God, I hate this shit. One of my friends from Sydney moved to New York and her crazy 50 year old professor from college who had a sudden obsession tracked down her new cell number, her work number, her address in the US and bombarded her with calls and presents. She changed all her numbers and within a few months he had ALL her new numbers and addresses. We don't even know how he did it, but I'm guessing it was the Internet.
@frankie22: The internet isn't magic. He probably managed to find it through the college, scools are notoriously lax about personal information among professors.
I work everyday with (actual) private investigators, and I'm constantly creeped out by some of the "toys" PIs have, especially the latest one we featured - a reverse peephole device that lets you look IN peepholes.
The Original CheckMate semen detection test kit will quickly and easily monitor your cheating spouse's sexual activity outside of the relationship by detecting traces of dried semen that is left in their undergarments after sex. If you need to know what's really going on in your relationship and you need to know now, try the CheckMate semen detection test kit. Now you can quickly, easily, and accurately detect and identify suspected semen and or "sperm" stains in undergarments in 5 minutes or less with the revolutionary CheckMate semen detection test kit.
I also want to know that if we can invent all this shit, why has no one tried to market the shooting bras that the Fembots had in Austin Powers? Not that I would USE it..but I would just feel better knowing its out there.
I have never had any experiences with serious stalking, but I can only imagine that my life would be one of the most boring ever to spy on.
Monday: Drive .8 miles to work. Work. Drive home. Drink beer while making dinner. Drink beer while eating dinner. Change into jammies, talk to parents on phone about what their dog has been doing this week. Get into bed, watch Intervention. Fall asleep.
Some dude a few towns north of me tried installing a peeping-Tom cam in the Starbucks bathroom. Not only did the baristas discover the cam, they also discovered that he'd taken a picture of himself while installing it. He was arrested a day later. TG some would-be criminals aren't so bright.
We here at Jezebel Laboratories have noted your concerns about safety and security, and have therefore come up with our latest invention: Stealth Panties.
Applying the same technology the military uses to wrap its planes in cloaks of invisibility, these panties are equipped with the latest stealth technology. Made from a fabric that absorbs radio waves, they can foil any attempt to track you via GPS signals! A special lining generates "white noise" frequencies to jam listening devices! The "chameleon option" even allows you to disguise yourself as someone else to avoid detection! All this is powered by a heat absorptive material that converts your own body heat into energy!

Oh yay! Another paranoia to add to the list. I am so ULTRA PARANOID about someone breaking into my house and killing me only to steal my TV because like an IDIOT I left the box on the curb for the trash folk to take.
So high strung....maybe I need a drink now. Yes, yes....it's almost 5 in New York....
@sarabadara is harboring a fetal refugee: Ha! Seriously, I'm super boring and any spy would grow tired of me, quickly. Work, grocery store, home. Daycare dropoff, work, home. Pilates class once a week. Target. The library. This is my life. Although, my baby is cute, so they could just look at him.
@Eeva: If it's a two way mirror, and you touch it, you'll be able to see a space between your fingertip on the mirror and your fingertip in the mirror. In a real mirror, the two meet.
Okay... apparently this is not common knowledge as I thought it was.
GeorgeFayne answered above! Touch the mirror. If it's a two-way, then there's a space between your finger and the reflection. If it's a regular mirror, your fingers touch. This might not be entirely true, I probably heard it on oprah or something, but I've been doing it, compulsively, for years.
Update: I just consulted Snopes, and they told me I've ben wasting my time all these years. So, now you'll never know if you're being watched when you try on clothes or not. Have fun!
@kelsium: I am pretty sure no one else wants to see me in a dressing room mirror any more than I do. Unless they are from the Saggy Titty Tantrum Committee.
I throw a rock I keep in my bag for this purpose at the mirror. If it shatters and there's a masturbating man standing there, I know it's a two-way mirror. If not...I do my business and sneak out the back of the establishment so I don't get arrested for vandalism. It's foolproof!

That said, my Wordpress stats assure me that several people Google my real name every single day. It is not an even remotely common name.
What do they want? WHOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAARE THEEEEEEEEEY?

But then again my own boring life is an open book. Stalkers have no fun with me because I post almost everything online anyway.

You'll never learn.
