Let’s say you spend the night on the couch at a friend’s house.
Your friend has gone to bed. You decide to stay up and watch TV. Nothing is on though so you decide to see if there is anything worth watching on the DVR.
One of the shows recorded is “Toddlers and Tiaras”
Very, very quietly, I sneak into the kitchen. I pull open the silverware drawer and pull out a big, heavy, sharp knife. I stealthily take the knife and sneak into my friend’s room. I open the door, quietly as possible. I tiptoe up to his bed. I put the knife behind my back in my left hand, and gently shake him awake with my right. I say, “Dude, where do you keep your peanut butter?” I await his groggy answer, and then creep back into the kitchen as he falls back to sleep. I make myself a peanut butter sandwich. Then, munching on it, I find the medicine cabinet. I sort through the pills, looking for ones that will react badly with each other. I go into the kitchen and make a cup of coffee. I take the badly reacting pills and label them carefully, so that my friend doesn’t injure himself. I then drink the coffee. I then go to sleep.
I really don’t do reality tv at all, but I’ve watched it. It’s a funny show to leave on while cleaning your room or knitting–I put it in the same category as Hoarders, mentally. If it were Jersey Shore on the DVR, though, I might be having second thoughts about the friendship.
I thought this thread was for us to list the creepiest hypothetical…'cause I’m not sure yours is it. We need a little more information on your friend to see if it really moves the needle on the creepometer.
If your friend is a 22yo guy and you opened a folder on his desktop called “Photos I Jerk Off To” and it was all high glitz pageant photos* that would be super-duper creepy. I feel dirty like I need a shower just typing it.
*A term I know from watching Toddlers & Tiaras, of which I have three episodes recorded on my DVR.
I never watched this program, but it is on my netflix, so I might give it a look see.
I can’t remember where on the internet I read this, but it was an interview with
the father of Jonbenet Ramsey; and he commented on this program specifically,
on how it had made him realize the fucked up nature of child beauty pageants.
I remember the comment, because I was surprised that he said it was this show, that
caused his realization, and not what had happened to his daughter.
I can not believe that Patsy Ramsey never condemned these pageants,
and apparently went to her grave believing that they could be a positive influence
on young girls.
