Should I be concerned about this man?

I picked up my kids from nursery today. I parked in my usual spot. There was a man sitting inside a car outside the nursery. He scrolled his window down. I thought he was about to complain about my parking (I am not the best parker in the world).

He shouted quite aggressively:"Would you mind stopping looking at me when I'm parked here". I then said something to him, which I can't remember (I was kind of shocked, as I wasn't looking at this guy at all). He then either said :"I think you're here to pick up a baby" or "I am here to pick up a baby".

I mentioned it to a nursery worker and she said it is a neighbour of one of the kids in the nursery, who sometimes picks the child up.

I am quite nervous picking up the kids tomorrow in case he is there again and has a go at me.

Should I be concerned about this man or am I overreacting?

Just ignore him. He's nothing to you.

He sounds rather rude but no - I wouldn’t be concerned

if you were the man
and he was the woman in this scenario

The response would be…. Good on you for confronting someone making you feel uncomfortable with his staring

But I wasn't staring at him. I parked my car, hopped out of the car and walked towards the nursery door.

Maybe I inadvertently looked at him when I was parking to make sure I didn't hit his car? I can't remember. Do I have to look at the ground in order not to cause any offense? I look at so many people every day for a few seconds, often without being aware of it. I think it's quite normal.

He sounds like an odd bod

don’t give it another thought 🤷‍♀️

His neighbour obviously trusts him to pick up their toddler!
