Had a chat with my mailman that messed with my head

He told me he's been delivering packages to my neighbor's house for 3 years but nobody lives there... just a guy who comes by once a week to pick stuff up. Made me wonder how many other weird routines I'm ignoring on my own street. You ever catch something like that that flips how you see a normal day?

Just a guy who comes by once a week to pick stuff up" sounds like the plot of a low-budget thriller, honestly. Either your neighbor's running a side business in something shady or he's got a really aggressive subscription to Cheese of the Month. Maybe just start leaving him passive-aggressive notes on his packages asking if he's seen any raccoons lately, you know, to keep it casual.

Oh, I've been thinking about this differently. What if the guy isn't the one ordering the packages at all? Maybe someone else is sending them to his address without him knowing, and he's just the middleman. Could be a lazy ex or a prank war he doesn't realize he's still in. Or worse, it's a test run for something bigger, like seeing if packages get stolen or noticed before they start sending stuff that actually matters. Either way, I'd start watching for any unmarked vans circling the block around the same time each week.
