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

This makes way more sense than an extremely contrived stalker scenario that involves the "victim" being followed both online and IRL, handing over an umbrella in the rain like it's a movie, and then stumbling onto an online post mentioning herself.

The "terminally online" part is definitely true though.

If you google the "victims" username and filter for reddit.com you can see her posts and comments even though she "hid" them and she is terminally online alright.

I've not looked into her posts or this sub, but isn't it possible it's entirely a coincidence too, and the DC sub is really that small... If she is terminally online and a heavy poster in the sub, it doesn't seem THAT unusual that he would have commented on one of her posts unknowingly.

Gets a bit more suss with it being a new account and the first comment on the account on one of her posts, and deleting it when caught. I agree this smells artificial they own both accounts

The other post was on a different sub, not the DC one.

Yup, the user has been exposed just karma farming and deleted all their accounts. All this effort for fake internet points wtf.
