Take these 4 occurrences, which all represent the same nonsense/set ups and tell me why they are happening?

  • I accidentally leave my sunglasses on top of some recycling bin in the airport and when I go back to try to find them, I see a guy about 15 feet in front of me right next to the same bin and he's seemingly taking sunglasses out from a case in his hand and putting a different pair in their place. I assume they're mine and I yell out “Hey, did you just find those?”, when suddenly I hear some security guy to my left yell out to me.

    Turns out the security guy had mine. This other guy JUST HAPPENED to be standing at the location I left them and JUST HAPPENED to be putting sunglasses into a case right when I looked at him.

    What the fuck is the purpose of this kind of set up? Who is creating this? Am I being watched and people just want to see some kind of confused communication and see how I react? Is it some kind of test/lesson to show that I should never just assume anything?

  • My Aunt was on her way to visit me while I was in Seattle and she’d be arriving at my hotel in a couple minutes. I realized I hadn’t looked at my Uber app to see how close she was for a few minutes now, so she might be here already…since she was only a few minutes away last time I looked.

    As I'm pulling my cell phone out of my pocket, my hotel room phone rings, so I assume it’s the front desk calling me to tell me she had arrived and to ask whether or not they should send her up.

    Normally when the front desk calls my room to let me know something like a food delivery is here (that I already know is here because I track it in the app), I don't even give them a chance to say anything, I just immediately pick up the phone and say "yes, please send them up" (so to avoid ANY distractions or lengthy explanation by them about someone being here for me). It may seem dick-ish, but I do it anyway because I try to avoid having a phone receiver to my ear for too long and because I believe the people on the other end are part of whatever/whoever is fucking with me in this reality.

    Anyway, I answer the room phone and INSTEAD of doing what I would normally do (9 times out of 10), I decide to just say "hello?" this time. Not sure why I did it, but I did it. NOPE, the front desk isn't calling about Aunt Marsha arriving, they're calling, randomly, for a different, completely extraneous reason (when I haven't even gotten a single phone call from the hotel the entire time I’ve been here). Some girl says "Hi, I'm Brittany and I just wanted to know how you're enjoying your stay so far?".

    I tell her her call is bullshit and was done to fuck with me because they knew I would think it was for one thing but then it would end up being for something completely different, at the EXACT TIME my Aunt might have been arriving (she would arrive about 5 minutes later).

    The key here is that normally I would have just said "please send her up" without even giving them the chance to say anything. So had I done that, this Brittany person would have been like "huh, what?". This was all a set up, done on purpose to fuck with me.

    I need to know why this kind of thing happens. Is it truly just to fuck with me? Is someone laughing about it? Is there an audience who just wants to see my reaction to the whole thing? What I'm saying is…this kind of thing happens all the fucking time.

  • I call an Uber and it says it will be a BMW 3 series. It’s about a minute away and suddenly a white BMW mini-suv type car pulls up and it seems to have an Uber type logo on the windshield (but I can’t fully see it). It's being driven by some really gay looking guy in a wifebeater and he is looking at me while I’m standing there on the sidewalk (in West Hollywood, which is the most gay area of Los Angeles). I’m wondering if he is my driver.

    Even though the app shows my Uber as being half a block away still, I wonder if it simply hasn’t updated fast enough to show him right there now. So, there is this constant back and forth between me looking at the app and then up at his car to see if he is motioning to me. Each time I look up, this dude is just staring at me and I can’t really tell anything.

    I have no idea whether this particular BMW could fall under any 3 series models, as I'm not really familiar with which series is which. While this is happening, I already have a sense this is one of those typical “let’s fuck with him just to get his mind working (or some other bullshit)” moments and sure enough about 10 seconds later, a black BMW pulls up and it’s my ACTUAL driver.

    So, in West Hollywood, where guys are constantly out roaming for other dudes (I was there to buy incense at a smoke shop), my Uber is supposed to be a BMW…and around the same moment my driver is supposed to be arriving, some other BMW pulls directly in front of me and I'm forced to try to figure out if it's my driver. But, the guy in the car is just sitting there, staring at me.

    I mean, I was one second away from going over to his car to ask him, but I JUST KNEW it was a fucking set up and didn't do it. Once again, like the above examples, it seems like I’m in some kind of “never assume anything” school and I’m just being tested (or fucked with). WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

  • Fedex Home Delivery keeps leaving my boxes at the left side gate of my building, not directly on my porch, which all other delivery people normally do (including the REGULAR Fedex deliveries). So today I decided to devote myself to keeping an eye on the security camera at that gate to see when he arrives, so I can go ask him why he isn't putting the packages where everyone else does.

    While I'm doing this, I suddenly get a Fedex notification that the package I was waiting for has been delivered..and I'm like WTF? I know that once I get that notification, it's too late to speak to the driver...which was the main reason I had the security camera up on my computer all day. But there definitely weren't any Fedex trucks and there is no package showing up on the camera, by the gate.

    So, I now have to go outside and try to figure out what happened. After searching around my entire building, I find my package on the OTHER SIDE of the building at the RIGHT side gate. This has never happened before with Fedex Home Delivery, who always park on the left side of the building and leave packages at the left gate.

    I mean, there’s even a giant sign at the right side gate that says “all deliveries must be made to the left gate side” (where most people just know the code and enter the gate and leave the packages on my actual porch). Once again, this has never happened (someone leaving a package at the right side gate).

    The one day I decide to go through the hassle of keeping on eye on the fucking camera for hours, the "universe" changes the whole thing up, seemingly on purpose, to fuck with me. Why? I have dozens more examples of this exact kind of thing occurring whenever I make a special effort to change my normal routine. Am I in some kind of much more lame version of Curb Your Enthusiasm and people are watching to see stupid shit like this happen to me?
