Welcome back to Internet Frenzy. How the hell
are you? I'm doing really good. How the hell
are you? Better than ever. Perfect. Love that.
Love to hear it, Joe. Better than ever. Coming
at you. This episode's gonna be fun, but before
we get into it, we gotta recap last week's episode.
Yeah, baby. A quickie. We've got OP that went
on vacation, fell in love with this guy who ends
up being her best friend's therapist. Tough?
Tough. Was that the fake? No. Might be. Next
we have the therapist that sent through the email.
Remember this? Yes. Crazy. Yeah. Bad deal. Wonder
if that was fake. Maybe. Then there's a therapist
asking for tips. Was that the fake? No. Was it
the story about the couple getting kicked out
of therapy by the old therapist because she wouldn't
take accountability? No, that one sounds pretty
realistic. That one sounds like it could absolutely
happen any day of the week. Yeah, it's not happened
to us, but that does sound like it would happen.
So which one was the fake are you gonna enlighten
us because it wasn't mine Well, it was mine the
fake story of last week's episode therapy is
scarapy Was my story and it was the one where
the therapist accidentally sends the email out
and I was I'm so relieved Yeah, I feel like everyone's
got to be very relieved because I think by far
that one was like the most like that is damaging
your entire life at that point. To ruin a kid's
whole life. Good job on that one. Thank you.
Thank you, everyone. Very nice work. So if I
got you, joke's on you. If I didn't, joke's on
me. That's right. Yeah. That's right. I don't
think that's right. I don't know. But listen,
this week's episode is going to be crazy. I'm
so excited for this week's episode. But first,
before we get started, for those that are new,
I'm Whitney. And I'm Joe. This is Internet Frenzy.
Each week, one of the four stories is a fake
story generated by Chad GBT and our creative
little brains. That's right. Yes, we changed
it up a little bit. Each week, our listeners
will listen to all the stories and then they
guess which one's the fake. So go to our social
media and you'll be able to comment and let us
know which story you think is the fake. And then.
The next week's episode, we always air in the
beginning of the episode, which one was the fake
of last week's episode. Stay tuned, stick along,
ride along with us. Stick along, ride along with
us. Hop on my back and get down to Canter Town.
Get down to Canter Town. That's good. It's a
good little, it's a good refresher. Yes. It's
the old two truths and a lie. Boom. but we're
using Chad's EPT. So find out which one's the
fake, see if you can sniff it out, and then let
us know on the socials. And you can listen wherever
you get your podcasts, or you can watch on YouTube,
or you can just view the stories on social media,
whatever you like to do. Yeah, we're gonna get
right into this week's episode. this week it
is called stock market crash but not stock like
you think these are gonna be stories about crazy
stuff stocking yeah that that kind of stuff so
trigger warning if you have a stalker if you
think you have a stalker don't listen you're
not ready for this this is a this is a little
bit of a lengthy one Buckle the frick up. I feel
like you're going to be able to relate on a hundred
levels. Oh, I love that buckled. This post comes
from, am I overreacting? A .I .O. I feel like
a dad at the daycare I work for is hitting on
me. Should I tell you how many updates there
are to this right now? Or should I just? Yeah.
Five. I literally thought you were going to say
13. So five is great. Let's do this. OK, five.
Oh, that scared me. I work at a daycare and I've
noticed that one of the children's parents always
makes inappropriate comments to me. At first
I thought he was just one of those people who's
always complimenting others or that he just wanted
to have a friendly relationship with his kids'
educators, but now I think it's more than that.
During my first weeks there, I was always assigned
to his younger daughter's group. the babies,
so I would see him often. At first it was brief
friendly talk but it really escalated when I
started working with the older kids, the four
year olds. His other daughter, let's call her
Emmy, and I clicked right away when we found
out we're birthday twins. She always wants me
to play with her and asks for hugs literally
every two minutes. Whenever her dad comes to
pick up his kids she always makes sure to give
me a big hug and tells her dad that we're best
friends. Last month, Emmy's dad and I ran into
each other at the grocery store and started small
talk. We were mostly talking about Emmy, and
he just kept saying how much she loves me and
that she wants me to come over to their house.
And I said something like, Oh, she's so cute.
I love spending time with her, too. And tried
to end the conversation, but he just kept talking.
I noticed him looking at my chest a couple of
times, which was one of the reasons I wanted
to leave. He then offered me a ride. And although
I initially declined, he kept pushing it. So
I accepted. I didn't let him see my house. I
told him to drop me off downtown. My gosh since
then I keep running into him but to the point
where I don't think it's a coincidence He doesn't
live in the same neighborhood as me. I live near
downtown In fact when he dropped me off the first
time he kept going on and on about how you could
never live somewhere as far away as I do So why
do I keep seeing him in our conversations? He
always makes sure to compliment my physical appearance
or mention my age and how young and smart I am
It obviously makes me uncomfortable, but for
the sake of his daughters, especially Emmy, I
don't really say anything. I've tried to set
some boundaries, but it's really uncomfortable.
I jokingly said once, well, if I were your age,
I don't think I'd date someone as young as me.
And he was like, well, good thing I would. And
he laughed. Oh, yeah, there it is. I casually
mentioned this in a conversation with one of
my colleagues and she said something like, oh,
he's a flirt. That's what he does. She kept talking
about how handsome he is. He is handsome, but
also a married dad of two. I asked if there's
anything we could do if hypothetically a parent
is being too friendly slash flirty with us. And
she basically said no. Anyway, it's gotten hot
outside, so I started wearing sundresses, shorts
and crop tops. And he always compliments my outfits
when he sees me and says he likes seeing my belly
button piercing out. Ew. Also, Emmy has told
me that her dad said I'll be their nanny for
the weekends when the daycare is closed. I don't
know if he actually said that because she's four
but I don't even want to ask because I don't
want to give him any ideas if he didn't actually
say it. He's tried multiple times to give me
his phone number to call him if there's anything
and I always gently remind him that we can communicate
through the daycare app. He always says that
he would rather call me directly than through
the app. He was being super pushy and I felt
a little trapped so I gave him my phone number.
He texts me all the time asking what I'm doing,
etc. I have FaceTimed his daughters a couple
of times but it just feels wrong. I briefly talked
about this to a friend and she said that she
would have told his wife. I don't even think
I have the guts to do that. Ever since my friend
told me that, I started casually bringing up
his wife in conversations. He would always change
the subject or say she's not here. Anyway, all
this is to ask, what should I do? Am I imagining
things? I feel trapped. I can't lose my job.
I'm scared that it'll take me forever to find
another one. Also, the kids love me and I love
them. I've really gotten attached to them. I
love Emmy too, and I mostly feel bad for her.
What would you do in this situation? I've asked,
and you can't ban a family from attending a daycare,
so that option is out the window. Also, we can't
be on our phones 24 -7, so it's extremely hard
to get evidence. Anything helps, thank you. I
don't know if I'm posting this on the right subs,
if not, sorry about that. The husband's 100 %
in the wrong. Like, what a creep. What the frick
is he doing? This girl, one, should have never
given him the phone number, especially after
all these signs leading up to it. And she still
did that, like that. pissed me off. That's yeah.
Like, honey, don't do that. Don't do that. He
is married and he has and you know his intentions.
Don't give him the frickin number. So that really
bothers me because there is something in there
where like she was that's not just like being
stupid. That's like there could have been possibly
she likes the attention. I mean, you can't you
can't rule it out. But also it's hot. Let her
wear what she wants. No, I'm not saying she's
wearing what she's wearing to get his attention
specifically. I'm saying Her giving him his number
is showing that like she low -key There's got
to be something in there where she's kind of
like, oh, let's see where this goes Potentially
it obviously her post makes it sound like she's
just appalled by this guy and creeped out and
like I think he might be stalking me but You're
gonna give him his number after seeing all of
these signs and then hearing he's good -looking
and all the daycare girls are like, oh like he
fights with everyone but like dang girl like
Nice work. Like he really likes you. I don't
know. I'm a little bugged by her, but I also
know he is the main villain in this story. So
I need to like shift my focus on that. Do we
think he's actually stalking her? But wait, there's
more. Oh, okay. I'm ready. I'm scared. Okay.
So that's, that's my first reaction to hearing
just this side of the story. So let's see if
I'm right. Which is fair. It seems like she's
a little bit, walls are down. Yeah. Like what
are you doing? Yeah. Okay, I'm ready. So here's
a couple edits. The first edit is, I've never
seen his wife. He's the one who does everything.
Emmy has mentioned her a few times. Says things
like, mommy got me this shirt or something like
that. But I don't even know what she looks like.
He doesn't talk about her unless I bring her
up. Edit two, about the crop tops. We are allowed
to wear them at work with long pants. Same thing
with shorts. We can wear them with a non -cropped
shirt. 90 % of his comments about my piercing
were outside of work when I would run into him.
Also, I blocked him. I don't know if he noticed,
but he's blocked. Okay. Headed number three.
A lot of people are asking me why slash what
I am scared of. I don't have an exact answer.
I've had a lot of traumatizing experiences with
men and I don't feel comfortable around any man
in general. I don't have any guy friends. It's
like I think of all the things they could do
to me if they wanted to then I get scared slash
uncomfortable. I know I have a fond trauma response
and I'm working on it. I really am. Also, I have
work on Friday or Wednesday maybe and I will
talk to my supervisors and update. That's really
sad. So... I'm just gonna invite the listeners.
There's a lot of context, there's a lot of comments
throughout each of the updates. And it is a rabbit
hole. So you can go and spend as much time as
you want researching this. It's in, am I overreacting?
I feel like a dad at the daycare I work at is
hitting on me. The post went absolutely bonkers.
So, you'll be able to find it. Update number
two. The first update. Hello, everyone. I want
to thank everyone who gave me advice. I tried
to read every comment. Before I give you an update,
I need to clarify a few things. I don't work
at a school. It's private, family -owned daycare.
I have three managers, two women and one man.
They became the new owners in January. I primarily
interact with one of the female managers. I've
tried to discuss the situation with her, but
it's never the right time. For example, I'd knock
on her office door and say I needed to talk about
Emmy's dad. She'd say she's busy and ask me to
come back later. When I did, she'd apologize
and ask to talk the next day. She also suggested
texting, but I didn't feel comfortable telling
her everything through text. Two, some suggested
having another teacher watch my group when he
arrives, but that's not possible. In the afternoon,
after nap time, we take the kids outside until
their parents pick them up. All educators need
to stay outside to supervise. When parents arrive,
I discuss their child's day and hand over their
keychain. It's difficult because he always approaches
me when I'm distracted, so I can't warn a coworker.
Number three rides. The first time I saw him
outside of work was at the grocery store. He
recognized me. We chatted briefly and he offered
me a ride. I declined but he insisted saying
it was ungentlemanly to let me carry groceries
alone. He paid for my groceries and drove me
home despite my discomfort. I sat in the back
seat but still. I shouldn't have said yes, I
was just so weirded out by the entire situation.
The second time was at a gas station. After hanging
out with a friend in his neighborhood, I stopped
there for a drink. He saw me and again offered
a ride. He was pushy so I reluctantly agreed.
That was the last time I accepted a ride from
him. 4. Clothing Most of his comments about my
piercing happened outside of work. I don't wear
revealing clothes to work. I mostly wear sweats.
Occasionally, I wear a long sleeve crop top with
sweatpants, which my managers don't mind. We're
allowed to wear mom shorts, but again, I most
of the time wear sweats. FaceTime. I FaceTimed
his daughters three times and each call lasted
less than five minutes. I realize now that this
was inappropriate, but yes, it happened. Six
texting I don't always respond to his texts if
he texts ten times I might reply three times
The thing is he often asks in person why I don't
respond telling me he had something important
to say He'd sometimes say that in front of Emmy
and say you see that Emmy. She's not nice to
daddy She doesn't want to talk to me frickin
loser literally. I'm like sick to my stomach.
I've cried twice Listening and I yeah, I'm very
emotional right now Keep going. Yeah, hold my
hand. Yeah, this makes me so sad Seven I live
in Canada some suggested carrying pepper spray
for protection, but it's illegal here. So that's
not an option eight I don't know his exact age,
but I guess late 30s to mid 40s. I've never seen
his wife Some suggested they may be separated
maybe Emmy has mentioned her mom before but she
seems closer to her dad 9. The dating comment.
I had zero idea my comment could be seen as flirting.
I thought I was indirectly turning him down.
When the topic of dating came up, I said I didn't
want a relationship. He joked that we'd get along
great and I responded by saying, don't you think
you're a little too old for me? And he said jokingly,
oh man, don't say that. You're very mature. That's
when I said that I wouldn't date someone my age
if I were his age. Men are pigs, and I'm so disgusted.
This guy is a pig. I'm so grossed out. Blast
this guy. Okay, so here's the update. That was
just a preface to the update. I was only scheduled
on Friday this week, but ended up working today
too. I texted my manager saying that I have something
very important to tell her about a parent and
that I'm afraid my safety could be compromised.
She asked me to come to her office before work
to talk about it. I was very scared because reading
the comments made me realize that I could lose
my job because I gave him my number. But I still
told her everything. Looking back, I missed a
few things, but I told her the most important
things. I told her about how in the beginning
when I was assigned to his two -year -old daughter's
group, he was very friendly and nice to me, but
it escalated when I started caring for Emmy.
I told her about the grocery incident, the gas
station incident, and seeing him near my neighborhood.
She kind of defended him by saying that I live
near downtown, so it's not a miracle to run into
somebody there. I then brought up the fact that
yes, I understand that, but he's told me that
he enjoys staying in his neighborhood and that
I live so far away and he doesn't understand
how I'm able to work at a job so far away. So
it was weird to see him so much. I think it made
her understand more. I told her about the comments
about my appearance. I asked her if it was possible
to get assigned to another group and she said
yes. I told her about me giving him my number
after feeling pressured and she said that I shouldn't
have done that. that it is very dangerous to
give out personal information like that. She
also said that especially with my job, all communication
must be through the app. She said that she was
a little more upset at the dad because he's been
attending that daycare for almost four years
and he knows that parents are not allowed to
do that. I then told her about how he makes Emmy
play with her friends when it's time to go just
to talk to me longer. She said that since I won't
be assigned to Emmy's group, I won't even have
to talk to him at all. She said that she'll take
care of it and let the other girls know to keep
an eye on him. I told her about the FaceTimes
and how he told Emmy that I was mean for not
answering one time and how he made her cry. She
only said that that was out of line. I asked
if it was possible to ban him from attending
and she said maybe. She doesn't have any solid
proof. I showed her some text messages, but she
said that that he was being friendly in the messages
and that there was nothing sexual. She said that
most of this was basically hearsay and she doesn't
have a concrete proof of him being an actual
predator. As for Emmy... We played together on
the playground as usual. I think the hardest
part for me is to slowly distance myself from
her. I did, however, encourage her to play with
her friends, but she would always come back every
five minutes to ask to play with me. When her
dad arrived, he greeted me and asked me about
Emmy's day in her keychain. I said that I did
not take care of her today and pointed to the
girl that did. I then got up to get Emmy. to
tell her to leave he tried to stop me but i just
kept walking i didn't really give him the time
to talk to me when i got emmy i gave her a hug
then stayed on the other side of the playground
and they left i know it's not much but at least
i avoided an interaction with them today i think
that's it i tried to answer everything edit he's
never driven me home i would always ask him to
drop me off downtown so obviously it's escalating
with the debt that's the issue here is it yeah
no matter what she's trying to do he's not slowing
down i'm He's he's obviously a bad dude and spoiler
alert. There's updates and it gets worse So let's
keep it rolling. Oh my gosh. I'm I don't I can't
my motion. I cannot handle this I know this poor
girl. Are you okay? No, but I'm ready. Okay update
to same title Hi, I saw some comments asking
for an update So I wanted to share what happened
because I'm too ashamed to tell someone in real
life I had work from yesterday 8am to 5pm and
then went straight to the gym to workout with
a friend. I got there around 6pm and worked out
until about 8 .30pm. I was walking home, I live
about 10 minutes away from the gym, when I heard
someone behind me. Looking back, I know I shouldn't
have walked home, but I didn't think about it
in the moment. I had music in my ear, so I didn't
know if someone was talking to me or on the phone,
so I just kept walking. I felt the person getting
closer and immediately thought, oh my gosh, what
if it's him? I started walking a little faster.
After a minute or two, the person tapped me on
the shoulder. When I turned around, it was him.
My heart dropped. I immediately froze. I had
practiced what to say if I ever got into this
situation, but of course I had forgotten everything.
He acted like we ran into each other and said,
hey, it's nice seeing you. I said, hi, nice seeing
you, but I have to go. He complimented my hair.
Parentheses, I recently dyed it and said it looked
good on me. I said a quick thank you and tried
to leave. He then grabbed my wrist and said,
I don't like when you act like that. I just froze
up. I couldn't move. He asked why I didn't take
care of Emmy anymore. He said that she constantly
asks about me at home and that I make her cry.
I stuttered and said I didn't know and that I'm
not the one who decides. I said I have to go
now. Sorry. He then asked if I blocked him. I
said I really can't talk right now. He then blurted
out that he saw me working out He was doing all
of this while grabbing my wrist mind you I didn't
know what to say so I repeated that I had to
go He started looking at me up and down in a
disgusting way. He was staring at my boobs while
smiling He then started caressing my arms one
arm stopped at my waist and the other one kept
caressing my arm He would sometimes move it to
my chest and touch me there. What? I don't know
why I didn't just punch him in the face. I just
could not move. Before you ask, I wasn't wearing
anything revealing. I had on a hoodie and sweatpants.
I even removed my belly piercing because I don't
like this type of attention. I eventually quietly
said, can you please stop? He looked at me, smiled,
and then left. I've been getting sexually assaulted
by men since the age of seven. I promised myself
after getting sexually assaulted at 18 by a friend
that I would never let it happen again. Now this.
I don't know why this keeps happening. Most of
the time, I feel like my body isn't even mine,
just for someone else to use whenever they feel
like it, no matter if I want it or not. Maybe
it was my fault because I shouldn't have walked
home knowing I had a stalker. Maybe it's my fault
because I didn't tell him to leave me alone earlier.
Maybe it's my fault because I am 20 years old
and I can't say no. I know he didn't full on
grab my... chest and squeeze them, but I feel
so so violated. I am too ashamed to reveal this
to anyone. I told my boss I was sick to avoid
going to work for a couple days. I went to the
police station, but they said there wasn't anything
they could do legally because he didn't commit
actual crimes and that I didn't really have any
proof. I just feel like they didn't take me seriously.
They gave me tips to be more careful, like don't
walk late at night, change your number, don't
have the same routine, etc. But that's it. They
won't give me a restraining order. I'll be honest,
I didn't understand half of the terminology they
were using, but from what I understood, we're
both adults so the texting and FaceTimes aren't
incriminating enough. I guess I'll just stay
home. I feel so dirty I thought I had everything
under control because I found a way to avoid
him at work, but I guess I was wrong. I genuinely
thought I found a way to make everything stop.
The worst part is I saw some comments saying
that this whole situation could escalate if he
finds out that I'm avoiding him and I didn't
believe them. Again, I was wrong. I don't know
if I'm looking for advice or sympathy, but I
don't have anyone in my life who could help.
Maybe some friends, but I'm just so ashamed and
embarrassed to say that a man was groping me
and I basically let it happen because I was scared.
It's just humiliating. As for my family, knowing
my mom, she would most likely sl - Slut shame
me and say it's my fault. But yeah, here's the
update. I guess I don't know if I'll update after
this mainly because I don't know what else to
do Okay, so here's an edit because I posted about
him four days ago But I started having doubts
about him stalking me like a month ago I think
I talked to my manager Wednesday and I got assigned
to another group I didn't interact with him Wednesday
and yesterday. He is the one saying that his
daughter is crying about not seeing me. I know
it's not true. He keeps saying stuff like this,
saying things about his daughter to make me feel
bad because he knows we're close. When this incident
happened I went straight to the police station
near my home to tell them what happened because
it's open day and night. I asked if with what
I have I can have a restraining order and they
said no. I know I'm updating quick but I genuinely
don't have anyone I can talk to about this. Hello.
A few weeks ago I made a post about a man stalking
me at the daycare where I work. I don't know
how to link it if I knew I would. I told my boss
I was sick for four days in a row to avoid going
to work. When I tried to call in sick again she
said she would have to fire me if I continued
to skip work. I decided to quit because I was
too scared to return and even more scared to
reveal the real reason for quitting. When this
happened I moved in with my friend. I initially
told her I had a fight with my mom and needed
a place to stay. Later I explained the real reason
and she helped me write an email to my boss explaining
everything. I filed a police report, but nothing
happened. My boss contacted me two days later
to discuss the situation. We had a Zoom meeting
with all three of my bosses and we talked about
everything. She apologized for not taking me
seriously and promised to do better. I asked
if the man could be banned, but they said it
was harder than I thought and would be hard on
the kids. The best they could do was wait until
August -September when his oldest daughter would
start school and they would ask him to enroll
his youngest in another daycare. My boss asked
if I could eventually return to work and I agreed
on the condition that I wouldn't have to go outside
or take care of his daughters. They agreed and
I returned to work the next day. I also found
his wife's email address on the daycare app and
told her everything. I was scared it could backfire
but I felt she needed to know. She thanked me,
explained that they were separated and in the
process of getting a divorce and said this wasn't
the first I have the chills. My first few days
back at work were fine. I would stay in the kitchen
in the mornings to avoid him and would clock
out before the parents arrived. However, I ran
into him once when he picked up his youngest
early. We were both surprised and he tried to
talk to me, but I quickly said hi and left. Are
you kidding me? After that incident, I started
receiving no caller ID calls again, which had
stopped when I moved in with my friend. No. I
went to the police to document everything and
showed them the email from his ex -wife. They
advised me to change my number, which I did,
but they haven't contacted me since. He found
my Instagram and sent me a request. My account
is private, so I deleted the request, but he
sent another one. My Instagram username is my
first and last name, and I have an uncommon last
name, so I'm worried about what he could find
next. Yes. Just tell him. Yes, that's all I have
to say. Keep going. I changed my username, but
he already saw it. My email address also is my
first and last name. I'm considering quitting
again and I'm wondering if I'm exaggerating because
he hasn't done anything yet. However, he knows
my job, my full name, Instagram, old phone number,
and possibly my address and email. Should I tell
his wife or meet up with her? I feel that if
I tell my boss, they will just tell me to wait
until September and the police aren't doing anything.
I partly blame myself for going back to the job
where my problem started, but I love it and it
pays well. I think moving to another city would
be the best scenario, but I can't afford it right
now. Hence why I went back to work in the first
place. I always carry a rape alarm on me now,
feeling that he could appear anytime and it's
so unfair. Please, I need advice. Thank you.
Sad. It's so sad. So sad. And I'm the biggest
jerk in the world. We're gonna pretend like I
didn't say what I said the first time you told
this first story part. See, I'm sorry, OP. I'm
so sorry, OP, because literally, that was literal
proof of like, someone not believing you. And
then now I'm eating my words and I feel like
a jerk. But there are people also that are. What
I said there. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like,
okay, so I need to give myself grace, but I'm
also like, really, really sorry because that
was like the sad story. Is there more? Is there
more? Shut up. Is there more? Oh, there's lots
more. No, shut up. There's lots more. I'm literally.
Yeah. There's a really good comment on this one.
I want to read. Okay. A really good supporter
for for OP. Good. says op there's a lot of good
advice here let me add my thoughts i was the
victim of a stalker for eight months when i was
30 he was released from prison and on probation
for stalking he moved in with his mother in my
apartment building and found me it took a lot
of work to keep my sanity and safety but it's
critical that you put your energy into it because
you have done nothing wrong you do not deserve
this you are not alone although many people will
either fail you take it less seriously or will
be inactive Yes, you will slip and automatically
say hi without thinking and then realize it was
him. My thoughts for you. Find a woman's shelter
and schedule an appointment with one of their
counselors. Tell them you need recommendations
on sources of help and guidance on what to do
to protect yourself. You need to know what to
say to your employer and how they can support
you. You need to know what legal steps you can
take to protect yourself. You may need an attorney
to send a demand letter to him and even apply
for a protective order. They can help you and
you need counseling on how to process the situation.
You are the victim of an ongoing crime. You cannot
navigate this on your own. Continue documenting
everything. Send the ex -wife the police case
number so she has it if she or her attorney want
it. She may ask you for updates which will help
both her situation and will bolster you reminding
you that you are not alone. I cannot remember
if I read this or not. You must tell him to stop
communicating with you. It will be uncomfortable
and difficult, but you have to do so even if
it is right after you blurt out high instinctively.
Say something short and to the point. I've noticed
your level of attraction and communication is
increasing. This is not comfortable or welcome.
Stop interacting with me. Did your employer send
him any note or message? I would ask them to
send him a note saying, an employee has registered
a complaint and the daycare requests he eliminate
interacting with you. Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes. They may not want to do it, but ask them.
Here's the BS thing about men like this people
don't really know how to handle this and too
often people marginalize the situation My own
family really didn't understand what was happening
to me until they arrested him and he was sentenced
to a year in prison Consider keeping an air horn
on you. If he bothers you, you can blast it,
startle him, and generate attention of others.
Just keep saying, get away. Go directly to the
police department and report the interaction.
The air horn is not illegal like mace or a weapon
might be, and it is a unique sound that will
cause attention, which may be a deterrent. Like,
that's so freaking sad to think she's got to
carry a dang air horn. No, that literally breaks
my heart. I'm... There's so much more. I can't.
I'm literally losing it right now. Here's another
piece of advice. Please do not consider uprooting
your life, career, and city because of him until
you first meet with counselors who are professionally
trained in stalking and unwanted advances from
men. You've done nothing wrong and deserve to
live your life the way you want to live. Good
luck. You can do this. We are all behind you.
Feel free to message me if you want. Auntie in
Connecticut is here for you. I want to be like
Auntie. I know. Shout out. Shout out Auntie in
Connecticut. Cool support that she's getting
this is very well. She deserves it. She's going
through it. Oh It's so sad. It's so sad that
like it could be that real She has that much
evidence stuff currently happening and people
just will not listen to her It just breaks my
heart because she's one of those girls and I
don't know if there's many but this one's definitely
one of them actually there probably is many but
like a guy asked for your number and you felt
Uncomfortable and you don't want to give it to
them But you give it to them because of how pressured
you feel and you don't want to like you feel
like you're a people pleaser. Yeah. And that's
like all it was. It had nothing to do with her
being like low key like, oh, yeah. OK. Yeah.
Like wanting. Yeah. Wanting to reciprocate anything.
Like maybe just a smidge, but like it does not
seem like she is just genuinely a really sweet
girl with a lot of trauma and scared. That's
so sad. That's so sad. Freaking and it's so insane.
That nothing can be done. It's just like this
massive hole in the system. That is horrifying.
And this dude's just getting off on all of it,
thinking it's the best thing, a gentle and rash,
just having the best time. He's just such a piece
of crap. No, he's a scary dude. Just impulsive,
just does whatever the frick he wants. Piece
of crap. Maybe does whatever he wants, but he's
sick in the head. There's something not right
there. Both things can be true. It's really scary.
Yeah. And it's sad like Auntie said was like
like no one's gonna take you seriously You have
to take it serious like now's the time to take
action. You have to be on alert That's so horrible.
Just imagine the air horn like some guy like
walks up to a girl and she's just like Dude,
I just it sucks. You can't even carry pepper
spray that sucks, but I hate that for her hate
that for her I would love to see her just spray
that dude right in the face. I'm scared for her.
Yeah. And can we talk about the school? It's
so stupid. It really bothers me. It really, really
bothers me because she's coming to them telling
them, this man groped me, this man touched me.
Sorry, I'll just say she's too embarrassed to
say that. So she didn't tell them? That's the
one thing that she hasn't said yet. At all, even
after all those updates? Why did I think she
did? Oh my gosh. She writes it, she writes it
in here somewhere that she couldn't even tell
the police because she was so ashamed about it.
Nooo. Are people telling her you need to tell
the police? I'm sure. Oh, that is so sad. So
sad. This poor girl. No, it's like you gotta,
gosh, you gotta, you gotta tell them everything.
How could you? Withhold that when you're trying
to get a restraining order. Yeah, that's the
only thing that actually could protect her. We'll
get to it I think it's in this one or the next
one but she says Like she talks about how he
grabbed both of her wrists and was like using
force to like with strength like withhold her
And that wasn't enough for them. Update number
four Hi, everyone. Just a quick update. I'm alive
and well. I don't know why it's not letting me
respond to DMs. Maybe it's me. Haha. I barely
know how to work the app. I basically live with
my friend now. I still go to work, but I'm trying
to find a new job. I'm keeping this one until
I find another. The only thing is I don't know
where to apply. Can't live with my friend forever.
She's trying to find a roommate for July 1st.
I can't officially move out yet. I feel like
if I apply for a job near my house, it would
be easy for him to find me. If I apply far from
home, I feel like it would be easier for him
to attack me on my way back every day. I've been
trying to pick up the habit of recording every
time I leave my classroom or go outside to gather
evidence. I forget sometimes, but I really try.
I stop going to the gym because he knows where
it is. He also found my new number. I have no
idea how. He keeps calling me, so I always have
my phone on do not disturb now. On June 18th
he called me 19 times from different numbers
with the 647 area code. It used to be 249. I
don't have concrete proof it's him, but I can
feel it. I changed my email address, deactivated
my Instagram, and made a new one with about 15
close friends. I showed the phone calls to the
police and they told me to send the evidence
to an email address they gave me. However, since
the numbers keep changing, it's not considered
good evidence. They told me to keep trying to
find more evidence. Isn't that their job with
three question marks and to change my number
again? That's annoying. Having to constantly
change your number. Oh my gosh. I also emailed
his ex -wife telling her that he found my Instagram
a new number. She replied with the lengthy email
basically advising me not to respond to him because
he's dangerous. She gave me examples of how he
used to treat her and her kids, said he buys
their love with toys, and that she caught him
viewing previous nannies' pictures. She suggested
deleting any photos of me on social media because
he might be doing the same with mine. I'm gonna
throw up. She's been wanting a divorce for a
long time, but he keeps dragging it out He tells
everyone he's happily married and still wears
his ring She's terrified for her kids because
he always feeds them lies. I deleted my Facebook
too I showed my boss the calls, but she didn't
seem to care and doubted my concerns She was
like, do you really think he's like that? I've
known him for years. I promise. He's so nice.
She's probably banging him. This boss sucks Yeah,
I'm actually considering suing them because I
think she finds me stupid I had a panic attack
yesterday because I can't walk without thinking
every man behind me is him. I don't know how
to sue someone, let alone a workplace, but I'll
do my research. I bought wasp spray, but I don't
carry it because knowing myself I'll just freeze
up. And what if he ends up using it on me? Ultimately,
I think I'm going to move. I'm considering moving
to Montreal. I have a friend there and just want
to get away from everything. Sorry for posting
about the same situation for a month straight,
but I don't want to bother my roommate all the
time and I don't want to scare her into making
me move out. It's such a weird situation and
it's hard to explain to people. Like, it's not
like I'm a celebrity with a crazy stalker fan.
But yeah, little update, I guess I'll change
my number again. Also my phone's in French, haha
don't mind that, blah blah blah. Oh, it's because
she posted a screenshot of all the numbers calling.
Oh, oh my gosh. How does he even do that with
different numbers? Is there like an app you can
do it? I'm sure I'm sure there's an app. I know
Google voice. You can like create a number. I
don't know So here's some more some more good
comments. Oh P. Please do this You also need
to set up a consultation with an employment lawyer.
Your employer is behaving horrifically And you
may have a solid case on your hands. Boom sue
them make that money for a for real I wonder
if she wouldn't win. She would. But she hasn't
told them about the groping though. This is another
comment. I'm HR. 10 bucks. Your boss gave him
your number. Here's what you do. Set up a Google
phone number and use that one for work. They're
free. Don't give it to anyone else. So set up
the Google voice. Don't give it to anyone else.
If he gets the number again, you know how and
then you have yourself a case. Could you imagine?
If the If the work was giving out her number
all to him That would be a massive case and it
would be it would be So provable. I hope she
did that. Oh, I bet she did. She says she's on
top of it right now She's yeah, she's on her
game, but it's because it's a whole entire life
Deleted all of her social medias got a new phone
number needs to do it again She's like living
in fear because of this freaking monster And
she's like lives with her friend and she's gonna
move away. He's ruined her whole life Yes, it's
so aft Makes me so angry. Yeah the boss like
it's just so wild to me It's like honey get rid
of them and you can get another family and then
literally the next day. I can't believe he touched
her like Shameless like that in in the middle
of the street and the sidewalk. I'm it was it
was Yeah, basically they were walking home from
the gym. Yeah, I imagine it being dark, but I
don't remember if there was that context in the
story. It was after work and she's just out there
and by herself and he was just following her
home. That is so... Oh, and the way she just
worded that whole experience. I was just literally,
I was getting so choked up. It's terrible. That's
her reality. Like she literally had to experience
that. That's horrible. And he just... And he's
just a... He's just a douche, just a sicko. Sicko!
Like how is he? Oh my gosh, nothing has come
from this for him. No. He's just... I wonder
how much more he's done that we don't know. Probably
a ton. That she hasn't known, you know? Yeah,
probably lots. And he's separated, he's lonely,
he's bored, he has nothing else to do but be
fixated on another little girl. He's he's old
and his life is falling apart. He's just a loser
Can we talk about that nanny once if she probably
found out that he was doing those things? Oh,
bye that would shake me Alright, you ready for
the final update? Holy shit. Yeah, I'm ready.
Here we go. I warned you guys. It was a long
ye hi everyone, okay I think this is officially
the final update about my stalker situation.
On Canada Day, I randomly ran into a girl I went
to elementary school with and we chatted for
a while. She told me she had moved to a new place,
so I jumped at the chance to ask if she needed
a roommate. She said it would be great because
she desperately needs someone. Shut up. I looked
up the area and found that I could definitely
find a job there. I'll only tell a handful of
people where I'm moving, but I am so happy I
finally have a place. His ex -wife and I met
up at a cafe and I updated her on everything.
I finally told her about how he touched me that
one night after the gym because up until that
point I hadn't told anyone, not even the police.
I also told her that he still wears his ring
and says he's married. I shared everything I
could and we comforted each other for a while.
She said that one time she went through his work
phone and saw videos of their previous nanny
who was 16 or 17 at the - 16 or 17 at the time
changing. I missed that too the first time. Bro!
That's disgusting. Now I'm terrified he may have
videos of me because I'm not sure he doesn't
know where I live and I tend to change in front
of my window sometimes without realizing it.
Why would you do that? It happens to the best
of us. I mean, I tend to close the window and
I change. It also kind of surprised me but she
said not to let him know that I know he's getting
a divorce. She advised me to act like I don't
know anything. As for my stalker, I haven't seen
him since the incident where we ran into each
other near the nursery, but I keep getting calls.
People have asked me what he says when I pick
up, but he doesn't say anything. He spams me,
I answer, and then he doesn't say anything, so
I hang up. As for my boss, I don't know if there
is an HR department where I work. When I got
hired, I didn't sign any paperwork. I just gave
them my social security number and ID. I sent
an email to my boss explaining that I am quitting
because she's enabling sexual harassment. To
summarize, I said that she's failing to protect
her staff. I don't want to sue them because I
don't want to get into this whole thing. I just
want to leave. She apologized and asked to meet
up, but I didn't answer because I feel like she
will gaslight me. Yeah. I'm getting my number
changed and moving soon. I told his ex -wife
she could use everything I told her for her divorce.
I told her that she could tell my boss what I
told her too if she wanted. Hopefully everything
is over now so I can finally shut up about this.
Thank you all. And then there's one last edit.
Okay, I'm receiving a lot of DMs right now and
I don't even know if people are gonna see this
edit. I was thinking of just ignoring it, but
I just wanna make a few things clear. This is
just random context for anybody that will actually
understand it. I was born in Quebec, then moved
to Ontario when I was young. I grew up speaking
French, then moved to Ontario where I learned
English. There are a lot of things I still struggle
with in English. I didn't know SSN was an American
thing. It's called SIN in Ontario, but also a
lot of people I know use those terms interchangeably,
especially in bilingual places like Montreal.
So I thought you could use both. Two, when I
went to the police for the first time, I said
that he grabbed me and tried to intimidate me.
I didn't have the courage to say that he touched
my boobs, but I said that he grabbed my wrist
and wouldn't let me go. I said that he kept touching
my arm and tried to scare me. I should have told
them everything I know, but I was just so embarrassed
and still am. I don't want to talk about that
at all, especially because I don't want to hear
a question like, what did you do when he did
that? Because I didn't do anything. I just froze.
It's embarrassing to me. His ex -wife is the
only one who knows the full story of what happened
that night after the gym. I felt like I owed
it to her, especially because she was so honest
with me from the beginning. Three, what I mean
by he spams me, I pick up, he doesn't say anything,
so I hang up, is the first time he called me
on my new number, I didn't answer, but he wouldn't
say anything. The first times he called me on
my new number, I did answer, but he wouldn't
say anything, so I would hang up. I understood
very quickly that it was him who would call me,
so I stopped answering a long time ago. I'm sorry
I wasn't 100 % clear. I hope it makes more sense
now. Definitely feel like I got the full picture
here on this story. Well, that's that's the full
picture. There's that's new updates. Yeah Well,
it sounds like she moved which good for her.
Yeah, and this was all nine months ago. So no
nothing Wow, that's good. That's a good thing.
So we can we can assume I mean good and safe
I don't almost feel like there should be an update
that just says hey I moved and I changed my number
and I've never heard from him again. Yeah, I'm
safe That's kind of sketch, you know Does anyone
like commented recently been like are you good,
bro? Or all the comments are from nine months
ago. It looks like oh my gosh I feel so bad for
her. I really hope she was able to get a fresh
start somewhere new Get a really good job. She's
gonna be terrified of all the men though that
pick come pick up their kids She might please
don't talk to me. This is a good comment And
I feel like this is good for the listener for
anybody that's dealt with this Just an FYI for
the future, it is not considered stalking or
harassment unless you have proof that you have
explicitly told the person to stop contacting
you and proof that they continue to do so. If
this ever happens again, be sure to text, email,
record a phone call of you saying, stop contacting
me. Once they receive slash hear that and continue
to contact you, you can then press charges for
unwanted contact and harassment. You should also
consult with the pro bono lawyer about your employer.
They were legally obligated to protect you and
they did not. Good luck with your move and sorry
it never came to that. Wow, that was a fantastic
advice. Yeah, record it. Yeah. If you think that
that's happening to you, like get proof that
you're saying stop it. Yeah. And then document
everything. No, that was very, very good advice.
So that was that. Pretty crazy. Hope, hope he's
okay. Like really? Yeah. You just you don't know
what if. Once it becomes an episode of 2020 and
they link the reddit post or if they link No,
no. No, I do think if she moves pretty far away.
There's no way he's coming after her at that
point He's gonna find a new target. Well, that's
he seems to me like the type that would just
Target whatever's convenient. Yeah, he's just
gonna have something exactly whatever's convenient.
I agree. Okay, Hayden. Bye. Bye Okay, are we
ready for mine? I am. Okay, so my story from
today I f'd up by letting my obsession go too
far. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I
can't stop. It started as a bad habit and turned
into something else. I see a girl and I get obsessed.
Not in a romantic way, not even in a normal creepy
way. I just need to know everything about her.
Social media makes it way too easy. A name on
a coffee cup, a college sweatshirt, a tagged
photo from a friend's account, and suddenly I
know her Instagram, her job, what gym she goes
to. where she gets brunch on Sundays. M was the
worst one. I saw her once at a bookstore, and
three days later, I knew her whole life. Her
major, her part -time job, what classes she was
taking, where she lived. I never followed her,
not really, but some, not really. But sometimes
I'd end up in places she liked, just to see her
in real life. Not to talk to her, just to be
there. Creep. Then I started getting these thoughts
I couldn't push away. One night, I watched her
unlock her apartment door, and I caught myself
wondering what the inside looked like. That was
the first time I actually scared myself. I went
home, deleted everything, and swore I was done.
But I wasn't. I saw her again a few weeks later
at a coffee shop. Total accident. But when she
walked in, I already knew she was going to be
there because she posted about getting coffee
earlier that morning. I glanced at my phone without
thinking, and then she looked at me. Not past
me, at me. Like she recognized me. I got up and
left, didn't say anything, didn't look back.
I don't know if she actually knew who I was or
if I was just in my own head. I told myself I'd
stop, and for a while I did. But I still think
about her. I wonder if she still goes to that
bookstore. What kind of perfume she wears. If
she ever noticed the way I watched her. What
in the... Okay, so when I read this story, I
kind of had a hard time... thinking like, okay,
is this real or is he kind of just doing like
a knockoff of you? You? Yeah. Because like when
I was reading, I was like, oh, you know, this
is kind of like you. But there obviously are
a little bit of differences, but it does sound
very similar to that. Well, obviously, if you've
ever seen you, he's he's not. He's he's graduated
like, oh, yeah, like you have graduated from
stocking 101. That's that's really creepy because
it's like how many people out there are Like
that like kind of they know it's bad. They know
that they should not act in a certain way, but
they just like Like sliding down that slippery
slope. I bet there's so many out there That's
it's funny because that's exactly what I thought
of was you yes, because he like almost has this
Seems they make it seem like he's just this normal
dude But then he is just Always obsessing like
so hard the new season of that's coming out and
I'm so excited But do you feel like she saw him
like she recognized him and was like you've been
following me around lately Like I don't feel
good about this That's that's what I don't fully
understand because he says in there That he doesn't
actually follow her like he doesn't actually
physically follow her. He just like keeps tabs
on her online Well, he doesn't also said he saw
her at the apartment. That's what I was just
gonna say. So he said that he doesn't follow
her but then he's like I saw her unlocking her
door one night and then he doesn't wait you're
saying he doesn't follow her on social media
no like he doesn't follow her around physically
yeah so what which one is it bro yeah he's not
making sense here yeah he's a sketch ass anyway
yeah I'm literally terrified of this dude I like
can picture what he looks like and I don't love
it and it's not Joe from you I'm telling you
right now no he's not that handsome Joe's not
that he's decent looking he's No, but I get what
you're saying. He's not he's not like some freaking
creeper ugly off the street Yeah, yeah dude in
his mom's basement type. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah
100 % which yeah That's what I would have thought
for the first story. It's kind of what I would
have pictured even though they say he was handsome
Yeah, I mean there's so much to say here there.
It's disgusting. It's creepy and He needs therapy,
and I'm nervous for him. Therapy. He needs therapy.
He's so obsessive over this girl. Jail time.
There is an update. And it's much shorter than
your updates from your last story. So I think
this tells us everything we need to know, though.
Update. I slipped up. I checked her profile last
night. Private now. Well private yes, so she
took it from public to private after seeing him
at the coffee shop Dang so I think she was like
dude. This guy's been around way too often. I
have no idea who this guy is I Think she noticed
I can't even fathom that'd be so sketchy. I Literally
picture yourself walking in a grocery store you
make eye contact with this dude You walk away
you're great in your groceries blah blah blah
you get to check out you see him again And he's
like making sure he's like kind of pacing around
the same time as you but it's only a couple times
You see him, so it's not like that big of a deal
Get you your car you drive away next day you're
going and getting a soda at the soda shop And
who's behind you in the line in the frickin line?
It's him behind not in front behind. It's him
Okay, so there's two incidents at that point,
you know, this chick has seen him at least two
different times Yeah, I mean like that alone
just right there. I'd be like, uh -uh. I don't
like that So I miss what I don't know this part.
I don't know. I don't know one more thing. Of
course. I'm so sorry Yeah, say what you want
to say. I need to say this he's behind me. Yeah,
and I'm saying you're like, that's weird. That's
the same guy I saw the story yesterday. Don't
know who he is Go on your social media. You look
to see you viewed your story and there's the
dude Oh hell your ass is putting that Instagram
profile on private so fast. What wouldn't you
just block him? Can you just do that? That's
true. I would definitely block, but I would for
sure be on private I'm on private anyways, but
yeah, except for our Instagram internet frenzy,
of course, but should we be I'm scared No, yeah,
don't follow us. Don't follow us. Follow us,
but don't Follow us online not in real life.
I'm fine Follow us online online. I thought you
said on vine. I probably freaking did bro. I
was a little old those are the best days Golden
days. My vine days were the best content I have
ever put out in my life. I doubt that. Can I
say something? Absolutely. Now it is your turn.
Okay. I have the talking stick. You have it all.
Yes, I do. I feel like maybe this is just in
being a dude. I don't know. Yeah. But I'm like
hyper aware of my surroundings. So if there was
a situation like that for me, I would absolutely
notice it fast. Yeah. Like I would because we
like pull into our like to where we live and
I look around like I'm noticing if a different
car that I don't recognize is here. You are so
observant. Like why is that this and like blah
blah and like just the way I am just in my nature
I'm just gonna notice things that are like that.
Do you feel like that's most men or do you feel
like it's just specific like people? I really
don't know. I feel like it's probably more men
than women I would think. At least with recognizing
cars for sure. Well yeah I'm like that's That's
something, that is something I feel like maybe
somewhat more specific to me. Yeah. But I've
always been that way. Even when I was like in
elementary school, went through a phase of being
like really into cars. And I just always recognized
like if it was somebody that I knew. Oh, that's
so funny. Like if it was their car. But yeah,
what was I gonna say? There was something else.
Oh, I was gonna make mention of the fact that
like, I'm observant But then there's people that
take you to a whole nother level of observant
Yeah, like we have we have a neighbor that lives
across from us. That is a homicide detective
It's so dope. He's a stud that like I ran into
him at the golf course that we live near like
we were I was on the putting green he came up
and he just like Outlined the whole lay of the
neighborhood He's like, oh so like you guys like
and are related to these people and like I know
the people that live here and just Literally
had the whole place mapped out at the back of
his hand mapped out without actually knowing
a good way to put it like he right as he Spotted
him on the golf course. He was like, oh, hey
He's like, hey, I know you like you have you
have a little girl like yeah, I live across from
you blah blah blah Yeah, you're like who the
frick is this guy cuz I really I thought I was
observant, but I've never seen him before Honestly,
I just didn't recognize him over there. I would
recognize this car though. Yeah, his car's so
sick. Well anyways So there's levels to this,
being observant, and it's probably a benefit
to be observant. So you, watch your back, everyone.
Look out for this guy, because he's out there
apparently. Yeah, this like Joe wanna want 2
.0, Joe 2 .0. From you, you're sorry, not you
Joe. Yeah, just make it specific. You're Joseph,
you're Josephy. Okay, well that's my first story,
are you ready for my second one? That was pretty
cool. I know. I loved that. I know. I know it
was. It was neat. Thanks. Okay, so here is my
next story. This is from Chew Off My Chest. I'm
being stalked. Content warning sexual assault.
I'm 23M, a regular at my local library. of these
libraries. That's weird. I am never going to
a library again. I'm 23m, a regular at my local
library. About five days ago, I go in to return
some books and check out some new ones. And when
I go to check out, the librarian is one I don't
recognize. I know all the librarians at my library
pretty well, and I'm a pretty chatty person.
And she was pretty cute on top of that. So I
started talking to her. She asked me when I'm
checking out the Golden Compass and a couple
of volumes of the Chainsaw Man manga. If I recommend
them, what else I recommend? It wasn't anything
out of the ordinary until she sent me along the
lines of, what's your girlfriend like to read?
I'm single, and I tell her that. She just kind
of smiles, a weird smile at me. It was after
that I left. On my drive home I get a text notification,
then two more. I don't check them, obviously,
because I only live a few minutes from the library.
When I finally check them, they're from an unknown
number, they say. Message one. Hey, was nice
talking to you today. Message two. If you ever
want to talk about Chainsaw Man or whatever else
you're reading, feel free. Message three, text
me back soon. I almost threw up reading this.
I don't give out my number freely and the fact
that she mentioned the series I was checking
out told me who it was. She must have looked
at my number from my library account. I called
the library, luckily someone else answered and
demand to speak to someone in charge. I tell
them what happened when they asked me to give
the number when I read it. They said it wasn't
any number of anyone that worked there. She wasn't
texting me from an alternate number. The person
on the phone tells me she'd investigate further,
but she hung up before I could say anything further.
I blocked the first number, but she's texted
me from two others. She hasn't said anything
that would give her away, mostly just a string
of her telling me how she much. how much you
enjoyed talking to me and how cute I was and
other stuff you don't text a stranger who recommended
Manga to you. I'm worried about leaving the house
now, worried about going to work, worried that
this psycho is gonna throw me into a white van
and take me to some murder shack in the middle
of the woods. This sucks. So this is a male afraid
of a girl that he believes is stalking him. Yeah,
I'm skeptical of this dude. Like you think this
girl is gonna throw your ass into a van. Like,
first of all. She made your job easy. You already
said she was cute true like No, we got to be
considerate. He's obviously very uncomfortable.
No, we don't have to be considerate because listen
I'll I will be on this hill. Okay, like if he
was physically threatened by her Okay, that's
one thing but he has a nice interaction with
her Yeah, she violated some some privacy issues
by getting his phone number from his library
card. That is just some nerd stuff She have happened.
That's like ballsy. Like she just went straight
for that is chef curry with the shot She's like
I'm not gonna even ask for your number buddy.
I'm just going to steal it off the account Take
it from your library card while you're checking
out some Goofy books. That's so creepy It's like
there's absolutely that element of creepy like
that's like not chill to do that's but that's
obsessive for this guy to like I'm sorry. Just
yeah, I don't see it like Like he's in danger.
That's a very different situation than the other
ones and that's just my perspective as a dude
Okay. Yeah, I don't know if he's endangered yet,
but I what's interesting to me though is when
he called the library They're not gonna give
out like oh, yo, that's the number for Tracy.
That's her number They're not gonna do that.
You don't think they would know 100 % No, you
think they would be protecting her in case he
was a sketch. Yes, exactly Cuz that that's that
would be my first thought is and I think there
is like training on that You can't just be like,
you know, that's her number. She I don't know
how that would work if he's like, hey, I just
was there. I checked out a manga book and I talked
to a librarian and then she texted me in reference
to the conversation from this number. Is this
her number? Like, and again, it could be a Google
voice thing, could be like a alternate number
kind of deal. I don't know if you can text from
Google voice, but. True. Also, another thought
too is if she did do that and she. Got the phone
number from the library court. She's also getting
his address from there as well, right? So that's
sketch one time I had a girl slide into my DMS
on Twitter of all places Wow Based on me using
my credit card at some pizza place So like I
swiped to pay for my food. She got my name from
the credit card and then found me on Twitter
What'd she say? She said hey I thought you were
cute. No. How old were you? This was just before
we dated. That little pizza hoe. Pizza hoe Chi.
So did you respond? Yeah. Oh, I'm so triggered.
I didn't, I didn't think it was that creepy.
I was like, wow, you're actually like really
making an effort. That's crazy. You're so nice.
Nothing went anywhere, obviously. But yeah, obviously
I'm here. Obviously you're here, but seriously.
Like I just didn't I didn't take that to be a
threat. That's what I why I compared myself to
it was like, okay, I I was striking I was like,
okay, that's That's different. Yeah, like you're
definitely like there's got to be a screw loose,
you know, like you're not like normal Yeah, I
didn't take it to be I didn't take it to be endangering
stalking behavior. This is Like, sorry if this
triggered anybody. We're triggered. But crazy,
crazy stuff that's out there. If you have any
