Crazy people update!

So I finally decided to do the three loads of laundry I had been avoiding. I live in an apt where the laundry machines are in the basement. Anyways, after going up and down for a while I was doing well as all machines were empty and not a soul in the basement area. Just as I was coming down the elevator to pick up the last load and this older gentleman who works in the building goes' bhow bow bharggghhhh' as soon as the elevator for opens. I start screaming as I think some animal or crazy dog is going to attack me. My breath goes heavy, I can feel my uterus tighten and I'm in a state of shock. In about min or so I realize it's this old man who works for the super on occasion. He is laughing at my state and I just don't know what to say. He then has the audacity to tell me, 'oh I saw you do laundry and I was just trying to scare you- haha ha' - WTF- firstly, why would you go that? Trust me if I was not pregnant I could have possibly attacked him and two I AM FREAKN pregnant!! Who does that??? It took me at least 20 mins to get my heart rate to normal and I was so worried I will go into labor or something as my whole body was shaking.
I don't know if he finally realized I am pregnant or what but guy just walked away carrying on with whatever he was doing in the basement after making that joke. I go back to the apt and my H sees me sweating so he asks if I am ok. I narrate to him what happened- he of course is fuming mad and wants to go immediately to teach him a lesson. I panick as I don't want him beating up a 60- 70 yr old man so I calm him and tell him if he went down now I'll get more sick. He gets me a glass of water and we wait till both him and I are calm and my heart rate is normal and the tightening in my belly seems gone.
Anyways, he is going to talk to the super first thing tomorrow. I feel bad as the guy is old and maybe just maybe he did not know I was pregnant. He is known to joke around with people in the building and has worked here for last 20 yrs. I know if there is a complaint they will probably take strict action. I just want to calm DH down now and tell him to let it go. But seriously, the lump is my chest is still there. I cannot be sure as it is new to me. I just had to share as I thought regardless of me being pregnant, who tried to scare people like that for fun!

That being said, if i had been alone and it had been someone I didn't know well, I certainly wouldn't have stopped DH from confronting him. But, knowing my DH, he wouldn't. I would, though.
