Someone is Watching

Post by QUINNSCOMMENTARY »

I walked into a store the other day and noticed the large silver dome on the ceiling, they have been around for years, but for some reason I took special notice and then I saw the sign telling me that I was being watched, under surveillance if you will. The same thing happen at my local ATM, I was under surveillance, someone (or some thing) was watching me all the time. Where else are they watching, on street corners, in dressing rooms?

All this is for my protection…I suppose, or in some cases for the protection of the store on the chance that I will walk off with something.

I had no evil thoughts on my mind while in the store, but I felt guilty and nervous in any case. What happens if my underwear rides up or a have an itch or I have an uncontrollable urge to pick my nose. Is my hair out of place, no problem I have very little. How do I look, dare I pull up my sagging pants and what will I present if I bend over to tie my shoe? What if my wife sees the tapes and notices me eyeing that blond in the Victoria Secret store…what am I doing in the Victoria Secrets in the first place? :yh_shame This could be embarrassing or pathetic.

Am I safe if a turn away from the all seeing dome, no good there is another dome? There is simply no escape. If I pick a shirt from the rack and put it on, will they think I am preparing to walk out of the store, will I be escorted to some interrogation room in handcuffs? :confused:

Am I paranoid, is there any hope? I should have stayed in bed this morning. :-3

“At the age of three Comrade Ogilvy had refused all toys except a drum, a sub-machine gun, and a model helicopter. At six -- a year early, by a special relaxation of the rules – he had joined the Spies, at nine he had been a troop leader. At eleven he had denounced his uncle to the Thought Police after overhearing a conversation which appeared to him to have criminal tendencies. At seventeen he had been a district organizer of the Junior Anti-Sex League.” 1984

No your not paranoid, they really are watching. Even in the changing rooms, it is legal for a store to have staff spy on you trying on clothes. One of the latest is to monitor your mobile phone as you walk around, they will know where you go in the entire mall, how long you stayed in each store and if you pay by card exactly what you bought. Your life is no longer yours, everything you do and everywhere you go will be checkable soon, 1984 has arrived just a bit later than he thought....:lips:
