I went to New York today and a creepy man followed me.
He was wearing a red sweater and kept asking me questions about myself. I lost him after two blocks, but seriously, WTF? :scared::scared::scared:

Then I went to a cafe and had tea with some dangerous radicals. It was fun.

1. Rule me out as a suspect
I was nowhere near New York today and I don't own a red sweater.

4. THANK YOU!
He just started following me while I was walking, going, "Where are you from?" I lied and said New Jersey. "What's your name?" I lied and said Robin. "Where are you going?" I told the truth and said, "In front of me."

5. If I had known you didn't like red
I'd have worn a different color sweater.

7. If you'd gone to New York and this HADN'T happened to you,
you'd have left with a curious feeling of emptiness. "Why wasn't this trip more... fulfilling?" you'd ask yourself. "Is it something that's wrong with me?" This man, with his dirty red sweater and nonsensical questions, spared you months of existential angst.

8. Whoa...
How'd you know his sweater was dirty? Man, you're psychic!

I'm not sure what existential angst is, but judging by what existentialism is, I'm going to guess it's angst with no inherent meaning.

9. And it wasn't like it was 2 adults either.
Middle aged stranger following high school person. Eh, whatever.
