Oh dear, it's 10.30, your tired, irritable and only stumbled on facebook in order to respond to a comment on your status...
You've already blocked dear G from contacting you on msn, yet somehow he hasn't gotten the hint yet :S. Poor G, he's not quite grasped the idea that he is the bane of your internet existence.
Sure, the lad means well. He has good intentions. He's probably just trying to be nice.

Should you reply? Or simply feign ignorance?

*POP*

There it goes again! What could he possibly want?

G says: thanx so much 4 helpin me the other day :)

Well, that's nice; maybe you should respond...

Dais says: You're welcome, G. :D

There, simple, you've not said anything that could possibly provoke or lead him on.

G says: tht was so gd of u! i shall hve 2 repay u i shal tke u out 4 a meal.
Dais says: Honestly, it was nothing. Don't worry about it! :)
G says: No i wnt to repay u. i cud be ur slave :P
Dais says: WTF?
G says: yh, il b ur slave 4 the day. il do whteva u wnt me 2 ;)
Dais says: ........
G says: LET ME B UR SLAVE!!!

You cast your wild eyes round in desperation, hopelessly searching for a way out, tryi-

Oh dear Lord, you just want to go to sleep!!
Everytime you pop on facebook you are subject to an onslaught of illegible word vomit from people who you neither like nor care for. It sounds harsh... but they never give up!
They type and type and type endless amounts of gabble until the *POP*s begin to resemble the sweet sound of machine gun fire.
You find yourself carefully scanning the chat list before you dare continue your route through the depths of sunny cyberspace.
You live in fear for your internet social life as these parasites storm your browser.
You panic. Your breathing becomes shallower, faster. The hairs on your arm stand on end.
You SCREAM!!!

Cyberstalking...
Don't do it children.



Okay, so I'll admit that this post got a little strange towards the end... I think I am exhausted from a hectic day of theatre and the family :)
But still, my own personal cyberstalkers deserve restraining orders! They simply won't p*ss off!! Yes, this is developing into a rant... but I'm sure there are lots of others in a similar situation.
This post is based on a true story experienced by moi tonight.
(In the words of Mrs Wesley-Gibbs)
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

Night night xx
