So she had daughter who was 18 and we joked that her daughter probably looks like she's 12 (given her mom is youthful). I should point out both of them were in a class I was teaching. So I made the joke that her daughter was way too young for a car since she was only 12 and creeper dude just stared and said "your daughter is 12? I think she'd like me, kids love me" and there was no smile, no joke, nothing. Just like a complete fucking creepy stare. That was strike 2. Strike 3 was "do you leave early to collect your daughter? I can understand, what school is she in".
