GaryBo Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I hope none of you have had this type of problem.A couple of weeks ago, a Lady and her son stopped by as I was putting up lights. They asked questions about the display, how it worked, etc. The boy (12 years old) and his Mom ( single Mom, 40's) seemed impressed. The boy who was excited about it all asked if he could help. I told the boy, sure you can put lights on some of the trees. Well, he and his Mom have been coming by almost every day since, wanting to help.As we all know, we have our routine and way of doing things, and to stop and talk or show how things are done, takes time away from our activities. The boy has become a pain, and Mother a little too friendly for me, making flirtatious remarks and a little too touchy. (couldn't be that I am dressed in overalls, and I have grown my Santa beard, or the fact I'm a chubby 68 year old ????)I have tried to be diplomatic and tell them, I don't need any further help, but Mom is somewhat pleading to help, saying the boy is heart broken.I am now afraid to go outside for fear, they will show up.It looks like I have a Christmas Stalker !!!!!

George Simmons Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Let me see if I've got this right. A chubby 68 year old man is being pursued by a forty-something single woman. I keep looking at this trying to see the problem... Assuming the mom ISN'T mentally ill, why not send the kid outside with a couple severely tangled strings of mini lights and see if mom wants a ride on Santa's sleigh while the kid is busy?

Bad thing, Mom has a lot of baggage. I keep thinking of"Fatal Attraction".Other bad thing about all this is my wife has seen my discomfort, and all she can do is laugh at me!!!

Surfing4Dough Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hook up some juice and explain that you need to do everything else yourself now since it is dangerous now that you are working with high voltage. And you don't want somebody to get hurt, or to distract you and cause you to get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponddude Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I had a Christmas stalker once....he was an 8 year old boy. I found it creepy and didn't really know if I should communicate with him. He would send me emails and facebook messages and show up at my house on his bike. I still to this day don't think his parents knew. Count your blessings with a woman!

WhitePlainsNY Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 How about screaming out an expletive during the setup? Make sure you're within earshot of both the kid and the Mom. I do that anyway while setting up my display - without a stalker nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimswinder Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Here is a different slant from my sons point of view...We were out Saturday putting up the lights and a car drove by and a very cute young lady put her head out the window and screamed "I Love Your Christmas Lights!!!"My sons response?"I think being the son of the "Christmas Light Guy" should at least get me laid by a nice young lady like that"!!!Kids....Don't they know WE (the Christmas Light Guys) get first pick???

George Simmons Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I just had a frightening thought... Maybe we're looking at this the wrong way. Maybe that 40-something woman stalking the 68 year old chubby man isn't really stalking him. Maybe she's taking pity. Wiggle, wiggle... rub, rub... smile, shimmy... getting her yuyletide jollies, while she figures the laws of Viagra says she's safe.And why do I think Jim's son has a better chance of singing the Hallelujah Chorus with that sweet young lady than Jim does, regardless of whomever Jim thinks should get first dibs...
