[Serious] What's your worst experience with a coworker?

She was friendly, we'd chat a bit at work and after work drinks etc, and then she invited me out one night for a few drinks. I thought it was a big group of us but it was just her.

Didn't want to be rude. So we hang out for a bit and she tried to kiss me, I told her I was seeing someone else (lie) and really interested in the other girl, she looked a bit miffed but otherwise fine. So we said our goodbyes and I thought everything was fine. It wasn't

She would text me all day at work (I'd reply to none of it) and when she got a free chance with no one around she would come and ask me why I hadn't replied. I'd tell her I was doing work and then she would call me an asshole or whatever. She would then email me at work as well asking me to come out for a drink or whatever, it was always very civilised on work email, then text me abuse. She said she would tell my boss I had tried to molest her at work if I wouldn't agree to meeting her out. I called her bluff most times but then it kept going.

I met her out once and told her she has to stop, to leave me alone. I literally walked in and said enough is enough. I wasn't hanging around. She told me she was in love with me and how could she stop. I told her I didn't feel that way and leave me alone. I left. She would then either send me the type of abuse you hear on Xbox live or would start sending me nudes of her.

Then when that didn't get a reaction she started sending me photos of dudes having sex with her. Asking me if it made me jealous. One of my mates FB checked us in to a pub and she showed up there. Same thing with a movie we were seeing. I had made my setting to private so no idea how she saw it, I think one of her friends knew my mate or something, no idea. I also lived on the other side of London so this was a hike for her. It wasn't just a coincidence. She also tried to following me home one night. I caught her on the tube half a carriage away in a wooly hat and glasses. I got off at the wrong station and then watched as she got off. I waited for the next tube and got back on, so did she. As the doors were closing I jumped off again and ran.

Meanwhile I'd been having chats with our HR about this and they weren't doing anything. Police were he same. It'd been going on for two months. I changed my number twice but we had to put it into a database at work for when we were out on site and she got into that and it would start all over again. She would pretend to be someone I had met on the weekend and don't remember but the facade would soon disappear.

Eventually she just turned on me. She told people at work I had tried to have sex with her and she rejected me, she showed them fake texts from me, stuff like that. They told HR about it as it was obviously fake and HR still did nothing. Oh did I forget to mention her mother was one of our big managers? I think she kept everything under wraps.

I had been hunting for jobs about two weeks after this all started. I finally got one and got the fuck out of there. I had told my team leader and he didn't tell anyone. I didn't have a leaving drinks or anything, just walked out, got a new number and never looked back. I still feel like she's going to show up one day out of the blue. I live back in New Zealand now tho
