Okay. This Is Weird

My stalker
United States
June 4, 2025 4:53am CST
I have a neighbor who lives on the other side of the complex. The dumpster is on mine. Every day, multiple times a day, she walks past my place enroute to the the dumpster, but never through the hallway (which is actually the most direct route). She's always passing my my front window, which is also where I keep my desk. I am legally blind, but still see distant things better, and movement catches my eyes, too. Normally I rarely see her going past. But lately, she's been staring every time she walks past. Yesterday was no exception, except that she stopped and stared—for the longest time, she stared. Then, she started walking up the yard, saying something the whole time. I have no idea what she was saying, and thankfully, she did not come onto my patio. I just stayed at my desk, continuing to do what I was doing, never reacting or responding to her. But, I did take this picture. So weird. I think she's mad because she tried to get away with accusing me of not picking up after my 75-pound guide dog after she saw a rather large pile of goose poop in the yard.

There always has to be someone to ruin your good days. I hope she doesn't cause any trouble.

She's been looking straight ahead when passing my apartment and steering clear everywhere else in the building.

@LindaOHio Yes, it is. I'll never understand people who think that just because they can see someone in a window, they are spying. I just went to OpenAI and asked ChatGPT (an AI Bot) "Windows are for..." It responded with: Windows are for... letting in fresh air soaking up sunlight watching the world outside framing a view like a picture keeping us connected with nature letting in warmth and light while keeping out the cold offering a glimpse of life beyond our walls providing ventilation and airflow sometimes just for knocking on and calling out to neighbors or daydreaming while staring through them Half of what that AI Bot responded with translate to "look out the window," and that's not what I am doing when she happens by. What I am doing is looking at Microsoft Windows.

Is she keeping an eye on you? I hate that about some neighbors. Weird is right.

She'd been looking at my apartment every time she passed it for two weeks before finally doing this.

Exactly, and she was asking me something, too, but I could not hear her and did not care.

Did your dog do it? If so you should have picked up. I allow my dog to do it in my garden and sometimes he does it in places where people don't tred. My elder son takes him there when he is at home.

Thank you for catching that typo. It was goose poop that she saw.

Could she have dementia or something? Either way, I agree it's weird. It would actually creep me out a bit.

At 74—yes, she could, and that can sneak up pretty quickly, but she's also been a bit weird the whole time she's lived here.

She's walked past my place multiple times a day every day for three years, and has only been doing this staring since May 18th. The "dog poop" she tried to accuse me of not cleaning up was Canadian Goose poop." Anyone should be able to tell that from Bouvier des Flandres waste.
