She Threw A Party To Celebrate The Fact That Her Stalker Passed Away
A woman says that she used to have a male coworker that began harassing her at their place of work.
Then it escalated, and he started harassing her outside of the office, and popping up everywhere she went.
At first, she thought maybe it was all just a coincidence, but then it became apparent that it was intentional on his part.
She felt scared and upset about what her coworker was doing to her. She was so frightened that she went to the police, but they weren’t able to do anything to help her.
She felt she had no choice but to find a different job, a different apartment, and a different car in the hopes of ending his stalking.
She also stopped going to the places she normally frequented, and all of her friends had to leave a place they were if he showed up, which hurt them all as well.
“He basically became like a Boogeyman to me and my friend group,” she explained.
It’s now been around a year since she last saw him anywhere, but the fact that she stopped seeing him did not make her feel any safer.
“Then, we found out he had passed away, one of my friends saw an obituary online. It was really unexpected, he was young and healthy,” she said.

“Riding on that high, I suggested our little group of friends have a party to celebrate.”
Her 5 best friends went out with her for a night out, which is something they were unable to do for a long time.
“We had a fun party, it was mostly just an excuse to get some friends together and let loose, but a few things happened that I know people might find distasteful,” she continued.
“We called it a “deathday party” and toasted to that. And when we went to pee we’d joke about “pouring one out for the deceased”.”
The night ended, life went on, and everything seemed fine, but then friends outside of her tight circle started hearing about what she had done.
“I said that the guy had died and I’d thrown a party, and some of my friends mentioned the toast, and some of the dark jokes,” she wrote.
It never occurred to her and her friends to be careful of their words, since they figured the rest of their friends would be understanding of their feelings.
It didn’t quite go that way though, and many of her friends accused her of being “distasteful,” “vindictive,” and “gross” for throwing the party in the first place.
It’s gotten so bad that the coaches of the sports team she plays on are considering kicking her out for being a bad representation of them all.
She really doesn’t get why so many people are not seeing things her way.
