I'm sure if some drunk bloke got on a train late at night and proceeded to spend his journey staring at a loved one, who phoned you up to meet her off the train because she had a bad feeling about this guy, you wouldn't tell say to her "he was only staring at you, chill out", you'd get your arse down to the station quick smart, as most of us would.
