Here's a weird one.
Neighbour dropped off some chocolate yesterday out of the blue.
This guy complains about my leaves on the nature strip.. cuts his lawn with hand shears. I've only spoken to him maybe 3 times.
He's an odd dude.. but..
then he said which uni degree which I did well over a decade ago.. How the fuck would he know that.
Major stalking vibes.
Don't eat the chocolate.
And next time refuse it. Don't take gifts from weirdos. It might feel like the more dangerous option to refuse, but assholes may treat is as you owing them some kind of debt.
Yeah in retrospect that is what I should've done.
Hindsight has the best useless advice. Be gentle with yourself.
It's in the bin heh.
test the chocolate on a mouse
Could this be whoever nicked your chilli crop? And the choc is a sorta kinda apology?
Have you mentioned the degree to any other neighbours? He might have heard about it that way, and is trying to make conversation, very awkwardly. But still weird to mention it to you. And donβt eat the chocolates.
that's the weird thing I haven't mentioned it. It's the most boring conversaion killer degree you can think of.
