Getting in touch with someone has never been this easy. We can text our friends, talk to people we're playing a video game with, or have a video conference with our coworkers. You get the picture. However, this also means that we're easy to reach too. And not everyone is interested in having a nice conversation.
There's an interesting post on r/AskReddit by u/AStutler4907 where they asked other users: "What's the creepiest message you've received from someone?" Turns out, there are quite a few disturbing individuals who either have some sort of ulterior motive or just want to spread fear and chaos.

Might not be “serial killer” creepy but a man once messaged me “$200.00” when I asked him what he meant he said that him and his friends were betting on how easily he could lay me and that he’d get $200.00 for getting me into bed (I’m a lesbian) He was as old if not older than my own father and I told him in the calmest way possible how gross it was, how ashamed he should be and told him I would be forwarding the screenshots to his daughter and family (I did)
I'm weirdly curious what happened after to the weirdo.
Load More Replies...I’m so proud you didn’t threaten, you promised! Good for you for taking control back and humiliating him.
She didn't humiliate him. He humiliated himself by sending those messages in the first place. Don't blame the woman for the man's actions.

Last year I broke up with a guy I briefly dated. I got really bad stalker vibes from him so I cut him off completely - blocked him on my phone and every messenger I have and deleted my FB profile. A couple of weeks later I learned that he moved to my city which really freaked me out.
On my birthday in November I found a birthday card from him in my mailbox - no stamp so I know he's been to my house. It was really creepy but I didn't hear from him ever again after that. Until now.
Fast forward to this year November. Again, he threw a birthday card and a gift card into my mailbox - no stamp. I've moved TWICE since last year and yet he was able to locate me on my birthday, so I know he's still monitoring where I live. I am now absolutely convinced that he's nuts. In what world can he believe that I find this intrusive behaviour considerate or romantic?
Please find some sort of help or see if he has any priors. This is dangerous stalking.
The more important thing would be to find out how he keeps track of her.
Load More Replies...It's pointless deleting your Facebook profile and thinking you're secure. It would be extremely unlikely that you know no-one else with a Facebook profile, who also have pictures of you, talk about you etc. What you need to do, and after the first instance, is to report him to the police and take out a restraining order.
In the US it's technically illegal for anyone except a postal employee or the owner of the mailbox to put anything into it. It is also illegal to stalk in most jurisdictions - document everything and if you're able, talk to an attorney or women's crisis line for guidance. It's so awful that you are dealing with this - stay safe
Police can't do anything because he hasn't committed a crime. there's no law against putting a card in someone's mailbox. Also it's ridiculously easy to find people's addresses.
Load More Replies...Take your car to a mechanic to make sure he hasn't planted a tracking device. You might consider setting up a trust or a dummy corporation so that your lease or mortgage won't be searchable in public records. If you haven't already done so, I would also get a new phone and recycle the old one. I think I might also subscribe to an identity protection service, so you'll be notified of searches of your credit reports, etc. Finally, notify the police, and fill out all the forms. Just to cover that base. If you can afford it, a private detective might be able to provide some insight.
he is going to do something stupid one of these days.. you need to nip it in the bud quick before you get into a rut.. people are ruthless and all the #GenderBasedViolenceInWomen red flags are there.. dont take it too lightly... GET HELP!
‘Hey you look like my sister and I’m into inbreeding’.
Gross.
I messaged back ‘that’s good to hear cause my brother is also my father’.
Nailed it. He didn’t reply back.
True Story: My brother looks like the brother of his wife, and they share the same name aswell. Freaks me out whenever I think about it.
Have you ever seen them in the same room together?
Load More Replies...My mother had my oldest brother when she was 22, and me when she was a very young-looking 40. My father travelled for business a lots back then, so John had to take Mom to her OB-GYN appointments. The first time, here’s teenager John in a waiting room full of pregnant women, plus their children, and babies. Rather overwhelming, so he was trying to distance himself. The nurse asks my mother why her husband wasn’t acting like he was interested in the baby. My mother had to explain he wasn’t her husband, he was her oldest son. A compliment to her? Yes. Very awkward and gross at the same time? Hell yes.
Thats when for example brother and sister have a baby. Or Mother and Son or Father and Daughter....
Load More Replies...Not even the worst opening message I've read about, but it comes damn close
Was playing some CS:GO. Teammate started out really nice at the start of the game. We started losing and he got really really toxic. I told him to calm down or something like that and he said “I will fucking kill you in real life.” After the game he sent me a friend request. I accepted expecting him to do some trash talking and call me shit. Instead he sent me my Address, My dad’s full name and my phone number. Being 16, I was terrified.
Too much information is way too available to anyone with an internet connection, and the governments all seem to want to store even MORE info on us all out there!!
Load More Replies...Why in the name of sanity would you accept a "friend request" from that person? Doing so automatically gives them access to all of your available data, which in this instance obviously included things like address and family details, taken from things like geotagged photos. Someone who says what they said to you should be immediately reported for threatening behaviour, not further associated with!
For a start, there are literally data protection laws that prevent what you described, you have a clear misunderstanding of data access. It's terrifying what's available, but accepting a friend on a gaming platform doesn't make that available to the other user. Secondly, wow, how judgemental are you of a 16 year old?! They clearly wouldn't have expected to receive a message with personally information in, which incidentally was probably known in advance of the friend request even being made, who are you to judge them for trying to get closure from the interaction?
Load More Replies...Always watch out with online gaming, there are some real creeps hidden in there
People don't realize how easy it is to find out personal info on almost anyone. I cringe when I think of all the decades and generations that have no idea what personal privacy is, of parents posting photos of their kids and babies online. Everyone OKing app permissions, who think online surverys are fun and not getting a ton of personal info from you in sneaky ways. I've read of asses who claim to talk to the dead and are famous because they had staff that'd go collect license plates numbers from cars in the parking lot, and they'd run them, get the person's intimate info with a few quick searches and then call on that person in the audience and magically know everything about them. Every. pic. you post on social media belongs, legally, to the place you're posting it. Some people leave location data on them. Same with Cloud Storage. If someone moves and you send a letter with your return address on it and "address correction requested" it will be returned with your new address.
That's so scary, I've got chicken skin, imagining that someone know the kind of porn movies I Google in anonymous mode.

This happened when I was around 16 or 17. I was on a bus and in my school’s sport uniform. Then I got a text from an unsaved number asking “are you not cold in those thin clothes?” (It was a chill morning)
So looked around inside the bus immediately and got another text: “stop looking you’re not going to find me.”
Would be blocking the number, changing mine and taking a different bus route.
Block the number yes, but you shouldn't have to change your routine. Get that bastard arrested.

It says "unsaved" number, so someone knew the number and probably used a new number to prank him/her.

I once had a 55 year old stalker. He came into my job everyday for a year before he introduced himself to me. Never said a word to me in person. But he wrote me a 5 page introduction letter. He wrote about how special I am and how my boyfriend doesn't deserve me, that I need a special kind of love. He wrote about how perfect he could be for me and he has what it takes to please me. He wrote about how our interests are similar and about how he can take care of me. He mentioned many things I have talked about with other customers while he must have been present in the store. He also left me presents. Two antique glass heart ornaments. He left the letter and presents on my car where I parked in the lot out back. It was creepy as hell because I was closing that night by myself and locked up and left by myself. And I didn't find this out until later, but he lived in the house that bordered the back lot. So he was probably watching me through the blinds (later realized he was watching me through his blinds for some time and he wouldn't stop) as I was reading the letter. I honestly thought it was some kind of joke! I thought it was from these boys in town just making fun of me. Anyway, the messages kept coming so eventually I had to contact the police. And it turns out it really was this 55 year old man with an unusual obsession against me so I did have to get a restraining order and he was no longer allowed to step foot in my job. Nor was I allowed to leave work alone. I was also 20 at the time. So creepy.
What is it with some older men thinking they need/deserve some barely adult? There is no way you have much in common. It is creepy.
My mother died 12 years before my father, after 60 years of marriage. He had been a really good-looking guy when he was younger, and very popular with the ladies until he met my mother, who was a total knockout. Anyway, after she died, he started getting it in his head he was STILL that young stud, and would seriously flirt with women even younger than I am (and I was born when he was 43). If you mentioned it to him, he’d always very seriously say that they had a crush on him, that they were attracted to him, that they wanted him. Um, no they didn’t, they were just nice women. He truly believed he was still Young Studly, even into his nineties. I supposed if he had better knees and more energy, he might even have..no, I don’t want to think about that. Yikes.

Not entirely true. So people do have a thing for older people.
Load More Replies...I got stalked by two men at the same time at 17. One used to live across the road, knew my routine and made sure to leave before me every morning, wait around the corner and slowly follow me to the bus stop and stare at me. The other showed up at the bloody bus stop and used to slowly drive past me over and over and stare at me. He kept offering me rides in his car. He once told me he had two daughters who he wasn't allowed to see anymore. He started showing up in the town I took the bus to and would stand across the road staring at me. Then when I got back to my hometown he'd be there again in his car. Both are still around town but they don't seem to recognise me anymore. First guy actually has a couple of kids now. Second guy hangs around the bus stop all day.
Hopefully you got in the car and locked the door before reading the letter. ALWAYS get in the car and lock the door, always.
My head keeps going back on ones like this to, he comes to your house and either gets shot or his ass kicked when the door opens. Guess it's because of an incident a few years ago where some guy couldn't deal with his ex moving on. Called up the guy and threatened him and told him he was coming to kill him. So he said, come on and try, then called his captain to report it. Sure enough the guy shows up gun in hand so the officer dropped him where he stood. As the body is being loaded up and cops everywhere, guys dad shows up gun in hand to kill him. BAM BAM, dropped him where he stood as well. Wasn't much of an investigation after that.
Erotomania is characterised by someone believing that the other person is intensely in love with them. A person with this condition may believe that the other person is attempting to send them secret messages. They can believe this is happening through the news or even using their thoughts. It is a diagnosable mental illness. That's not really what's being described here.
Load More Replies...I had posted some innocuous comment about a female comedian (whom I wasn't even particularly fond of!), to which some random man took massive offence. Continued to barrage me with the most vile comments (all women who are fat and want to be raped etc.) , I disengage and put my mobile away. Not even ten minutes later he had gone back through all the pictures of the last five years, commenting and getting increasingly graphic with his threats. Culminates in him sending me a message how he would prefer to "rape" my toddler daughter because her "cunt" would be "peachier". Real kicker is that before I blocked him I took a look at his account - no sock puppet/troll, but a man with his smiling kids in his profile pic, employer and scenes of family life. He had no fear sending sexual threats to someone under his own name after one public comment.
This guy is disturbing. To threaten a toddler with rape. Definitely worthy of a police investigation
Screen shot and post to his accounts. The people in his life need a clear view of who they're dealing with.
Definitely. They need to know to avoid him like the plague.
Load More Replies...I agree about sending it to the cops, but imagine this guy's account had been hacked - you could have ruined his life by sending it to his workplace and family. Just playing the devil's advocate here, but it sounds unlikely that a true nutjob would send stuff like that from his own account, and more likely that someone had hacked a stranger.
Well, first, file a report. Always file a report. Next, up your own privacy. Stop talking to people who can manipulate you just by checking out your information.
Burn it down. Burn it all down. Screenshots to wife, mother, employer, friends list--all of it. And then to the cops, who would pay him a visit after he threatened to rape a child. Go full scorched earth. It is the only thing people like this understand.
I was selling a bed on Facebook. Before you start thinking of what could have been sent to me let me to tell you, you’re wrong and it’s worse.
It began with the automated: “Are you still selling this?”
I replied “Yes.”
7 MONTHS later I get a message “Did your kid sleep in it? Did he wet the bed at all?”
I replied “No I slept on it, it’s perfectly clean” (thought to myself well that’s fine I would want to know if a kid had peed on the bed I’m gonna buy, also yes I still hadn’t sold it yet)
He replied “Too bad.”
Then I realized he was only interested in it if a kid had slept in it and peed. Sent chills down my spine that I was possibly talking to a pedophile.
This is where you send the convo to the police. It can help build a record if there is not one yet.
What would the police do? There was no crime committed, and they have bigger fish to fry than some weirdo with a phone.
Load More Replies...That's terrifying. Also - seven months later? Time to lower the price of the item ...
You can find who and where pedophiles are online. If you look, you'll be very surprised at who they are, where they are and more shocking, where they work. Guarantee you stop shopping and/or eating at some places you now frequent.
I was very active in a subreddit devoted to supporting people dealing with a specific mental illness a while back. I was talking about some personal shit. Specifically, I was talking about how I was a victim of a violent crime in high school and about how it messed me up for so long but I think I was starting to get better. That there was hope for this person I was interacting with.
Someone later messaged me saying I deserved what happened to me and they’d gladly do the same to me based on my post history.
I deleted that account and got into therapy. That shit messed me up.
I bet they did that to a lot of people thinking that it is funny to trigger them. I cannot stand people like that. It is such a terrible thing to do. :(
That's why I don't even bother reading messages in my inbox on Reddit. First one I ever got was in response to a post about my grandma's death and jokingly talked about how she was maggot food now. I responded that I was glad my grandmother was feeding the earth because she was always so warm and generous in life and that I felt sad for that person not having anyone like my grandma to be an example of how you should treat people. Then I blocked them and never looked at my inbox again.

Good on you for seeking help. I hope the person who messaged you is burning in hell right now.
One of my neighbors messaged me asking if I had recently been on the elevator. Because he could smell it. Said I was clearly ovulating, very fertile, and that triggered his male senses.
There's like 60 apartments in my building. But he was right. Creeped me out.
Yeah, I can smell every time a woman's menstruating. Its NOT acceptable to share this with someone!
Menstruating and ovulating are 2 different things. I wasn't aware that "sensing" either, especially of strangers, was a thing.

He could have just texted the same message to a number of women in the building. Chances are one or more will be at that stage of the cycle.

"Look, I thought I could do it. I can't. It's been six months since it happened and nobody even cares anymore. He's just a kid. I do not want to be any further involved, ask someone else."
About 30 seconds later,
"Oh, sorry, that was just a mistake. I meant to send that to my brother, we're just messing around."
I don't know man.

In this scenario it may well be someone they DO know,. People can have other numbers and use one to deliberately remain anonymous. I'd be just as, or more, worried about that to be honest.

A random number send me a long SMS in which he argue that I shouldn't be f***ing truck drivers for cheap money while I can hook up with him and his rich friends for much more money. I replied that I am a guy and he probably has the wrong number, to which he replied that he knew who am I and gave me my university dorm address. I blocked him instantly but it creeped me so much then. It may be a prank but it didn't sound like one, and I was an international student there so I didn't really have friends who would prank me like this.
Well, if you’re actually a man telling this, then that insight should help you understand how creeped out and scared to death women get about it.

A man ten years older than me sent me a long message declaring his undying love for me, said he was going to leave his wife and kids for me how he couldn't stop thinking of me and he wanted to be with me forever and how he'd divorce her so we could be together...I was 18 and barely said a few words to him
Hah similar happened to me at 18. It was my horse riding instructor. He said he'd leave his wife and kids for me. Then 2 years after I left I started getting emails from him. Eventually he got the message and stopped.
A guy was writing me on Grindr. I wasn't interested, so I said I wasn't interested. He keeps persisting that we should meet tonight. I was like w/e, stopped responding. Then he said he would take his car to come find me. When i refreshed the app I saw the distance drop from 3000m to 200m. He was like "I'm close now". Then I blocked him, turned off all lights in my apartment (I live on the 1st floor). Now I'm careful to have distance showing on dating apps...
People need to stop assuming dating apps are full of nice, sane, stable people.
People need to turn off location. Allowing your life to sound like a horror movie only works the first few times.
Part of the reason I won’t live in a ground floor apartment. That and the herd of elephants upstairs at 2 in the morning.
It wasn’t the message that was creepy it was the details.
I got a friend request and a message on FB from some dude with a car as his profile pic. The message was just something like, “Hey, remember me?” I didn’t and had to be like who are you.
It turned out it was this dude from a Chinese restaurant near my house. He remembered my name from my debit card and searched me out.
That happened to me at a museum in Costa Rica. He wasn’t even the guy who processed the ticket transaction. I think he said all of 2 words to me.
I read about a pharmacist who abused his access to confidential information to contact a customer and creepily proposition her. While he was married with kids, no less. The woman very sensibly turned him in, and he lost his job and probably his marriage as well. Serves him right.
My daughter went to a spine/back specialist with her boyfriend recently, the BF's appointment not hers. Six hours later the Dr. sent her an IG friend request (her account is private).
Is it just me or does the picture of the noodles make everyone else hungry as well?
I'd call the restaurant and make a huge complaint. IT may also be illegal to use details obtained while processing credit card for anything other than the transaction being authorized.
Worked for a national chain store , worker from another store made a note of a phone number while entering the warranty information for a female customer. He called her that night, her husband answered. Things didn't fair well for the employee the next day once HR and LP got in on it. We found out because the company sent out a reminder of what should be common sense = confidentiality of customer info.
Once at airport in Belgium me and my friend went to buy food and my friend bought with her boyfriends credit card. The guy at till read the name from card and said he'll remember it and add her on Facebook. We just laughed since he had no idea it was pretty clearly Finnish male name
I got a text from a wrong number and all it said was “he won’t be bothering you anymore, I took care of it”
With no backstory, there's no reason to believe the text is nefarious. Could be a boss texting an employee to let them know a problem customer has been banned and accidentally sent it to the wrong number. Could be a person letting a neighbor know their kid won't mess with their garden gnomes anymore.

If it doesn’t happen twice just leave it. It was most likely just some kids messing around.
I think it was an exterminator trying to text someone saying he took care of the rat in their house and typed the wrong number. Although maybe someone murdered someone annoying and typed wrong number. Idk. !ets hope it was the exterminator thingy

Unless you're Christian Slater with a baboon heart, that is creepy af.
Guys, this is not impressive. It’s frightening and controlling. Stop being sleezy & thinking it’s some sort of compliment. It’s not. It just means you’re insecure & believe that forcing your will on someone will make you important to them. It won’t. It’ll only grant you a spot on the “Psychotic infants to avoid” list. Just. Yuck. Gross.
If someone wants to walk you home they should offer upfront and accept the answer given. Doing it without checking it with the other person first is not okay. If someone thinks it is they need to get a reality check. If you have to do it without their knowledge then it is definitely not okay.

This happened in 2012-2013 when we were living in an apartment in the city. My wife and I were out shopping one day when I noticed I had a missed call. Checked to see who from and it was from our land-line.. We didn't live with anyone else and my phone was brand new so no one even had my new number yet either. I had a voicemail so we checked that. It was just the phone hanging up. Quiet and then the dead tone. Very weird and creepy.
Maybe it was a toddler messing with a phone and the mom made him hang up and u heard it
Are you sure it wasn't you trying to find your cell phone at home before you keft?
Sorry but I think this is an urban myth, I've heard it so many times with some variations.
It happens, I've had my own number call me. Scammers do it
Load More Replies...This would be a mistake on the part of the phone company. They're not supposed to reassign number for a period of time so things like this don't happen. Of course, even now, some people don't understand you have to dial area codes, especially if you're not in your own area and then when they get the local with that same number they want to argue. I've had it happen.
I think the point is that he got a phone call from his own landline, indicating someone was in his apartment. If it would just be someone calling thinking the number still belonged to someone else, it works originate from any other unknown number...

I run a gift card business that is specifically destined to be in my small country. I make the card, we plan on a meetup, I give them the card, I get paid, we go our separate ways.
I got a message from a guy, wanting a card for a friend's birthday. All fine, I made the card, and we met up. I got my money, and we left. A week later, I got a text from him. Thinking it might be a thank you, or a review, as I often get those, I checked it, but it just said: "I like your shirt."
This got me a little suspicious, as I was wearing my favourite shirt that had a transformers logo on it, so I just replied with a "Thanks", and moved on. Then I got a message almost immediately after I put it down, saying, "I like transformers too."
I immediately got paranoid and moved away from where I was sitting. I then replied with a warning that I will call the police on him, and that I had his number, and that I still remembered what he looked like. He backed off after that.
My business is still running, but I'm much more careful now.
at least you still remembered how he looked etc. in case you needed it
I have a feeling this might not be a creeper. She said it was a small town and they've done business before so he'd know what she looks like and have a reason for having her number. It was a week later. Most likely saw her in town, which is small.
Yrs. ago, I had a guy kept calling me, wouldn't quit. Not enough back then for police to do anything, but I had a real good friend in the city police dept. Talked to him about it, and he set up a scenario for me to tell the guy I wasn't interested but I had a friend who was... and gave him the cops private work phone number (he was a detective so he worked out of an office,) and gave him the number. Never got called back after my cop friend talked to him.
Don't get me wrong... this is bad social skills. But it's sad that someone has to be so scared by something which MAY have been nothing more than bad social skills. Not wrong of her, just sad.
Yeah, no, if you just want to say hi, just say hi or even just walk by, in full view of other members of the public, and say oh hi, I'm so and so I've bought your cards, nice to see you, have a good day and LEAVE if they don't engage further

When I was around thirteen, I got a text message saying something like "I'm the tooth fairy, make a wish." I asked the person who they were, they kept trying to get me to tell them what I wanted. My mom and I promptly called the police.
Still creeped out by it...
If you have the presence of mind then perhaps go with something like "that you'll never contact me again in any way, shape, or form". Though some people take any answer as a positive one so maybe the best option is to just block, report, and then ignore.
The tooth fairy doesn't exist and 13-year-olds know that. Duh! Scam callers you should know that
When my kids were young, had some girls that kept calling (land line). I got fed up with them because my son had already told them to stop calling and I had too. One call to the operator was all it took. Phone company contacted their local police who paid the home a visit. The parents of course had no idea. The girls got in trouble, we know because the father called and made them apologize. Not sure about how cell companies handle things but Ma Bell doesn't tolerate phone harassment. My understanding at the time was the father was told if it happened again his service would be suspended.
What phone companies get this involved in kids doing prank calls? Why not do the most likely thing and block the number or withheld numbers?

I had a girlfriend that did a brisk business selling panties, shoes and phone sex. She wasn't 15 and that someone should be in jail until hell freezes over or the heat death of the universe.

It was funny to hear her in the next room over talking to these guys, describing kinky acts and sexy clothes, while she was dressed in sweats or doing he nails. She bought undies at COSTCO. Not sure if she paid taxes on it.
I had someone I didn't know on FB that was local ask me to send him my dirty panties. I posted his photo everywhere.

Most likely her account had been hacked for a while and the hacker hadn't learned of her passing. I've crossed paths with some in the past. If you engage them, it doesn't take much back and forth before you trip them up with things they can only guess at.
Load More Replies...It happens. My parents once went to England and while there, my mom's brother texted them something. A year or two when they were going again, they received the same text.
Could've been a text caught in the system that finally went through or it could've been a masked number.
I accidentally got talking to a crazy Christian chick who was engaged to get married in a few months. Her husband is a ginger and I am also - turns out she has a major fetish for them. One day she was talking to me online while playing a modded version of the Sims video game. She popped up and said "hey, look what I built". She sends me a few screenshots of the game: turns out she'd made myself and her husband in a gay relationship on the game. The details were scarily accurate with the face / body creation. The first screenshot I got was me, in game, naked (the mod has full nude Sims with penises and all) with my legs spread on a kitchen bench with her husband fucking me in the ass. Yes, I still have the pictures. I slowly stopped talking to her after that.
Dropping a person slowly might be better - they may be less reactive.
Load More Replies...What does her being a Christian have to do with this story? I'm only asking because every post I see where someone says, "A typical Black-American guy" (a few posts above} or "this Chinese guy...} many jump on it and ask what that had to do with the comment.
It reveals a bit of a prejudice, doesn't it? People add the extra detail as if it matters, even though literally any kind of person is capable of that behavior.

Someone said “You looked really good in your blue dress today” fake fb profile, didn’t have any pictures and I was wearing a blue dress.
I received a recycled number and the previous owner had used it everywhere from his bank to shopping websites so I used to get a lot of spam. I even tried to explain to the bank when they called regarding the account. One day someone added me on Snapchat through my phone number and upon seeing my Snapchat story, a 35 year old woman replied to my story of watching Star wars by saying "I attended your funeral."
I still have my mom's number saved and she died in 2015. About a year ago I got an alert on telegram "Mom just joined Telegram".
I still have my beloved late uncle's number saved on my phone, one day I was scrolling through WhatsApp and saw his name with a photo of a young girl. Kick in the guts :'(
Load More Replies...I've had businesses call me looking for people because they go by phone number when accepting checks. One, on the third call insisted I was who they were looking for and just wouldn't admit it. That was it, i told them I'd be right there and prove I wasn't him, explained how ignorant it is of them to use only the phone number as an identification method as people can tell them anything, as in this case. I then told them if they wanted to find so and so, to try calling HIM, his number is xxx-xxxx and he lives at xxx. Another used my number for the hospital, I got on a first name basis with the nice lady in AP at the hospital. She was very appreciative when I told her where the person she was seeking lives.
Hoping it was just someone fucking with me. Note dropped in my locker in 10th grade with a pretty simple, quite creepy poem. It read: Roses are red, Violets are blue, If you ever feel alone, I'm always watching you :) Might've been a prank because there was never any followup.
Honestly, dude probably thought he was being sweet. I chalk this one up to misguided youth and bad flirting.
"those years when people don't know any better" That's bullsh*t. At that age, I knew better then to talk like this.
Load More Replies...Got a message from someone on Reddit asking me how no one had killed me yet.
True story: I've (technically) died twice. When someone threatens to kill me, I like to tell them "Others have tried. Didn't stick."
Load More Replies...Answer back “Oh, you’re alive? I guess my assassins have failed. Again.”
"That's where you are wrong" I would answer, "I am dead. I am taking a Udemy course on how to haunt the living, so I'll get back to you".
Nah... has to be one of them so called self proclaimed "god fearing family values patRIOTIC reTHUGlicunt". Only those are the once running around with guns and storming capitals.
Load More Replies...Somebody went through my post history and found a photo I took where the ends of my shoes are visible. Dude then proceeded to demand feet pics and sent me very creepy pms
I've been approached in public for this same reason. People saying I have pretty feet, asking to take pictures, and the like. I laugh about it, but it's still unsettling.
I was running late for work one morning, a couple years ago, and got a phone call from a local number I didn't recognise. Asked who was calling and a deep, muffled voice said something like "it's Mike". I didn't know any Mikes and figured it was a wrong number, so I said as much, hung up and kept getting ready. Then I heard my phone go off again. And again. And again. Checked my texts and I had a series of messages like "I'm at the hotel" "I'm opening the door to your room" "You're naked on the bed" etc. from the same number. I'd had enough by that point so I replied "If this is (friend who loved to pull pranks), fuck you. And if this is a psychopath, can we do this later? I'm late for work. Thanks". They replied "You're funny, bye" and that was the last I heard from them. Grilled all of my friends and I'm sure none of them were behind the messages. ETA: I'm from Quebec, I knew one Mike (former friend's bf) but that's literally it. I know a whole lot of Alexandres and Gabriels though. I'm loving these replies :')
Not me, but my mom. My mom was selling shoes on Craigslist and got a message from a man who I guess basically had a foot fetish and also some sort of female domination fetish? He was like, “I’m a very submissive guy. I have some fish net stockings that I think would look great on you...” without ever seeing my mom. Anyway, needless to say she was very creeped out.
A dude chose to open a conversation by declaring “I have beautiful eyes”.
He also included a picture.
It wasn’t of his eyes.
Why do men do d**k pics? Do they ever evoke a reaction beyond disgust?
I suppose laughter is always a possibility, but what do I know? I'm a man and I don't even want to look at mine.
Load More Replies...One of my guy friends asked "What makes you think it's his d**k? Probably found a really good pic and fakes out everyone."
But that's just because it's very hard to take a pic of it. (If you don't understand why, you might want to re-read about female anatomy, it's available with just one google)
Load More Replies...Used to live across the street from the high school. There was a field out back where the football players would practice. We had just moved there to a new town and so I didn't really know anyone yet. I was just at home one night, scrolling Facebook on the family computer in the main room when I got a FB message from a kid I kinda knew the name of but hadn't talked to. He told me I looked good and he was happy that he knew where I lived. I think he was trying to be funny and break the ice but I often think about how hard he must cringe looking back. It was like the start of a teenage stalker horror movie.
I got it forwarded to me on social media from a girl I knew. There was a girl who went to my highschool, she was obviously interested in me but I had friend zoned her but found her pleasant company at least. We used to ride the bus together and socialize a bit on breaks. She would often bring me coffee and stuff with the morning bus. Anyway it turned out she was obsessed and would write to this other girl about her fantasies and told her how she planned to mix a lovepotion into my coffee. I got forwarded all these stories, details and plans she'd been thinking up over a year. Quite scary shit.
It's disgusting either way. It doesn't matter what the genders are. This is creepy behavior and not acceptable.
Load More Replies...All I see here is a crush. And love potion? Chances are she just read harry potter and made a bad joke/reference.
Because girls, by definition, can't be psychopaths? Does the name Jodi Ann Arias ring a bell?

Load More Replies...I saw a video ages ago about a woman who had been pulled over by the police for some sort of driving violation. The cop said he drove past her and thought she looked really cute, so he turned his car around and was now right behind her. He then said he ran her plates to see if there was any reason at all to pull her over, so he could use it as an excuse to ask her out. Turns out she had an unpaid speeding ticket, which was great news for him as it gave him that excuse. The police obviously arrested him, he was charged and kicked out of the police as a result. Crazy narcissist.
These are not just creepy but scary too. I hope majority if not all of these people were reported, stopped or caught and charged.
Not nearly as creepy as most of these. But once I got a Facebook message from someone saying something like "I understand what he saw in you now and why he couldn't forget you" or something weird like that. I had been out with friends the night before at a club type place and I don't know if that had anything to do with it or if it was random. But anyway, I replied with something like "who are you and what are you taking about" and this person proceeded to tell me that they moved into a house and found whole lot of letters that someone had written to me but never sent to me but left in the house hidden in a wall or something stupid. I asked who were these supposed letters from and they replied "from X" (my horrible, awful, abusive, psychopathic ex boyfriend I had escape from 8 years earlier). I immediately blocked the person and then deleted all of my social media profiles. I'm pretty sure it was X himself.
A lot of these posts should be enough to delete or change your personal information on social media. It still baffles me how much info people post on social media that makes it easy for a psychopath to track them without any effort. Cross reference Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, check Tiktok and you know more about a person than their family does. Don't they know that they are making themselves sitting ducks for any psychopath out there? And this also goes for idiotic parents who post videos on youtube about their kids and their "perfect family life".
If you ever experience anything like this, keep a record of when/what and always contact the police. Even if they can't do anything, you can have the record of it. At some point, you may need them to respond to something worse, or you may need a restraining order, and having the record of your actions and their actions will help.
'I'm in your house with your wife' Cable installation guy in Malaysia, translated from Mandarin. Everything was good. But still.
I got pressured into getting on FaceBook by relatives about 15 or 16 years ago and learned the value of privacy settings just two days in. Some guy sent me a flirty message telling me he loved my photograph and thought I was beautiful, and could we get together, blah blah blah. I was a grey haired middle aged woman at the time. The privacy settings were implemented that day.
My cell number when I still had one 20 years ago belonged to a charmer who got regular calls from a state prison. Since I wasn't taking the calls, I got some interesting messages, then tossed the phone, told the company about the issue with the number, and havent had a cell since.
My partner got issued a number like that. The previous owner of it had clearly led an "interesting" life and had a lot of people very angry at him. My partner asked for a different number about a week later.
