» Stalked

Schoolgirl stalkers
I was very shy when I was younger and wouldn't say boo to a goose.

When I was in upper 6th (many years ago!), I got stalked for the entire year by two girls in the lower 6th. I still have no idea why. They'd be on the balcony overlooking the foyer and stare down at me when I was signing-in in the morning....they'd make sure they were just in front of me walking down the drive at the end of the day so they could turn-round, stare, whisper to each other and then giggle...they even turned-up outside my classroom just before a lesson once and stood staring in at me.

I wish to god I'd just told them to fuck off! The general theory of my friends was that they were a pair of wierdo lesbians. Whatever their reasons, they must have been extremely bored if they thought stalking me was fun!

» Why I was late

Late Homework
Many years ago a friend of mine actually did have the excuse that the dog ate her homework - she was making a picture frame for an art class out of pasta, spray-painted gold, and woke-up in the middle of the night to the sound of crunching.

Luckily the paint and glue turned-out to be non-toxic!

» I witnessed a crime

Shoplifter
I was walking towards my local Sainsbury's one evening when a young guy, wearing the inevitable baseball cap, appeared pushing a trolley full of electrical goods, closely followed by a Sainsbury's security guard.

The thief turned-round and said 'if you don't stop following me I'll kill you'. The security guard turned straight round and headed back to the store.

And me? I made sure I was looking studiously at all the, by then closed and shuttered, shop windows as he passed me.

I toyed with the idea of phoning the police, but was worried I'd get death threats if it ever got to court!
