>>23966867Hmm that's totally weird ... did you ever punish those psychos or did they get away with it?
Well, I don't know if this counts, but a few years ago, I went to visit a friend in eastern europe. I decided to vanish into thin air one night while we were out late at a bar. I got two inches from his face and quoted the line from terminator, "Hey, buddy. You got a dead cat in there, or what?”
I went back to partying like nothing had happened, and made sure he could see me chatting and dancing for the next thirty minutes. Then, I boogied out backwards, just slipped out the establishment and into the freezing cold night. I got a hotel and the next day traded enough crypto to buy a return flight. Before I left, I took off my signature trench coat, ripped off the sleeves and put everything outside his irish friend's apartment, along with a bunch of covid safety literature I picked up at various airports during my trip there (it was during covid).
i made sure to never log into my steam account again, because he would have saw it. then I moved across the country so he wouldn't find me.
eventually he got to talking to people back home and found out I was alive and managing the second floor of a factory in Cincinnati. And then he actually moved there! no doubt to look for me. So I quit the job and moved somewhere else. This is where things got intense. he started using advanced tactics and hiring private detectives to continue following and tracking me, but I never got caught in person. One time, at my new job, the phone on my desk rang, and the voice said "is this anon?" Unmistakably him. I hung up immediately, but was pretty shaken and another job and city were burned.
I was looking over my shoulder for two more years until he unfortunately died late last year, ending the game of hide and seek. but hey, at least I can game again.
