  • Never ... But I might stalk Thomas_Edison ... lol
  • aliens ;) now i stalk them :D
  • Yes, by a neo-Nazi in 1983. He didn't agree with something I said on the air (I work in broadcasting). He called me up at work and home (I had an unlisted phone number...spooky) and told me my whereabouts hour by hour by reading his journal entries. He threatened my life after the third week or so, he held his rifle next to the phone and cocked the action. After that, our business phone and my home phone obtained a tracer/tap for the police and state patrol to monitor calls. There was also investigation and surveillance from the authorities. He was caught eventually, but there was not enough evidence to convict him. He was put on probation for a couple of years and then he moved to a different town.
  • I was stalked by an ex boyfriend for a little while. He was freaky.
  • Yes, when I was at University. One day a middle aged man waved at me. I thought maybe he was someone I knew but had forgotten. I was about to return the wave when an older friend said to me: "Don't acknowledge him. He's a pervert. He's on the maths staff and he tries to pick up the girls all the time." but I kept seeing him everywhere on campus and it made me feel uncomfortable. Then, you wouldn't believe it, and neither did I, he rented the house opposite my parents'. I went to catch the bus one day, and there he was. I was so scared. He was always trying to sit next to me, and followed me onto the railway platform (we were going to exactly the same destination, remember!) I used to have to grab ladies and plead for them to pretend to talk to me. When they did, he would walk past. But on the train, he was always trying to sit beside me, and when he managed to, even if I ignored him, he would wave his hand in front of my face to try and get me to react. Now this guy was married and all.... It stopped when he was transferred to an American University. So scary. How did he know where I lived? It couldn't have been a coincidence that in the whole of Sydney, he moved across the road from me, could it? (this was all before there were things such as stalking laws)
  • Yes i have been stalked and it is not right.
  • No, My life is not that interesting...and I would never have the time or interest in stalking someone else.
  • both and truth be told i dont like either one
  • I had a female stalker that would wait for me at the corner next to my house, once i caught her taking pictures of my liscence plates.
  • No, I have never been stalked. I'm not considered an object of desire for the sick minded. I'm confident that as long as I don't provide my address and other personal information to anyone I don't know, I will never be stalked
  • I have been stalked in real life. I was married to this guy(another story of another day) but when we split up he was hanging around my house at night seeing what I was doing always comming to my work and just showing up every where i turned I had to move out of the town.
  • yeah, when i worked at barnes and noble there was a guy that would come in almost everyday and have me do complicated searches for books and would stand right up against me (RIGHT UP AGAINST ME!) while i did his search. this was before b&n had the kiosk things and when the computers were just out on the floor. he wouldn't ask anyone else for help, only me. eventually my manager started letting me hide in the stock room while he asked him to leave.
  • Yep, both..by the same girl once.
  • Yes, I have.
  • not yet but maybe someday soon. I can only hope.
  • no <.< >.>
  • I'm a guy but I indeed have had 3 stalkers in my life over the years. I never thought guys could be stalked but I was. 2 were pretty bad, the usual calling incessantly, showing up at my house, waiting in my driveway when I got home, coming to my job, etc. But one did all of that and I eventually had to get kind of rude, then she took it upon herself to try to break up my relationship (like that would win me over?!) then she tried to throw herself at me for just sex, I ended up losing her when I moved thank goodness. But before I did move I sent her this video because she was constantly bugging me on myspace too.
  • I've been stalked before, by a sniper. He was about to shoot me, when i saw his mos passing through the bunker. He kept looking at me for about 10 mins, i got my m24 and sniped his ass back to his hadgi shit ass house.
  • yes, she use to drive past my house (which was out of the way) and circle the block over and over when we were on the phone. She use to park in my drive-way also when she was on the phone with me and i didnt realize it once until i was on the way to walmart one night. After that is when i figured out she was circling the block. Thing is, she was the one that broke it off with me which was even weirder in my book. She just wanted to be friends but would be very clingie when we would run into each other at the bars. We lived in a small town so it wasnt hard to run into each other. I dunno... a lot more stuff too but i typed enough lol.
  • I did for awhile from a guy who lived on the same floor as me, he would keep asking to kiss me and ask me out, when I said no I don't want to go out, he asked why, I told him I didn't want a bf, then he would get pissed off, he tried dancing with me I would tell him to piss off, and he would get mad, he was creepy for awhile, but I guess someone put him in his place because he stayed in his room after all that.
  • I was once, as a teenager. It got quite scary. I was getting threatening phone calls telling me I was going to be kidnapped and I would never see my family again and being followed by someone in a white car. After he showed up at the house I was babysitting at, one of my sisters, one of my brothers and a friend of his started coming with me. After three nights, the guy showed up again. My brother and his friend actually chased the guy for several blocks but he evaded them. It was a pretty scary couple of weeks.
  • I was when I was younger, it is very scary,they even put a nail in my tire. Police told me to carry a gun and try not to be alone. Never did find out who it was.
  • It was horrible and went on for 3 years until she finally obeyed the court (or it was back in jail again for her). The worst part of it was that I allowed myself to be her victim. When I found out that I was being stalked, I didn't tell anyone for over a year because I was afraid and embarrassed. I just wanted her to stop or go away but instead, things were escalating. If this is happening to you, keep a diary of events and do tell everyone you know that you are being stalked. Call the police, they are there to protect you. Involve the courts and don't be afraid of repercussions from your stalker, BUT DO BE PREPARED. Try to never be alone. Also, don't be surprised to discover that you were being stalked long before you knew about it. That was probably the creepiest part of the whole thing for me. I hope you are only asking this question out of curiosity or whatever. If you are asking because you are in this situation, do whatever it takes to remain safe. Definitely tell your family, friends and neighbors--they will eventually find out anyway. You have nothing to be embarrassed about.
  • No. That's why I'm quite surprised that a few people have stalked me on AB. Seriously, I'm not that interesting to be stalked. I guess some people are just really sad.
  • When I was younger I was coming back from a friend's house, who lived about fifteen minutes away from me. It was evening, and I always used the alley to go there, or come back. So I'm using the alley, and I notice some fat guy following me. Since nobody else was there I got scared and started walking faster, and he started walking faster, and I was all like, okay, no lol. When I was near my apartment block, he was still following me, and I started running to get inside. Then this weirdo started running too, I got freaked out, and instead of running up to my apartment, I went in the basement like an ass lol. There was an old refrigerator, and I ran behind and hid. The guy actually came in the basement, but I didn't dare to look. He seemed to be looking for me, but he gave up fast enough and left. Dumbass didn't think of looking behind the refrigerator, ha ha. Anyways after that I run upstairs and told my dad, probably shoulda done that in the first place. :/
  • Not exactly stalked, but certainly harassed by my ex-husband. Following me around would have required him to get off the couch, so he didn't do that, but he phone me incessantly and sent long long emails. Eventaually I blocked his emails and when he threatened to kill me over the phone, I called the police. We have a son, so I have to keep in contact with him, but he smartened up a bit after that and eventually he stopped harassing me and now only calls about our son. I still block his emails though.
  • I outsource with the professional... too time consuming for me and I have no need to
  • yes and yes
  • Yes. I met this guy when I was 17 who was 7 years older than me and had a daughter. At first he was cool and we hung out a bit but then he started talking about me being a mother to his child. One day he called me and wanted to meet up and I told him I was really sick and I was just staying in. Like half an hour later I walked to the store to get some smokes and guess who was driving up and down my street. When he saw me he freaked. After that he constantly called me for a few months after but I jsut ignored him and he finally went away.
  • yeah my ex was turning real obsessive, one time i was gettig dropped off from a friend at 3 in the morning, coming from the club and all of sudden when i got off teh car , my ex came out from the bushes from next door and scared the crapp out of me, and started arguing he was all drunk,,, i had to stay out talking to him til ge left like 2 hours later... that was crazy..
  • I had a very freaky ex girlfriend in high school who would follow me around town in my car and lurk around my job at the grocery store. I don't know what ever happened to her, maybe she is hiding outside my window right now.
  • Yes I was more than twice, on my cellphone and even through my e-mail, sometimes in the chat room. Good thing my sim card just malfunction so I can change sim card, block the e-mail of the stalker and put people on the ignore list if they're persistent.
  • Yes, both. Not proud or ashamed of either.
  • Are you kidding? I'm the stalker queen!
  • I've had a girl bombard me with text messages, over a hundred on some days! I eventually had to get the police to sort it out!
  • Yep. And it's amazing how easy it is to persuade them to stop with some good old fashioned common sense and a brickbat.
  • Unfortunately yes and more than once and by more than one person. One was a coworker whom I befriended and a few times we went to lunch on his motorcycle, but as friends as he was married. I started dating another coworker and we would be out and about and this 'stalker' would show up and accost the guy asking why he was with me etc...I was warned by others when I spoke of this to be very careful as he was known to have an evil temper. Sadly, I was stalked (I and a friend at one point, out in the countryside and later found my sibling was out there within a few feet of us following us..later bragged about it, is why I knew) by a sibling whom in my younger years I adored, but something snapped and I had my home broken into and was battered and threatened with death and got blasting music on my voice mail and was cornered in my home with the neighbors and later the police showing up outside.This sibling came looking for me at my friends house and threatened her that if she was helping to hide me and my sibling found out my friend "would pay". A very upsetting time...you expect family to be there for you not against you. I found out how obsessive middle eastern men could be when I dated one. We had just gone out a few times and then I cancelled one date as a friend of mine miscarried and I was staying with her so she could recouperate and he showed up saying we had a date!!! This same gal came by my house one time with her three children in the car, very distraught and wanting to leave her kids with me and kill herself and so I sat on the curb trying to talk with her and calm her down and the first guy I mentioned in this answer came out of the house and said "I was here first, why are you out here talking with her?" Well DUH I'm trying to stop a suicide and protect 3 children, he got very angry. I don't understand how people can be so obsessive to that degree. Of course, being a woman you get followed by men...what is with that??
  • yes, ive been stalked many times by many people. i dont want to go into further detail though
  • Yes.It's not fun.
  • I was stalked.. followed me everywhere i went. i thought he'd eventually talk to me and we could be cool with it. but then it just stopped... i think he OD'd on crack. I wasnt scared, just irritated because I didn't understand the reasoning behind it.
  • No, but I may someday never know.
  • my fiancé was once stalked by this CRAZY bitch. she stood outside his house for hours in the rain and they'd only gone on 1 date
  • yes.... <_<.......>_>....
  • Well, lately, I've gotten back into reading Stephen King in the WORST way. I've searched all over the internet for him, etc. It's gotten so bad, that when a friend of mine IM'ed me and ask what I was doing, I told her, "Oh, stalking Stephen King again..." And YES, I've google-earthed him.
  • Yes... I have been stalked by numerous guys since I was in the 6th grade. I'm not 32!
  • yes i have been stalked by this really creepy guy!!!! and well me and a friend of mine would stalk eachother friendly like when we were out... lol
  • I was in love with the girl who moved in and lived across the street. I thought she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. In those days most children went to single sex schools, and the school I went to was one of two schools that were built together, one a mirror image of the other, one for the boys and one for the girls. There are some good things about sexual segregation in schools, at least it keeps immediate contemplation of potential partners off the agenda during school hours, but it is not a good way of educating young people to interact well with members of the opposite sex. Jacqueline went to the girls' school. I was too shy to speak to her, and used to try to catch the same bus as her after school and walk home on the other side of the street. Such simple things as speaking to girls seemed impossible to teenagers of my generation. Then she got herself a boyfriend who went to a horrid, but mixed secondary modern school, and who knew how to speak to girls. And that was the end. Was it stalking? I suppose it was.
  • I was stalked by a girl for a while. I was a jerk at the time and very chauvanistic. I actually strung her along for a while. She would call at all hours, she would come over and just sit in her car in front of my house. On nights that I didn't have a date and was feeling....frisky, I'd just let her in. I feel really terrible about it now. She was really messed up. I could have actually gotten her the help she needed much sooner than she got it.
  • To the first part: Not that I know of. To the second part: No.
  • Yes and he still calls numbers he couldnt possibly know every now and then he knows where I live and the police cant force the phone company to trace his call because he paces them out and that is their confidentiality policy, he comes to my work and tells me he can see me on the phone. Not a good feeling and now that my ex has left and I live alone I feel very insafe, good thing im moving house soon.
  • I was stalked by someone I didn't know, who had seen me dance. When the cops finally caught him, he had candid pictures of me (including one through my bedroom window without a shirt on. I'm a guy btw) and articles of my clothing (I don't know how he got those.) The whole thing was a nightmare. I felt totally violated. I wouldn't wish that on anyone!
  • Yes, I'm sorry to admit. I have. I did it repeatedly with one boyfriend, for well over a year. He hated me for it, and I deserved it. +5
