The Stalker
From the title, you might be thinking, this is going to be about me, or maybe some psycho who is following me around. It's not. It's about the dim witted, socially naive, and probably a little psycho girl who annoys the hell out of my roommate and me.
My first encounter with her was soon after moving to SF. She had followed John, one of my
two roommates, home after their class. John really didn't want her to, but she's a stalker,
so she did it anywise. She then proceeded to follow him into our apartment. Now, my first
thought was she liked John and was trying to worm her way into our place. She asked
questions very innocently like, "Oh, is this your bed?" or "This picture isn't of your girl
friend, is it?" It was obvious she liked him and it was just as obvious my roommate didn't
like her.
Now being the good roommate and friend that I am, I started to tease him the moment she left. This girl is not the best looking thing ever and my roommate was a little defensive at this point so I could really get under his skin.
Since John was so defensive I would occasionally tease him after her initial visit and I branded her with the name the stalker. For the next couple of weeks he would tell me how annoying she was in class and then I would bug him a little. It just seemed like this girl had a harmless crush. Then out of nowhere we get a knock on the door and it is her. Guess
what, she had moved in down stairs. That scared us a little. Then she started coming by at the worst times. While we were watching our favorite shows or doing homework. She was always over and she couldn't catch a clue. We would completely ignore
her or tell her, while doing our homework, that we were busy, but she wouldn't leave. And neither of us had the heart to tell her to get lost.
While she was over, all she did was talk and talk and talk. And of course what she talked
about was absolutely nothing. Sometimes she would complain about how bad she was doing in
school, but then tell us she never did homework.
Fucking moron.
And while complaining, she would simultaneously manage to make it harder for us to do our
homework.
If we're lucky she will just flunk out of school.
Oh, I just remembered why I started writing about her in the first place. What led her to
being significant enough for me to bother writing about was what happened last weekend.
A few days earlier she came by, like usual, during a bad time, and started telling us how
she kept between $300 and $500 in cash in her purse and that someone had stolen the money from her room. On hearing this I felt bad because you know I'm not always a Senseless Bastard. Who would
have thought? I asked her why she didn't put the money in the bank. She said her bank was
only in LA. Okay, but why hadn't she gotten one in SF? She said she was just being
lazy.
Dumb Ass. And she wonders why her money was stolen.
Still, being the good guy I am, I offered to go with her to the bank and help her get a new
account. So we go down to the bank and start talking to an account manager. She is all
ready to go when the manager asks her for a drivers license and a second ID, like a credit
card. Get this. She had lost them and had never bothered to go out and get new ones, much less
cancel the old ones. So I had wasted my time helping her out when she was to incompetent
to get the basic things replaced.
This is what I get for being a nice guy.
On the way back I was disgusted and baffled at how this 19-year-old girl was so
stupid, and at how she had to have someone hold her hand throughout life, that I
couldn't even talk to her. After that, we went to our separate apartments and from now on I told John to tell her that we're busy, so get fucking lost. Hell, John is starting to get sick of her,
and he was actually starting to like her as a friend.
This girl and those like her make me sick. I don't think there is anything wrong
with receiving help once in a while, but when you are totally dependent on others
you become pathetic and helpless. That is why the people in my life are independent
and freethinking. There is nothing more unappealing and unattractive then someone
like this girl.
