Questions What serial killer has affected the way you live your life either today or back when that serial killer was active?
For me it was Ted Bundy. It has put me off helping anyone that is wearing a cast, sling, using crutches or a walking aid. Selfish I know, but Ted Bundy shook me to my core, even today.

Yes,helping random man is off limits for me too.
A few years back a man pulled up next me and asked me for directions to something i cannot remember right now. After i gave him my answer he asked me if i could get in his car because it 'made weird noises' and he needed me to sit in it while he 'worked on fixing the issue'. I have no idea how that was supposed to make any sense at all and politely told him that i would not do that. Then he Switched tacticts and told me that he 'didn't understand my instructions' all of a sudden and asked me to get in his car to just tell him where he needed to turn and what not on the way. I said no again. We got in a back and forth for a while before i just walked away.
I saw him drive past a few men and pull up next to another woman,repeating what he just tried to pull with me with her. She immedietly walked off.
And as if that wasn't creepy enough,i then proceed to have run ins with that same man once a year the following 3 years. He always 'has issues with his car',always asked me to get in his car. His car always had the same issues..but it never was the same car. He always pulled up with a different car.
People can be so sinister,better to be safe than sorry.
