Today, I went for coffee with some people from work. I lined up to order behind a guy I'd only met a few times. When he paid, he dropped his wallet, and I saw that he had a picture of me cut from the company newsletter, enlarged, and taped inside his wallet. FML
I agree, your life sucks (23365) - you totally deserved it (2065)

He might have a shrine dedicated to you in his closet like that kid on Hey Arnold! D:

Why beat up? She should have the courage to just take it as a compliment.
#56 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:34pm by hoschiadedodi
Oh wow. That's really creepy. I think you should probably talk to whatever part of your company deals with obsessive creepers.

Yes because I find all of my stalkers adorable! I have a cutesy nickname for each one. Oh look! Here comes Twitchy, he's my favorite ;)

Hey, it's Knifey! Hi Knifey, can you walk me through this dark alley?
#48 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:17pm by GreenHacker
Knifey, whoa, man! You gotta stop sidin' up like that.. wait? Were you hiding behind those bushes? *gulp*
I like the fact he took the effort to enlarge the pic, but im disappointed he didn't photoshop himself into it with a couple of kids.
Either you have an amazing sense of humour, or you have done this before lol!
Anyway, she should be happy, she has a new fan ^^
I'm sure he has already. Unfortunately, a family picture of such photoshopped complexity requires more space than a wallet to do it justice. It's probably hanging on his living room wall.

Yes my future wife and I have 2 kids. We go on all sorts of holidays together. The strange thing is she's wearing the same clothes in all of the photos and has the exact same expression on her face. We're one big happy family. I'll tell her about it some day...
haha wow. that rly sux. i say go enlarge a diferent employes pic and show THAT too him ;)

I'd certainly never do it, but evidently the sight of you inspires him. I say don't take it personally.
#18 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:36am by BeeSkwaird
well mark wahlberg is incredibly hot and then tries to kill witherspoons whole family.. attractiveness can be deceiving
#29 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:02am by roflmaonade
I would probably take it as a compliment. Chances are, he's not a stalker/psycho, he just has a crush.
If it was a crush he would be checking her facebook. Not keeping her picture in his wallet. O_O
#21 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:45am by Dutchie2010
Hey, at least it means he doesn't have the imagination to violate you in his dreams. And hopefully at all. o_O
Next time, don't go to Starbucks. All the creepy stalkers get their coffee there.
#20 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:44am by SenGaeriel
Ewww...creeper! Poor guy probably didn't count on you seeing it. But definitely FYL. One of the best FMLS I've seen in a while. Good one OP. You're probably gonna be a bit paranoid from now on but relax, it's probably a harmless crush. If he starts acting up, just tell HR about it. Good luck.
if he's hot then get with him because you know he likes you. if not then u have a problem.
#26 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:13am by Stranger35
I don't see the problem, not like he was intending to show it off if it was in his wallet? Maybe he just found you attractive?
#30 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:36am by Awnonymous
Oh noez! Someone thinks I'm hot. Calls de police! Unless he is actually hanging outside your house at night or doing batshit stuff like that, save your victim fantasies for fictional characters. Don't mess up real lives. Damn.. some of y'all could never handle a modeling career. O noez! They all creepers!!one
you're probably saying that because you do the same thing. normal people think its creepy because it is. freaks will try to defend it and try to make the normal people out to be annoying and paranoid for thinking its weird. newsflash: keeping a picture of a coworker you barely know in your wallet is creepy.
#77 - On 11/06/2009 at 2:48am by expen_dable
That's freakaaay. It could be mostly harmless. Then again, maybe not. Report it to the boss if you want. By all means, however, do NOT confront him - that has more potential to make it worse, not better.
#32 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:57am by blastvortex
You've got a stalker! Every self respecting celebrity has a stalker. Autograph? :D
... in all seriousness, ouch! Restraining order?

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
This is fake!!!! You're not pretty enough to have a stalker so you made one up!!!! HAHAHAHA
#38 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:19am by sjbartholome
Just because he masturbates to the picture of you in his wallet does not make him creepy.
What makes him creepy is the life-size cutout and hair doll he has of you at his place.
#39 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:27am by donkey_hang_down
Not FYL because of the picture but FYL because you think that someone liking you is an FML.
#40 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:06pm by littlegoldwoman
creeper...
LGWoman, are you serious? Its not that he likes her, it is that he is probably obsessed with her. They only met a few times. Sounds like a creeper to me.
it means that you have found your love of your life. A lot of guys would even borther to remember yr face.
Creepey-Mc-Creeperson, that's for sure.
I'd go to your boss before stalking becomes a severe issue.
If you don't, it could get much worse.
I had a stalker a couple years ago, and I just played it off like he was harmless. One day he professed his love for me, and I politely denied him, saying that he was nice, but that I was taken and not interested in anything more than friendship. The next day, he showed up at my house (I have no idea how he knew where I lived) while I was out for groceries, and he decided to harass my brother, who was visiting for the weekend. The guy went off on my brother, saying he 'needed to see me' and that we'd had a 'lovers quarrel' and ended up threatening my brother's life. Enough for him to call the cops.
Needless to say, these things can get pretty bad.
Nip it in the bud now, before you end up in a similar situation.
FLY though!
Well.. Listen who has had a crush in highschool where on the first day u see this hot guy and u put his picture in ur locker and admire it everyday? Well im literally asking cuz im not even in hs yet -.- but still ive herd of that befpre its kinda normal. Be nish! But ur right... Kinda creepish.
#49 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:26pm by blue_eyed
Think positive, just make sure you're busy whenever he wants to talk, and then when he shoots up the office, he will skip killing you because he loves you.
#50 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:41pm by McBadAss
At least you can sleep easily knowing somebody loves you.
#52 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:14pm by MiniatureMayhem
You have to understand that most men really can't remember fine detail very well. He's keeping a picture of you to remind himself what you look like, lest he forgets. I know it seems creepy, but don't take it that way. He just thinks you're cute, that's all.
Aw that's sweet. Depending on how old you both are. Probably harmless. Let him buy you coffee.
#55 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:30pm by w26l32
i'm sorry, but what the fuck is wrong with everyone who thinks this is a 'harmless crush'?! People honestly consider this 'cute' behaviour? That's disturbing and weird, and seriously #30? 'I don't see the problem'? and #44, 'It means that you have found the love of your life'?! People writing comments like those are the same people who keep pictures of strangers in their wallets.
i've never kept a photo of a stranger in my wallet, and that's pretty much what I said.
I'm not saying it's "cute" or ok, just that it's not an FML *unless* he is exhibiting other stalker-ish behaviour. The photo alone, while weird, isn't FML material.
MUHAHAHAHA im sorry but fyl i bet hes jerked off to your picture but hey this must mean your pretty hot so its not all that bad
Gross..lmao also at # 53 and i think your talkin about the character helga lol the mean bitch that went around kickn ppls ass like the creepy breathing dude.
#63 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:17pm by kayPandastyle
It's a compliment. Now if it was a picture he took, that would be creepy.
#64 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:21pm by MrdeBlaque
There could be a million reasons for this--ok, maybe not, but at least a few relatively un-creepy possibilities. Maybe it's inspiration because he wants your job. Maybe he's trying to get up the courage to ask you on a date (is it against company policy?). Maybe he's bad at names and stuck it in there prior to the coffee shindig to remind himself of it so as not to embarrass himself (obviously that backfired). Does he seem particularly creepy besides the pic? I would bring it up and just find out: say it with a smile, "So, what's with the picture of me in your wallet?" Try to be casual so he feels comfortable enough to give you the embarrassing truth, and then decide if he's creepy.
#65 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:37pm by papillonrouge
ever thought that maybe its just cause he likes you? its a leeetle creepy, but its not like it was accompanied by photshopped pictures of your future children and a blow-up doll with your face.
^^^
Fucking Win for both common sense and awesome creepiness.
#67 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:58pm by DunHassleDuhHoff
Still, it is unappropriate to have a picture of someone you do not know or asked to take a picture of.
So what? Maybe he admires you from afar. Does he creepily eye you from across the room or follow you in the car to your house?
If not, then I don't think there's any need for worry.
#68 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:49pm by DeathShad0
You should have said, "I hate that picture, I can't stand the pictures of me before my gender operation..."
lol my friend went on vacation and i snooped on his computer and found a whole load my my pictures saved on his files... that creeped me out. i wonder if he relized that i found them and deleted them all..
You're just as bad for invading his privacy.
As the FML, it is undeniably weird, but maybe he's just a weird guy with an innocent crush on you. As long as it stops there, its not that big of a deal, just weird...
Well, um I can see how you might be creeped out, but shouldn't you be flattered?
#84 - On 11/07/2009 at 12:49am by suzsmith
A restraining order is the highest form of flattery, it says, I understand you are in love with me and distance makes the heart grow fonder. It also says, up the game to win my heart.
