I’m a big fan of you. — The most horrifying moment a luminary in any field can experience is the moment when a person suddenly invades their personal space while uttering the
words: I’m a big fan of you.
Before even introducing themselves.
And there are several horrifying variants:
“I’m your biggest fan.”
“Do you want to meet my friends? They are big fans of you!”
“Do you want to meet my
sister? She shy and thinks that you’re sexy; AND, SHE’S A BIG FAN OF YOU!!!!”
Even a luminary with incredible elan has difficulty with the savior faire of this moment. Especially if the
sister is really attractive and the
brother looks menacing AF!!!!
Moments like this have been immortalized by the writer Stephen
King in the novel Misery. He took this moment to its most horrific extreme.
Comedian
Louis C.K. also famed a moment like this in season 1 episode 5 of his FX television show. This
may be
hard to see because apparently he had some habits of which
people were not a “big fan”.
This behavior has been made worse in the era of selfies when everyone has a camera on them at all times. Narcissistic, voyuer-istic culture has made the ability to move incognito a must.
Imagine being Taylor Swift and having this to you. I don’t have to imagine it because I have a picture to prove it actually happens. I’m a big fan of her!!!!!!!
