Today, I found out that while having a GPS tracker in your car is helpful for tracking down car thieves, it's also helpful to your psycho ex, who can use it to track you down. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mechanic asked me if I wanted to keep my car's aftermarket tracking system, which he found had died. That’s when I realised that my ex-husband must have installed that after our divorce, and it’s been in there for over 6 years. God only knows how long it tracked me before dying. FML
Today, I was on good terms with my ex, and I thought we were going to get back together. I let him use my car to go back to his place after being at mine. I checked the GPS log and saw a familiar address. I then found out he was using my car for booty calls with someone I considered a friend. FML
Today, I found out that my violent ex has moved to my country for the sole purpose of tracking me down. I know this because my former boss called and told me she gave him my address. She loves the idea of us getting back together because, "You're such a cute couple!" FML
Today, after months of working on our relationship, my ex asked to borrow my car. After many hours and phone calls to see where he was, he still wasn't back. I decided to check my car's GPS and found him at my friend's house. He tried to deny that it was her house, when I've been there multiple times. FML
Today, I found out that the generous gift from my boyfriend of a new iPhone was only given so he could use the "Find my phone" function to make sure I'm always where I say I am each day. I'm being stalked by my own boyfriend. FML
Today, my neighbour casually mentioned that he sold my car's GPS that I'd let him borrow. He figured I wouldn't be needing it anymore since I lost my license. FML
Today, I found a guy getting out of my car with my GPS. He started running and I chased him. We eventually reached a dead end and he gave it back to me. I took it back from him and said, "Sorry..." FML
Today, I found out the person who's been stalking and harassing me online was actually my now ex-boyfriend. He only confessed as I finally picked up the phone to report it to the police. He basically said he wanted me to turn to him for comfort and protection, so he could "feel like a man". FML
Today, I found out I have a restraining order against me from my ex boyfriend. Apparently, I drive by his house too much and it is considered stalking. He forgot that I live 2 houses down, and MUST drive by his house to get home. FML
Today, my psycho ex-girlfriend showed up at my new job to, "Keep an eye on me." The same ex-girlfriend who has been stalking me since we broke up. Two years ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Restraining order! Best to be safe then sorry! That's creepy as hell!

That sucks OP!

Don't you just wish there was a button to show your agreement, that yes, OP's life does suck?

Although I have made those, "I wish there were a button for that" comments, I'm really getting tired of seeing them.

Now you just need one for her so you can use technology in your favor. Sucks to be you OP

The psycho ex could easily be a man.. Not all psycho ex's are women you know
Ki11erC 18
While it could be another female, OP is female, would be more inclined to say this psycho ex is male.
mkid232 15
Considering the OP is female, it could more likely be a man in this case. Not that she can't be a lesbian, it's just more likely straight than gay.

Ppl are trying so hard not to come off as homophobes in this comment thread

Or maybe... Just maybe #44... People have a thing called 'courtesy' on this thread.

Yes, I'm sure OP is glad that you're fussing about whether or not her psycho ex that's stalking her is a guy or a girl.

Restraining orders don't really help. They can still track you and follow you without you knowing.
Kiwiscanfly 19
But there's the risk of getting caught, which the cops can be called and they'll do what ever the cops do, so the fact that he probably doesn't want a criminal record might stop him from following her.. Unless he really is crazy as hell, in that case, you should probably leave the country OP.
xBeats 15
I doubt he cares about cops since he's stalking her and stalking someone is illegal.

Actually, it's better to be safe _than_ sorry. I don't think anyone wants to be both.

#51 I'm sorry oh Wise One, I shall never make that grammatical mistake again.

And if you don't have a psycho ex, you likely ARE the psycho ex.

How scary! I hope you get help to protect you!

Ouch...Cannot imagine finding that out

I'm sorry. I hope your ex doesn't do this on a regular basis.

They're also useful for tracking exactly where your children are at all times. I plan on installing one on each of my children when they are teenagers. Not on their cars, ON THEM. Try sneaking out at night now!

That's not overprotective at ALL!
punjabtimelord 18
That's rather over the top, you know. A little bit of trust goes a long way; my parents gave me a bit of freedom and I have never snuck out. Besides, that probably wouldn't go down too well with them..
Ranimal 12
Calm down, it was a joke...
sweet23_fml 11
or was it... When i have children this will be a option when they hit their teenage years.

every joke reflects an inner thought and well, he's a surgeon... Poor kids.

Your middle name doesn't happen to be NSA, is it?

And what's the alternative? Having them roaming the streets at all hours of the night? Indeed, trust is freely given, but once broken takes a major effort to re-establish. With teenagers, take each day as it comes.

That's pretty lo-jack.
