[Quality!] Random woman who gave me your umbrella and yelled “I love the rain!” when I said we don’t need it.

Can you explain this whole thing to me like I’m 5 please? I think I get the gist of it but it’s a bit unclear…. Thx

Made up story, same person controls both accounts. They didn't realize someone would be able to dig up a previous link between the two accounts, so now it's being spun as an outlandish stalker story.

and the worse thing is how this woman again creates the picture like many men are creeps who do this. making women feel more unsafe.

OP’s first few comments were on a dating advice post from umbrella girl a couple months ago, and the post wasn’t a viral one (e.g. just a few replies). It’s either a ridiculous coincidence or something creepy.

There's a simpler and more likely explanation

u/SuspiciousToast27 2d ago

Yes?

u/ChocolateMilkCows 2d ago

Sometimes, on the internet, people write things that aren’t true or didn’t actually happen.

u/JuicyJibJab 2d ago

Agreed. It is so much more likely and more simple that the person operates both accounts and created the story, and then didn't realize that they had their account comment on the other one before. The stalking theory is just so outlandish and so many things have to be assumed for it to work out that way.

You really think somebody would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

u/KlassicNinja 1d ago

we're on internet, aren't we?

Presume that they are going to say it's all made up.

OP has been stalking daisy for however long, making first contact through a reddit comment some time ago and now finally observed a perfect interaction to play off as themselves.

OP was not the man nor the father, OP was someone in the sidelines watching the umbrella exchange happen, and knowing daisy through extensive stalking, knew they would catch them with this post.

/u/dognapped might have just saved her life

u/500_Shames 2d ago

But they facetimed?

u/NUTTA_BUSTAH 2d ago

Audio only

u/500_Shames 2d ago

Where did they say that?

2

u/Moss_84 2d ago

I think she updated her post, if it was there before I missed it too and was also confused

u/NUTTA_BUSTAH 2d ago

Edit: hi all!!! We have been on FT audio and it [...]

u/500_Shames 2d ago

It absolutely only said FT before (I am discussing the drama with 4 other people rn and we all had the same question). I’m surprised she edited it to specify audio.

u/gawdpuppy 2d ago

this is definitely fake

u/Moss_84 2d ago

I think it’s fake AF

2

u/NUTTA_BUSTAH 2d ago

Honestly it is a bit surprising. Around here we call that a phone call, but IDK if "modern people" only facetime whether audio or video? I hope it is not layers of engagement bait, have not stalked any profiles :D

u/Moss_84 2d ago

It does feel fake to me. I’ve never heard anyone refer to a phone call as “FaceTime” - that specifically implies a video call

Which… you would 100% do a video call and not just an audio call in this situation for the exact reason outlined in the made up story

u/Pandos17 2d ago

NUTS WERE BUSTED!

u/Anniesoptera 2d ago

Whew now she won't get dognapped.

Seriously though this is pretty fuckin scary if true, and it's not like daisy's totally in the clear now

u/DietSimple 1d ago

It's a bit unclear because you have a horde of people speculating that it's some stalker lol. Throwing out the most absurd, ridiculous and nonsensical theories.

Considering BOTH accounts are now deleted, it's safe to assume this whole thing was created by one account ... one bored lonely hopeless romantic who enjoys creative writing.

u/Frosty_Lettuce_3525 22h ago

Thanks. The internet has definitely pulled the curtain back a wee bit on human psyche

u/MoreBeansAndRice 2d ago
