Delivery driver showed up 3 hours earlier than our scheduled time today.
We weren't home.
He was super nice on the phone, agreed to wait an hour until we could get back.
I don't think he realized we have security cameras.
He took a pretend joyride in our UTV parked outside the shop. Cracking himself up fake driving.
Then he walked around Facetiming his wife... showing her the snowplow, the UTV, the A&W Drive In (yes, we bought that sucker and reconstructed it on our property)...
When we got home we found him sitting on a giant rock face off the front of the deck, grinning from ear to ear. "I am just sitting enjoying this view. This is incredible."
I've never instantly liked someone more.
My coworker used to take the long way home every night. Two extra bus stops, more walking, more money, more time. One day I asked her why she didn’t just take the shortcut alley behind our building.
She laughed and said, “Oh, because a guy followed me there once and told me he could ‘do whatever he wanted’ and no one would hear me scream.”
So now, every night, she calls a male friend and pretends she’s on the phone with her “boyfriend.” Sometimes she even laughs loudly and says things like, “Yeah, I’ll see you in five minutes, babe,” even when she’s completely alone.
Not because she wants attention.
Not because she’s dramatic.
Because sounding ���taken” and “protected” is safer than sounding like a woman by herself.
Men cannot even begin to understand the calculations women make every day just to get home alive.
