To the asshole who followed me home last week:
You had the audacity to watch me wait for the bus, watch me on the bus, and follow me as I zig-zagged through my complex. Fuck you. I am new to the city, I am a tiny girl, and it was late at night. Go get real glasses, take off the Canadian tuxedo and the red baseball cap. You lonely, lonely, son of a bitch. —Skinny Ontarionion

Hey martym, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

Sorry about your apparent stalker experience, OP, but it could have been innocent (you don’t give too many details in this story). Maybe he just thought you were cute and was getting on that bus and off at the same stop anyway. Maybe he had just been watching Lionel Richie’s “Hello” music video and thought that’s still the best way to get chicks:

“Is it me you’re looking for…”
What exactly is a Canadian tuxedo?

ohh thanks pg… I”vve never heard of that before.
i had heard of them but thought it meant a plaid shirt…*mouse Ears* the avatar
Thanks 🙂
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG.
When I clicked on that I literally got diet z up up my nose so I didn’t burst out randomly laughing at work.
I LOVE IT. That’s almost as good as POW.
My avatar? I just wanted a kick ass purplefire chick lol
I treat these kinds of incidents seriously. Risk management and ‘worst case scenarios’ are part of my job. If you get followed again, call the police.
Of course, this guy might really be a neighbour of yours, so there is that to consider. But a ‘tiny girl’ should take no chances.
But if you don’t mind my asking – what the hell is an ‘Ontarionion’? Is that some kind of veggie or does the ‘-onion’ part give this away as a fake bitch?
A little advice. The next time someone follows you, do not ever go to your residence. Find a cop, use your cell, go into a business, etc and call the police. unfortunately now this idiot (innocent or not) now knows where you live or a very good idea.
Simple rules, call the police or go into a business, if being followed and lock your doors and windows. This is for everyone from a 90lb ballerina to a 300lb construction worker, male or female.
maybe you should watch your back, oh, did you call the cops, after you took his picture with your phone camera. you didn’t, well then, next time do it. if you have something to give the cops, then you are better off, than coming here to bitch and do nothing else, sorry, but that’s the way it goes.
Commendante: An Onion that thinks it’s better than every other onion.
And we used to call that: The Mississauga tuxedo
Good advice Bro Tim… and LS is right too! As an ‘R’ victim I can tell you, you can never be to hyper-aware. No matter who you are. I learned the hard way…
jeez rosie, sorry to hear that happened to a nice person like you. did he get what he deserved?
Sorry PF, I meant PG and the canadian tuxedo link!
Sad *mouse ears* LeRoseNoir. Rooooooo. >: (
LS: If by getting what he deserved you mean married with four kids and a house… Lots of counselling… anger and residual fear… I do pay attention now though… a lot! The soul may be battered, but the spirit rocks!
lovin your battered soul…me love me turtle dove. rawk
*mouse ears* PG! I wasn’t going to mention it, but everyone should pay attention when out. Turn down the iPod and watch what is going on around them. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Better paranoid than sorry. Day or night. I got it at 4pm… and I wasn’t paying attention.
aah squshie face monty…good advice rosie. back to the tuxedo, everyone i asked thought it was a plaid jacket. after exhaustive research-nope it’s denim. please pay attention peoples
Yeah the plaid jacket, jeans and kodiaks were know as ‘The Scarborough tuxedo’ when I was a teen.
did you ever wear your jeans in the bathtub so they’d shrink? you had to lie flat on your back to do the zipper up…fashion folly^^
PG, do you remember Raquel Welch in Hannie Caulder. She takes a bath in her jeans to make them fit, later:
Hannie Caulder: Well thank you sheriff.
The Preacher: Any time. Any time at all [slaps her on the butt]
Hannie Caulder: Too bad you’re the only Sheriff in town. I’d a called one.
The Preacher: Your bottom’s wet.
Hannie Caulder: So’s your chin.
Loved that line 🙂
Hahaha! I do remember wearing jeans in the bath tub… I also remember seeing it in Quadrophenia
great movie rosie, i don’t remember that one hg, but mother, jugs and speed was funny. starring a very young mr. cosby and mr. kietel
Tip to the OP: if you’re new to Halifax, ANYONE who lives here can tell you NEVER walk alone in this city.
yeah tbr i lived in scarberia and every second loser… I mean citizen of scarborough was decked out in this uniform 🙂
jeez rose, i was hoping the fucker got his ass roasted or worse.sorry again hon. i’m going to tone down my come ons from now on. hope no one gets the idea that i’m a horny fucking sex fiend. just a fiend, thank you very much. but i do like sex to, when i get it. later people.
No worries LS my doll. I kinda like your come ons… in a weird way 😉
martym: No wonder Mike Myers created Wayne and Garth there huh?
party on BR ! 🙂
party on martym! 😀
in that same vein my brother worked as a machinist in Scar. at titan wheels where Jim Carreys’ dad worked and lived on the grounds apparently 🙂 idk just say’n 🙂
thanks BR ,but, alas my party days are over:( 🙂
Oh, martym, I bet you have one party left in you. And since we’re name dropping: Eric and Bunny Myers and their three sons Peter, Paul and Mike moved into our townhouse complex in Scar. when I was around 14 (?). My Dad used to yell at Mike when his friends pulled up in the parking lot playing music too loud. True story.
