    Default Walking home alone after work and followed

    So on dead nights where I don’t fancy paying for taxis I hang around for a few hours in a coffee dock or go to the gym till around 7Am then get first bus home. Some nights one or two of my dancer friends join me and sometimes it’s just me but we all walk. I walk the streets without a bother only recently I’m getting freaked out because me and my friend after work was followed by a man in a car and when we jumped into a taxi he proceeded to follow the taxi and knew the direction we were heading. We haven’t seen him since but one of the girls in the club was missing for over 2 weeks we thought she left she walks in with multiple bruises saying she was in the icu because she was attacked by 3 men after work 😱😱 my gym is a short distance from the club around 6 7 Mins walk and there’s no one I can get to collect me I’m basically in my own for 2 to 3 hours after work. I’m freaking out worried it’s what I like to do sometimes just head to the gym at 4am then head for the bus home now im terrified of something bad happening. And I’m saving everything I earn so taxis for me are very expensive. What should i do? I’ve never ever heard of any of this shit happen to other dancers

    Damn, I'd be really careful, there's a lot of rapes, robberies happening all over.
    You don't know who's watching and/or keeping tabs.
    Can you take an Uber?
    They sent me a discount pass, paid 14.00 for a month, now each ride in my area I get 25% off of.
    Your life & safety are not to be taken lightly, I get saving $ but this could be serious
    Good luck

    Your safety is much more important, I would not risk it especially with the other incidents that have happened, use uber or if there are any other girls who use cabs share and save money or if you have a girl you get along with offer money for a ride home, most clubs I worked girls would always use the same drivers and we would share, the drivers gave us a deal because we used them every week.

    Listen to these other ladies. Safety> money. Can't worry about money if you're dead or locked up in some creeper's basement!

    Is there uber or lyft where you live? You can even carpool in an uber with other dancers. I've ordered an uber before and had 4 other dancers with me. Uber didn't have a problem with it. If not then can you share a taxi? It's dangerous out there for women to be walking outside anywhere at night.

    Uber or use one of the new saftey apps. There are apps you can use that will alarm others or law enforcement when you're in a situation. Watch Over Me is pretty popular and will turn your camera on, activate an alarm and call the police if you shake your phone. Check this article with a list of apps in the link below..there are a few I haven't heard of that are really smart ideas.

    I agree with the others, you really need to put safety first and get cabs or ubers. Is there another dancer who could give you rides? I used to drive home even a girl I hated to make sure she stayed ok. I can't imagine working somewhere that would let a girl leave by herself on foot.

    Omg do NOT walk home alone after work, especially at night! Can you carpool with another dancer, and offer her a little gas money?

    Just wanted to add, I remember reading about a dancer who worked in a small club, during an day/afternoon shift.
    She was last seen talking to a regular outside, & waiting for a ride.
    She was never seen again, ever.

    Also: there was a group of guys (in the 90's) that were into black arts, they'd kidnap women off the streets, gang rape & torture them.
    They're in prison now, but they were out there doing this awhile before getting caught

    Honestly, I know it might not appear to be "worth it" financially on slow nights, but always pay for transportation. You should never, ever walk under any circumstances and your coworker is lucky that she lived to tell the tale. Do they have Uber/Lyft in Ireland? I've taken Lyft to and from work many of times without an issue and it's much cheaper than taxis. Maybe you can ask another girl to drive you home and give her $20 gas money. I've given girls rides home before. I've also worked in clubs that had designated drivers who were known/trusted by the club and a bunch of girls would ride with him at the end of the night. Like the others have said, your life is more important than the added expense and now you know, it's not a paranoid irrational fear, it's a valid concern.

    I wouldn't go to the gym right after either, because someone can be following from afar and then they know your whereabouts. Ask your drivers to take different routes home every night and pay attention to the cars around you.
