Stranger in My Driveway
Anyway, so yeah, so it's really important for me to have my phone contacts and nothing was backed up. I haven't backed it up in over a year and a half. So last night it was like 10 o'clock. I ordered food. My food was coming to my house and I wanted to go outside and I wanted to check to see if the gate was open so the guy can get in. And my car was the only way to open the gate and the gate wasn't open. So I had to open the gate, but I haven't driven my car in so long that my car was completely dead, and it was parked too far from the charger where I couldn't plug in, so I couldn't turn back on. It was just dead. So I was like, fuck, okay, I'm screwed. But as I was out there, I also noticed a guy who had his car parked right up against my gate on the other side and was just waiting for me. And he was like, hello. He was, hello. And I go, hi. This is 10 o'clock at night. Hi. And he goes, um, I'm just wondering, uh, I've talked to your other neighbors, but your Ford— do you own that Ford Bronco? Because it's unlocked, and I just I want to make sure that no one steals anything from it. It's a ridiculous thing to come up and say to a person at 10 o'clock at night. Yeah, especially because the Ford Bronco is basically a fucking convertible. So what the hell would we have in that car? It doesn't matter if it's unlocked. That's how it— that's how it lives, is it's unlocked. So yeah, so I got freaked out. So I'm like, I don't know what this guy wants. And I told him that. I was like, okay, thank you. And then instead of leaving, he went and he parked right by the Ford Bronco and stayed in his car with the lights on, just waiting for me, I think, to go check if the car was unlocked. So I was like, okay, fuck it, I'm not gonna go. I'm not going out the front door. So I called my— I called my Postmates guy and I was like, stay, don't come to my house, stay at the bottom of the street, do not come up to the street. And I gave him new like coordinates or like a new street to meet me.
