Is something wrong with ME(N)?
Someting happen last month ..... dat really rile meh ..... an' ah try real hard tuh leave it alone eh ...... but ah jus buss ...... so ...... as I sometimes do ..... right now ...... ah need tuh stray a bit (from what this blog is really about) ...... and ...... fuh de purpose of this post ...... I also need to reveal just a smidgen about ME 
I've been told before ...... by friends and acquaintances ...... that before knowing me ...... they did not want to know me ..... and that is because ..... they saw the invisible wall around me ...... cuz I do not have an inviting aura ...... and I am not a friendly person ...... as a matter of fact ..... many a time I've also been described as 'sour' ..... and would often be told ..... 'smile nah' ..... by the many 'famalee' I seem to have ..... lurking in public places! ..... steups ..... jus last week ..... de chupid security in Starlite hit meh dat ...... like as tho people does really be walkin around jus smilin!!!!
Then ..... as if that weren't bad enuff ...... when you do get tuh know me ...... I am horrible at keeping in touch ...... I don't call (or answer my phone) ....... I don't text (and hardly ever reply) ...... I don't email (and only respond when I feel like) ...... I don't visit (and doh like nobody in meh house!) ...... so it's pretty much a challenge ...... being friends with me ..... but ..... that doesn't mean that I am incapable of being 'friendly' or 'nice' ..... sure I can be ...... after I've had a couple beers ...... or when the situation warrants it ...... like in a social setting etc. ....... heck shit ...... most times when I'm out limin ...... I AM de damn life of de party!!! ...... but ..... see meh an' come live wit meh is two different ting! ...... I've come to realise ...... that because of my split personality (i.e. jus cool when we out limin but doh mean we is close warm personal friends) ....... people tend tuh read me (and rub me) the wrong way ..... very often!
Anyway ..... you may recall ...... that earlier this year ...... the apartment I live in ...... was undergoing a lil facelift ...... and as such ...... the place was littered wit ah setta workmen fuh about two weeks ..... now again ...... said workmen were hired to do work on the apartment ....... and were therefore treated in an appropriate and pleasant client/worker way .......
Six months later (i.e. last month) ...... they were back ...... doing some general work ...... on the compound ......
You know ...... fuh two days straight ....... one of dem ..... as he done work ..... would plant he ass outside my door ...... and good pong it down ...... WHY????? ...... both days ...... I ignored the knocking on the door ...... altho dat was extremely difficult tuh do ...... cuz other than de amount ah time he knock ...... I have a knocker ...... so de knocks was twice as loud ..... and just @#$%$ annoying!!! ...... but really ...... why was this man knocking on my door ...... is it jus cuz I have 'knockers' ...... cuz we not frens ...... we doh have nuttin tuh talk about ...... and I eh big on small talk either ...... den ...... he reach jus so ....... UNANNOUNCED! ..... Nooooooo .......
*SIGH* .... Why it is ..... when a female ..... is nice to a male ..... he does automatically tink dat yuh want tuh be he fren??? ...... why it is ..... cuz I was cool wit dis guy when he was workin on my apartment ...... dat he feel we coulda fren after ...... WHY????? ...... and why after day one of pongin down my door ....... knowin very well dat I was inside ..... and just flickin ignoring yuh ass ...... would you come back on day two ...... fuh ah possible repeat performance ..... and why ..... after gettin ignore again on day two ..... yuh would decide tuh climb up on my bannister ...... and look tru my window ..... jus tuh make sure is ignore yuh gettin ignore ..... WHY???? ..... like how boldface and desperate and dotish can you be??!!
Anyway ...... after dat episode ..... and not hearin from him again ....... I clean forget bout he!! ..... you know de man come knockin on my door dis week AGAIN ...... yes ..... was de same day ah went Pennywise! ....... I woulda never in my wildest dreams ...... tink that dat man woulda ever come back an' knock on my door ..... so ...... unsuspectingly I responded ..... but tru meh window (cuz I was in no condition tuh be seen) ...... only to hear his voice reply ...... *LORD HAVE MERCY HOW TUH DEAL WIT DIS DUNCEY????* ...... *SIGH* ...... *TINK QUICK* ...... ah tell him dat ah unavailable ..... and dat ah gettin ready tuh head out ...... and dat I'll see him on meh way out ...... cuz I jus assume dat he was working around de compound again ..... well ...... NO EH!!! ..... cuz half hour later now ..... when I ready tuh ride ...... he an' ah nex one was jus dey ...... jus waitin fuh me ..... dem eh have no business here ...... dey jus happen tuh be in de area ..... and decide tuh pass tru ...... so again ....... being pleasant (while stifling my inner bitch) ...... ah make ah lil small talk with dem ...... but extremely long story short ....... ah tell dem ah late ..... cyah stay tuh chat ...... dey ask meh when is ah good time tuh come back ....... ah say ah doh know cuz ah always mobile ...... den dey ask meh fuh dat ...... meh mobile number (so dey could call first) ...... so ah give dem (cuz I doh answer my phone anyway) ......
You know de man dial my number as I walk off to go eeeen my car ...... as if tuh check (in front of me) ..... dat is de correct number I give him!!! ....... so of course ...... his number too .... end up on my phone!
Comin home from Pennywise now ...... ah pull out meh phone tuh order some Chinese Food ...... and in between tryin tuh drive ...... and make de call at de same time ....... you would not believe what I do ..... I dial back de man number ...... instead of the food place!!! ..... an' ah only realise ..... when ah get he voicemail ...... instead of a Chinese sounding person!!
Well I coulda just kick myself ...... cuz brudda was no doubt ...... thrilled tuh get dat 'ghost' call from me ...... cuz he call meh back ...... and he leave a message apologisin fuh missin meh call ...... and advisin dat ah could call him back later blah, blah, blah ......
Grrrrrrrr?? ....... I never called back! ..... but that had no effect ...... cuz two days later ...... ah get ah text (my favourite thing in the world) ...... sayin sumtin like 'have a nice day' or sumtin ...... and again ..... I didn't reply ...... which is not me ..... cuz I do have some manners ...... so normally I would have replied sayin THANKS or DITTO or some shit!
Today now ....... ah get 3 calls ...... I eh answer none ......
I am so pissed eh ...... I could just kick myself again ...... cuz now dis man have me ..... like ah blasted prisoner in my own apartment ..... only studyin tuh do everyting quiet quiet ....... and keep everywhere close up ..... and turn off meh phone ...... he even have meh breaksin tuh go outside .... tuh get meh newspapers!!!
Ah waitin tuh see how many unanswered texts and calls ..... its gonna take tho ...... cuz ah want tuh believe dat maybe someting wrong wit him HIM ...... and not MEN in general!
PS: ..... altho I do have a few more similar stories involving MEN

WELL......ah have tuh put in meh two cents worth...............I wouldn't take that as lightly as you are (not that you are but everything is relative)...As I said before...do not give out yuh number if yuh don't want someone to call..and say dat...."I would prefer that you didn't call me"...."I am not big on talkin on de phone"..etc. etc........but on a more serious note and being as security/safety conscious as I am AND seeing de scene in dis beloved country of ours....that is not a situation tuh dismiss as man tryin tuh track....he could be an opportunistic S.O.B.............AND pass dat number fuh meh...I will have it checked...NAME, ADDRESS ETC and have a male friend spend some time at home with you and make random pass bys....nothing is impossible and nothing is far fetched..........BE SAFE!!!!THIS SOUNDS SERIOUS AND I AM NOT TRYING TO SCARE YOU!!!!

Hey Fat Gyirl, ah note yuh eh tell de man dat he being a nuisance and dat yuh would prefer if he ent continue to impose himself on you either by yuh door or on de phone. Indeed yuh went so far as to give de man yuh cell phone number, So what yuh expect him to tink? On top of all dat yuh call de man; inadvertently, yes, but yuh tink he go believe dat? I assume he number jus remained in yuh phone in "Calls Received" and that yuh did not save it????

God woman yuh is kicks oui. Dis piece had mih smiling and chuckling at how yuh get yuhself all tie up.
Buh serious talk, dis man sounds like he overly aggressive. Yuh sure yuh eh give him no sign before yuh went and call him to order Chinese? Remember tuh some men, de absence of ah 'no' mean 'yes'.
Anyway joke is joke and dis could turn out tuh be yuh own personal admirer/general contractor/stalker/. Maybe yuh being 'too nice' and need tuh tell de man yuh not interested.

Sigh!
Is dem fellas have men like me single yuh know. If dem ent spoil ting with de nice girls, fellas like me woulda have a chance to say hello, and get to know a gyal lil bit. Anyway, dat ent a man, dat is a lil boy. Another mongrel like the one you posted about a few days ago.
Last time I was in Trinidad was 4 years ago... and this year it go be the 1st time all de family go be together since I coming next week. But last time I was there, a good, good friend, female, confess that when she and her friends met me nearly 20 years ago, dey thought I was de most stuckup person dey ever meet.
And it was only after dey get to know me dey find out I am the most embarrassingly shy person that dey ever meet. Goes to show you that the inner bitch might be a hidden message.
As for answering de phone, I does forward all de calls to the nearest police station... or de morgue. Serious talk. Sometimes I answer "KFC delivery, how may I take your order?" or "This service is no longer free, you will be billed at a rate of £100 per hour or part thereof." Or some other shit like that. I once billed a telemarketer £100; I got his name and address during the conversation and sent him a bill the following day for occupying my time.

"Scene girl, what wrong with you? The man is trying to do you a favour, you're a single girl in need of some "good lovin attention". It's not natural for women to live alone without a big ole man around the place to "take care of you". Awright stop cussin me! As you might be able to tell, some of us have shared your experience. All the above were actual quotes by various "gentlemen" trying to solve my sour problem. So you're not alone, we suffering along with you. It's not nice to have a STALKER on your trail, because you know, this is some real stalker behaviour. Clearly you're dangerous when you choose make the smallish talk. What you might have to do, is get some male friend to answer the phone. It's the only thing they understand sadly!

i feel your pain... but that stalker sounding serious eh... be very careful
Reply to this
OK .... so here de scene ..... I don't know how to ward off unwanted attention ...... I never know what to say ....... without coming across as snobbish ...... so when someone asks for my number ...... I just rattle it off ...... and I guess that's why I sometimes get myself in trouble ...... cuz tuh de 'number receiver' ...... dey does feel like dey reach ...... but tuh me ...... is just another call tuh press 'IGNORE' .......
I have had stalkers before ...... off of doing that ...... but most of them very quickly caught on and gave up ...... this case however is kinda different and new to me ...... cuz brudda jus not ketchin orn ......
Before reading your comments ...... I seriously never even saw a security issue ..... tuh me it was just a situation dat reeked of clueless man .....
I guess if he persists ..... I WILL have to deal with this some way or the other .......
PS: and John .... there IS enuff material for a best-seller

Guyl never give out your number unless you´re interested. Now you just have to tell him plain and simple that you´re not interested. A lil hint:Be careful with the ol hornig men who will approach you on the net. It aint all gold that shines.Trust me on that.

Aye Chica ...... new tuh de scene? ....... WELCOME!

I am a man and I doh give out my number to woman jus so. The reality is that there are some really $%&*ing disturbed people out here and u have to screen people carefully. This post have a 'kicks' tone to it but its a very serious situation. Deal with this fast. Make sure to have a few guy friends on speed-dial so they can come over and diffuse the situation on short notice.
Of course u can turn the tables and initiate a little psychological warfare and make him tink u more mad than him. The last thing any man want is a crazy chick on his case

LOL DamnGenius ....... that 'crazy chick' suggestion ...... IS damn genius
Reply to this
Man that idea with the psychological warfare sounds very appealing.lol

Your description of this man suggests he is either an idiot, a player, or a serial killer. Or a little of all three. It's difficult to tell what to make of this man and I would have to see the other numbers in his phone. Some men are collectors, some are scorers, some are even the real thing once their wives don't find out. I am not saying this from any experience but some men are like insurance agents; they feel they bound to score eventually. Seriously, I think you should stalk him for a couple days and than make a decision

OK ..... I didn't want to say it ....... but yes ...... he had tuh be an IDIOT ...... or a moron! ...... cuz after not answering any of his 3 calls on Friday ....... he called AGAIN yesterday!!!
Reply to this
I have to agree on everything you saying.The guy sounds more like an Idiot to me. I can imagine that once he Scenes number thinking:"She think´s I´m hot!" Some men just cant tell the difference if your feeling sorry for their arse or are attracted to them. I can think of one way to get rid of him: Ask him when you're getting married and let him know that there will be no sex until after marriage.
Good luck to you Scene and keep us updated.
