I'm back with another kind of wild happening. I want to know, have any of ya'll ever had someone secretly photograph you? If so, did it ever end up online? And my last question, whether or not it has ever happened to you, what the hell do you do to get rid of it?! Have you ever had any experience like this?
I remember not long ago reading about this epidemic where guys were taking cell phone photos up women's skirts and were getting into trouble because of it. I read somewhere they were working on stricter laws now due to this type of sick behavior. The pictures are being taken SECRETLY! Without the person's permission and strangers are doing it. OK, so I make extra sure to include panties in my routine when I plan to wear dresses. No huge deal. It's not like we have sub ways or anything even close to that where I live, although I did have a creep follow me around and try to take photos up my dress a couple years ago, but I knew him and he pretended it was a joke. We took care of that problem. It wasn't like a dangerous stranger was trying to photograph me. However, what about when it's YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBER DOING IT?! WHAT do you do?
As you've probably guessed by now, I have a family member who's doing this to me and my partner. It started with her doing it to my mom in the pool. My mom didn't want photos of her in the pool on Facebook, but they aren't anything revealing so she didn't totally flip. However, if you're uncomfortable being secretly photographed and put online, you shouldn't have to deal with it. In my opinion, it's total shi* for your own family member to do it just because she has her panties in a wad.
Over the past week, she's managed to photograph more of us. She does it by carrying around her cell phone and you easily think she's just looking at it and she sneaks a picture. She did it to me once before after I'd gotten in from a dental procedure and looked like total hell. It was embarrassing, but not life destroying so I took the laughs and let it go. I mean this was a really embarrassing picture too.
Now, she's done this to a lot of people. She gets angry with you and you can expect extreme punishment. We already know that. However, it's gone way, way too far now. We have family get togethers and all swim during the summer and all week, I've avoided getting into the pool at all because I've already seen her secretly photograph embarrassing pics of our other family members. Yesterday, it was so hot I couldn't stand it and I had my neice who has to be watched every second. I managed to keep out of the pool all day, but when the evening came and I was the only person that didn't get in and I was sweaty and miserable from the heat and chasing a two year old. Everyone, including the photo-taker, got out so I decided it was safe to get in and cool off with my neice for a minute. Wrong. She got in the pool instantly and had her phone out. All I could do was try to come up with a plan to get out of the pool without her snapping a pic. She had her phone in my direction the entire time so I noticed a towel and tried putting it around me IN the pool before getting out. I then hid behind the pool to put my shirt on. She laughed and said "Ha Ha. How ya gonna like that! This is soo going on Facebook!" While I walked away!
Yes, I know it's just a photo of me in a swimsuit, but I am TOTALLY uncomfortable with that being put out there. In my own home, I expect to be able to wear a bikini without the world seeing. So, I kept checking facebook to see if she put the photo online and didn't see it. That was yesterday.
I didn't say much, but kept my clothes on, made sure I was behind a door when changing, etc. Today, our 12 year old caught her snapping a photo of my partner. Bent over. Helping my mom carry something. Thankfully, it's just his backside probably, but I'm F'n furious that we can't do anything without being photographed secretly. His isn't a big deal because he wasn't in a swimsuit, but he's so furious about her taking it.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? I mean, I just don't want to have to worry about my everyday life being photographed and going online. I know it will get worse, the photos will get even more humiliating. She's the type who would take a photo of you in the shower or on the toilet and put it up online. I've seen her do A LOT worse to people with her whole Facebook photographing. This is a girl who's taken photos that's resulted in seriously hurting people. I've seen it. She's proud of it. Just earlier she was working on doing something really nasty to a few people.. again, with her cell phone and facebook.
You get my point here. Just now, I went on Facebook to see if the photos were up. Suddenly she's blocked me. Guess what that means? I am going to try logging in to a different FB account so I can see if she's uploaded these photos of my partner and I. If so, I know I can report them and say "Have the person take this photo down." But they don't actually MAKE them take it down, do they?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I want to know how to stop the problem for good before the photos get even worse. I've tried avoiding the person doing it, but like I said. It's a family member. Can't get away for the life of me!
