With everyone's information all over the web, it almost feels way too easy to unintentionally slip into stalking someone. First, you see them on someone else's Instagram post, then you look up their own page, but, oh no, they're private. So it's time to go on Facebook, let's see, maybe their mom's profile is public.

See how quick that was? Being a stalker can easily be a part of someone's everyday routine!

    Reddit user u/LetsGetTropical33 asked the women of Reddit to share time where they displayed 'stalker-ish' tendencies. I said it once and I'll say it again. We've all been there. Some of us (definitely) more than others, but with everybody posting their whereabouts 24/7 on social media it happens! Unless of course you never use social media. If that's the case please teach me your ways!


  • Font - taoimean 1 year ago In middle school I memorized the license plate number on my crush's mom's van so I could identify it in parking lots and try to look extra cool if he might be inside the place. Edit: Actually, my habit of telling my high school crush that his eyes were so pretty I wanted to cut them out and keep them in a jar is probably worse. 67 Give Award Share Report Save

    Hey, sometimes we just memorize things that happen to be extremely personal. License plates, license numbers, social security numbers... it happens all the time. I think our memory skills just get tripled when we're interested in someone. Cute can turn creepy very quickly. You've been warned.

  • Font - Q J4viator 1 year ago I was watching a new flame sleep once (as you do) feeling all amicable and such. I could tell at one point that he'd woken up and was feigning sleep, probably imagining that I was some sort of bunny boiling psycho, so I decided to lean into it and started muttering to myself about frying his kidneys in a gollum voice. 40 Give Award Share Report Save

  • Font - SupervillainIndiana 1 year ago I cringe when I remember how obvious I was with my crush on a teacher from the ages of 13-16 so you very much have my sympathies. Somehow I managed to work out whenever he wasn't teaching a class so if my teacher was absent there was a good chance he'd be assigned to supervise. If a teacher was off work it didn't matter what the subject was, the original teacher just set some work for us to do while the supervising teacher was there basically to keep an eye

  • Rectangle - zoezie 1 year ago I once had a crush on this guy. I "borrowed" his blanket, slept with it for two nights, sprayed my perfume on it, and then put it back. 12 + Give Award Share Report Save

  • Font - PhinnishPharma 1 year ago I looked up the guy who is now my boyfriend on the student directory at our Uni on the first day I met him. O I only knew his first name and his major. He has a common first name and an even more common surname, but I figured the last name couldn't be his because it's a "white" last name, and my bf is Asian. I ended up searching all the people with his first name and major on Facebook until I found him, but I didn't add him because I didn't want to freak him out.

  • Font - blackwidowinsc 1 year ago I once traded-in a car that I loved deeply. I bought a new car but would periodically drive to the dealership, park and look at my old car. It was horrible. It was finally sold and I would see the new owner out and about in it. Years later I purchased the same type of car and I'm in hog heaven. 10 Give Award Share Report Save

  • Font - nostalgic_asf 1 year ago I had a crush on this guy I saw on the bus a couple of times. I saw him when I went to school in the morning or when I went home from school and sometimes twice a day! Then I didn't see him for a really long time so I promised myself that the next time I see him I have to ask for his number. So a couple months later I saw him when I was going home from school and I was determined to ask his number. The only problem was that I didn't have the nerve to do it but I a

  • Font - NotaFrenchMaid 1 year ago I met this boy at a dance when I was 14, but like I didn't actually meet him. I saw him from afar and got his name through the grapevine (same school) and added him on Facebook and got talking to him. We went out on like two dates and he broke it off, aaaaaaand I couldn't take no for an answer. Long story short I was 14 and this was the first time anyone had shown me interest and I clung on for dear life. I harassed that poor dude periodically for far too long. M

  • Font - DingusHere 1 year ago When I was 18 I worked in a restaurant and had a crush on the bartender. I only knew his first name so I went through the manager's directory to find his address. Once I had this, I proceeded to drive around his neighbourhood in the hopes that we could "accidentally" run into each other and he would express his undying love for me. Even better, it was a small town so it was very obvious to all the neighbours that I was on the hunt... I drove around his house for an h

  • Font - AliceInWeirdoland 1 year ago I used to insist that my friends invite my crushes to hang out with us, to the point that I was making people uncomfortable... I also would skip my class and hang out at my crush's lunch period. And I'd just... Never shut up about whoever I was into at the time. I know that it doesn't sound too bad, but even as an adult a few of my high school friends have brought up that my obsession levels went way beyond 'inappropriate'. Fortunately, I grew out of it. 1 2 +
