creepy boss guy following me around
My boss is more then 50yrs old and lives with his parents. He does not have a lot of social skills. I have caught him following me around the office and looking at what I am doing, like what mail I put in the outbox or who am I talking with or where I am going in general. His behavior is creepying me out. I can do my job without even talking or speaking with him for weeks and have tried to stay out of his way to see what would happen and it seems this makes his behavior worsen. I find it creepy to come out of the women's restroom to find him leaning against the wall near the men's waiting for me. He then joins me and walks back with me into the office. He watches my emails through the network server (only mine as he moved my and his email to a separate server from everyone else) and watches the websites I go onto and programs I access.
What is the best way to handle this guy? If I tell him to back off, he tells me I am paranoid. And yet this continues.

He's your boss, and has every right to oversee your work. But not walk you back from the restroom. You need to write him a letter, or email, addressing your concerns. If this doesn't work, go over his head. It's one thing to oversee you work habits but quite another if he's creeping you out. Follow the proper steps to get this resolved, and let him know that the distraction of his presence is affecting your job performance and ability to concentrate. The reason I say to address him in writing is because you don't want to get into a he said she said sort of game with this person. You need proof that you have sought resolution in the appropriate way.

You have two choices here as your boss is committing two forms of EEOC violations. The first is he creating a hazardous work environment for you as he has you fearing for your safety by following you around and stalking you. Second; he is sexually harassing you by stalking you.
Your choices are to go to his supervisor or the company HR department and report him. You could skip the first and go directly to the state EEOC agency and file a complaint. If your boss is the owner or someone well up in the company chain of command then my suggestion would be to go directly to the EEOC as they would offer you better job protection once you file a complaint.

You need to report this defiantly. Though know you might be risking your job depending what hierarchy scale there is at your office. But nothing should compromise your health and safety.

This is most definately a form of harassment and you need to tell somebody about it and bring it to attention to somebody who can help. Possibly report it to the police because he's following your every move and he could be stalking you so I think it would be best to report him to the police because this is unacceptable behaviour. Contact somebody who can help and immediately. Hope this helps!!xx
