Do you ever have to suppress your creepy urges?

If you've ever worked in customer service (meaning you interact with customers) you may have noticed that people are somehow naturally inclined to be creepy. This includes yourself, behind the counter. Okay, so maybe this is only true of me but please just humor me. At one of my first jobs I noticed on the driver's license of a customer that they lived on the exact same street I did. At the age of 24 I have managed to suppress my instinct to do what me at 19 did: "Oh, hey, we live on the same street. What a small world." FREEZE. Okay, so I know that if a sleep deprived and possibly neurotic looking employee at a video rental place told me this I would possibly try to laugh it awkwardly off and then spend the rest of the night (possibly the week) evading any cars following me for longer than 2 minutes and having my keys and whatever else I could manage at the ready to fight off the homicidal stalker I have most likely encountered. But then I'm paranoid. Geesh, it's a good thing I don't do any drugs or smoke. Could you imagine what that would do to a person with my frame of mind? Anyway, right, back on subject. UNFREEZE. The customer just nods and smiles and then her son, maybe 16 years of age, the silent and brooding type, responds, "Yeah, you live at *insert exact house address* right? You went to *exact high school* and you usually wear *exact type of clothes* and sometimes you wear your hair *exactly how I had started styling my hair on my days off*" I stood there smiling brightly and painfully as I finished the transaction trying to remember if I had ever seen either of these people at any point on my street and coming up with no recollections. In an eighties teen film I think this would be endearing but I'm no Molly Ringwald and I have enough worries of my own what with werewolves, zombies and demons possibly running amok. They had managed to take a potentially creepy (similar but not to be confused with potentially awkward situations) situation and bring it up a notch.

Creepy-meter

I will most likely be posting little things that are creepy but aren't necessarily meant to be. For example, a friend of mine once told a coworker that he was so adorable that she wanted to keep him under her bed and feed him spaghetti. He loved it. And apprently she wasn't coming on to him but I think it makes a very handy pick up line. Lol. On a side note, I love my friends. A few of them are just about as awkward, geeky, and potentially creepy as me. Anyways, these situations are potentially creepy unless the person doesn't go along with them and is threatened then it is just plain creepy. Remember the line.
