This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And, illegal if you can make the argument that OP knew or should have known their behavior would be unwelcome.
Name the law.
Depends on jurisdiction, but in a fair number it would be "menacing".
That's Delaware's, but different states do it differently, and some out that classification under stalking.
Following someone around intentionally and knowingly causing them fear of injury is illegal. Why on earth would you even for a moment think you're allowed to do that? It's like thinking guns are legal so you can point your gun at someone on the street.
I can't think of a time before this I've seen the word 'meanacing' used as a verb and not an adjective.
It probably comes from the French verb "menacer" which means "to threaten".
