared and got no one to come with me

[GotMyGoat]

no, yanbu. Dark+being alone=scary.

have your work have done a risk assessment for this?

[Cheekychops84]

I dont think so it's just cleaning

[scurryfunge]

Is it a well lit car park? It's not that late. I do lots of lone stuff in the dark at work but people tend to know where I am. What worries you specifically?

[FutTheShuckUp]

Sorry but at finding someone in the Campari!!!

[Cheekychops84]

Not too bad jus get scared that someone is hiding ready to pounce lol

[Cheekychops84]

Lol iPhone 5 u wud think it would be better with the typos!

[scurryfunge]

Can you ask that someone checks your welfare at regular intervals?

[GoSakuramachi]

Why would you be scared? Do you otherwise not leave your house alone after dark?

[Sagelyhaunting]

Yanbu to be scared.
I work nights alone and when I have to go out (technical problem, checking on accesses, fetching the paper etc) I am often a bit jittery.

Take a big heavy torch, make sure someone knows where you are, phone in pocket, keys to hand to make you feel safer.

[Cheekychops84]

Well being alone in a building which is totally empty is rather creepy

[Shutupanddrive]

What is the job? Are you in car park the whole time or is that just on the way in/out?

[GoSakuramachi]

Why? I'm alone in my house, its not creepy.

[OHforDUCKScake]

How is being alone in your home comparible to being on your own in a car park?

Where are you most likely to get mugged?

No locked doors to get behind in a car park.

What a daft and patronising comparison.

OP YANBU.

[GhostofMammaTJ]

I work alone all night in a creepy building. I look after elderly people with mental health problems. It is an old building so there are lots of spooky noises, also occasionally one of the oldies will get up and wander around.

I often get scared but I do know that the building is secure.

Going out to a dark campari car park would frighten me, and I do not think that is unreasonable.

[GoSakuramachi]

Are you likely to get mugged inside a building where you are alone?

It's not a daft and patronising comparison, you just didn't understand it. OP said being alone in a building was creepy. I'm alone in a building, saying its not creepy. Have you got that now?

[OHforDUCKScake]

Car park. Your warm secure home.

No comparison. You got that now?

[GoSakuramachi]

Oh dear lord, its painful. Look again.

Not car park. in a building. Comparison to another building Had moved on from car park.

I'm not sure I can use any smaller words for you.

[StaceymReadyForNumber3]

YANBU and no I don't go out alone after dark. I have ishooos!

[Flojo1979]

Ummm is it time to put kettle on? Tea or coffee?

[Tabliope]

GoSakuramachi - there is no comparison even with the buildings! Your home presumably is only accessed by you and family so essentially secure. A building of work can be accessed by numerous people that you don't know so I'm not surprised OP feeling unnerved.
