This wouldn't have to be a FML if you just take care of your hygiene.
hahahahaahaha sorry op
at least they told you! :D
Why does this sound so familiar? i could've sworn I heard one with this EXACT wording before. weirddd
Take more showers!! And wear deoderant :p
That's foul. I doubt you're being stalked don't flatter yourself.
awwwwww
It's not stalking if they give you an anonymous letter... Don't try to make them the one in the wrong...if you stink, it's your fault and you should learn to shower..
How is it not stalking? It's anonymous, so she doesn't know if this is from a person she gave her address too, or not. If it was from a person she'd given her address to previously, there's no issue. If this is a person she hadn't given her address to: 1. They're a random who's only heard of her, and had to find out where she lived somehow. 2. They're a creepy stalker. 3. They're a friend that didn't have her address. But, how did they get the address then? 4. While she should be showering for hygienic reasons, this does not mean she's wrong in thinking she's being stalked. It's very possible, the same as it could be impossible.
@#107 Well, dumbass, it was an ANONYMOUS note. It could have been from one of the OPs friends or neighbors who didn't want to embarrass the OP by talking about it in person. Even if it is just an acquaintance, it is not stalking because is unwanted, obsessive attention by one or more other people. Finding out where someone lives to send them a letter about how bad they smell is not stalking because it is not obsessive. It isn't even malicious (look it up). If the sender were a friend who didn't have the OPs address, there is this thing called a phone book. And, if they have mutual friends, maybe the sender just asked one of their mutual friends for the OPs address. If it were a true stalker, the stalker would NOT send an anonymous letter saying the OP stinks. That is not what stalkers do. The OP would have been receiving creepy love letters and gifts. I suggest you go back to back to junior high school to learn proper English and buy a dictionary to learn the meaning of the words you use. I would also suggest you take a few courses in critical thinking as you apparently have no skills in that area.
Dave! Welcome back, asshole. I see you've started with the juvenile name-calling. My comment is what you'd call 'playing the devil's advocate'. I'm simply giving further insight into the situation, giving more possible situations. It doesn't make any of them true. I also DIDN'T say that the note COULDN'T have been from one of OP's friends etc. It's possible. Like I said in the last line of the comment you responded to, "4. While she should be showering for hygienic reasons, this does not mean she's wrong in thinking she's being stalked. It's very possible, the same as it could be impossible." Please read the last part again. Let me repeat it for you: "It's very possible, the same as it could be impossible." Are you getting this through your thick skull? I know what malicious means, there is no need for me to look it up. I'm still waiting for you to look up the definitions to "unwanted" and "unnecessary" (as in, your comments are unwanted/unnecessary). Finding out where someone lives when the OP refused to give their address for safety (or other) reasons IS a form of privacy invasion. Mind you, it's not a very good argument for invasion of privacy, but it still is one. If the OP didn't want to give the address out for any reason, and OP's anonymous "friend", for lack of a better word, manages to get the address behind the OP's back, that's technically invasion of privacy. Possibly the OP was unlisted. I know many people are. It's possible mutual friends were asked, but we don't know if the anonymous letter was sent from a friend. Not all stalkers are the same. Please add another definition to your vocabulary. The word is "stereotype/stereotypical". Please take your own advice. Weren't you posting to me on another FML without using correct grammar? Oh, I think you forgot your capitals on that one, too. Don't talk to me about grammar and learning the meanings of words. Critical thinking? I don't even think there are classes for that. I've taken law, and I'm a lawyer's daughter. Both have taught me to look at ALL of the possible options before passing a judgment. That's what I was doing here.

Don't flatter yourself. You're not being stalked. They didn't want to have to get close enough to say it to your face. It would have been awkward to find a pole long enough to attach the note to, and they didn't have a megaphone.
Leaving you a note isn't stalking you. Don't get mad at others because you happen to smell like shit.
