His name is J0hn Vand1v3r Gr1c3 and he is stalking me. He always comes to me in a/v even if I am packing up to go home and other people are standing at the bit where people get served, waiting to serve. He watches The Irony Of Fate (dodgy 80s Russian made-for-TV-3hour rom-com) over and over again. He is rude ad discourteous and has a fat-tongue and what's more a hearing-aid which would make me feel guilty for hating him if he wasn't such an awful, charmless, stalking cunt. He harasses my mate Katy at the issude desk all the time, commenting on her "nice t-shirts" as an excuse to stare at her breasts, he has no manners, an awful voice, bad clothes, urgh urgh urgh!!!!!!!!!

I just went for a poo, had finished, and was about to leave the cubicle when I heard someone come in, and it was him, and he spent 7 minutes talking to himself and walking around the toilet bit where the sinks and urinals are, talking in his thick, fat-tongued Georgia accent to himself. The first thing he said was "the problem with me is ah'm a perfectionist... mumble mumble...women... mumble mumble..." and then he wittered on about work permits and Bulgaria and Macedonia and residence permits and going to te police with a signature and it was like he was having a proper conversation with himself and Billy reckons he loves me cos he alwasy avoids everyone else if he can come to me (likewise for Kay on the issue desk - fuck knows what'd happen if he came in to a/v now cos she's down here this afternoon) and urgh urgh urgh it's really freaking me out

And during those 7 minutes I sat, silently, scared, on the shitter, listening to him witter on, afraid of his reaction were I (of all people! - the one he loves!) to emerge, and then he washed hsi hands and noticed the cubicle door was closed and said, quite clearly, "oh shit - I hope that's not what ah think it is" and urgh urgh urgh can I get a restraining order?

you should have thrown a tird at him.

Before you get a restraining order, try telling him to fuck off.

He's deaf dan, it wouldn't work. Plus even if he heard I doubt he'd understand.

Yikes. My sympathies. Libraries are basically luny magnets.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that explains Ned, then!

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

(j/k, I love you really Ned)

― kate (kate), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Have you tried doing this?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

No, that's QUITE all right, Kate, I wasn't hurt or anything. *stumbles away and cries*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Luny.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

stalking someone just at work - kinda lazy isnt it?

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a grand spelling!

The most recent luny magnet was some guy the other day, late forties I'd say, who came to the desk to ask about where to find photography books, announced that he had no friends and proceeded to creepily bore our student assistant for about ten minutes talking about how digital cameras can't compare with the real thing. He looked about as together as you would imagine him to be.

I remember one guy who used to come in to the public library where I was working every day and would start rambling on and on to me or to himself about his project, which was re-writing the bible using Charles Manson and Manson family instead of Jesus and his followers. He scared me a lot, because he even when he wasn't pestering me or one of the librarians he would just stare at one of us.

And that's just one of the lunys I have encountered over the years. He was the only one that really frightened me, the other ones have just been odd or annoying.

Really, libraries are much like the real life ILE.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Exactly.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Not much more to add, is there!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Nicole, that's fucking CREEPY. (And let me tell you, Creepy is none too pleased.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Taht's low even for you, Dan.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I try. *bow*

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

(Did you check the ASL link, BTW?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Couldn't get the QuickTiem downlaod to work, and am abotu to go home, so will look tomorrow.

getting lost in a library and being stalked by a mad american, isnt there a movie like this? there should be, not that i'm making light of your problem. maybe you can tell him that you 'need your space" somehow, as a polite way of saying "leave me alone" ?

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 10 July 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

people who suck just have to be suffered, I find. (I work in HR, btw)

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Thursday, 10 July 2003 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 10 July 2003 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)
