“aggressive person in dupont?”

“Dear PoPville,

This might sound totally weird, but I hoped others might have information that could help! A few months ago, I was grabbing a coffee at Java House on 17th — I was in there with one other customer, who was doing finger guns and kicking their knees up. I didn’t think much of it until I realized they’d locked eyes with me and seemed to be threatening me in some way. I looked away, but as this person walked across the cafe to leave, they ran straight into me, knocking me off balance. (It was clearly intentional — we were the only two people inside, and this was out of view of the folks working behind the counter.) It weirded me out, but I left quickly and got out of there.

Fast forward to earlier this week,

I was walking down 17th (near 17th and P) when this same person appeared, walking straight at me, quickly, locking eyes with me — coming up so close, so fast I thought they were going to attack me and I screamed. When they were within inches of me, they just..changed direction and kept going? They didn’t touch me and it simply seemed to be to threaten me. I don’t know this person and can only assume they’re just aggressively targeting random people or possibly have some personal things going on. Has anyone else had weird experiences like this? I want to make sure I’m not imagining things! This person is white, can’t be over 5’10 or so (probably closer to 5’8ish), sandy colored short hair, no facial hair. First time I saw them they were wearing an oversized leather jacket and boots and sunglasses, second time it was a flannel. I’m not sure about gender.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
