Man on school run

I see a man every morning on the school run and he stares at me. Like a really intense look and what I can only describe as an ‘evil’ sort of angry glare look on his face. I’ve no idea why. Never spoke to him, never had any issue. He doesn’t know me or anyone I know on the school run. His children are in a different year group to mine so there is no issues there. I just always see him every morning. The first few times he did it I just smiled but now I keep trying to avoid eye contact when I go past him but I can tell he’s still doing it as I feel his eyes on me as I go past. I did think I was being paranoid but I’m definitely not. the last couple of days he’s also walked past my car when I’ve been parked and I’ve been sat in it minding my own business. I’ve looked out my windscreen and then as he’s passed my window I’ve felt his eyes on me so looked and he’s staring at me like that whilst looking into my car window at me as he passes. I’m starting to feel quite annoyed and intimidated by this. What would you do?

Definitely not parked over any drives or yellow lines or anything like that. That’s definitely an issue round here too but I never have done that personally. He only seems to do this glare at me I’ve noticed. He will do it as soon as he spots me

That was my first thought are you parked like a dick? If you've parked on the zigzags, on the pavement (particularly as we're walking along it) in the turning circle, or as is the new fashion at our school just parked in the middle of the road you will find me glaring at you.

Is there anywhere else that you can park so you don't come across him? I know you shouldn't have to.

Is it his resting bitch face?

Just what I was going to say !

No parking issue. I always park further away so I can park considerably

Ignore him. You probably look like an ex of his or something like that.

Do you park thoughtlessly? We have parents at our school who often park on double yellows, over dropped curbs etc. Do you ever do this?

Ha ha I would definitely give the daggers for this!!

Btw this has been going on since the first day in September as my DC is in reception. The first ever time I saw him he gave me this look and I’d never seen him before

I wouldn't 'do' anything.

Looking at you in a way you don't like is not a crime. I suspect he's just awkward or not particularly self-aware. You're being a bit paranoid.

I'd have to address it "morning - I've noticed you always seem to catch my eye every morning, is there a reason for that? It's just I'm wondering if you've mistaken me for someone or if I've inadvertently done something to annoy you?"
