[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.

Some questions I saw:
-Our department is made up of 6 people. Coworker has been with us since mid-November. She's a fun person & I've been out after work to have drinks with her and others in our dept. NO ONE KNEW about her son. We work 3 days in office/2 days at home. I'm telling you, the photo of her son on her desk looks legit like a real baby.

-Only 4 of us came to the party from our department. There was 8 people total the whole time and two neighbors of hers stopped by during halftime to see the show. Her husband was one of the people there. They don't seem weird if that makes sense. They seem like perfectly normal people but the way some people think of themselves as a Dog Mom, she's a Doll Mom? The husband held the baby but overall, it seems like it's more of her thing.

-Also, wtf else was I supposed to say when she took us on a house tour and showed us the freaking nursery?! The nursery was a lovely shade of pale blue-gray.

Like, I was just thrust into this weird ass situation and trying to figure out wtf was going on. I once went to NYC while in college and allowed myself to be pushed into a sketchy van on Canal street and driven around by Asian strangers with visible guns under their coats to buy knockoff designer bags and yet THIS was the most worried I'd been for my life.

I don't think this stems from trauma but who knows. I'm not touching that or asking about it. A coworker there did try to hint at it, I think, when they asked if Eli was their only child. She said that he was the only kid they wanted. I looked up these dolls and lifestyle on Instagram and it's not just people with trauma who like these dolls.

I told my sister about this experience last night and she laughed until she was crying and gasping for air because it is just like me to make a resolution to be more social and then put myself into such an odd social experience. I'm a homebody. The pandemic made me even worse. I'm not even saying my hobbies are better than hers, either! I'm really not making fun of her, I swear. When I get home from work, I toss on some trashy TV and spend my evenings doing jigsaw puzzles or diamond painting. Diamond painting...because I find the sounds of squishing the stones down very soothing & because I have no real artistic skill to really paint. I'm not some cool person.  [/quote]

OP, I really need to hear more about your experiences with the van full of Yakuza.   :lol: [/quote]

We were broke college kids who wanted designer bags. Another friend had gone to NYC for spring break and told us all about Canal street. A few weeks later we took the train up and hit up Canal street. We walked up to a lady selling bags on the street and told her we were looking for higher-end bags. She nodded and told us to follow her. We did down the street and around a corner. There was a maroon van parked on the street, she opened, the door, and shoved us in. Told us "fast, fast, fast!" and as soon as we were in, the van started driving. I remember looking at my friend like "fuuuuuu...my mom is going to be SO pissed at me for dying this way!" There were 2 Asian guys inside the van and another guy driving. The guys inside had visible guns tucked in their waistbands. They pulled back tarps and all the designer knockoffs you could want awaited us. Once we picked and paid, the van pulled over and we hopped out. I remember telling her that we'd just survived how SO many episodes of Law & Order and L&O SVU started.

We also followed armed Asians into sweatshop factories along Canal street, too. I'm super embarrassed by this behavior now, but in 2008, yeah, I didn't know better. Nor did I realize how I could have been arrested if that was an undercover sting.  [/quote]
