There was this kid in school...
He was definately a "special" child in high school. We'll call him Bob. He was one of those jkids who was mentally about five minutes behind everyone else and even some of the meaner teachers would lay into him from time to time..
I always kind of felt sorry for him.. being a social outcast of sorts myself (I was - to my shame - a library nerd *cringe*) so I felt obliaged to be nice to him and talk to him every now and then.

Zoom forward to present day...
Through the marvels of Stalkbook he has found me and added me to his friends. He has also gotten my number off my page (goddamn privacy options re-setting themselves!) and is calling me... ALL THE TIME...!

I mentioned in passing that anyone who was passing through Bristol to look me up for a drink.. its just something you say.. you don't MEAN it!
but he thinks i do and is asking when I'm free next so he can come for a bevvie.. not cos he's passing through.. just to see me. I lie and say i'm busy with work stuff..

then its getting close to my birthday and someone's added an event to the book of the face and he's calling again to ask details..

I lie.. i say its a ticket only event and we've run out already.

I feel bad but it saves me from having to babysit him all night amongst a bunch of people he won't know or make an attempt to get to know. Anyway I don't want to be coherent let alone actually sociable to visitors!

he still invites me to every application under the sun on that goddamn book.,. i always refuse and sometimes he calls to ask me why.

why do i have to be so nice?

*pop goes my B3TA cherry* edit: its not a great story but I was sick of just reading.. wanted to join in!

I knew someone like this at school
We put up with him but really didn't like him one bit... He hasn't started stalking me yet, but his social skills at school consisted solely of flirting with people. So stalking could be the next step.
Ok, I'm scared now.

And the story was pretty good, welcome.
