Stalker Rule #8
Stalker Rule #8 :People Forget

I called up my friend since he was asking the other day where to obtain a particular CD. Me being the resourceful stalker that I am, I did manage to locate a shop that was selling the CD he wanted.

Me: Hi! Found out where you can get the CD you wanted.

Friend: Uh, how do you know my number?

Me: I'm a stalker.

Actually, the reason I know his phone number is because he gave it to me. Two years ago that is. (And fortunately for me, he hasn't changed numbers.)

My bluff would be seen as a bluff if he remembered that fact. But people do forget, especially for extended periods of time. I mean if I called him up the day after he gave me his phone number, I'm sure he'd remember. But I called up him two years later and my existence is as much of a mystery to him as well as the fact of how I obtained his phone number.

I also want to stress the importance of taking down info and noting them down, if not for present use but for future use. You never know when a particular piece of information is going to be useful, and the passage of time only increases its value.
