Search terms that make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

I just read a short post by another blogger who wrote that in her search terms, she found her full (real) name followed by “bad parent.”

That’s pretty alarming and would suggest this blogger may be being stalked by someone she knows.   I’ve been lucky that way I guess, but I remember a few months ago, I did see a search term that said “Lucky Otter is an idiot and a psychopath.”   That made me sort of cringe a little inside.   I hate it when people hate me.   I have no idea who used a search term like that, nor do I want to know.   Probably someone I pissed off in a blog post.  Who cares?   Much more creepy than that was the time I found this in my list of terms:  “I want to f*** Lauren Bennett.” (That isn’t even my real name). This was followed by a few more words describing doing something that was even more unmentionable on a blog like this one. I bet I’m twice the age of whatever sociopathic basement dweller searched for this blog that way.

Most of my search terms are pretty boring.  So boring that I stopped making posts listing the “funny” search terms because there really aren’t any funny ones.  They’re all about as interesting as staring at a beige cinder block wall.

  2. Always a good idea to check out your own online profile, and that of your kids. Once you leave a footprint online it can be difficult in some cases, impossible in others, to remove it. I can find online references to me going back 22 years (thankfully none from ‘the ex’ or anyone else I might have upset along the way 🙂 )

      • Lots of lines seem to blur these days. Every ‘so often’ I run some criteria through a couple of search engines, throw in some recent (< 10 years) email addresses and locations … see what comes up. The internet has turned character assassination and stalking into an armchair sport. Flip side is it gives a voice to people who previously didn't have one, but perspective and context are everything …

  3. Several months ago you did a post with a list of search terms that had brought people to your blog. One of the searches was “riding the coat tails of Dr. Paul Meier.”

    As far as I know, you have never mentioned Paul Meier, MD, in any of your posts. But I had mentioned in one of my comments here that it was Dr. Meier who diagnosed my PTSD.

    Which I found REALLY CREEPY, you know?!

    • Would you like me to write up something about him sometime in a post? I don’t know much about him, I would have to do a little research. I could mention I have a friend he treated without identifying you, if you want. Or not.
      You found it creepy I didn’t talk about him in a post? You sound a little annoyed with me…

      • No, nothing you did or didn’t too was creepy! It was the fact that someone found your blog by searching for someone who is “riding the coat tails of Dr. Paul Meier.” I thought the person who did that search was looking for ME, because on my blog, and in a comment to you, I had mentioned that Dr. Meier diagnosed my PTSD and that Dr. Meier and his staff at the New Life Clinic in Richardson, Texas, had saved my life. I had sung his praises on here, and it seemed like someone who hated me was saying that I was trying to ride Dr. Meier’s “coat tails” to fame! It wasn’t you that creeped me out, it was whoever entered that search!!

      • I was not complaining about you not writing anything about Dr. Paul Meier. There is no reason why you should have to write about him. I was just saying that the only way that search brought the person to your blog, was because I had mentioned in a comment here that Dr. Meier diagnosed my PTSD and saved my life. Because you hadn’t written a post about him, so it had to be my comments that brought that search to your blog.

        It just really creeped me out that someone would do such a search, apparently looking for me. It especially creeped me out that the person looking for me was saying it in a derogatory way, as if I am “bad” for associating myself with such a famous person. Like I am trying to cash in on his fame or something. That was what creeped me out, not you!!!

    • I found this blog via an image search. An image (I don’t remember which) caught my eye, and I hit ‘visit site’. The Internet is probably the least ‘creepy’ of the databases that exist containing our information, even if you use cash for everything, wear head-dress concealing your face, and ride a bicycle 🙂

  4. Oh, my…

    Pay bills with cash as much as I can (because I don’t trust my ability to do so by more socially-appropriate ways) – tend to avoid public places and use ‘concealment’ (I’m going bald, it embarasses me – but I have this hard-to-shake feeling that a significant percentage of Normies in most locations don’t want me around themselves because I’m a social liability. Note this is *much* worse in some areas compared to others; there are areas which I sense as being safer, and I’m a lot less ‘paranoid’ while in those…) – and I’m too ***poor*** to have a car, so walk, ride bicycle, and bus/train when I must.

  5. What is it about search terms? I used to check mine all the time and collect the funniest ones in a file, because some of them really cracked me up. Now I rarely check them because they just aren’t that interesting. Have search terms somehow become more boring, or has my sense of humor changed?
