my work stalker chilled after i caught him walking into my cube during off hours ... but recently, i've noticed activity.

A good friend of mine sits over where he sits, in another entire wing of my office building. When I go over to talk to him, stalker (aka, tetley) starts doing the gopher thing - popping his head up every 45 seconds to look at me. Or to see if I'm gone. Or to burn the vision of me into memory so he can sculpt me into a slab of bath soap.

Now, I ~know~ I shouldn't poke a bear. But I'm stupidly curious to see what he'd do if I'd, say, go over and invite him to lunch. What would that lunch hour be like? See. This is my problem. me = cat. him = curiosity.

    Oh... have I been there, done this. Proceed with caution!

    I bet he would break into a profuse sweat trying to remember the lines he has been quietly crafting for the past several months.
    And then he would probably pass out.

    Lunch hour? I bet he would just sit and giggle and spill his water. Several times.

    After lunch have someone check his cache for tips on kidnapping and hidden surveillance.

    see. that's funny.

    on the other hand, he could be trying to visualize how my dismembered body would fit inside his freezer.

    I think you should get the excellent fart app from iTunes. Then when you walk by his cubicle set it off. See if he still thinks your so sexy!

    Doesn't happen as often in real life as in the movies...

    You call him your stalker, which implies you have some level of fear of him. To me, inviting him to lunch is potentially dangerous and misleading. I would really reconsider.

    I had the same thing happen to me at a former job. After weeks of weird stares from this "regular" customer, I decided to go say "Hello." When I did he looked shocked that I even noticed he was there and he just left. Never saw him again.....weird. Def. proceed with caution. Sounds harmless though!

    I would just ignore him, but always watch your back when walking to your car :) Sounds pretty creepy.

    He may just be too shy to ask you out??? Socially awkward??? Or just a stalker???

    What do your co-workers say about the situation?

    I just picture Dwight Shcrewt (sp?)... Poking his head out of the cube to look at you. lmao.

    Long ago when I was young and not so wise, I too liked to poke bears and play with mice. Not only is it a bad idea, but it sounds to me like you secretly like this attention and are seeking it out. Stop it before he gets the wrong idea.

    Don't claim him as yours in the first place and if you really believe he is stalking you then you need to report it to the authorities - management at work. Stalking isn't a funny game and while it may not happen as much in real life as in the movies it does happen. Do you detect him 'stalking' you outside of work? If so then you need to do something now, now wait until something stupid, or dangerous, happens.

    Wonderful advice and well said.

    If you have to use the restroom during lunch, discreetly put some superglue on the edge of your plates and on your utensils. In case he goes to caress them lovingly. Or even worse, lives up to his nickname.

    That awkward moment when your lunch companion is caught teabagging your fork...
