Have you ever had that moment in a shop when you're just browsing mindlessly and a shop assistant quietly comes straight up behind you and asks if they can help with anything?

'No, I'm just looking, thanks', you say, clutching your chest before darting off in the other direction.

Five minutes later, another assistant comes over – quiet as a ninja – and asks if you need anything.

'Seriously, pal, I'm just looking. Leave me alone,' you want to shout before walking out of the shop.

Well, a similar situation happened to Hillary Clinton last night during the second Presidential debate. But instead of a shop assistant, the lurker breathing down her neck was none other than her opponent, Donald Trump.

Dude, back off.

In what appeared to be one of the most aggressive encounters between Clinton and her rival, the Republican candidate seemed to have channelled his anger by following Clinton around the stage like a kid brother playing a game of Follow The Leader.

But if old Trumpy thought he was being subtle, he failed badly as viewers were quick to point out his creepy antics.

For the next debate, we suggest Clinton buys a fly swatter.

Back off, Trump.
