The other day I was hanging out with my friend Lina who lives 25 mins away from me by car, but an hour and a half away by bus. My mom drove me over there and I took the bus home. I had been helping Lina move, so I was wearing my corset over the dress I was wearing in case I had to lift heavy objects (but also I just want a smaller waist in general tbh). After getting a boba for the bus ride, and walking to my closest bus stop, I realized I could meet up with my friend Ellie at my local mall instead of going all the way home right away. So I texted her to ask if she wanted to meet up and she agreed. As I’m on the bus she’s texting me frequently. “Gotta get a vape so I’ll head down there now” “Are u sure u can’t meet me sooner” “We should go out to a bar. I really wanna meet a boy” “How far away are u?” Stuff like that. Anyway she was excited. I responded to what I could but I was also trying to get some work done while I was on the bus, so I wasn’t texting back super often. Once I got to the mall, I really had to pee so I went inside macys to use the restroom, but got briefly distracted by the clearance section shoes. Just after I had exited the restroom, Ellie called me to ask where I was and let me know that she’ll be at in n out. I told her that I’d meet her there and ended the phone call. I quickly looked through the clearance section shoes, grabbed the ones I wanted, checked out, and exited the store. I finally arrived at in n out and immediately spotted Ellie. She was sitting by herself eating her fries. She had first looked up at me when I opened the door and walked inside, but there was no recognition in her face, which I thought was strange, but I just brushed it off because I’ve been looking a little different recently (eyebrow tattoo, lighter & shorter hair, \~4lb weight gain maybe 🤷‍♀️) But once we greeted each other and I had sat down, the vibe totally shifted. She was really quiet and spacey. But one of the first things she said was “Actually I might go home, I’m not feeling too well” Apparently her stomach was hurting from the fries, or at least that’s what she said in the moment. I told her I was sorry, and I hoped she felt better, she said thanks and then left shortly after. We were only able to hang out for like 20 mins maximum. I was so disappointed. She had totally hyped up the night and I thought it would be so fun. Left sitting there alone at that in n out table, I wondered to myself if it was something I did. Maybe it did have to do with my eyebrow tattoo. I had just redone it, and maybe the new shape made my facial expressions look slightly different, like maybe she thought I was mad at her or something. Maybe it was my timing. I didn’t need to stop to get those new shoes, for example. She might have spent all her energy she had for our night out just waiting for me. Maybe I wasn’t responsive enough when I was on the bus so she thought I didn’t care. But whatever it was, it wasn’t my responsibility to try to figure out, so I let it go and headed over to Five Below across the street to grab a couple things before they closed for the night, and headed home. The next day I told my therapist what had happened, and she said that it sucks that I feel like I did something wrong, but, realistically, it was probably nothing to do with me. So I breathed a sigh of relief and continued about my day. Then I checked my messages. Ellie apologized, said she was feeling loopy and overwhelmed, and thanked me for meeting her there anyway. Then she said this. (Photo at the top, you might have to click to see the whole thing) I asked Lina and my other friend Mia what they thought about the situation and they both thought it was wrong of Ellie to say this to me. But I’ve gotten other comments like this as well from other people in the past, basically saying that I’m dressing inappropriately. I’m hanging out with Mia’s sister sapphire tomorrow, so I’m also going to ask her what she thinks but I have a feeling she’ll also be of the same opinion. So anyway I wanted to ask a group of people who have no allegiance to me whatsoever, so that I could get an unbiased opinion. Do you think my outfit was inappropriate? Was it really giving underwear? If it had matched the dress color better would it have looked fine? If I had worn more necklaces to cover my cleavage would it have been better? And most importantly, what should I say in response? *side note: I can’t wear that corset underneath clothing because it leaves painful marks on my skin when I do because of how tight I tie it submitted by /u/BarbaraLogic to r/OUTFITS [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/ThatOneCloneTrooper For months I was confused why I kept finding long hairs in my house. Then I saw my neighbour coming out of my house. Originally posted to r/creepyencounters Thanks to u/queenlegolas for suggesting this BoRU TRIGGER WARNING: Stalking, invasion of privacy, breaking and entry MOOD SPOILER: Extremely creepy Original Post May 6, 2026 I'm a man in my 20s that lives alone on the very top floor of an apartment block. I've had short hair for the last 10 years of my life. The longest hair on my head is maybe an inch long if that even. However, across my house I kept finding long hairs on the floor. Like, long brunette hairs, at least 5-6 inches. Sometimes longer. And they would be everywhere. Bathroom floor, in the shower, in my cupboard, in my kitchen, on old clothes, living room floor and sofas etc etc. I've been single since November and clean often enough that I'm certain it's not my ex-girlfriends' hairs. Plus the colour doesn't match anyway, she had solid black hair, these are more a light brunette. Plus, finding them in the places like the shower? Where running water is hitting all the sides 5+ times a week? Anyway, I waved it off as "well I work with a lot of people and use the gym and bus sometimes so naturally hairs are going to stick to my clothes"... Well. One day (this past April) I finished my early am gym session and got the call that I didn't have to go work that day, so naturally I start to walk home all happy that I have the day to myself. I'm on the 5th floor (the upper most floor) of the building and the apartment is in such a way that there is only 1 apartment per floor. I start to hustle up the stairs and don't use the elevator since I'm sweaty from the gym anyway. JUST as I whip a right to go up the last set of stairs from the 4th floor to the 5th floor I see my neighbour's (on the 3rd floor) daughter coming down the stairs. We lock eye-contact. We've never spoken before, mostly because we've never had a reason to but also because out of respect I didn't want to make her uncomfortable since she's 19-21ish and I'm slightly older. The most interaction we've had is that I've spoken to her mother and father before when bumping into each other on the stairs. I gave a confused "hello?" - at this point I'm thinking that she maybe went to knock on my door to ask for something? A cup of sugar maybe I don't know? I was expecting her to reply with something like "oh hi, do you have any xyz"... Nope. She gave a silent "hey" and brushed right past me. And only then when the smell of my own shampoo hit me did I notice her hair was wet. Like. Fresh out the shower a minute ago wet. Now I'm not saying she showered in my house. Or that I have a stalker that's been living in my house while I've been at work. She very easily could have just been there to ask for something. And most generic brand shampoos smell the same. But don't the pieces all fit a bit too well? Her hair colour matches the hairs I would find around my apartment. And like I said before, they were EVERYWHERE. In my bed to in my sock draws. And if it is a case of me having a stalker? How did she know I came home early enough to bolt out the shower in time? Our apartment doesn't have cameras, its an older building from before 2000. And why would she be stalking me? For how long has she been doing this? We've never dated, never had a proper conversation, I maybe saw her 20 times in the past 2 years given that I work and she (presumably) studies or works too. As all these thoughts are buzzing through my head and I'm standing outside my door for a solid 2 minutes grappling with what just happened. I go to turn the key to my door and it opens without me having to unlock it. And I know for a fact I always double lock my door. It's the type with a lock near waist level and a 2nd more secure lock with a different key around shoulder level. I drop my bag, throw off my shoes and run to the shower. And yep. It's wet. I hadn't showered since yesterday morning. I'm a confrontational person, not that I go looking for fights but I'll definitely pursue an answer if something is bugging me. So back down the stairs to the 3rd floor I went, knocked on the door of my apparent stalker and her family. She opens the door but with the chain still on. I see half of her face from behind the door. "Yes?" - "Umm can I help? Were you at my door or inside? I don't want to make this a police thing now but you came down the stairs and I know you were inside?" - "I just had to get something, it won't happen again.. ok bye see you" Door closed. This happened last month, I've been cleaning my house every weekend closely now and got the locks changed and put a motion sensor camera above my door. It only films and triggers on the steps coming up to my door so the 4th apartment still have their privacy. So far so good, I don't think she's been inside since. But looking back, I think she'd been living in or going in or whatever in to my apartment since January because that's my earliest memory of finding hairs. She never took anything of value like my laptop or the few watches I have. Seemingly she just showered and ate some of my food and laid in my bed? I do now also always take the elevator and avoid the 3rd floor like the plague. EDIT: I'm not really worried about my safety because 1. I'm 200lb and do a lot of fighting training and 2. The new camera has never gone off once since installed other than myself triggering it when I'm home. Finally 3. I told the old retired husband and wife on the 4th floor that I suspected a robber was trying to break into my apartment last month (I didn't want to start spreading rumours and gossip) and asked them to keep an ear out when I'm at work. I feel fine and safe. Just creeped out. Like my personal space had been violated. EDIT 2: Someone DMed me to check my coats and bags for airtags as to how maybe she knew I was coming home early that day. I don't have a lot of stuff so I think I would have 100% found it by now given how often I clean but I'll defo do another sweep of my stuff. Update May 12, 2026 (Re-upload - Mod said first post broke rule 6 so I've taken a bunch of details out) Hi all, update following my last post a week back about me catching neighbour coming out of my apartment having used my shower. My cousin’s husband is a police officer so I went to him directly about filing a report. He came over to my apartment first as I gave him a visual break down of what happened on the stairs and changes odd things I’d noticed in my apartment since January. Primarily just hairs everywhere and missing food. And how my door was unlocked that day. Though I did a thorough clean following the event on the stairs my police friend was able to still find some hairs and so he bagged those up. I gave him my statement in detail and some dates best I could, when I remember finding the first hair; when I first noticed food going missing etc. Also he advised me not to talk to the family not even with a friend to avoid any confusion or get lawyers involved or muddy the waters with accusations. With all that done he left and came back 2-3 days later. He and his partner went to talk to the family on Sunday because they knew both parents would likely be home then. Long story short she confessed to everything immediately and broke down into tears and apologised once my police friend brought up how 5 months of entering someone’s house even with keys is still very much an offence and she could easily end up with a sentence of some should I pursue it. And that that sentence could very easily involve the inside of a jail cell irregardless of if she stole something or not. (I don’t know how true this is, it might have just been my friend and his partner pressing and exaggerating for a confession but it worked). They talked for an hour with the parents and her all in the same room to get answers from her. Then the same day he came up to mine with his partner and they gave me the breakdown. Answers to commonly asked questions below: ⁃ how did she get in/have her own keys? The locks on our doors are the type that use a code on the lock barrel that only the manufacturer or partnered/approved locksmiths have access to. She knew this because her parents got the locks changed when they first moved in. And in fact she used the same locksmith from all the way back then. The locksmith presumably remembered the family and apartment but just didn’t pay attention to it being the 5th floor this time instead of her own 3rd floor. So he came over and took the barrel out, saw the code, went and made a set of keys and done. I was none the wiser. Both my locks on my door are different brands but presumably they operate in the same way so having 2 locks made no difference. ⁃ what was she doing in my apartment? Anyone who said she just needed space, you were right. She has 2 younger step-siblings and her mother is a tutor (not a teacher as I presumed previously, she tutors at home) so at any given point there’s always some kids around the house. She would say to her parents she was going out to study or work or a girl friends house and use my house as a hotel while she studied or relaxed. The reason she used mine was partly because she knew it would be empty but also because my schedule was predictable. As I work an average 9-5 like everyone else but leave the house at 6-6:30 to get gym done too that essentially gave her the house from 6 to 5. ⁃ How long? My guess was right. It started in January, once she figured I’d broken up with my gf at the time around November. My gf would stay at mine when I went to work and back sometimes so yea that would have been an interesting situation if they had crossed paths. ⁃ So then how did she knew I was coming home early that day? And that I wasn’t going to work straight after gym like usual and so she bolted out the shower? Or on the days I didn’t go gym how did she know not to come in? Two fold. Firstly I go to a commercial gym in my country and so they have an app. Irregardless of if you’re a member or not, one of the things the app lets you see is how many people are in each branch so you can see how full it is. All you have to do is download it and scan the QR code at the entrance by the turnstiles to add it to the “my gyms” tab. It literally shows you like “Branch No. 21 (Address) - 9/50 - 18% full”, she would refresh the app in the morning and if it went up by 1 around 6-6:30am and she heard me go downstairs or use the elevator (not hard when it’s 6am and the apartment is otherwise silent) then she would know the house is empty. Now for the creepiest most messed up bit of it all. She had put an AirTag on my car. She insisted that she had only put it recently and initially just presumably gambled that I wouldn’t be home sooner than expected (or maybe she just put an ear to the door), but then one thing lead to another and yea. (I don’t know how much I believe this, again this could be an attempt to not look so guilty) That day when we clashed she refreshed the app and saw I left the gym, but then my car didn’t move, she connected the dots and tried to leave asap. When she heard me coming up the stairs she didn’t have time to lock up and so we met on the stairs with my door remaining closed but not locked. (Extra detail, the AirTag was stuck to under my car). ⁃ The using my shower? She claims she didn’t do it always just on hot days or days she couldn’t at home. I can’t deny or confirm this, like I said previously being a gym goer id shower 5+ times a week so. ⁃ How did her parents never notice? Well the dad leaves early for work, 5am ish since his bus route starts around 6. The mom is up around 6-7. But since she’s preparing for her own students for the day + her own kids to send to school she wasn’t too bothered what her eldest 20 year old daughter was doing really. She’d just say “I’m going to the college library” or “I’m going to my girlfriend’s” and that was good enough. ⁃ Did she have a thing for me like a crush? My police friend didn’t really say anything about this presumably he never asked since it’s not as important as other details or it never came back. It makes little difference. ⁃ How’s my standings with the family right now? The mum and dad both apologised to me. The mum via text and the dad in person at my door, he offered to pay for the camera I installed as his daughter was the direct cause of it but it was cheap off of amazon so I said no it’s fine. We had a 10-15 minute conversation and he was very apologetic and explained his daughter had always been extremely quiet and well behaved so something like this would never have crossed his mind in a million years. He added that his daughter’s never had a boyfriend (at least that he knows of) and only has a few friends so her social interaction skills aren’t necessarily top notch and that even when guests would come she’d hide away in the spare room. So to the few people who predicted that maybe Covid and lockdown lead to her not having good social interaction skills. You were half right. He again offered me money for my troubles like missing food, new locks and cleaning etc but I felt bad enough already I declined. He did also ask if I would press charges and I again said no. More on that below. He said he will send his daughter to apologise to me in person too when the situation has calmed down as she’s apparently very very tense and upset and hasn’t left her room in days. ⁃ Am I going to press charges? No. I’m still not happy about the situation ESPECIALLY the f**ing AirTag on my car, but the family is apologetic as well as the culprit herself and honestly no one is going to gain anything from this. I would like an apology though. (For anyone that cares about the extra detail, she got the AirTag as a gift a while back from her parents because she kept losing her stuff) ⁃ Have I seen her since? No, she won’t apparently leave her room and is terrified that I’ll press charges, though presumably her family’s told her I said I won’t. ⁃ How do I currently feel? Well I was never especially worried or nervous just really really creeped out about the whole situation. It felt like I’d been a parasite host and somehow never noticed until then. I currently still feel a little angry and a small part of me is thinking to seek “revenge” but any “revenge” I seek like money or slander is truthfully going to impact the parents more than her. - Do I feel bad for her? Truthfully? No. She’s not 10. She’s 20 or something and educated so yea you should be remorseful, feel guilty and scared. Get over that hump and we’ll talk. Plus there’s loads of spaces for young adults like public libraries and her college spaces. By no means was my house the only viable option. ⁃ Finally. Did she use my bed? Or wear my clothes? Believe it or not. Yes. She did. ⁃ Any advice I can give? Check your wifi devices. If I had checked that I would have noticed her phone and laptop all the way back when. Obviously my wifi modem is in my house and so she helped herself to that. Again it’s one of those things. How often does one check their wifi devices. Truthfully, with all my family visiting me and their devices I probably wouldn’t have noticed 1 extra phone amongst the existing 10+ but I 100% WOULD have noticed the 1 extra laptop. So let that be a lesson to all. And yes I have removed her devices from the list and changed my password.

You need to inform her parents and the landlord and explain you will call the police if you even suspect she’s back in there. Locks changed, hidden cameras inside and obvious one on outside of your door. WTF?!? OOP Genuinely no idea. Off the top of my head maybe she called a locksmith and did the old "I'm the gf/owner and got locked out" deal. But even then, that doesn't explain how she'd get a key? Unless locksmiths offer that service and I'm not aware. I would go to the police but I have no evidence. Even the police picked up her hairs across the apartment they could easily just think we had a fling or something and now I'm trying to get a restraining order or something. I don't want to get things messed up. There's no landlord, I own the apartment, I think pretty much everyone owns theirs in our building. I would love to inform her parents but how do you even start that conversation? The dad's a bus driver who works crazy hours and the mum's a teacher (I think), both in their 50s I don't know honestly how to go about this. LifeworksGames Why do I get the feeling that this girl may just have a very tragic backstory. Either that or she was just intruding for funsies, but I doubt that. OOP She's an introvert for sure, I know her parents somewhat because they're quite the chatty type. I'm pretty sure her dads a bus driver and the mums (maybe) a teacher? They're seemingly a very normal happy and healthy family. The mum would always bring me cake on Christmas and stuff because she knows I live alone and I'd give them gifts from my travels. So really no clue (that I can pick up on) that she has a tragic home life. Pineapplegirl1234 That’s prob what time she always leaves. Imagine if you would have caught her in your shower. Wild!! OOP I go gym like 6am to 8am and work 9am to 5pm ish. So I was back home around 8:15am ish that day. If that's the case then she was waking up at 5:30 and waiting for me to leave. But why go through so much creepy extra effort just to take a shower at some guys house?? CPlus902 That's pretty fuckin' creepy. The tamest answer I can think of is that she has/had a thing for you, and instead of doing the Normal Person Thing and talking to you, flirting experimentally, and maybe even asking you out if you didn't do it first, she opted for the Very Weird Thing and started sneaking into your apartment when you weren't there. OOP The one person I told this story too IRL is a female friend I've had since we were kids. She threw out a similar theory especially when I said I noticed after my food would go missing and it wasn't me eating and forgetting. She suggested that maybe she was "role-playing" or something at my house. I mean. Definitely creepy. But yea I think a text or letter asking me to a coffee may have been the more LEGAL approach if she has a thing for me. 0123justme0123 Is it possible she had a set of keys from the prior owner of your apartment? Sometimes neighbors leave keys with each other when they go away to water plants, feed animals, take mail in, etc. Or if you did change them when you moved in did you ever lose your keys? Is there a window she could have gotten in through? However she managed it she was probably using your place as her own personal getaway space away from her family. I can't believe she would have the guts to do that, and it's still super creepy to know someone invaded your privacy and was in your home on multiple occasions. OOP I moved in before her family if I’m not mistaken, like a year before hand so I doubt they’d have any left over spare keys from the previous tenants who I never even met. It never occurred to me to change the locks when moving in mostly because I live in a small town that has like 1 mugging a year. Low crime so you know. Window is impossible I’m on the 5th floor and all my windows look out to the building so unless she’s Spider-Man it’s not happening. I’m 99% sure now following other comments she went to a lock smith and maybe lied about ID or something to get some illegal keys. Bad enough she invaded my privacy but she helped herself to everything in the house too like even my bed seemingly. kakashi_hotcakes how many bathrooms are there per unit? just one? since she had all day but was (caught) going in the morning i wonder if it started out with her and her parents needing the bathroom at the same time and rather than just waking up earlier, she decided to use yours. once she got more comfortable, she started helping herself to your food etc. since someone like that would clearly have no boundaries OOP It’s one per unit. And it’s insane if she thought that breaking into my house and making herself at home in my bedroom and kitchen via an illegal key was the better option than setting an alarm earlier. EitherOrResolution She’s a weird teenager OOP Pretty sure she’s like 19+ just because her parents told me she graduated if I’m not mistaken unless they were talking about a sibling I’ve not come across. Final update - after 6 days May 12, 2026 [UPDATE] For months I was confused why I kept finding long hairs in my house. Then I saw my neighbour coming out of my house. Hi all, update following my last post a week back about me catching neighbour coming out of my apartment having used my shower. My cousin’s husband is a police officer so I went to him directly about filing a report. He came over to my apartment first as I gave him a visual break down of what happened on the stairs and changes odd things I’d noticed in my apartment since January. Primarily just hairs everywhere and missing food. And how my door was unlocked that day. Though I did a thorough clean following the event on the stairs my police friend was able to still find some hairs and so he bagged those up. I gave him my statement in detail and some dates best I could, when I remember finding the first hair; when I first noticed food going missing etc. Also he advised me not to talk to the family not even with a friend to avoid any confusion or get lawyers involved or muddy the waters with accusations. With all that done he left and came back 2-3 days later. He and his partner went to talk to the family on Sunday because they knew both parents would likely be home then. Long story short she confessed to everything immediately and broke down into tears and apologised once my police friend brought up how 5 months of entering someone’s house even with keys is still very much an offence and she could easily end up with a sentence of some should I pursue it. And that that sentence could very easily involve the inside of a jail cell irregardless of if she stole something or not. (I don’t know how true this is, it might have just been my friend and his partner pressing and exaggerating for a confession but it worked). They talked for an hour with the parents and her all in the same room to get answers from her. Then the same day he came up to mine with his partner and they gave me the breakdown. Answers to commonly asked questions below: how did she get in/have her own keys? The locks on our doors are the type that use a code on the lock barrel that only the manufacturer or partnered/approved locksmiths have access to. She knew this because her parents got the locks changed when they first moved in. And in fact she used the same locksmith from all the way back then. The locksmith presumably remembered the family and apartment but just didn’t pay attention to it being the 5th floor this time instead of her own 3rd floor. So he came over and took the barrel out, saw the code, went and made a set of keys and done. I was none the wiser. Both my locks on my door are different brands but presumably they operate in the same way so having 2 locks made no difference. what was she doing in my apartment? Anyone who said she just needed space, you were right. She has 2 younger step-siblings and her mother is a tutor (not a teacher as I presumed previously, she tutors at home) so at any given point there’s always some kids around the house. She would say to her parents she was going out to study or work or a girl friends house and use my house as a hotel while she studied or relaxed. The reason she used mine was partly because she knew it would be empty but also because my schedule was predictable. As I work an average 9-5 like everyone else but leave the house at 6-6:30 to get gym done too that essentially gave her the house from 6 to 5. How long? My guess was right. It started in January, once she figured I’d broken up with my gf at the time around November. My gf would stay at mine when I went to work and back sometimes so yea that would have been an interesting situation if they had crossed paths. So then how did she knew I was coming home early that day? And that I wasn’t going to work straight after gym like usual and so she bolted out the shower? Or on the days I didn’t go gym how did she know not to come in? Two fold. Firstly I go to a commercial gym in my country and so they have an app. Irregardless of if you’re a member or not, one of the things the app lets you see is how many people are in each branch so you can see how full it is. All you have to do is download it and scan the QR code at the entrance by the turnstiles to add it to the “my gyms” tab. It literally shows you like “Branch No. 21 (Address) - 9/50 - 18% full”, she would refresh the app in the morning and if it went up by 1 around 6-6:30am and she heard me go downstairs or use the elevator (not hard when it’s 6am and the apartment is otherwise silent) then she would know the house is empty. Now for the creepiest most messed up bit of it all. She had put an AirTag on my car. She insisted that she had only put it recently and initially just presumably gambled that I wouldn’t be home sooner than expected (or maybe she just put an ear to the door), but then one thing lead to another and yea. (I don’t know how much I believe this, again this could be an attempt to not look so guilty) That day when we clashed she refreshed the app and saw I left the gym, but then my car didn’t move, she connected the dots and tried to leave asap. When she heard me coming up the stairs she didn’t have time to lock up and so we met on the stairs with my door remaining closed but not locked. (Extra detail, the AirTag was stuck to under my car). The using my shower? She claims she didn’t do it always just on hot days or days she couldn’t at home. I can’t deny or confirm this, like I said previously being a gym goer id shower 5+ times a week so. How did her parents never notice? Well the dad leaves early for work, 5am ish since his bus route starts around 6. The mom is up around 6-7. But since she’s preparing for her own students for the day + her own kids to send to school she wasn’t too bothered what her eldest 20 year old daughter was doing really. She’d just say “I’m going to the college library” or “I’m going to my girlfriend’s” and that was good enough. Did she have a thing for me like a crush? My police friend didn’t really say anything about this presumably he never asked since it’s not as important as other details or it never came back. It makes little difference. How’s my standings with the family right now? The mum and dad both apologised to me. The mum via text and the dad in person at my door, he offered to pay for the camera I installed as his daughter was the direct cause of it but it was cheap off of amazon so I said no it’s fine. We had a 10-15 minute conversation and he was very apologetic and explained his daughter had always been extremely quiet and well behaved so something like this would never have crossed his mind in a million years. He added that his daughter’s never had a boyfriend (at least that he knows of) and only has a few friends so her social interaction skills aren’t necessarily top notch and that even when guests would come she’d hide away in the spare room. So to the few people who predicted that maybe Covid and lockdown lead to her not having good social interaction skills. You were half right. He again offered me money for my troubles like missing food, new locks and cleaning etc but I felt bad enough already I declined. He did also ask if I would press charges and I again said no. More on that below. He said he will send his daughter to apologise to me in person too when the situation has calmed down as she’s apparently very very tense and upset and hasn’t left her room in days. Am I going to press charges? No. I’m still not happy about the situation ESPECIALLY the f**ing AirTag on my car, but the family is apologetic as well as the culprit herself and honestly no one is going to gain anything from this. I would like an apology though. (For anyone that cares about the extra detail, she got the AirTag as a gift a while back from her parents because she kept losing her stuff) Have I seen her since? No, she won’t apparently leave her room and is terrified that I’ll press charges, though presumably her family’s told her I said I won’t. How do I currently feel? Well I was never especially worried or nervous just really really creeped out about the whole situation. It felt like I’d been a parasite host and somehow never noticed until then. I currently still feel a little angry and a small part of me is thinking to seek “revenge” but any “revenge” I seek like money or slander is truthfully going to impact the parents more than her. Do I feel bad for her? Truthfully? No. She’s not 10. She’s 20 or something and educated so yea you should be remorseful, feel guilty and scared. Get over that hump and we’ll talk. Plus there’s loads of spaces for young adults like public libraries and her college spaces. By no means was my house the only viable option. Finally. Did she use my bed? Or wear my clothes? Believe it or not. Yes. She did. Any advice I can give? Check your wifi devices. If I had checked that I would have noticed her phone and laptop all the way back when. Obviously my wifi modem is in my house and so she helped herself to that. Again it’s one of those things. How often does one check their wifi devices. Truthfully, with all my family visiting me and their devices I probably wouldn’t have noticed 1 extra phone amongst the existing 10+ but I 100% WOULD have noticed the 1 extra laptop. So let that be a lesson to all. And yes I have removed her devices from the list and changed my password.   COMMENTS OOP to a long comment I don’t feel bad for her, I feel bad for her family. I don’t think she’s a threat to anyone at this point. Her parents will most likely have her on a very tight leash from now on. 100% there’s mental issues at play here, that combined with her not really stealing anything or doing me any major harm makes me not so mad and vengeful. I’m not trying to be all macho, I just don’t think the legal process is worth the effort. If anything happens again her names on file and the police have her noted down as someone who’s committed breaking and entering. I suspect if as much a toothpick goes missing somewhere and is reported she’ll be a suspect. Due_Addition_587 When you first posted this, I thought she was an awkward tween. She is 20 years old! Personally, I would press charges so she sees how bad this behavior is. What if she uses the info she's gained doing this to you to do things like, a) rob somebody; b) stalk somebody; c) hurt somebody. She sees she can get away scot-free. This wouldn't necessarily hurt the parents more than her - she is a grown-ass adult!! OOP I don’t think pressing any charges is worth it. It’s a long legal process and her getting a jail sentence isn’t going to make me any happier or less violated. Her parents and the police are aware of her actions and so I’m sure she’ll be on a tight leash and very well behaved from now on. dembowthennow Why did she do this? Did she ever explain her motivations? OOP Too many kids in the house. She wanted her own space. And so she welcomed herself to mine. That’s what she says at least. Take it with a grain of salt. OOP to a long thread Not so easy given that I’ve purchased this apartment, if I was only renting I’d most likely be looking to leave. I’ve put a camera on my entrance and everyone’s aware now. Parents, police, me, some of my family and her. If as the camera triggers or I get even the slightest hint of her breaking in and again I’ll rain down hell but I don’t think she has the guts at all. Ok-Appearance-866 I'm glad you got answers. If it were me, that would be the part that would have bothered me the most. Very concerning behavior on her part. I think my first call would be to the locksmith to let them know what happened. Think about it: if the locksmith had not been so lackadaisical about it all, this never would have happened to you. OOP My police friend spoke to the locksmith. He was meant to check for ID or proof of residence I’m pretty sure but didn’t. So he got a visit from the police to let him know what happened so he’s more careful next time.   This is a repost sub. I’m not the Original OP (OOP) Please remember to follow the subreddit rules, especially the ones about brigading. Let’s aim for a respectful and friendly discussion for everyone involved. submitted by /u/BigONerd to r/BORUpdates [link] [comments]

before I start, my local animal control guy has picked him up and taken him to get checked on! I'd just gotten home and was still in my car when I saw this fella walk up and crawl under the front half of my car. I got out very cautiously in case he was aggressive but he was a huge sweetie and very chill. I let him into my mudroom which he had no problem walking into (he even wanted to get into the rest of my house but I have other cats) and got him some wet food which he gobbled down. He wasn't behaving oddly, just clearly desperately hungry. He looked even skinnier in person, it was devastating (I was crying like a baby). His skin didn't feel out of the ordinary or like there was any infection going on in my opinion, but I could be wrong. He's also neutered, so it's clear he's had an owner at some point, especially with how normal he is with people and houses, and seems maybe around 6 years old if I were to guess, maybe older. The animal control guy showed up and picked him up. I told him if he needs a home I'll absolutely take him, and he said he'll keep me posted once they have him checked out. I haven't heard back yet but I'm hoping I will soon. If anyone has any ideas on what could have happened to this poor guy I'd really love to hear them. He said it didn't look like there was any mange. I'm wondering how he could have lost so much hair and gotten so skinny. I live in the middle of nowhere where there's lots of woods and rodents around and strays around here can typically keep themselves fed fine. I'm also wondering if his skin pattern is normal? All thats left of his hair was black and I didn't see any white hairs, or else I would have guessed he's a black and white cat, but I'm not sure. I'd love any insight. Thank you 🥺 UPDATE *** I've heard back. He brought the cat to the humane society and gave me their info. He initially said he didn't believe it was mange, but is now saying it appears to be that, as well as giardia, and that he should be fine with treatment. Yes I disinfected and cleaned everything (And because some people were justifiably concerned about calling animal control over this, this guy is a family friend who I've known forever and knew I could trust to call) I'm going to call the humane society as soon as they're open to get some more details. I believe he let them know I was interested in taking him if he needed a home but I'll let them know personally to make sure. This place has a good rep and I don't think they'd rush to euthanize him without good reason. I'll update again when I've got more info. thank you guys for caring about this little guy like I do ❤️❤️ and uh to those saying he's "not unhealthy skinny" respectfully open ya damn eyes and never own a cat maybe? UPDATE 2******* I've been in contact with the humane society. First off, he's a she! I apparently mistook her anatomy for a male's? I'm a little confused about that cuz I could've sworn, but I guess I was wrong. She had a vet appointment soon after the day I found her and they didn't find a microchip. They gave her the name Sand Dollar (which is a cute name but not very fitting for her considering she's a black cat 😅 I'm brainstorming different names now) Bad news first, a few of you suggested hyperthyroidism and you're unfortunately right. For those that don't know it's an issue with hormones that affects the metabolism and causes hair and weight loss. They also think she's a senior and she's going to have to be on special food and meds for the rest of her life. It does look like she was shaved as well to get rid of mats like a lot of people were saying. The good news is she's being treated and is on her way to recovery ❤️‍🩹 They said to call and check once a week on her progress until she's well enough to be released from their care. I asked if I could visit but they said she can't be seen until she's available to be picked up, and it might be a matter of weeks to months. They also have some additional testing to do to make sure nothing else is wrong with her. A lot of you wanted an update where I've adopted her and nursed her back to health but it's looking like that won't be for a while unfortunately. I hope this becomes the case soon but until then I'll continue checking on her weekly and follow up with an update when I hear anything new. Thank you guys again 💗💗 submitted by /u/chromedygold to r/CATHELP [link] [comments]

I love how all my curls now have a place, but I feel like the roundness doesn't suit me and this shorter cut is playing in on all my body insecurities. I'm 34 and I fear it makes me look old, fat and not feminine or cute. I'm usually not difficult about my hair, it's just hair. But something isn't giving this time. Any advice other than to grow it out? Second pic was my before. EDIT: I am completely blown away by how many lovely comments I got! This comment thread has made me realize how much I look down on myself and how badly I feel about myself because I would never have expected people to see me the way you all described me to be. I've been in a dark place for the last half year due to medication side effects and it's really hard to feel good about anything at the moment. But it goes deeper, I'm a mom of 5 kids and I've completely lost my style and sense of self in the process of having kids. My plan is to lean in to this new haircut and try to rediscover myself and find what I love and build my confidence back up. Thank you all so much for the love 🩷🩷🩷 submitted by /u/happysewing to r/HairStyleAdvice [link] [comments]

My 9yo has long, extremely thick blond hair. I do two Dutch braids every 1-2 days, because it’s too hot/heavy for her to wear it down and also gets matted quickly if she does (she’s an active kid!). Routine: We wash once a week with OGX extra strength coconut miracle oil shampoo and conditioner. Then for a leave in I use either Mayoliva Intensive conditioning (which a stylist recommended but often feels too heavy?) or Orbis Essence In Hair Milk. We let it air dry overnight in one (very) loose braid (silk pillowcase, she won’t wear a bonnet), and then when I brush it out during the week for re-braids I use either more Orbis, or Hask argan oil 5-in-1 leave in spray, or Johnson & Johnson No More Tangles spray which I’ve been using her whole life and still works well. I’m looking for leave in conditioner/refresh products because what we have now either feel too heavy or not moisturizing enough. I do brush it every time I rebraid but try to get it at least damp first. Photo 1: brushed out between braids Photo 2: post trim/diffuse/styling at salon Photo 3: at home styling for a school event—half up top bun, curl cream on the bottom Photo 4: to show the thickness of one braid, but usually I do two Dutch braids ETA I have a feeling it would be even curlier if I wasn’t always brushing/braiding it, or if it were shorter/more layered, but those are no-gos for her right now submitted by /u/Dry-Constant6236 to r/curlyhair [link] [comments]
