I'm ashamed to even admit this! but has anyone else "casually stalked" someone at a thrift store when you see they have something MLP in their basket?


I had my two youngest kids today with me at a local thrift store. I hadn't been in a while. So my youngest son is busy digging through,and I'm going through the shelves looking for MLP and Beauty and the Beast stuff. I find a couple of cute fakies, but nothing much. Then I notice a gal with G1 Minty in her basket and I'm thinking - "where did she find her?!" I looked some more, but I didn't even see any generation of MLP.


I kinda kept hoping she might change her mind on Minty, but alas

i have.  but when her kid saw it there was no way i was getting that pony! :<

[PinkRosedust]

Haha, that must have been slightly painful. Finding myself in a situation like that is one of my greatest fears. I'd cringe if I saw a G1 in someone else's basket, especially if they had young kids with them. That may be presumptuous of me, but hey...I'm just looking out for the safety of the ponies! =P

I wouldn't put it past myself to do some minor stalking, though I'd feel pretty awkward about it lol. It hasn't happened yet though. I should find some wood to knock on...

[TickledPink]

Nope! it's none of my business what people have in their baskets.  I'd rather a child get the pony than me, at least I know they'll be played with

[scarletjul]

   I have.  Once, I walked into Savers and headed straight for the toy section and saw someone with a g1 puzzle in their basket.  I didn't actually stalk them but I kept my eye on them.  They never put it back.

Today, I went to a new thrift store and there was a woman with a pile of girl's clothes and toys.  I couldn't tell if she had any ponies and she didn't put anything back - but I didn't stalk her anyhow.

I can't do that. I'm 6'4", weigh about 260 pounds, and I shave my head. If someone like me is creeping you, you'll notice.

Haha!

[Tinker]

No... But I've had the reverse. On one of my GW trips I was looking through the toy bins for baits and fix-me-ups after awhile a young girl followed me around the toy area. I offered her some of my goods, but that just made her run away.

[HavACrumpet452]

Yes! I stalk people all the time to see if they will change their mind. Once a woman gave a bag with ponies to her 2ish year old child and a few minutes later the kid said she had that one already and put the bag down and walked away. Hooray for me! That's how I got baby Big Top.

Only once- I was at one of my favorite pony peoples shop (its only open once a month but she always has a rotating stock of about 50 G3's in great condition and 5-6 G1's, and she doesn't over charge) and this particular day I didn't get off so I was there latter then normal- most of the time I get there as she sets up and help her with it so she gives me great prices for the work.
Anyway a lady with a little girl who was already there had a ziplock freezer bag full on G1 pony ware- I love dressing up my ponys and at the time only had one dress and some shoes~ She was wondering around trying to convince her 5 yr old that the cloths were what she wanted- but the girl clearly only wanted a G3 Lilly Lightly. Eventually the child won and so did I

[FlyingPonyMonster]

I stalked a child walking out of a supermarket carrying g3 Cheerilee sayi g drop it drop it......LOL then I realised it was weird! Haha

[Saoirse]

Ah Id hate that to happen, but on a brighter note its a bit like toy story, abandoned and unloved and then picked up by another child to be loved again

I can't do that. I'm 6'4", weigh about 260 pounds, and I shave my head. If someone like me is creeping you, you'll notice.

Haha that was funny!

[hathorcat]

I stalked a family around Tesco supermarket only 2 weekends ago once cause they had 1600 Frankie MH in their trolley...wanted to see if they were definitely taking it...so sad and so true!!!

[littlexflitter]

I won't stalk people in the store, even though it can be tempting to see if they'll relinquish whatever it is that they have that I want. I just can't feel okay about following others; It makes me feel like a creeper!

[Pangel]

Not really stalking, but I've been at a carboot before with my sister and watched as a known pony-dealer snatched Ice Crystal and Fireball out from under my nose ;__;
