Do you ever feel like you're being watched? In the past, you could chalk it up to paranoia, close the curtains and get on with your life.

Thanks to technology, it's not just your imagination. You really are being watched in your home, at work and everywhere in between.

From online advertisers and hackers to the NSA and other government agencies, everyone is trying to keep tabs on you. And things keep getting worse.

If you think you know every gadget and organization that's a danger, think again. Here are three things spying on you that you probably didn't know and that you can't stop.

I do attract crazies.

I think my easy going demeanor and pretty boy looks got me into more bar fights than it should have as, somehow, I loon like prey to some people.

Bar fights were fine. Always took a few hits but, won. Lots of practice with three younger brothers so might not have been fair bar fight.

As to stalkers, they altered my life such that I have very few friends over to my house.

Had a nutjob from work get my address and showed up at my home a few years back.

Took her out for coffee and put it to her straight “Not interested”.

Wow, well, I knew about the easy going demeanor and I knew about the good looks, but just wow! I’m not sure I could handle a stalker.
The people who rented my place here, that I’ve bought, were sort of obsessed with the place and upset at getting evicted and came over and did minor stuff. Twice and I called the police. I’ll get a restraining order if there’s ever another problem, let me assure you. I made sure they found this out too. I told my next door neighbors on the right. People sure do gossip around here!!! So I used that to my advantage.

Business is business and you can’t be expected to carry costs on someone’s failure to remit that which was agreed upon.

And small towns are excellent for coffee shop and hairdresser shop talk.

Oh they didn’t get evicted for failure to pay! Both the owner and the park wanted them out because they were troublemakers and had a yard FULL of machinery, trash, pieces of things. It was awful. But my place is lovely, now that all their stuff is out.

Well, the other part about rentals is you and they have obligations to each other and to the public in general.

They knew this and violated that social contract and lawful obligation.

Losers aren’t innocent. They leave clues everywhere they go...

I just kicked someone out of one of my mobile homes (i still have 8) because of violating rules. The mgr of the park called me and told me I had to kick him out and I agreed. He had a pit bull that he sometimes chained outside (which is also illegal in that county) and the neighbors were terrified. The mgr said she couldn’t even get to the door to talk to him, when she went there.
Thank the Lord I didn’t have to go through the court. He’d told the mgr “you’re not my landlord” I called him up and told him “Well, I am and you have to get out” and he did.
I fear for his baby. She’ll be two this month and I just fear for her. Chaining a dog up often makes it mean.

“They’re not FORCING us to a cashless society... yet.”

If they try, there’s always cryptocurrency.

It isn’t a joke just because it isn’t accepted for absolutely everything just yet. Buy a little and keep it around just in case.

Can automobile black boxes be removed or disabled and still be able to operate the car?

It would be interesting to know if things have gone so far that this has already been made illegal.
