Magnet for freaks.

Ok.

So I'm starting to wonder - based on a multitude of examples I could give you - if I'm in fact a Magnet / Tractor Beam / Lighthouse or what ever attraction for Freaks.

Do I have a stench that attracts them ? Something that their Scanner picks up a mile away ?

I seem to have this innate gift of finding (or being found by) Freaks.

The latest example has to do with the sister of a colleague who to me resembles a lot like Tuulevi, my ex-roomie (the same bipolar nutcase* I (almost) ran into the other day).

*now I have nothing against nutcases or people with mental disorders, hey you gotta be a little crazy to survive in this insane world ya-hear-what-I'm-saying?, but Tuulevi really is the only one to blame in her case (and her alcoholic good-for-nothing-demeaning-mother). I mean she chose not to take her medication, she obsessed about becoming Britney Spears (drinking, jogging, partying, eating, boozing, vomiting, lying about herself blablabla). She got too excited, too deep in trouble, unmedicated, unstable, that it finally snapped in her head (for the Xth time in her life) and she found herself in a psychiatric hospital first in Paris, then in Finland.

The girl should be on a leash. Get her away from me.

So the sister, she's called Peggy. She fancies herself thin and beautiful and should be nicknamed with reason Piggy. Now Piggy's older sister "Mimi" is a nice person. She values family and friends, honesty and everything that's supposed to be good.

Now Piggy doesn't like it when things are going well for Mimi. She has to find a way to destroy her sister's happiness by insulting her, telling her how worthless she is, meddling in her affairs etc. And everytime it works, Mimi gets miserable, Piggy is content and ACCEPTS Mimi's apology. I've told Mimi with everyone else at my workplace that she should ignore Piggy completely and shut her out of her life completely.

Mimi says she understands but finds it very hard because of blood ties.

Now Monday when I came to work, I found a pair of fairly pretty H&M hairpins à 2,95€ in my locker. I found it touching that someone had thought about me, but since I was curious, I posted a comment on my FB asking who that mysterious person was that gifted me with hairpins.

Mimi responded "In your opinion???" so I knew it was her :)

I then noticed that she had posted a comment saying that she doesn't understand because yesterday everything was ok and today someone had removed her from her FB friends list, called her names etc.

I understood that it was about her sister and told Mimi to let that person be, that maybe it was for the best, that it wasn't easy to realize hard decisions once they were made etc. I never bad mouthed anyone, just tried to comfort a friend. Mimi seemed to be thankful and that was that.

And today I go to work, I see Mimi, shaken up, she tells me that her sister had called her the same morning, insulted her in horrendous ways and all because of HAIRPINS.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, MY hairpins.

You see, Piggy once bought hairpins for herself. But then decided she didn't like them so she gave them to her sister, waiting to be praised for her kindness. Mimi found them cute but knew that she wasn't going to use them, thought of me (hair accessory collector) and put them in my locker for me to find.

Piggy had found out about the gifting and was enraged. She thought it insulting to give away 3€ hairpins SHE had given. She then threatened Mimi that she would hunt that person (me) down and DO THINGS to her.

Ooh mama I'm scared now.

I find her childish and immature and being the zen person I am, I shrugged it off.

Then I logged into FB.

I had received a msg from Mimi, saying that I had a problem with her, that the hairpins were for her sister, not for some weirdo colleague and that if I really had a bone to pick with her, here was her number, call her, signed PiGGY.

I stared at the screen in utter disbelief. She would go so far as to hack into her sisters account and send me some kind of a threatening message. My god that child needs help.

I showed it to Mimi and helped her change her password.

She was disgusted. To make things worse, the little pork had deleted my conversation with Mimi amongst other things. She reaaaaally needs help.

It makes me sick.

Why me?

Why am I always targeted when it comes to nut jobs ?!
