See how I'm staring at you? Do you? Do you really? If a human, a big human, not the tiny ones, ever stares at you like that and they aren't related to you, in a relationship with you, or whatever, then you better run far far away. Don't believe me? Well I have a case study that proves it. It is the poor life and times of this naive woman. Let's call her...
LMF. If only she listened to the cat then they never would have found her pink boots by the docks.
The Nice Person Who Wasn't A Stalker
(But...let's call him J...really, really, really was.)
Oh, cat. I'm so lucky where I work. I have a guy who will do anything for me. He is just so nice. He is a genuine nice guy. So so so nice. It is so nice.
Is this some sort of test? Are you trying to see how many times you can say nice?
No. He is truly that nice. Let me list the ways.
"sighs" Here we go. If you must make me endure this again.
#1. He opens the door for me.
Wow. Now that is nice. He makes sure you don't touch the germy doorknobs so you won't be sick when he grabs you.
#2. He takes me out for lunch and pays.
Well it is nice of him to feed you and keep you plump while he stalks you.
#3. He carries in things for me.
Nice of you to let him build muscle strength by carrying your purse. Which he probably swipes little items out of for his shrine to you.
#4. He stands up for me to the bosses.
He wouldn't want you to get fired. You'd be harder prey then.
#5. He leaves me little gifts on my desk.
And he probably takes other things for his shrine while he's in there.
#6. He uses no foul language around me.
That's nice. Stalkers don't want you to know what they are really thinking anyway.
#7. He asks about my life. Like really seems interested.
Because what stalker wouldn't need to know your schedule.
#8. He makes sure I get home safely.
He knows where you live. Should I explain this one further? If it hasn't sunk in by now, it never will.
#9. He drops everything to be by my side and help me.
Sigh. Are you done yet? It would be nice if you were.
#10.......
Did you run out of items? Wait. You still there?
Sorry, cat. You are making him feel bad. He is so nice that you can't comprehend that. You and my other friends all just have had bad experiences in the past. But I have to finish. I must. He knows I'm neurotic and loves me anyway.
#10. He only does these things for me. Just me and no one else. Maybe his wife. But he doesn't talk about her much.
No one said a stalker couldn't make you feel all warm and tingly. Of course that may just be your body going numb as you get choked to death.
"I don't want nothing in return. I swear it. But if you were to mention it, our spouses wouldn't have to know."
Oh, J. I know you don't mean it. You are just so nice.
"Nice and ready. Just say the word. You don't want me to pout like this forever, do you? We could go out for dinner and discuss your day. That would be nice."
"Sure. That would be nice. Just let me grab my things."
BREAKING NEWS!!!
This just in. Cat pulls remains from river that are believed to be LMF's. He tried to warn her, but like many humans, she never listened to a cat. If only she had paid attention to the signs, the cat, her friends, hell, even the bum down the street holding that "the world is ending" sign. They all saw it. Let this be a warning to all young men and women out there. When you receive gifts, door hold, compliments, and all kinds of other things and are the only person getting such things, nice may not always be so nice. They want you. Whether dead in the river or in bed. They want you.
And so ends the life and times of poor LMF. She will be missed in blogland. We also hear a cat scratched "I told you so" on her tombstone. That was nice of him.
So is the cat right? Is there such a thing as too nice? Holding a door for someone. Fine. That's nice. But doing it all the time along with 50 other things and only for said person. Doesn't that seem a tad fishy? Ever had a stalker? Are you just a nice nice nice person? If you're married and their married is there such a thing as too nice? I think on such nice people I'll take a pass. No more stalkers for my little rhyming ass.
With little old nice, you may roll the dice.
