To think I have a stalker?

thefirstMrsDeVere · 07/01/2011 14:29

Everywhere I go lately I seem to be followed by some old trout with brassy blonde hair and weird clothes.

The odd thing is she sort of dresses like me and looks a bit like me.

The difference is I (for eg) am wearing a lovely, flattering purple maxi teeshirt dress and boots, a black pea coat and artfully draped scarf ensemble. My hair is freshly blow dried and make up perfect,

BUT then I catch sight of this weirdo (oddly always through a plate glass window or similar) and she looks like a loon in an odd shaped long dress, hidious fuggs and a tatty jacket. Her hair looks awful and she seems to be at least 10 years older than me.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Constantly. There is a fat woman following me.

charliesmommy · 07/01/2011 14:31

lol.. I have a stalker who is exactly the same...

Onetoomanycornettos · 07/01/2011 14:31

LOL, I had the shock of my life recently when I went on holiday and saw myself in full-length mirrored wardrobes. I was ten years older than I thought I was and shaped like a barrel. I still haven't got over it.

PocketMouse · 07/01/2011 14:32

cripes, I thought it was just me!

BitOfFun · 07/01/2011 14:33

Ah, the Demon Bag-Lady. Yes, she follows me too.

QuintessentialShadows · 07/01/2011 14:33

and of course you only get a glance of her as a reflection in a shop window? Or, you mean, a real stalker?

TheSleepFairy · 07/01/2011 14:34

I thought it was just me.
See, I like to wear hats, I have a silver grey crochet one on today & with my curly wurly flowing locks lying about my shoulders propped up by matching scarf I obviously look like part time model wandering around paris.

My stalker looks like the mad cat lady from the simpsons & she is wearing a tea cosy on her head Hmm

weird.

meltedmarsbars · 07/01/2011 14:35

The trick is to never go anywhere where there are plate glass windows. Then they stop following you.

My stalker looks just like me, but with an enormous pot belly. Weird.

tyzer2001 · 07/01/2011 14:37

Everywhere I go there is a woman at least five stone heavier than me, and she must watch me dressing in the mornings because she wears the identical outfit - but it really does look shit on her. I might have a word...

TragicallyHip · 07/01/2011 14:38

Mmm I too have noticed a strange women following me. I saw her today looking through the windows as I passed. Freaky!

Pantofino · 07/01/2011 14:38

I found the best technique was to stay indoors, cover the mirrors and eat morechocolate / drink more wine. She's given up now.... Obviously it's too expensive for her to maintain that lifestyle....Grin

I dont know if its because I get ready in the gloom whilst OH snores on.

LOL @ part time model! Thats me, I am a very slighty older Sienna, all boho and shabby chic.

NOT that scruffy old nut who looks like a escapee from a 70s commune.

I think it is because I have to get dressed whilst also trying to persuade 3 small people out of princess dresses & wellie boots & into more acceptable clothes.
I have thought about letting them express their creative natures but I fear I would be labelled "that mad hat wearing women with her 3 uncared for ferrets"

missismonky · 07/01/2011 17:04

Mine looks really knackered, I feel a bit sorry for her.

I had a similar but different experience in a shop which had a long mirrored corridor outside the fitting rooms. I was walking in there and saw my reflection, except it wasn't, it was a real person, the same size and shape as me with the same hair colour and style, wearing almost exactly the same clothes and shoes, walking towards me. As we met on the corridor we had a slightly wide eyed smile at each other and said 'Ha!' then went on with what we were doing. It was a very odd sensation.Confused

JoBettany · 07/01/2011 17:26

Am really identifying with this! Every time I look in a shop window or catch a glimpe of myself I wonder who the dumpy, middle aged women is with me!?
In my own head I am slim and quite glam. Reality sucks. Grin

Grin at Metherbumfit's mother.

RevoltingPeasant · 08/01/2011 00:11

My mother is slimmer than me Blush

eats more chocolate to forget

skyswept · 08/01/2011 01:55

I think my child climbs into my bed at night and draws dark circles under my eyes. I try and wash them off everyday but the next day they are still there. Please help.

caramelwaffle · 08/01/2011 02:13

Never EVER go to Specsavers Grin

KatieMiddleton · 08/01/2011 02:14

Lol at Metherbumfit. I was going to mention my stalker mother too. It's quite scary to spot her out of the corner of my eye. Particularly when she rings me from a landline 200 miles away only minutes before or after. She must have super natural powers. Tis the only logical explaination.

dontforgetthejoker · 08/01/2011 09:15

My stalker is my Dad. In drag.

queenofboak · 08/01/2011 09:19

This happens to me too! I thought i was alone.

When i (curvy, smiley and well dressed) go out i get followed by what can only be described as a fat trampy type with catbum mouth.

When did this happen?

Particles · 08/01/2011 09:47

I once almost walked into a mirror in a shop and apologised to my reflection, without really looking up. A girl standing nearby had to walk away, she was trying so hard not to laugh at me. Must pay attention!
