Jeepers Creepers

I am totally creeped out.

Approaching my hotel-room bed, I just noticed a little post-it on the headboard stating ‘Good night – sleep tight!’ accompanied by the drawing of a little sheep.. Holy guacamole!

After careful inspection, the writing appeared quite stylised, almost printed.. maybe it is just a (bad) marketing stunt from the hotel management.. Who thought this one out?? Not impressed..

Seriously, who would like to be stalked by some creepy post-it writer in a German hotel? Actually, who likes being stalked anywhere?

Which got me thinking about Single Friend #1’s latest fixation: Ghost Guy. A mysterious fella, unseen by most, she is incessantly following around like a rabid puppy. Endless emails, texts, WhatsApp messages, calls.. she is unstoppable. And all she is getting back is.. silence. Nothing, nada, zippo, nulla. And the more he hushes, the more she longs.. It must be some form of masochism for sure. Which I would kind of get if it was at least accompanied by a teaspoon of pleasure.

So, as a friend, I launch my appeal to GG: dude, change your phone number, email address and all passwords. It is not safe out there.
