Off Topic Yay!
I have just been reminded of another story that could have been posted under stalkers, and seeing as this topic seems to be generally unappreciated, here is my Stalker Mach II offering. I hope it's not too rude of me to be posting a story from the closed question here.. But hey, fuck it.

When I was still in school I had a group of three friends, one other girl and two boys. Nick had a birthday during our first year of university and Beca and I made it down to Bristol to celebrate with him. Paul was enterting his phase of being unsociable so didn't come. He came to regret that :)

I had searched far and wide for a suitable birthday present for Nick, and eventually I found the perfect thing! It was a plushy Zippy toy (from Rainbow) and when you pressed his tummy he said 'You know, I really am very, very clever.' in this somewhat creepy tone of voice. Nick loved it! And of course the alcohol flowed.

Later that night we fell to bitching about Paul's lack of presence at our get togethers recently. We all lived mostly in the south, it shouldn't have been too challenging. So we decided to play a prank on him to punish him. We hid the caller ID on Nick's phone, dialled Paul and when he answered we pressed Zippy, let him do his bit and then promptly hung up!

And yes, this is where we got a little stalkerish. From then on, whenever two out of the three of us got together, out would come Zippy and we'd prank call Paul! Hilarity! This went on for the best part of a year before we finally all managed to get together for a summer party at Nick's place.

We're larking about and having a general giggle, alcohol is once again flowing freely and all manner of fun is being had! (take that how you will :D) And eventually Nick decides that maybe, perhaps, our stalker tendencies need to be nipped in the bud before we started getting frightening. He collected the Zippy toy and threw it at Paul who caught it with glee! Who doesn't love Rainbow after all? Unfortunately Paul pressed poor Zippy's tummy as he caught him and Zippy did his bit marvellously! I must admit, I thought I would die laughing at the look on Paul's face :D

Apparently he had gotten so paranoid about these phone calls and voice messages that he had come to the point of being about a week off of changing his phone number..

I would feel guilty if it hadn't been quite as funny :D
